"Unquestionably, the interests and
ideals of the Western Hemisphere lie
in the pathway of peace, not war. The
international horizon at present Is
black with the clouds of war, and the
nations Of the American Continent
should be giving this matter careful
and constant attention. to insure that
our peoples shall not be involved in the
coming wars In Europe or Asia. Our
joint interests and our duty to man
kind demand that we remain aloof,
and that we prepare now for effective
neutrality. AS the World War showed.
the wish for peace and neutrality IL far
more simple than the deed. II We are
not prepared for the effective defense
Of neutrality, some of us may have II
only at complete sacrifice Of our
rights as neutrals; and our economic
life, both internal and external, may
be taken completely out of our control
and directed by one or more bellig-
erents, for their interests, as happened
more than once during the course Of
the World War.
Colombia was neutral during that
conflict, and many of its citizens re-
member still the irritating interfer-
ences with their economic activities
and their rights as neutrals. II sover-
eighty implies the right of every nation
to become q belligerent, it should like
wise imply the right to remain a neu-
trail. The right must be defended.
Two implications Seen.
The prime purpose of q joint neu-
trality policy OF the Americas would
be to keep the nations of the Western
Hemisphere out of any world conflict
alien to their lasting interests. It
should be borne in mind, however,
that q Pan-American neutrality policy,
or q unilateral policy declared by the
United States. has two major implica-
tions, one that affects the American
nations, and one that affects the rest
of the world. am not yet certain
whether one general formula would
meet both ends, unless it is co-existent
with an effective peace mechanism.
as far as the Americas are concerned.
"As for o joint neutrality policy
affecting the rest of the world, think
that 1t could contribute immeasurably
to general peace. For the combined
resources of the Americas are SO
enormous (more than one-half of the
economic resources of the entire
world) that with such policy. we
could do much to deter nations from
resorting to q widespread conflict,

the most ardent enthusiasts for the
League Of Nations, that the world is
divided into great regions; and that
the quickest way Of making q world
organization function effectively Is
through regional groupings based upon
mutual regional interests.
THAT is why the President and
government of Colombia are proposing
the consideration now of an American
League of Nations. My one wish for
the coming conference Is that the
delegates will sign few treaties, but
good and clearly-written ones, after
having counted the cost, and signins
with complete good faith, stripped OF
