BERLIN, March 9.-Gen. Wilhelm
Faupel declared today in a bitter
attack on the United States that
"the Monroe Doctrine is nothing but
claim put forward by the United
States for domination of the West
ern Hemisphere"
Gen. Faupel, Reichsfuehrer Hit
ler's Ambassador to Nationalist
Spain in 1887, speaking before the
German Academy, also assailed the
Pan-American Conference at Lima,
Peru, last December.
There is but one danger to Latin
America" he declared. THAT is the
United States"
He urged that Germany pour
educators, scientists and lineuists
INTO Latin America to offset what
ne charged was United States propa- :
ganda there.
Wants Peace, He Says.
we want to live in peace with
the United States" he said, but We
cannot leave unanswered charges
that have been launched against us
oy the United States to curry favor
with Latin America.
we must make liberal use of
radio, press and film, Just as North
America does"
Gen. Faupel said the Lima parlev
must be evaluated as an attack on
a grand scale against totalitarian
states IN general and Germany in
particular.
Against the idea of Pan-America,
which he described as a clever in
vertion Of the United States, he
proposed the idea of a Spanish
America.
The countries of South and Cen
tral America have much more in
common with Spain and Portugal
than with the United States" he
declared.
Pittman Assailed.
Senator Key Pittman, chairman
OF the United States Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, meanwhile.
was assailed as an anti-German
agitator.
Big placards appearing in some
Berlin Office buildings on bulletin
boards devoted to Nazi publicity
material showed Senator Pittman's
head and shoulders in life size, with
the caption, Mark him well!"
The placardS contained a long
TRADE against the United States as
being "Jew-ridden" and as trade
snatchers in South America"
Gen. Faupel said that mot only
should as many German individuals
visit Latin America as possible. but
whole professional groups such as
physicians, scientists and historians
should go there"
He suggested the German Acade-
my invite South and Central Ameri-
cans lin ever-increasing numbers
here to show them how far we are
ahead Of all nations in our culture
and social measures"
There is one happy circumstance
about this fight" he said. THE
truth is on our side"
Charges Interference.
Gen. Faupel contended the his
tory of the United States was a
vast catalogue of imperialistic de-
signs on other peoples, although
the Monroe Doctrine also included
the obligation not to interfere in
other parts of the world"
"Yet the United States has been
interfering constantly in all parts
Of the world" he added. 1--WE have
heard plenty of speeches about self
determination, peace, democracy
and so forth, by North American
and other statesmen.
These speeches are in the Grass
est contradiction of United States
practices. " =
"Other States on the Western
Continent are more modest. From
its name alone we can see that
the United States from the Begin
ming laid claim to continental to-
talitarianism."
