rule. to stanc in tfic way of any U. s. proposals.
 Repeately this group sought to have the United States waive any right of interference in the inter nal affairs of other American na- tions. Each time the United States side stepped, even as late as the Havana conference in 1928
 Then in 1883 at the regular con- ference at Montevideo, the United States of its own accord announced it would keep out of the internal affairs of the other nations.
 There was much skepticism among declarat tions, until there came real proof of U S. sincerity The proof came first in hte case of Cuba. The United States withdrew the so- called Platt provision of the treaty with Cuba under which this coun- try reserved the right to interfere. And a whole series of revolutions went on in Cuba without the Unit ed States landing solitary marine. DECISION PAYS DIVIDEND
 More emphatic proof came in the case of Mexico when the U. s. ob- served a complete hands-off atti- tude in the long series of expropria- tions of foreign property culminat- ing with the seizure of extensive oil properties.
 Then came the Lima conference The U S delegation went there hopeful that united declaration of hemispherical solidarity would be worked out.
 The rival blocs evident even at Montevideo five years earlier had shaken apart and Argentina was left alone The 19 other Latin American nations arrayed them selves with the United States favor ing a fairly binding pledge of CO., operation in hemispherical defense.
 Notifications were made to meet the Argentine position but the new alignment indicated that early dis trust of Yankee imperialism had faded.

fortunately most of the informa-

gives us the impression that the
Civil War was a political football

years, did much creditable work in
