This was attributed to the United
States Western Hemisphere defense
policy and the progress of the Eu-

entire hemisphere already assumed
that the United States would nego-
tate bilateral accords equally with
all Latin American republics.
AS for the Mexican-United States
agreement, 1t was emphasized that
the initiative for the accord best
would come from Mexico, and that
the opening spadew0rk probably
would come when Gen. Francisco

Initiative Declared Vital.
After a detailed survey of condi-
lions in countries occupied by Ger

that "in planning for European re-
organization which might offer an
alternative to Nazi-ism the western
powers will have to bear in mind
three major considerations-that the
100000 Germans on the CONT
nent are bound to play a major
part in the future development of
Europe and can neither be perma-
nently suppressed nor eXterminated:
that Britain and the United States,
if they wish to participate in
Europe's affairs, must accept reSpon-
sibilities, as well as advantages, ON
that continent, and that victory
over Nazi-iSm can be achieved only
if the western powers. instead of
attempting to check revolutionary
political and economic changes all
over the world take the initiative
out of the hands of the Nazis by
formulating and actively advancing
their own program Of fundamental
reforms"
