country cannot find adequate mar

American continent. ~
There are three solutions, he
said political control by the
United States of large unde-
veloPed areas from which we can
have a monopoly OF trade; a regi-
mented society or revision of
tariff policies The latter he char
acterized as AN energizing force. "
