rize Collaboration With

hedged military collaboration with
other American nations as a new

of any groups who may use them
to oppose peaceful and democratic
principles" .

marily to enable the American ma
tons to carry out their oollgations

Chapultepec which is intended to be
supplanted by a permanent inter-
American treaty." the Presidential
message said.

ed Congress for a War department

finance its operations during the
fiscal year starting July l. The

and men on June 80 this year to
