FASCISM:

States and abroad.
That was the gist Of a congres.

compiled by the legislative refer
ence service Of the library Of con.
gress and released to the public
only after months Of alteration and
controversy.
While the main body Of the bulky
report dealt with Fascism abroad,
Rep. Wright Patnan (Dem.. Tex.)
in a foreword to the document, said
bluntly that There are many
strong symptoms of Fascism in our
own democratic society,"" although
they may masquerade under less
odious names.
Correctly defining Fascism as "a
philosophy and a way of life which
requires that its followers serve the
state with an unwavering faith"
Patman asserted that the best
weapons with which to combat It
are education, full employment, In

Mutual Defense

lanes Monroe. fftb President OF
tSs United States, bad bis say. in spirit
as least, at THE inter-Ameriean defense
conference at PetrotoEs. BrHzH. IN
ASgnst, 1947.
When the conference agreed on a
mutual aid treaty for North and
South America and their territorial
waters. and set up vast. North
Pole-South Pole hemisphere secu-
rity zone. the celebrated Monroe
doctrine was developed to its log
teal conclusion 124 years after its
inception.
This was the burden Of the Mon
roe doctrine in 1923: 1T is only
when our rights are invaded or Sc
riously menaced that we resent in
turies or make preparations for our
defense in this hemisphere ~
Today, the Americas are making
preparations for hemisphere de-
fense in advance Of any menace
or invasion of their rights. The mu-
tual defense treaty embodies three
main points:
l. In the case of armed attack
from outside the hemisphere.
all nations have the automatic
right to meet the attack with
military measures.
2. II military attack occurs in
side the hemisphere, American
nations may go voluntarily to
the aid of the victim, with con-
sultations to follow.
3. If attacks occur both inside
the hemisphere and outside the
security region, immediate con-
situations will be caned.
Thus. despite the opposition OF
some Latin American nations to the
q. S.-espoused Monroe doctrin-
ism." it appeared certain that the
hands off the Americas" policy
was in for a big revival in the atom
ic age.
