It is interesting to observe that President Roosevelt is promoting a “New World” peace pact at the convention of the North and South Ameriecan government: Bepresentatives in Buenos Ayres. This-will probably fall short of the wide powers which, under President Wilson, were delegated to the League of Nations. Ya do not wish to be unduly pessimQeic, but we would like some one to «i us, why, if the League of Nations fails, with its exceptjonally wide powers of action, such as “s@lttions”’ and even group military enforcement, how a similar organization of New World governments can hope to succeed. By tradition and (blood lines we are more closely in sympathy with the people of the British Empire than with any Latin Republic to the south. By historical association with France, French aid during the Revolution, French travel on the part of ‘hundreds of thousands of American citizens, the influence of French thought in shaping our governmental pattern, notably through Thiomas Jefferson, and in many other ways, we are more neighborly with France than with Mexico, out next door neighbor or any country farther south. But we are not forming a defensive alliance with any European country, even though bound to some of them much more closely than we are with any South American republic. ‘The World War ‘perhaps, taught us the futility and the costliness of foreign entanglements. Our involvement, all told cost us 45 billion dollars. If we counted the cost of the depression, which resulted from our participation in that affair, as it ought to ‘be counted, some 15 billions more should be added. Any convention among a group of nations which proposes to preserve peace among themselves, or as against the attacks of other nations or groups of nations, must necesgarily depend upon how willing all the parti icipants are to muster foreon land and sea, to defend may no more be maintained amc@g a group of tions without an armed force stituted for maintaining that peace, than it can be maintained here in Nevada City without peace officers. es, in air, that neaice. Peace nainweather trade pact, a neral lowering of the tariff bara: between the United States and the Latin republics to the south, the eonvention at Buenos Ayres should be very helpful. But peace between the Old World and the New or even among the countries signatory to any New World “New Deal’? must depend upon the willingness of each of the covenant to surrender so much of their national liberties as will enable them to employ a common police force to act in case abritration fails. For -a-fair signer One splendid result of the PanAmerican conventions which have been held in the past and which seem to be culminating in something greater than ever before conceived in this Buenos .Ayres meeting, is that all the countries to the south of us have ceased to regard the United States as the fearsome “Colossus of the North.’”’ To President Roosevelt’s ‘‘good neighbor” policy is mainly due the vanquishment of this old, hateful bogey ® among the South Americans and the . dation may find sustinance. birth of a friendly feeling. Even here. we_ suspect, that, though the ,Rolosevelt Administration has specifically disavowed the Monroe doctrine which constituted us the guardian of New World countries against encroachment of old world powers, the Latin Americans will be glad to have this arrangement continued under a new name. For whatever the new pact may be called, or however, it may be implemented, it is certain that the major burden of its maintainance will fall on your Uncle Sam. The danger of foreign agression, European or Asiastic, grows year by year. Germany and Italy are both casting about for new worlds to conquer where they may export their rplus population. Japan is in the game position. Italy has won a place -in the sun in Ethiopia, where, in years to come, a considerable popuJapan has Manchuria and that should suffice for a long time, though Manchuria had a fairly dense population before the Japanese conquest. .
