Show Argentine Lawyer Takes Rap at U. S. "Ambitions" in South America (By The Associated Pre?s. ) I BUF.NOS AIRES, Sept.. IT. The I Monroe Doctrine Is not a doctrine of "America for the Americans'" but of i "America for the North Americans", declared Dr. Luclo M. Moreno Quln-i Quln-i tana, an Argentine lawyer and grandson grand-son of a former President of Argentina In an. address recently before the law j students of tho University of Buenos 'Aires In which he attacked the proposal pro-posal made by President Brum ct Uruguay last April for thd formation i of an 'American League." President Brum 1 Idea that the h ague ..hould be based on :i declaration declara-tion by all Latin-American countries similar to the Monroe Doctrine which would thus place them on a footing of equality with the United States In maintaining that doctrine, was asserted as-serted by Dr Quintans to be a dan- gerous one for Latin-America He told the students that the danger lay In North American imperialism." for j the Monroe Doctrine was un Imperialistic Imperial-istic doctrine solely intended to maintain main-tain North American hegemony over tho rest of the continent. EXCLUSIVE LEAGUES Dr. Quintans contended that the safety of Iatln-Amerlcan countries lay In the formation of a league exclusively ex-clusively among themselves a Latln-Americah Latln-Americah league of countries of the same origin, analogous customs, similar simi-lar language and professing the same Ideals and aspirations. It should be formed "with the end of uniting their common Interests and presenting a defensive bloc against North American Ameri-can imperialism and against any Ku-ropcan Ku-ropcan pretensions , though he believed be-lieved the latter would be very remote, The recognition of the Monroe Doctrine Doc-trine in Article I'l of the pact of the LfSgue of Nations was a matter, he .iii. "upon whose consequences for them, all tho Latin-American countries, coun-tries, ought to meditate profoundly " Although Dr. Brum's Pan-Amerlcun concept was that of equulily and fra- ternity among ;'l) the nations of the two continents. Dr. Qulntana delarod that any one who considered that the I'nlled States would pretend to treat the rest cf the couhtrios of America as cquuls and brothers was Utopian CITES TRANSGRESSIONS He cited what ho called Instances of the "continuous transgression of tho Pan-American concept by the United States after the proclamation of the Monroe Doctrine, "aitwnk' then. "the Muccesf:lo separations of Mexico." "the armed Intervention of the I nlted Bl lt with European countries when It collected tho public debts of Venezuela," Vene-zuela," the threat of military intervention inter-vention of the Honduras and the "demand "de-mand of the United States upon Columbia Col-umbia that it enact q law for the expiration ex-piration of petroleum on basis determined de-termined by the Yankee government under threat that Columbia would be deprived of Its Indemnity of $2G,000,- , 000 voted by the North American parliament as compensation for an act ; whose injustice even the Yankees recognize, re-cognize, tho separation from Columbia. I of Pan:-ma." The hitter Instance, siys I Dr. Quintans, well characterizes tho i Imperialistic ambitions of the great I republic of the North." NOT COMPLIMENTARY In reality, he declared, it ought to be said that the Lnlt'd Slates Is "a bastard brothel lu respect to the rest of the American countries. There , does not exlHt between theni and us, I the same tie of brotherhood that w .Latin-American countries have among, i ourselves " The Monroe Doctrine, he continued, j "has served as an admirable Instrument Instru-ment for the I'nit 'l St.it -s to separate ESdrope from America und tr establish, Its hegemony over tho latter. Thoj 'nlted States has hern at all times! prcoccuplr-d in obtaining concessions of every kind at the cost of sovereignity sover-eignity of the rest of the American States." He argued that the doetrln was dangerous because It was "North American Imperialism hidden under a principle of International law." Dr. Quintana concluded by saying that the Pan-American league Dr. Brum proposes, would be jg,n organisation organi-sation rebounding exclusively to the benefit of the Lnlted States which would convert itself Juridically and officially Into tho director of America with consequent impairment and evident evi-dent danger to tho other countries of our continent Dr. yulntar.a's address IS now being Circulated in booklet form under the Utli Politics Americana' and Is dedicated dedi-cated to tho late President Canan-rt of Mexico. oo Herons never pr t plump, no matter how aliundant their food |
