OO r AMERICA DISTRUSTED BY LATIN AMERICANS MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay. Feb. 26. .Misunderstanding and ignorance of the real policy of the United States concerning the Monroe Doctrine is the greatest difficulty in the way of organizing a Pan-American league, said Dr. Baltazar Brum, president of Uruguay, in an interview with newspaper news-paper correspondents of North America Amer-ica a few day s ago. 'Uruguay and various other American Ameri-can countries Understand the real policy pol-icy at Washington," he said, "but some of the other nations show an evidence of distrust of the real intention of the United States concerning I'enlral and South American republics- "There are tendencies in some of these countries to pursue a counter policy, which has taken expression by the suggestion of forming a purely 'Latin-American league.' " Dr. Brum first proposed Ihe organization or-ganization of a Pan-Amerhan league In April last and the plan whll h has now come to be known as th- Brum Pan-American Doctrine, seems i0 bo the subject nearest his heart. It is baaed upon equality of responsibility on the part of all American republics and under It each would agree to de-' fend any of Its fellow members of the League against foreign aggression I I i i 7 w.r i".,u3i-ii league , would bo s declaration by each nation ' of adherence, to tin; Monroe Doctrine I which would place all on an equal land rerprocnl basis in the .matter of' i Its enforcement. !
