SAYS MONROE
DOCTRINE IS
IMPERIALISTIC
BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 24 (by As
sociated Press).—The Monroe Doc
trine is not a doctrine of “America
for the Americans” but of “America
for the North Americans,” declared
Dr. Lucio M. Moreno Quintana, an Ar
gentine lawyer and a grandson of the
former president of Argentine in an
address recently before the laAv stu
dents of the Unhrersity of Buenos
Aires in which he attacked the propos
al made by President Brum of Uru
guay last April for the formation of
an “American League.”
Pres. Brum’s idea that the league
should be based on a declaration
by all La tin-American countries simi
lar to the Monroe Doctrine which
would place them on a footing of
equality with the U. S. In maintain
ing that the doctrine was, asserted the
Doctor, to be a dangerous one for Lat
in America. He told the students
that the danger lay in “North .Ameri
can imperialism.” for the Monroe Doe
trine Avas an imperialistic doctrine
solely intended to maintain North Am
erican hegemony over the rest of the
continent.
Dr. Quintana contended that the
safety of Latin American countries
lay in the formation of a league ex
clusively among themselves, a Latin
American league of countries of the
same origin, analagous customs, sim
ilar language and professing the same
ideals and aspirations. It should be
formed “Avith the end of uniting their
common interests and presenting a de
fensive ‘bloc’ against North American
imperialism and against any European
pretensions.” though he believed the
latter Avould be very remote.
The recognition of the Monroe Doc
trine in Article 21 of the pact of the
League of Nations was a matter, he
said, “upon whose consequences for
them, all the Latin-American countries
ought to meditate profundly.” Al
though Dr. Brum’s Pan-American con
cept was that of equality and frater
nity among all the nations of the two
continents Dr. Quintana declared that
any one who considered that the Uni
ted States would pretend to treat the
rest of the countries of America as
equals and brothers was utopian.
He cited what he called instances
of the “continuous transgression of
the Pan-American concept by the Uni
ted States after the proclamation of
the Monroe Doctrine among them,”
and the “successive separations of
Mexico,” also “the armed intervention
of the United States with European
countries when it collected the public
debts of Venezuela,” “the threat of mil
itary intervention in Honduras and
the demand of the United States
%
upon Colombia that it enact a law for
the exploitation of petroleum on bases
determined by the Yankee govern
ment under threat that Colombia
would be deprived of its indemnity of
$25,000,000 voted by the North Ameri
can parliament as compensation for
an act whose injustice the Yankees
recognize—the separation from Col
ombia of Panama.” The latter in
instance, says Dr. Quintana, “well
characterizes the imperialistic ambi
tions of the republic of the north.”
In reality, he declared, it ought to
be said that the United States is “a
bastard brother in every respect to the
rest of the American countries. There
does not exist between them and us
the same tie of brotherhood that we
Latin-American countries have among
ourselves.”
ihe Monroe Doctrine, he continued,]
“has served as an admirable instru
ment tor the United States to separate
Europe from America and to estab
lish its hegemony over the latter.
The United States has been at all
times preoccupied in obtaining con
cessions of every kind at the cost of
the sovereignty of the rest of the
American states.” He argued that the
doctrine was dangerous because it was
“North American imperialism hidden
under a principle of international
alw.”
Dr. Quintana concluded by saying
that the Pan-American league that
Dr. Brum proposes, would be “an or
ganization redounding exclusively to
the beiefit of the United States which
would convert itself judicially and of
ficially into the director of America
wies consequent impairment and evi
dent danger to the other countries of
our continent.”
Dr. Quintana’s address is now being
circulated in booklet form under the
title “Politica Americana” and is
dedicated to the late President Car
ranza of Mexico.

INFORMATION I
ON EXCHANGE
1 ITY BONDS
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24 (by As
sociated Press).—Holders of tempo
rary Liberty Bonds of the first, sec
ond and third Liberty loans are fail
ing to take advantage of the opportun
ity to exchange their holdings for
permanent bonds bearing coupons to
maturity, according to John U. Cal
kins, governor of the Federal Reserve
bank of San Francisco, in a letter to
all banks, bankers and trust companies
of the Twelfth Federal Reserve dis
trict. Interest on these temporary
liberty bonds cannot be collected be
yond the number of coupons attached
to them and it is of vital importance
to those who bought first, second and
third liberty loan bonds to turn them
in for permanent securities.
The relatively small amount of tem
porary coupon bonds of the first,
second and third liberty loans present
ed for exchange indicates that a large
number of bond holders are not now
aware that temporary bonds of the
above issues may, at this time, be
exchanged for permanent coupon
bonds bearing coupons to maturity.
Governor Calkins said in his letter:
“This bank, as fiscal agent of the
United States, is now prepared to
make prompt and full delivery of first,
second, and third liberty loan perma
nent coupon bonds for temporary
coupon bonds surrendered.”
The banks of the Twelfth federal
reserve district were also advised that
owing to unavoidable delays in pre
paring permanent bonds of the fourth
liberty loan, these fourth loan perma
nent bonds will not be available, as
planned until October 15. It is proba
ble that the exchange of temporary
fourth loan bonds for permanent secur
ities of that issue will not be begun
prior to February 1, 1921. However,
as soon as the date commencing such
exchange can be definitely determined,
announcement will be made. The
banks are cautioned not to forward
temporary fourth loan bonds to the
federal reserve bank until advised that
the federal reserve bank is in a posi
tion to make the exchange.
Individual temporary bond holders
of the first, second and third Liberty
loan bonds are requested to turn their
securities in to any local bank, which
will handle the exchange operations
through the federal reserve bank,
rather than to mail their bonds direct
to the federal reserve bank.
NEW RAILROAD WILL
