The State Depart- intervention." In connection with the actual questions that will be discussed by our delegation, most American ob- servers feel that there are two prob- lems affecting our relations with the other republics that are certain to arise. One, undoubtedly, will have to do with the treatment of Ameri- can citizens and American property. The other question, much more subtle, but even more pressing at the present time than the first, and as certain to come up now as it didi dur- ing President Monroe's administra- tion in 1823, will concern the "at- tempts of foreign powers to extend their s:stem to any portion of this hemisphere." Such attempts, in the eyes of nearly all Americans, would be considered now, as it was then, as being "dangerous to our peace and safety." The policy of the State Department in regard to this second question is unequivocal; it has been stated and re-stated in press conferenecs and de- partmental releases. The newest ver- sion, voiced by Secretary Hull just before heaving for Lima, can be sum- marized as follo s: We cannot ques- tion the right of any Latin-American republic to manage its internal af- fairs as it chooses, but we would be concerned, as would our neighbors, if any Lain-American country were to become, in form or in fact, a depen- dency of a foreign power. We believe that the existing governments of the Latin - American countries would agree that the arrogance of European dictatorships must stop short of this side of the Atlantic. It is undoubtedly true, as many (Indian Laws On Display An exhibit of original copies of the laws of the original five Indian na- tions: the Cherokee, Osage, Creek, Chicasaw and Choctaw tribes, ar- ranged by Miss Esther Betz, assistant I law librarian, is now on display at the Legal Research Library. Some of the volumes displayed are in the Indian language and date back as early as 1873. ment is aware of this fact, but insists a that their natural evolution will be toward democracy, and the United States is ready to share with themI the responsibility of seeing to it that; this natural evolution is not impededI by foreign pressure, military or ec- onomic. This is not, the Administration in-" sists, an unwarranted manifestation of utopian idealism on our part. It is said to be in direct harmony with the principles of the Monroe Doctrine. There will, furthermore, be mutual profit in improved commercial rela- tions throughout the Americas. The economic side of Latin-Ameri- can relations, stressed by the State Department in its outline of Ameri- can policy, is probably the most sig- nificant, and in part explains our po- litical policy. The statistical record of the past few years, compiled by the Standard Statistics Company, in- dicates that the struggle for Latin- American trade has been intensified, and that the chief competing na- tions-the United States, Germany, Great Britain and Japan-have suc- ceeded in raising materially their ag- gregate share in Latin-American trade. The most aggressive campaign has been conducted by Germany, which has been forcd to shift imports to those countries providing an outlet for its manufactures. The German trade drive has been most successful in Brazil and Chile, where Germany in 1936 displaced the United States as the chief source of imports, and com- most-favored nation clause with the petition has been scarcely less severe 'fundamental aim of "restoring a re- in Peru. gime of international trade relations Japanese participation in Latin- based upon fair and equitable treat- American trade, according to a De- ment rather than exclude advantage." partment of Commerce bulletin re- The Act specifically gives the Presi- leased last May, has been based al- dent power to enter into trade agree- most wholly on the ability of Japanese ments "whenever he finds as a fact manufacturers to undersell foreign that any existing duties or other im- competitors in the case of simple cot- port restrictions of the United States ton textiles and other standardized or any foreign country are unduly manufactures embodying a high per- burdening or restricting the foreign .centage of direct labor costs. trade of the United States."
