INTRODUCTION.
| The international relations of
the countries of Latin America
are of great importance for the
United States, but the import
Latin
to the

cause the countries of
America do not present

mediately pressing as. those of
Korea; China, France or Germany
we tend to ignore them, Such indifference may, however, eventually have most unfortunate consequence if the attitude is long
maintained.

REASONS FOR RELATIVE:
CALM AT PRESENT IN THEIR
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

The twenty republics of Latin
Almerica are fortunately~ located
with respect to the Cold War.
from ~~ the
areas of conflict along the Iron
Curtain. ~Because they are in the
Western Hemisphere they may be
said to lie in the American sphere

of influence and well behind the
lines of the struggle of the superpowers, the United. States and
the USSR.

This location ~means that the
Latin American countries. do not
need to concern themselves greatly about defending themselves
against foreign invaders. They
do not maintain large, expensive

armies against navies or air
forces. Instead they largely. rely
on the strength of the United

States to protect them against attack by outside powers. North
America should not - be greatly
surprised by this, since all thru
the nineteenth century and well
into the present one we relied
on the British fleet and the French
army to shield us against attack
or aggression by dictators governing countries, located in. Cen
tral or Eastern Europe. In acting
as isolationists as they~ often do,
Latin American countries are following the pattern

ces by Washington, John Adams,
and Jefferson for our young republic. They see) no point in exhausting their strength by trying
to play a major part in the struggle of the world~s great powers.

The origins of this theory that.

Latin American countries can
rely on the: United States to protect them~ against European aggression go-back to the adoption
of the Monroe Doctrine in 18283.
In that year there were reports
that the conservative continental
rulers, the so-called Holy Alliance
sovereigns of Russia, Austrtfa,
Prussia and France, were about
to interview. in Latin: America, to
help Spain) regain) control of her
former~ colonies which had taken
advantage of the confusion created..by the Napoleonic wars to!

proclaim their. independence.

annual message to Congress,
enunciated several principles, designed to cover this situation.
One of these proclaimed that the
continents of the Western Hemisphere were no longer to be ~~considered as subject for future
colonization by any European
powers.~ This. indicated that
American strength was pledged
for the purpose of preventing
any attempts by European powers
to destroy the independenec2 of
the newly established republics
of Latin America. At the time of
the original proclamation of the
Monroe Doctrine, America~s military strength ~ was aetually not
very great and the) real guarantee of Latin American: independence came more from London
and the British fleet than from
Washington. In later years of the
19th Century, the United States
became the real, as well as the
theoretical protector) of the Latin
American republics | and other
parts of the Western Hemisphere.

Real. power, as expressed by
the United States, brings with it
great responsibilities, whose fulfillment does not always make a
powerful nation a-|popular one.
Uncle Sam, the) protector of the
Western Hemisphere, soon felt
called upon to be its) policemen as
well. European nations which
had loaned money to| Latin American governments demanded that
the United States act asa collection agency [if we would not
permit them to use | their armed
forces for this purpose. American private business. interests
also requested similar help from
their government. Toward the end
