Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The New Pan Americanism, Vol. 6 The object of this publication is to bring together the essential utterances and facts that contribute to a clearer definition of a Pan American league of peace. It would be interesting to review events of the nineteenth century that have exhibited the Monroe doctrine in the light of the common interests of American sovereignties and peoples. Such a story would extend from the Congress of Panama in 1826 up to the International American Conference of 1889-90 and its successors in the series of Pan American conferences, with all that they have implied. But we confine ourselves to the most recent manifestations of Pan Americanism, believing that they introduce the promise of new harmonies, to which earlier events have been something like a prelude. The first official statement which clearly voiced the ideals of the new Pan Americanism was the speech made by Hon. Elihu Root before the Third International American Congress at Rio de Janeiro, July 31, 1906. At that time Mr. Root, who was then secretary of state in President Roosevelt´s cabinet, expounded the doctrine of American international solidarity of interests. The most significant sentences of that address are here quoted: ...No nation can live unto itself alone and continue to live. Each nation´s growth is a part of the development of the race... It is with nations as it is with individual men; intercourse, association, correction of egotism by the influence of other´s judgment, broadening of views by the experience and thought of equals, acceptance of the moral standards of a community the desire for whose good opinion lends a sanction to the rules of right conduct - these are the conditions of growth in civilization... To promote this mutual interchange and assistance between the American Republics, engaged in the same great task, inspired by the same purpose, and professing the same principles, I understand to be the function of the American Conference now in session.
