DEFENCE OF AMERICA
"BUSINESS OF THE WHOLE
CONTINENT"
NEW YORK, December 28.
Broadcasting ' from Lima today Assistant Secretary of State, Dr. A. A. Berle, said that, as a result of the Lima Declaration, the defence of the American Continent, which the United States had hitherto maintained through the Monroe Doctrine; had now become the business of the whole continent. American institutions, besides territory, had to be protected.
Stressing the need for avoiding a narrow spirit of nationalism, Dr. Berle remarked significantly: "We cannot ask countries to sacrifice their European markets if we are prepared to close our own. We must do our share in establishing a practical economic system."
