1) The exposition of the purposes of the international
organization whose establishment is sought is satisfactorily
made in the first chapter of the Proposals. It is considered,
however, that as regards Paragraph 3, it would have been
advisable to indicate, as an efficient means of achieving
internatiornal cooperation in the solution of economic and
social problems, the necessity of the existence of equality
of treatment and the adoption of just and equitable procedures
in international trade, which the Dominican Republic advocated
in a decided manner at the United Nations Conference on Food
and Agriculture.
2) Concerning the principles of agreement upon which
the international organization and its members should act in
order to achieve the purposes contained in the Proposals,
the Dominican Government agrees with the Juridical Committee
that the expression "sovereign equality" used by the authors
of the Dumbarton Oaks Proposals, upon expounding the first
of those principles, contains a guarantee that the sphere
reserved for those rights essential to the permanence of the
juridical personality of States will not be invaded. In
short, such a concept forms the basis of the memorandum
transmitted, as mentioned above, on September 12, 1944,
by the Dominican Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the United
States of America, and it constitutes one of the American
principles of International Law, incorporated in the
proposals approved by the Conference of Jurists at
Rio de Janeiro in 1937.

In fact, it may be said that out of the sovereign
equality of States arises the necessity of international
organization and that all the obligations that these pro-
posals signify to the States members of it are intimately
related to this essential principle, especially the obliga-
tion involving the exclusion of all intervention on the
part of one State in the affairs of another, an exclusion
that would not cease except for the benefit of the inter-
national organization and only in the measure and the scope
determined by the reservation already stated concerning
the essential rights of each member.
On the other hand, as was also expressed by the Juridical
Committee, it would be desirable for the second of the
principles mentioned in these proposals to be completed with
the reaffirmation of the general principle of good faith in
the observance of treaties. The Good Neighbor Policy, adopt- -
ed by the United States Government in its relations with the
other American countries, and the fundamental principles of
