paid to the advantages which would accrue to us if a concerted effort were
made by the public as well as the government to exploit the fact that, as a
consequence of this Latin American doctrine, we cannot bear the onus for
internal political developments which "we do not control, and that the

peace--in itself a great step forward and of proven utility in recent Caribbean
disturbances.
