The failure of the Lima Conference to produce results satisfactory to the United States was due to the fact that its Caribbean policy and Monroe Doctrine have become more and more blunt in recent years.
The 7th Pan-American conference. in 1933, was a great success, strengthening as it did the spiritual union of the states in North, South and Central America, because at that time the so-called good neighbour pol of the United States was humin' with the spirit of international democracy.
At the recent Lima conference, however, the United States tried to force all the other states to help Washington to strengthen its military preparations against an dinary menace. This greatly reduced the effect of the Lima Conference.
