The point is that the Latin American countries have been taught to believe that there was something it Pan Americanism. The only practical result of Pan Anlerieanisns today is the fact that we do not apply immigration quotas to persons comning from those countries. Ini all other matters they are on an equality. Furthermore. Pan Americatism has been employed on our part to promote peace on the Western Hemisphere and also to promote our comtnerce with Latin American countries. We have been in a number of cases selected as the judge in disputes over boundary questions and other matters between Latin American countries. and it is the belief of persons best qualified to know that if we do this thing it will appeal to them as so unreasonable and illogical. in view of the fact that there are no immigrants from those countries. it will cause much ill feeling to arise and will make it more difficult for us to promote peace on the Western Hdmisphere. Furthermore. it is the opinion of our representatives. our ministers and consuls. and of business men who have had most to do with those countries. that the passage of the bill in its original form. applying to all Latin American countries. would result in very serious loss in commerce and would also actually result in greater unemployment In this country.
