Irrespective. I think the Dominican Republic action can be rationalized in defense of the administration. especially with the action by the OAS. When the Congress then passes House Resolution 560 which would appear to lock in concrete Dominican Republictype policy for the futurea policy of force for the United States or any of the Americas based on a fragmentary threatit is readily foreseeable that America will be further embarrassed in her relationship with her "good neighbors." If we then confound this by establishing quotas on hemispheric immigration to protect ourselves from hemispheric Communists. we will. In fact. lay the cornerstone for chaos in the Americas for the balance of the 20th century. To tell any Latin dictator that he can forcibly meddle. with our approval. in the affairs of his neighbor that may or may not have a substantial Communist Party on the theory that he is forcibly suppressing a Communist threat. can only have the effect of. in fact. stimulating the forces of communism and diminishing American stature on these continents.
