TITLE 22—FOREIGN RELATIONS AND INTERCOURSE
§ 522
‘‘Whereas our traditional policy has been to consider
any attempt on the part of non-American powers to ex-
tend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as
dangerous to the peace and safety not only of this
country but of the other American republics; and
‘‘Whereas the American republics agreed at the Inter-
American Conference for the Maintenance of Peace
held in Buenos Aires in 1936 and at the Eighth Inter-
national Conference of American States held in Lima
in 1938 to consult with one another in the event that
the peace, security, or territorial integrity of any
American republic should be threatened; and
‘‘Whereas the Meeting of the Foreign Ministers of the
American Republics at Panama October 3, 1939, re-
solved ‘That in case any geographic region of America
subject to the jurisdiction of any non-American state
should be obliged to change its sovereignty and there
should result therefrom a danger to the security of the
American Continent, a consultative meeting such as
the one now being held will be convoked with the ur-
gency that the case may require’:’’.
