General Comments 1. The most salient event concerning Latin America during September was the informal consultation of Foreign Ministers of the OAS Members held in Nev York, 21-2J September, on a proposed Conference of Presidents of the American States. The outcome of the informal consultation, together with an OAS Council resolution previously adopted, had the effect of setting an outline of an agenda for theproposed Summit Conference, and also agreeing on the procedure for its preparation. 2. As far as the substance was concerned, the Foreign Ministers agreed that the proposed conference "should be considered as a maximum effort ... for the purpose of bringing about fundamental changes in inter-American economic, social and cultural co-operation by giving a new impulse to the Alliance for Progress and by effective measures to accelerate Latin American economic integration", in accordance with the general wishes of their governments and of their peoples. 3. Concerning procedure, agreement was achieved after protracted discussions as to the preparation of the conference. The OAS Council by its resolution of 19 September formally convoked the Eleventh Meeting of Consultation of Foreign Ministers, to convene within 90 days of that date, in order to take decisions regarding the Summit Conference. Meanwhile, a "Committee on Preparations" for the Eleventh Meeting of Consultation was also established. 4. The Summit Conference, it was further agreed by the Foreign Ministers, should be held "as soon as possible" at a "generally acceptable" date and place to be determined by the OAS Meeting of Consultation. However, it is not fore- seen that the date would be earlier than February or March 1967. 5. With ample time for preparations, and an agreed basic agenda, negotiations are then to proceed in order to ascertain that the Presidential gathering would be fruitful. In this connexion, on 1 September, in his address before Congress, President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz, of Mexico, stated that since the peoples of the Contiment would place their hopes in the Summit Conference, "it would be very - 2 - tragic" and a source of ""bitter frustration" should there be no "important results, clear conclusions, and practical and concrete measures designed to raise the standard of living of the peoples". He added that "it is now necessary to translate good intentions into action". 6. The same emphasis on economic development has "been noticed in the statements of representatives of the Latin American countries which up to now have participated in the general debate of the twenty-first session of the U.N. General Assembly. The prevailing trend of these views has teen a general appeal towards closer co-operation in economic matters between the developed and the developing countries, and expressions of support of such international economic organs as the Conference on Trade and Development, whose recommendations, it has been emphasized, should be urgently implemented, and the Organization for Industrial Development, whose establishment at the current Assembly session has been given wide approval. 7. In the Dominican Republic, the withdrawal of the Inter-American Peace Force - IAPF - was completed on 21 September in accordance with an OAS Council decision of 2h June last. Both the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies of Santo Domingo adopted resolutions to make the date of the final withdrawal of "foreign troops" a national holiday to be celebrated in future years. 8. As had been foreseen, Venezuela Joined the Latin American Free Trade Association (LAFTA) thus raising the number of members to ten Latin American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. It is expected that Venezuela will shortly fulfil the requisites of the Montevideo treaty, and will negotiate its list of products to be traded within LAFTA, in time for the next Conference of LAFTA Foreign Ministers which opens in Montevideo on 2k October, II, Inter-American Relations A. The Informal Meeting of Foreign Ministers - 9. The informal meeting of Foreign Ministers - present in New York on the occasion of their attendance at the twenty-first session of the U.N. General Assembly - accomplished its main purpose when "complete agreement" was reached on an outline of an agenda without, however, setting a date for the proposed Conference Chiefs of State. Also the question of the site of the conference was left to be agreed upon later. I/ For details, see Special Note of 26 September 1966. The official English text of the press communique which was issued appears as Annex I to the present Wote. - 3 - 10. The agreements of the Foreign Ministers reflected the majority view of the Latin American Governments, led by Mexico, which were in favour of (l) avoiding a hasty convocation and an accelerated time-table for the Summit Conference, (2) assuring that the conference would deal mainly with economic questions, and (3) avoiding the inclusion of controversial political issues in the basic agenda. 11. With the agreements now reached, the OAS Members seem to have overcome the divergence of views that had developed among them concerning the Summit Conference. The United States, in agreement with Brazil, had previously urged that the Summit Conference should be convoked for 5 December 1966. It also appears that the United States, together with Argentina and Brazil would have favoured discussion of such controversial issues as the Inter-American Permanent Force and the problem of Cuba. Begarding the site, Ecuador had objected to Lima, Peru, and Vina del Mar, Chile, on the grounds that the conference should not be held in any country with pending boundary disputes. These objections as well as previous objections raised in respect of convening the Third Special Inter-American Conference in Buenos Aires - which has been postponed - have strengthened a Mexican proposal now being studied by the OAS Council that the site of inter-American meetings should be "internationalized". Thus, with rights of "extra-territoriality" generally recognized to these designated meeting places, such type of political objections could be avoided. 12. In regard to the objectives of the proposed Summit Conference, it should be noted that the only basic points on which there was general acceptance were those concerning economic, social and cultural questions. However, on 15 September, in a formal address to the OAS Council, Foreign Minister Juracy Magalhaes of Brazil, invoked the concept of collective security to assert that the question of the creation of an Inter-American Permanent Force "cannot be indefinitely- postponed", and that the OAS could only be politically efficient as long as it had its own means of action to implement its decisions. The Foreign Minister added that this should be achieved on the basis of the consensus of the OAS Members. 13. Another subject of political controversy, Argentine misgivings on the post- ponement of the Third Special Inter-American Conference where the OAS Charter modifications are to be discussed, has been avoided since it was agreed that the date and place of the Summit Conference would be determined by the Eleventh Meeting of Consultation, "which will take into account the date determined or to be determined for the Third Special Inter-American Conference". B. The proposed Summit Conference 14. The Eleventh Meeting of Consultation of Foreign Ministers has been convoked "by a resolution -2/ adopted by the OAS Council on 19 September, in accordance with Article 39 of the OAS Charter. The Tenth Meeting of Consultation, which dealt with the situation in the Dominican Republic, had been convoked by the Council on 30 April 1965, and is still in existence. The Eleventh Meeting has been convoked "in order to take decisions regarding a meeting of Chiefs of State for the purpose of strengthening the Alliance for Progress and of agreeing upon new measures for hemisphere co-operation to facilitate Latin American economic integration". A "Committee on Preparations" for the Eleventh Meeting of Consultation was established under the provisions of the same CAS Council resolution. 15. It was also provided that "the highest officials of inter-governmental organizations and agencies whose activities are related to the subjects to be discussed" would be invited to give their valuable technical advice,

With­ out this book, Thoreau would certainly be regarded today as simply one Of many minor Transcendentallsts of the mid-nineteenth century» However, Thoreau was also a poet j in fact, poetry was his first love, and through­ out his life he thought of himself as a poet. In spite of this, his poetry was largely ignored for many .years, the assumption being that his „ .... ......................... v.4. output was scanty and that the poems were mère appendages to his prose. In 1943, Carl Bode published the Collected Poems of Henry Thoreau, *every available piece of original verse that Henry Thoreau composed,a volume running to 247 pages. Twenty-one years later, a new enlarged edition was published containing an additional thirteen poems. Walden remains Thoreau’s most important work; no one would deny that his prose is supe­ rior to his poetry. And yet it does seem strange that so little attention has been directed to a sizable body of work by a major American writer.

  • The Institutional Framework of Inter-American Relations
    Wells: The Institutional Framework of Inter-American Relations THE INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK OF INTER- AMERICAN RELATIONS HENRY WELLS* Inter-American relations involve not only numerous bilateral interactions between the individual countries of the Western Hemi- sphere, but also interactions of most of the countries within the re- gional arrangement known as the Inter-American System. The first task of this Article is to explain what the Inter-American System is and how it has evolved. The second is to describe the institutional framework of the system as provided by two of its components: the Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance, commonly known as the Rio Treaty, and the Organization of American States (OAS). Then follows a discussion of recent attempts to change the charac- ter of both the Rio Treaty and the OAS which, though unsuccessful so far, may have jeopardized the future existence of the Inter- American System. This Article concludes with some reflections on the future of United States relations with the other nations within the Hemisphere, particularly the Latin American countries. I. THE INTER-AMERICAN SYSTEM The Inter-American System began to take shape on October 1, 1889. At the invitation of the United States government, represent- atives of all but one of the then-existing eighteen Latin American nations assembled in Washington, D.C., to inaugurate the first In- ternational Conference of American States.'

    SOME THINGS zAmOUT J^EW HAMTSHIT^E OTIS G. HAMMOND Director of the New Hampshire Historical Society SECOND EDITION REVISED NEW HAMPSHIRE HISTORICAL SOCIETY CONCORD, N. H. 1930 V^EW HAM<PSHI%E APT. JOHN MASON was the founder of C New Hampshire. He was a merchant and shipmaster, and became a friend of the Duke of Buckingham, himself a royal favorite, and so he prospered, and received favors, appoint­ ments, and lands from the crown. For several years Capt. Mason was governor of Portsmouth, England, and at his house in that city Bucking­ ham was assassinated in 1628. In 1622 Mason received from the Council for New England a grant of all the land between the Naumkeag and Merrimack Rivers, which he proposed to call Mariana. Later in the same year he and Sir Ferdinando Gorges received a grant of all the land between the Merrimack and Kennebec Rivers, extending 60 miles inland, which they called the Province of Maine. In 1629 Mason alone received a grant of the land between the Merrimack and Piscataqua Rivers, and this he called New Hampshire, his home being in Hampshire, England. The territory east of the Piscataqua was assigned to Gorges, and both grantees entered enthusiastically upon plans for settling their new domains. On Nov. 17, 1629, only ten days after the grant of New Hampshire to Capt. Mason, a SOMK THINGS great tract of land covering practically the same coast limits, but extending inland to what is now Lake Champlain, was granted to Mason and Gorges together, and called Laconia. The reason for this grant is not clear.
