LATIN AMERICA.
the recent revolutions. ATTITUDE OF THE STATES. NEW YORK. Feb. 6. The Secretary of State, Mr. H. L. Stimson. in an address ostensibly answering critics who allege that British diplomacy has been more successful than American in the situations arising from the seven Latin American revolutions in the past two years, said: " The general foreign policy of the United States duimg the past century toward the republics of Latin America has been characterised by a regard for their rights as independent nations which, when compared with current international morality in other hemispheres, has been as unusual as it has been praiseworthy."
Mr. Stimson outlined the limitations put by .the United States on the recognition of revolutionary Governments since 1923, and said this had caused many cases of even successful revolutionaries to resign, owing to their inability to borrow funds, thus acting as a deterrent in other cases where revolutions were planned. lie said the recent revolutions were clue to the widespread economic depression with consequent unemployment, instability and unrest.
