Critics Claim Latins Running Organization of American States
(Editor'! Note: Th 21-ni
lion Organliation ol Ameri
can States (OAS), in which
the United Slates U a key
member and the chief finan
cial angel, was let up to keep
the peace in the western
hemisphere. Ha it done thil
effectively? Or hat it, as
many opponents charge, be
come a bumbling, haphazard,
misdirected operation? An ex
pert on Latin American af
fairs takes the reader behind
the OAS scene in the follow
ing dispatch.)
By ARNALDO OTERO -United
Press International
Washington - (UPD - Bolivia
has done what critics of the
Organization of American
States (OAS) have urged the
United States to do-abandon
the western hemisphere peace
keeping organization.
. Bolivia's action, whether
ill-advised or not, underscores
the dissatisfaction of many
high officials - here and in
Latin America-with the way
the world's oldest peace ma
chinery is being managed.
The 21-nation OAS - Cuba,
although ousted, still belongs
-is lor all practical purposes
a Latin American agency, run
by Latins dealing with Latin
American problems. This is
so in practice if not in intent.
The first Secretary General,
ex-Colombian President . Al
berto Lleras Camargo, once
said that the organization was
what its member governments
want it to be. And that is the
way it is today.
It Is no secret that the
Legal Aspects of
Space Discussed
At World Parley
Athens, Greece-flffD w The
world conference on world
peace through law Tuesday
discussed legal aspects of out
er space. .
The delegates from more
than 100 countries attending
the meeting, the first such
world conference of lawyers
aimed at promoting peace,
centered their discussion' on
the new legal problems pqsed
by space exploration.
At the inaugural session,
Earl warren, U. S. Chief Jus.
tice, called for an internation
al court with the means of en
forcing judgments.
He said, "When we consid
er the dangerous of interna
tlonal friction today, it is
even more Important for us to
devote our great effort to
ward having a body of inter
national law than it is to make
Improvements in our domes
tic law, important as some
of those changes may be . . .
Not Recognised
"But, not all people have
yet recognized the absolute
necessity for having a court
of international law with
Jurisdiction to decide current
problems and with the means
of enforcing judgments."
Warren also said lwayers
"should be the first to agree
that the responsibility is
theirs to initiate a movement
to have the problems of na
tions solved by means other
than war."
He devoted much of his
speech to the origin of law,
and said "although thousands
of years have elapsed, we have
not defined and perfected in
ternational law as we have
domestic law in our respec
tive countries."
United States and the 19
Latin American republics that
actively belong to the OAS,
have turned it into a vacillat
ing, sometimes misunderstood,
much maligned and misdirect
ed institution.
Unlike Bolivia, the U. S.
government has no Intention
of quitting. This, at least, is
the present official thinking.
This is so although most of
the crucial U. S. problems
with the Latin American gov
ernments are carried out on
a bilateral basis and not
through the OAS.
Emergency problems and
programs with countries from
Mexico to Argentina can be
dealt with more quickly
through the sluggish U. S.
bureaucracy than through the
OAS. For example, the United
States has never ventilated in
the OAS its touchy border
problems with Mexico. Nor
its vital rescue aid packages to
the shaky economics of Brazil
and Argentina.
Despite Bolivia's claim that
the OAS was "too incompe.
tent" to settle its trivial bor
der river dispute with Chile-
the reason why Bolivia re.
signed-the peace making ma
chinery of the organization is
its key asset.
Solve Disputes
Through its s 1 o w-moving
cautious and sharply divided
permanent council, the mem.
ber nations have successfully
solved minor but highly emo
tional disputes between mem
ber governments.
The OAS also played a key
role in bringing about a peace
ful and orderly transition
from dictatorship to democra
cy in the Dominican Republic
after more than 30 years of
bloody tyranny under Dic
tator Rafael L. Trujillo who
was assassinated two years
ago.
And In October, 1962, the
United. States won a major
victory for the hemisphere
within the OAS when it re
c e i v e d the organization's
unanimous and speedy sup
port to force Russia to pull its
nuclear missiles out of Cuba.
It is this type of outstand
ing performance by an un
usually clumsy organization
that obscures the legitimate
complaints.
The OAS governments
could probably profit by con
fronting directly public issues
of Importance being poorly
handled through the OAS.
The present Secretary Gen
eral. Jose A. Mora, a former
Uruguayan ambassador to the
OAS, has been the target of
unrestrained and sometimes
unfair criticism.
Week Office
For all practical matters, It
is agreed that Mora's is a
weak office.
In a recent book on the
OAS, former U. S. Ambas
sador to the OAS John Drier,
said of Mora s post.
"Despite their enthusiasm
for the regional concept, the
American republics have ac
tually approached the delega
tion of power to the regional
organization with great reserve."
In undiplomatic language,
that means the secretary gen
eral's office has been made a
figurehead. Mora, in fact,
often lacks powers to deal ef
fectively with basic admin
istrative reforms.
At the Pan American union
and In far-flung and disjoint
ed regional offices and agen
cies, work nearly 800 inter
national employees. Only a
few compote for their Jobs
Not a few top-level officials
are hired without the recom
mendations of one or more
diplomats.
Today it costs the U. S. gov
ernment about $2 million a
year to belong to the OAS. It
costs a small country like
Bolivia $44,700. But Bolivia's
vote is equal In all matters.
The OAS total budget is $13
million.
Called Headiest
The U. S. delegation, head
ed by former New Orleans
Mayor deLesseps Morrison - a
political appointee of Presi
dent Kennedy - was called
"headless" by Mexican Am
bassador Vicente Sanchez
Gavita during heated debate.
No one argued with the
Mexican's assessment - either
in or out of the council-al-though
the diplomat was
chided for having been so un
diplomatic in his criticism of
the U. S.. delegation.
Morrison has made by far
more speeches throughout the
country and in Latin America
than in the OAS chambers at
the Pan American Union.
This year, he has showed up
at five of the some 15 ses
sions held so far. The rest of
the time the delegation has
been headed by his alternate,
Ward Allen, an expert on in
ternational organizations.
Like Morrison, many am
bassadors by necessity devote
only cursory attention to OAS
matters. The ambassador from
Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guate
mala, El Salvador, Honduras,
Panama, Venezuela and Para
guay also represent their gov
ernments at the White House.
President Kennedy himself
despite the widely-acknowl
edged fact that he has con
tributed more to inter-American
relations than any previ
ous chief executive - has ne
glected U.S. participation in
the OAS.
Complicate Action
The U.S. delegation, in fact,
has contributed to what Am
bassador Drier called "a
plethora of organs, agencies
and instrumentalities ... (a)
maze of organs which absorb
incredible amounts of time,
hum (i n energy and material
resources, and yet often com
plicate and delay the taking
of decisions and action."
This is not the doing of
Mora and his top officials. It
Is done by free-wheeling dip
lomats and U.S. officials well
aware of Mora's weak posi
tion. During his seven-year term
of office - he still can serve
until 1968 - Mora has had
about seven press officers and
countless changes In top-level
personnel, brought about
sometime by "palace in
trigues," as some ambassa
dors put it.
At the Pan American Un
ion, public information mat
ters are often left to the
whims of diplomats. Well-intentioned
as some are, they
do not begin to understand
the requirements of the mass
communications media.
This type of procedure is
common in the halls of the
Pan American Union which
are beautifully decorated with
chandeliers designed by New
York's Tiffany and fountains
and emblems made in Mexico
and other countries.
Power Blocs
Unlike the chairs of the old
council room which were
carved out of a single ma
hogany tree In the Dominican
republic, the OAS is made of
a myriad of power blocs that
often paralyze Us operations.
And unlike other families,
this family of nations is re
luctant to discuss family rela
tions with frankness. This is

the case with the secretary
general's present 10-year term
of office. Most experts think
it should be shortened to five
years. But no one will pro
pose it lest it be considered
criticism on the incumbent.
Yet it is conceded that the
lack of open discussion of
matters that should be in the
public domain has hurt the
organization. .
Drier said that if the OAS
is going to be strengthened,
"it will demand a substantial
increase in public confidence
in the organization and its
purposes." he added:
"The creation of this great
er confidence must begin with
the United States, for it has
in large measure been a fear
of the United Stat is . . . that
has restrained the Latin
American countries in grant
ing authority to the organiza
tion. Action Wanted
"It is now for the Latin
American countries to trans
late their repeated words into
deeds, to take the initiative
in affecting the needed
changes they so often demand
in their institutions, and to
remove obstacles which ob
struct progress toward their
own clearly stated goals."
The organization, aside
from all its other problems,
is nearly broke. At the end of
1962, it did not have enough
money to pay its debts. And
today it is dipping into out
side resources to run its pro
grams because member-governments
won't pay their
dues.
Experts agree unanimously
that the organization is capa
ble of great peace-making ef
forts. It also is doing distin
euished work in the fields
of art and culture, though on
a small scale.
But in the final assessment,
no well-intentioned observer
can escape the prophetic
words of the organization's
first secretary general-Lleras
Camargo - when he said:
"It (the OAS) is what the
member governments want it
to be, nothing else. The gov
ernments are the organiza
tion ... if our conduct is
bad, we have nobody to blame
but ourselves.'

Gen. Washington's Highlands Headquarters Being Restored
By
FREDERICK M. WINSHIP
New Windsor. N. Y. - (UPI) -American
independence was
declared in Philadelphia on
July 4, 1776, but it was in this
Continental Army encamp
ment - now under restoration
- that Gen. George Washing
ton stood fast against making
the new nation a monarchy.
Washington and the bulk of
his army camped at the New
Windsor cantonment, in the
Hudson Highlands near West
Point, for eight months in
1782-83 while the Treaty of
Paris was being written and
the British continued to oc
cupy New York. Cornwallis
had surrendered In 1781 and
Washington's men were chaf
ing to get back to their farms
and businesses, but not with
out some pay in their pockets.
Dissatisfaction with the
near - bankrupt Continental
Congress, sitting in Philadel
phia, was rampant, especially
among Washington's officers.
They complained of pay ar
rears, unsettled food and
clothing accounts and failure
of the Congress to grant them
promised life pensions at half
pay. This led to the suggestion
that Washington take over by
assuming the crown with the
aid of his army.
the suggestion, expressed in
a letter from Col. Lewis Nic
ola, with annoyance and
scorn, but soon he was faced
with a more serious rebellion
against the Congress led by
Maj. John Armstrong. The
major circulated anonymous
broadsides at the cantonment,
urging the officers to openly
defy Congress. Washington
countered by calling a griev
ance meeting on March 15,
1783.
At the meeting, the father
of his country shamed the reb
els by pleading for the same
loyalty and patience with
their government that he had
Washington brushed aside given his officers during the

Jehovah Leader
Warns Teen-Agers
Milwaukee, Wis. - (UPD - The
president of Jehovah's Wit
nesses warned teen-age mem
bers of the sect at the group's
annual convention not to
"play around with the op
posite sex."
"You say you are dedicated
to God," said Nathan H.
Knorr, Brooklyn, N.Y., "well,
prove It."
Knorr, who also Is president
of the Watchtower Society,
told the more than 35,000
members attending the third
day of the eight-day conven
tion that mankind's immoral
ity today Is comparable to
that of the time of Noah.
Modern society teaches that
to lie, cheat and loaf is cor
rect "because everybody does
it," said Knorr.
"What are you teen-agers
doing in high school?," Knorr
asked the huge crowd of
adults, teen agers and chil
dren. "Do you think it is
proper to pet and play around
with the opposite sex? Do you
think that because your par
ents are Jehovah's Witnesses
that you have a certain license
to become immoral?"
