In undertaking a study in inter-American Relations it is advisable to indicate, by way of introduction, something of the perspective assumed. In tracing recent developments in the movement of the American nations toward an attitude of cooperation in solving problems relating to the welfare of the Western Hemisphere, a strictly objective viewpoint is attempted. It is realized however, that there are limitations on objectivity in any treatment of international relations. In the present case objectivity is conditioned somewhat by the fact that the writer is a citizen of the United States. A second limitation is imposed by the fact that a considerable portion of the material used in working out the study is derived from secondary sources. And finally, mention should be made of the fact that by far the majority of secondary sources reflect the attitude and interpretation of citizens of the United States. |
