Nazis Challenge Monroe Doctrine Developments
Washington July 4 An assertion that Germany is laying the foundation for a challenge to the Monroe Doctrine came today from Senator Pittman and other senators after Hull declared the United States would uphold the policy. The note from Germany denying America’s interpretation prompted a coordinated administration push to reassure American republics ahead of the Havana Pan American conference. Hull stressed the policy, reciprocal trade, and opposition to totalitarian methods while Pittman and Vandenberg echoed support but warned against any insinuations of U.S. meddling in Europe. The German note replied to the June 18 statement that the U.S. would not recognize transfers of hemisphere territory.
