Trade follows the flag in Americas crisis says Canadian critic
A Canadian Magazine essay by George Tate Blackstock QC argues the United States dominates South American affairs after the Venezuela arbitration episode.

It contrasts British misreadings of American aims with the new reality of hemispheric power.
