Excerpt from Modernizing the Monroe Doctrine BiSLDEVX in Pan-Amencanism and its great future because it is at the same time the most altruistic and the most practical foreign policy to which any country has ever devoted itself. It honorably reconciles the two seemingly irreconcilable shibboleths, Safety First and America First, because it satisGes both our patriotism and our desire for security.

It provides a definite foreign polipy upon which the most practical of men may consbtently unite with extreme idealists. It is an attempt to a semble the finest traits of twenty-one republics so as to employ them in combination for the common good of all, meanwhile disregarding their shortcomings: this mixture of appreciation and toleration will surely be as effective when applied in the family of nations as it has proved in many a family of individuals. Once this attitude of mind is gained, it matters little how much the republics concerned differ in racial traits.
