Welles Warns Against
Interference in Americas
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 (U. P.).~— Foreign nations were warned today by Assistant *Secretary of State Sumner Welles that unwarranted interference in the affairs of American republics would be .countered with “appropriate, action.” Speaking at the inauguration of a new Inter-American Center - at George Washington University last night, Mr. Welles deplored efforts of American and foreign propagandists to misrepresent politial tendencies in the Western ‘Hemisphere. His remarks were aimed primarily at ‘those who, he said, take it’ upon themselves to determine “for our 1 American neighbors just how ‘their strictly-private affairs should. be|~ conducted,” whereas one - of the
salient principles; of the Adminis-| tration’s good-neighbor policy “is‘to}
refraif ‘from minding ‘your neigh4 bor’s Hasiness for him.”
