Buenos Aires, Nov. 19. —Discussing the possibility of the non-ratl-fleaiion of the United States senate of the German peace treaty in its original form, the Nacion today says that this is a matter of great gravity for the future relations of the United Stotes and the Latin American countries which, with the single exception of Mexico, are either members of or have given their adherence to the league of nations. The Nacion makes the point that in ths event of failure by thd United States to ratify the treaty in original form the Latin American countries would be forced to regard the United States as a factor in a certain manner foreign to the development of their peaceful policy.” , Dwelling on the Monroe doctrine reservation the Nacion says it is difficult to harmonize the opposition of the Republican senators to the organization of the league of nations In its present form with ithelr “desire for the United States to constitute a block with the Latin American republics. ' “There is in attitude of the United States senators opposing the league In its present form,” adds the newspaper, “a contradiction not easily explained.
