Professor Dietzel Predicts U.S. Downfall
PROF. HEINRICH DIETZEL, of the University of Bonn, Germany, has written an article for The Nation, of Berlin, declaring that “it will be impossible for the United States to induce the South American states to co-operate economically against Europe.” The writer contends that “Brazil, Argentine, Chile, and the other governments of South America are in greater need of friendly relations with Europe than with the United States.” He alleges that “American agricultural exports are already threatened by the increasing exports of Argentina,” and he sees in the enormous increase of American manufactured exports a factor steadily “undermining American protectionism.” As a result of all this, Professor Dietzel predicts “the downfall of the United States.”
