Cordell Hull And The Good Neighbor Policy, Mackey Wilbur Hill

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

It is the purpose of this study to trace in part Hull's role as implementer of the Good Neighbor policy particularly in the Western Hemisphere. Hull was an internationalist. His ultimate goal was to lead the way to a better world order that is built upon cooperation and mutual respect. This was the original meaning of the Good Neighbor policy as stated in Mr. Roosevelt's first inaugural address. It was the mood of good will and cooperation that was to characterize America's foreign relations. However, if nations outside of this hemisphere were to take America seriously and follow her example, …

Promissory Notes In The Legislations Of The Americas, Juan Octavio Díaz Lewis

Michigan Law Review

It has rightly been said that the promissory note is the Cinderella of negotiable paper. It is indeed strange that this instrument, widely used in most countries, is accorded only a few words in the legal textbooks and a few sections in the respective statutes. The purpose of the present study is not to rescue promissory notes from their present position of obscurity, but rather to present a unified classification of the specific provisions relating thereto, which are in force at the present time in the legislations of the American continent.

Acceptance By Intervention In Bills Of Exchange, Salvador Ltriago

Michigan Law Review

Intervention is an act whereby a person becomes a party to a negotiable instrument, whether by accepting the bill or by paying the sum indicated thereon, in order to relieve one of the obligors on the bill from the action of recourse that the holder could assert against him in consequence of default of acceptance or payment by the drawee.

The complexity of the material to be discussed renders it necessary, in order to clarify the development of the exposition, for us to advance several concepts, which will later be considered more fully at the proper places.

Capacity Under The Negotiable Instruments Laws Of The Americas: A Comparative Study, Luis M. Ramirez B.

Michigan Law Review

Closely related to the legal rules that regulate the different aspects and effects of endorsement is the question of capacity to endorse bills of exchange. This forms part of negotiatory capacity in general, which, in a broad sense, may be defined as the faculty of a person to acquire rights and to assume obligations on negotiable instruments.

Research In Inter-American Law At The University Of Michigan, Hessel E. Yntema

Michigan Law Review

In the Americas, the historic trade routes have run east and west, more than north and south. Geographic necessity has decreed that, subject to possible reorientation with the future development of aviation, the dominant factor influencing the course of commerce with this hemisphere should be the open sea. Westward across the Atlantic, came the explorers, the conquistadors, the pioneers, succeeded by wave after wave of immigration to the New World, seaborne on argosies that, laden with the fabulous spoils and profits of empire, returned to the homelands the tribute of the New to the Old World. Achievement in the Nineteenth …

Comparative Research And Unification Of Law, Hessel E. Yntema

Michigan Law Review

The current interest in international unification of law as a major objective of comparative legal research is significant testimony, in an era of accentuated nationalism, to the increasing solidarity of the modern world. In the development of this interest, Latin America has played a pioneer role. As early as 1826, the celebrated Congress convened at Panama envisaged in its deliberations what one of its members termed a "System of Public Law" for the Americas. The Congress of Montevideo of 1888-1889, anticipated by the Lima Congress of Jurists of 1878, produced the first substantial and successful codification of private international law, …

Pan American Solidarity, 1932-1940., Morton M. Grodzins

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

On the first day of his first administration, President Franklin Roosevelt announced: In the field of world policy, I would dedicate this nation to the policy of the Good Neighbor -- the neighbor who resolutely respects himself and, because he does so, respects the rights of others -- the neighbor who respects his obligations and respects the sanctity of his agreements in and with a world of neighbors. Although Roosevelt's verbal touch was needed to give this foreign policy a name, definite changes in the Latin American policy of the United States had already appeared during the preceding Hoover administration. …

An Historical Estimate Of The Pan-American Conference Of The Nineteenth Century, Frank S. Popplewell

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

As the title of this thesis will indicate, the writer has attempted to give an estimate of the historical importance of the Pan-American Conference in the nineteenth century. While many writers do not consider the Panama Congress of 1826 as a Pan-American assembly, it is considered so in this thesis for two reasons: first, because it was from this movement that the fundamental idea of the Pan American movement began, and second, because, while the United States was not actually represented, our delegates were commissioned and failed to attend only because of impossible conditions of travel.
