He has served as ambassador plenipotentiary from : Panama to England and France, and as a delegate to the League of Nations. He is a member of the French legion of honor, an international honorary group.
UNITES AMERICAS
Monroeism, according to Dr. Mendez, has become a continental doctrine, uniting North and South America in a front against totali-tarism which has tried continually to gain a foothold in the western hemisphere. The western countries have joined with those nations of Europe which still maintain a democracy against the totalitarian countries that use Monroeis-n as an excuse to destroy the liberties of other countries.
The speaker has noted the Nazi and Fascist influence in Latin America during his travels through the countries and the effect that it has had on the people there. He will discuss this situation briefly during the course of his lecture.
WILL TRACE MONROEISM
Professor Mendez will also trace the development of Monroeism In the minds of the leaders of the Latin American countries, which caused it to change from a protective pol-j icy of the United States, to its present status.
The speaker will explain the situation in which the South American countries find themselves amidst the present world conflict. Much trading is done with the European countries and the South Americas like to deal with them, but at the present time, there is a very strained situation existing, according to Mendez.

Italo-German Throst Into Balkans Feared by Eastern Europe
By United Press
London was under its most violent and spectacular aerial attack of the 38-day German siege last night and early today while, 2000 miles away at the other side of Europe, Adolf Hitler moved rapidly to bring the Balkans into his grip.
Swarming Nazi raiders heaped death and destruction upon London and other parts of the British Isles in intensified blows such as undoubtedly would be unleashed if Hitler and Mussolini were about to embark upon a blitzkrieg in the Balkans.
Not only London but Berlin appeared to have been under a siege of bombs during the night, the Germans reporting what appeared to have been a brief air raid alarm in their capital although the newly-tightened Nazi censorship choked off details.
MORAL SUPPORT
Russia remained — as usual in international crises — the big red question mark of the spreading menace of war in the Balkans and threats of a double-barreled Italian and German drive on both rims of the Mediterranean into Turkey and the oil fields of Iraq.
Anxious regarding Germany's military moves in Rumania and threatened penetration into Bulgaria and Jugoslavia, the Soviets were reported in Bucharest Monday night to have promised at least moral support to worried Turkey. “NEW ORDER”
Turkey fears that she is the target of the Italo-German moves in the Balkans, that her fortified Dardanelles straits may be Hitler's ambition. But she believes hopefully that Jo^ef Stalin would never let an outside power control the Dardanelles and entrance to the Black sea.
From Belgrade it was reported that Hitler already is spreading out beyond Rumania and has served demands on Jugoslavia to submit to an Axis-dictated role in the “New European Order.” These demands, which would make Jugoslavia a granary for the German war machine and cripple industrial development, were described in some Jugoslav quarters as so far-reaching as to strip the nation of its economic sovereignty.
REDS MOBILIZE
At least 50.000 German troops and air force men were* on Rumanian soil today. They were setting up anti-aircraft guns along Rumania’s new frontier with Russia. beyond which formidable Russian armed forces are being concentrated.
London heard neutral reports that Adolf Hitler had advised the Rumanian government to go easy and not break off diplomatic relations with Britain, supposedly in order" not to antagonize Russia and in fear of possible British bombing attacks on the Rumanian oil fields.
On the North African front the Itlaians admitted bombardments by British warships of Italy's fortified Dodecanese islands near the Turkish coast and Italian positions in North Africa.
The Germans likewise admitted that German shock troops being used as a “guinea-pig corps” are fighting with the Italians in Marshal Rodolfo Graziani’s drive across Egypt toward the Suez.
