Washington Dispatch, Dec. 7. A doctrine of Pan-Americanism of full partnership between the na tions of the Western Hemisphere in worwaiairs was proclaimed Dy President Wilson today in his "third annual address to Congress, the theme of which was preparedness by the United States to defen'd not only the Tights of its own independence but the rights of those with whom it has made common cause.
