Lessons Learned from Europe

'A lesson from Europe has apparently inspired at least two proposals which have been submitted to the Conference.

One proposal, sponsored by Brazi aims at refusing to grant any particular minority privileges to alien minorities in Latin America.

The other proposal, submitted by Mexico, seeks a declaration against wartime bombardments, with the object of protecting women and children from suffering.

All committees of the Conference are working at top speed to reach a decision on as many problems as possible, in anticipation of adjournment before Christmas.

'A proposal by the Argentine delegation, regarding the political a tivities of foreigners in Latin American countries, will be ce-ordinated with a similar proposal by Uruguay. The proposal, thus drafted, will forbid all foreigners to participate in any activity other than that of the country in which they reside—Reuter.
