Air Mail) – A resolution condemning the Nazi massacres of Jews in Europe was passed by Parliament here on December 22, after being introduced jointly by fourteen deputies. Only one deputy, S. Chaves, voted against the resolution, declaring that “Peru must remain neutral in all matters which do not concern our land directly.

“The Chamber of Deputies,” the resolution reads, “expresses its protest against the crimes of the Nazi regime which is brutally slaughtering defenseless people in Europe with a view to annihilating the Jewish race. The Chamber joins the Allied Nations in all measures they may decide to take to punish those guilty of this new crime against humanity.”
