The full text of the resolution against racial and religious discrimination adopted by the Inter-American Conference on problems of War and Peace which ended yesterday, was made public here last night. It reads:
“The Inter-American Conference resolves; 1. To affirm the principle recognized by all the American States of equality of rights and opportunities for all men regardless of race and religion; 2. To recommend to the Governments of the American Republics that, without prejudicing the freedom of the spoken or written word, they make in their respective countries every effort to prevent all acts which tend to provoke discrimination between individuals by reason of their race or religion.”
The conference also adopted a resolution recommending that “the international American institutes for the protection of children give special attention to the manner in which the American republics may help in taking care and providing opportunities for the European children who are homeless.”
