The abolition of racial discrimination in the American republics was urged in a resolution adopted yesterday by the Inter-American Organization Committee of the Chapublic Conference.
The resolution, which was introduced by the delegation from Haiti, and modified by the United States, Colombian and Brazilian delegations, recommended reaffirmation of the “principles recognized by all the American Governments of equality of rights and opportunities for all men, regardless of race and religion.” It urged that the Governments of the nations represented at the conference “prevent with all the means in their power all that may provoke discrimination among individuals because of racial and religious reasons.”
