The impasse which had threatened the success of the Pan-American conference was broken tonight after a committee of nine delegation heads had drafted a new compromise resolution based on further United States concessions to Argentina on the question of inter-American solidarity. Argentina’s demands that the solidarity declaration by the 21 new world republics carry no implication of military alliance were reported accepted by Secretary of State Cordell Hull and written into the agreement.
Authoritative sources revealed that the new conciliation measure was based on “a minimum of cooperation,” indicating that the principle of periodic consultation among the nations of America, championed by the United States, had been entirely abandoned.
The committee on intellectual cooperation, after discussing Cuba’s resolution condemning religious and racial persecutions, appointed Benjamin Cohen, a member of the Chilean delegation, to prepare a new draft, taking into consideration the objections advanced by Argentina and Brazil.
