A guarantee of non-discrimination toward its inhabitants as a prerequisite for any nation’s admission to an international security organization was urged today by Peruvian Ambassador Pedro C. Beltran, at a luncheon in the Savoy-Plaza Hotel arranged by the World Jewish Congress.
Recalling that it was his country which took the lead among South American countries in breaking with the Axis powers right after Pearl Harbor, the Ambassador declared. “No nation should be admitted to any kind of world security organization unless it is ready to guarantee to its inhabitants absolute equality before the law and equal opportunity to all without any sort of discrimination.”
