Subcommittee work went forward at the Pan-American Conference today on plans for limiting the activities of foreign groups in America. Three proposals are now before the Congress, encompassing the views of the United States, Argentina and Brazil.
The United States suggested that the Congress make a general declaration of policy favoring concerted action against alien political activities in any of the American republics. The Argentine plan, although apparently paralleling Washington’s, would call on each country individually to act against the menace of foreign political agitation. The Brazilian proposal was based on a general declaration that foreign agitators cannot be granted the same rights extended to native minorities and was also believed to reaffirm the principles of religious liberty and racial equality.
