GUATEMALAN MOVE
POSSESSIONS IN AMERICA
BOGOTA (Colombia), March 31
The defputyrleader of the Guatemalan delegation to the Pan-American Conference tat Bogota (Mr Jorge Gai - - cia Granados) said to-day that Guatemala would ask the conference to create a special commission to investigate “practical means of ending European colonial rule in the Western Hemisphere.” This proposal is in addition to a resolution already on the conference agenda, condemning the existence of the European colonies as “contrary to American principles and a danger to peace and security.” Mr Granados said that the earlier resolution would do little more than place the various American republics’ views, on record. The new proposal would take the colonial problem one step further. The Guatemalan delegation considered that all the Latin American countries directly interested ini the problem, arid possibly some others,.should form the proposed commission.
It is considered certain that the United States will strongly oppose the latest Guatemalan move.
