CARTEL APPROVED

(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.)

HAVANA, July 30.

The plenary session of the ParrAmerican Conference unanimously approved the convention providing collective pan-American trusteeship over the New World possessions of conquered European nations, in effect, implementing the Monroe Doctrine.

It also appioved an "Act of Havana" providing for the interim application of the same principles till the convention is ratified.

The session adopted the economic resolution as the first step in President Roosevelt's cartel plan,- which must be implemented by legislation in the affected nations. It also adopted the United States "fifth column" proposal, after which it adjourned.

There remains only the open plenary session tomorrow for the signature of accords and the adoption of the final Acts, with speeches outlining the achievements.

Argentina filed a reservation to the colonies declaration, namely, that Malyinas (Falkland Islands) and other regions are Argentina's and not the colony or possession of a European nation and, therefore, not affected by the declaration.
