ARGENTINA’S POLICY

CONFERENCE SUPPORTED NEW YORK, November 2. The “New York Times’s” Washington correspondent says: The governing board of the Pan-American Unions has voted unanimously to transmit to the twenty other Governments for study and recommendation the request which has been made by the Government of Argentina for a conference with the American Foreign Ministers as soon as possible because of the situation facing American nations as the result of the attitude assumed by some Governments regarding Argentina.' The correspondent adds: Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela are reported to favour the idea of such a conference. However, a conference of the Foreign Ministers usually is called by a unanimous vote, so that there is no definite indication of the prospect of a meeting available until all of the countries nave voted. The’ ‘New York Times’s” Buenos Aires correspondent states: The PanAmerican Board’s action has been received with unconcealed pleasure in official Argentine circles. It is felt that the first hurdle to Argentina’s plan has successfully been overcome.
