AMERICAN REPUBLICS
DECLARATION OF SOLIDARITY AGREEMENT AT CONFERENCE LIMA, Dec. 22. (Received Dec. 23, at 10 p.m.) The Pan-American delegates agreed on the draft of the proposed declaration of solidarity of the American republics, ending the long-drawn American-Argentina dispute over the wording of such declaration. It is an Argentina victory since it contains nothing directly critical to totalitarian States. On the contrary, the proposal which the United States delegation circulated was unmistakably aimed at dictatorships, causing Argentina to reject it, and the present draft's mild form represents a concession to the Argentine, yet it carries out the basic United States objectives. The text, first of all, reaffirms Continental solidarity; secondy, it reaffirms the republic's decision to maintain and defend their principles and absolute sovereignty against all foreign intervention or activity; thirdly, it proclaims common interest in and a determination to make effective their solidarity by consultative procedure if the peace, security, and territorial integrity of any of the republics is threatened.
