HGpuDfiCdn A. P. Leased Wirel WASHINGTON. Jan. 23.-Recom- mendation that proposed relief for Flu rope from the United States be fur nished through the medium of loans to the countries of South and Central America. the proceeds of which would be used to pay the debts of those countries to Europe in the form of foodstuffs and other necessaries, was considered today by many delegates to the second Pan-American financial congress as the outstanding develop ment of the congress, which closed it's sessions today.
 The European relief recommenda- ton. presented to the congress by Dr. Jose Luis Tejadas, was embodied in a series of IS resolutions setting forth the conclusions reached at the weeks meeting Dr. TejadaS and other dele gates pointed out that. as Europe act ed as the financfer of Latin America before the war. many of the southern republics were indebted to many Eu- ropean nations needing relief. and were in a position to pay those debts with the needed commodities. The United States. it was asserted. would confer doublt benefit by allowing the Latin American countries to act as the mid dlemen' in proposed relief measures. The existing exchange rates would work to the advantage of all concerned, Dr. Tejadas said, and a least one bil- lion dollars could be made immediately available to Europe through the plan.
 The congress, at its closing session, heard addresses by w P Harding, and by Dr. Marinas Sobral of the Mex lean delegation.
