At HAVANA
Rv Internatlonal Nevva serv,ee


VAN A, Feb. 13.--With the
final steps in the reorganization Of
the Pan-American Union due to be
taken today by the sixth Pan
American conference, wide open
split between the Argentine govern
ment and DIR. Honorio Pueyrredon,
chief of the Argentine delegation,
doomed as the sensation Of the con-
ference.
The split was forecast when it
became known that the home gov
eminent had instructed the Argen-
tine delegation to accept the project
for the reorganization of the Union
without insisting on the declaration
against economic barriers
DIR. Pueyrredon, Argentine Am
bassador at Washington, has been
firmly In favor Of a declaration
against economic barriers from
the beginning OF the conferences
deliberations. After the news from
Buenes Aires, 1t was reported that
DIR. Pueyrredon would decline to
affix his signature to the Union
project unless his declaration was
contained.
The Argentine Ambassador stand
was authoritatively declared to be
based on his conviction that from
the standpoint of the Argentine
people, such a declaration is essen.
tial for the cause OF Pan-American-
ism. On the other hand, from the
standpoint of the United States, the
declaration would be regarded as
obvious criticism OF the American
tariff policy, which is viewed AZ
purely a domestic issue.
DIR. PueyrredoHl's reported deter
mination to stand pat puts the Issue
up to the Argentine government,
which can either attempt to force
his hand or watt and declare its
official acceptance of the confer
ence project after general approval
il given here.
Friends Of the Union here de-,
clared the situation might even in
volve the question OF Argentine's
membership in the Pan-American
Union.

step or two. Peters eyes began to open

where she was. Peters eyes closed
again. This time they didn't open for
some time. when they did he was
alone. 1t was Just dusk. Peter grunted
disgustingly and then decided that II
he couldn't have Mrs. Peters company,
he would go over to the Green Forest.
So he slipped out of one of his private

Plenty of Bloodshed.

One murder once was thought enough
for any Sherlock tale: one homicide
was just the stuff to make the reader
pale; In Chapter the dead mans form
was found upon the floor, and while the
clues were fresh and warm the sleuths
took Up the Spoor. Some critics thought
nilder crime than murder might be
used: this plan was tried, time after
time, and no one seemed enthused. A
tale seemed fat and stale and dun, 1t
made the reader yawn, unless a corpse,
n Chapter ], was found upon the lawn.
The author who was wise and smart
pursued the murder trails, but did not
rEnd the readers heart with sickenira
