HAVANA. FEBRUARY lU.-A ucauloch
which resulted from the failure yester-
day of a subcommittee of the commit
tee on Pan-American Union affairs to
agree on the terms of the preamble OF
the proposed Pan-American Union con-
yention was temporarily broken today.
This came about when the commit
tee took up for discussion the first ac-
tual articles of the proposed convention
leaving discussion of the preamble,
about which controversy had centereo,
for later decision. This preamble oealt
with the contention of DR.. Honorio
Pueyrredon, head of the Argentine dele
cation. that Pan-Americanism should
work toward the abolition OF excessive
tariff barriers in inter-American trade.
Pueyrredon Agrees.
Decision to leave discussion OF the
preamble for the last was reacneo upon
the suggestion of Jacobo Varela, oru-
guayan delegate. after almost Two
hours discussion. DR.. Pueyrreoon
arreed to the procedure, asserting
"Without abandoning my position or
altering my principles, am ready 10
