3.-The republics of the Ameri-
cas-, getting together for the first
time in five years, will convert
heir seventh Pan-American con-
gress here in December into an
economic conference.

AAmerican nations will not try to
make an agreement embracing the
whole hemisphere.

81 republics of the Pan-American
Union will send delegates to Mon
tevideo, as they did to the last
congress in Havana in 1928. In
vitations have been sent to Ell
Salvador, although its government
is not recognized by the United
States or several other American
neighbors, and to. Panama, the
only country which sent no dele
cation to London.
