MONTEVIDEO, December l4.-Lead-
ers Of the Pan-American Conference
said today they hoped to adjourn by
December "a after asking tariff re-
ductions, creating an inter-American
financial and economic institution and
sponsoring some plan of peace for the
Chaco
Plans to achieve these goals already
have received much discussion.
Early acceptance Of United States
proposal to reduce trade barriers was
predicted today by many delegates.
Delegates from Argentina, Uruguay,
Mexico, Chile and the United States
reached agreement on adjustments to
the tariff recommendations yesterday.
Peru's objections to some phases of
the proposal to reduce the barriers
through bilateral pacts were expected
to be met and the acceptance by all
an-American nations assured
Plan Economic Congress.
The conference voted to hold an
economic congress of American
nations at Santiago, Chile at which
problems carried over from the cur
rent sessions may be attacked.
No date was set for the congress.
Some delegates favored holding it in
April or May. Others suggested that
1t be held late in 1884.
The text OF the Mexican debt pro-
posalS, referred by the conference to a
subcommittee, would constitute the sole
original agenda at the congress, but ad-
ditions were expected to be made as the
conference decides what economic and
financial questions will be deferred in
the present sessions.
At the same time, unanimous vote
named Lima, Peru as the scene of the
next Pan-American Conference proper.
The conference normally meets every
four years.
Withdrawal Ordered.
1t was authorltatively stated last
night that the United States delegation
to the Pan-American Conference has
been instructed to disassociate itself
from the Inter American Commission
of Women, which is seeking support OF
the conference for treaties equalizing
nationality rights and indorsing civil
and political equality for women.
The instructions do not affect the
vote Of the American delegation on sub
1ects pertaining to women.
Seldom have internal politics SO i'm
pinged upon an international confer
snce as have those of Uruguay upon the
current Pan-American Conference.
Opposition politicians have warned
delegates in formal notices that any
thing the Terra government does IN
the name of Uruguay will be invalid
because President Gabriel Terra, by a
coup last march established an extra
legal government.
Censorship has affected some cable
transmission, local political news vies
with conference proceedings for atten-
ton in the press and Communists pro-
testing the holding of the conference
caused a strike which left the delegates
uewspaperless for day.
Seeks Reform Approval.
Although some of the disturbances
have been sensational, they represent
minoritieS and have attracted little
notice in MonteWdeo.
President Terra, counting upon the
firm support Of business and most
Uruguayan rural population, expects
soon after the conference to obtain
popular approval for constitutional re-
forms which his coup instituted, chiefly
the abolition of the executive council,
which shared his administrative power.
The Communists, who formerly found
Uruguay an open haven, are being
steadily suppressed or deported, but a
vociferouS colony remains in Monte
video, which formerly was headquarters
for South American REORGANIZATION.
While curbing them, Uruguay con-
tinues amicable diplomatic and COM
mer cial relations with the U. S. s. r.
