LIMA CREATED
MACHINERY TO
BATTLE NAzIS
Solidarity Plank Held
An Effective Check

Major machinery has bee n
created at Lima. washington dip
lomatic circles we're convinced, as
the Pan.American Conf feEe n e
drew to a close today, to block ef'
fectively further penetration Of
the Western Hemisphere by Nazi
and Fascist totalitarian ideologles.
The most important single in
strument in this direction, these
experts declared, was unanimous
adoption Of the declaration OF con-
tinental solidarity.
BY this declaration the Amer1-
can republics pledged themselves
to defense against all foreign in
tervention or activities"
SPECIFIC PLEDGES
The document specifically pro
vides:
ONE-The American republics re-
affirmed their continental soil
darity.
TWO-They reaffirmed their de-
termination to MAINTAIN the
principle of peace and independ-
ence
THREE-If the peace, security or
territorial integrity OF any OF the
American republics is threatened
they proclaim their common
concerns and determination to
make effective their solidarity
coordinating defense under "tf1e
procedure of consultation"
The Declaration of Lima. as the
defense instrument is called, was
particularly pleasing to the United
States in view of President RooSe-
velt's recent strong reasSertion OF
the Monroe Doctrine, extending
its effect to include Canada, as
well as Central and South America
and the West Indies.
COULD HAVE GONE FURTHER
The declaration could have gone
further, diplomatic observers said.
The United States wanted to set
UP q permanent court Of arbitra-
ton to be called into session at
any time to deal with mutual prob
lens of defense but, otherwise, it
was hailed as achieving much in
blocking the efforts of European
dictator nations to penetrate into
the Western Hemisphere.
Senator William E. Borah (R.) !,
Idaho. ranking Republican mem.
Ler of the Senate Foreign Rela-
lions Committee, said:
1.-THE Lima declaration foc
solidarity is step in the right
direction.
"Tkese 81 nations have their
own national conscience and ma
tionai spirit We must travel
with them. not undertake to
lead them
'We perhaps expected more
from the conference than we had
the right 20 expect and, there
fore, we should be contented with
the results,
