LIMA, Dec. 3l.-What were the
real achievements of the eighth Pan.
American Conference and what
concrete results will come out Of the
maze of resolutions and declarations
pushed through during the 10 days
OF the conference? 49,.
These were questions which states
men from the 81 American repub-
lies were asking themselves today
as they moved homeward to face
the new year.
And when they find the answer,
they probably will conclude the best
results were not tangible things that
were put into documents but rather
Intangible things.
Among the intangibles must be
counted, as far as most of the re-
publics and particularly the United
States are concerned, the debate and
argument that surrounded the flght
over the continental solidarity"
declaration.
Certainly this debate was more
potent than the rather weak dec
laratlon that was finally approved
by the conference. i.
1t was generally agreed, although
the United States professed salts
faction, that the final declaration
did little to combat the thing the
whole movement was aimed at
propaganda efforts of certain Euro
pean nations in Latin America.
On the other hand, the debate
dragged the propaganda problem
into the open and acquainted the
world with the fact that the United
States and many other nations were
alarmed over the subtle work which
the European propagandists had
been carrying on In Latin America
for the past five year.
Another intangible that had a real
value was the willingness Of almost
all the delegates to work on q give
and-take basis. Only on one issue
did the delegates show signs of Stub
bornness and that was the 'conti-
mental solidarity" declaration.

Most Important Lima Results

Debate on Solidarity Deemed More Potent
Than Wording Of Declaration Itself

There was q real tussle between
the United States, which wanted q
strong declaration, and Argentina
which was determined not to let q
strong one pass with q unanimous
vote. but the matter was finally
patched up.
Among the concrete achievements
which must be listed along with the
continental solidarity" declaration
or even before 1t, are several COM
panion measures which may do more
If carried out to the letter-for
solidarity than the declaration itself
These include:
/. A resolution designed to remove
trade barriers between nations of
the Americas.
2. A resolution asking the Pan
American Union to study the possi-
bility and desirability of creating an
inter-American institute of eco
nomics and finance.

aider measures prohibiting the COL

Propaganda Minister Is
Reported Recovered
From Illness
Dy the Associated Press.

Dy tta Associated Press.
BERLIN, Dec. 31-Propagands
Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels is
scheduled to make q 20-minute
radio address to the nation tonight
which Is expected to give evidence
OF his recuperation from recent ILL
ness.
Although he will speak from his
ldyllic suburban residence, "Schwan-
enwerder" on the Wansee, a spokes-
man for his ministry said already
he was attending too much ofIlcial
business at home and would resume
work at the ministry after the new
year.
The ofncial news agency an
nounced December % that the fiery
propaganda minister was i'll of in
ftestinal influenza. Since then little
had been heard of him and he was
Nunable to deliver bis customary
Christmas message to children De-
cember %.
One Of Busiest Years.
Tonight Goebbels can look back
upon one of the busiest years Of his
career.
- Four major events needed the
most careful propagandist prepara-
ton - Austrian annexation, the
Czecho-Slovak crisis, Interpretation
of the anti-Jewish outbreaks and
the anti-British and anti-American
press campaigns.
Goebbels did not figure publicly
In the Austrian and Czech events,
but his methods were in evidence
and his hand behind the scenes was
apparent to anybody who has
watched him consistently.
5 He did not function publicly in
the Austrian anschluss affair until
March II, when Hitler had him
read over the radio the Fuehrer's
1,200-word explanation Of why he
had to go to the rescue of the Aus
trian people. ,
? Hand in Sudeten Crisis.
~ Goebbels also failed to figure pub
hcly during the September crisis
which led to Munich or in Hitlers
triumphant entry into the Sudeten-
land. But political observers saw
that Hitler was using Goebbels to
direct Germanys vast propaganda
and publicity machine.
Goebbels recently had an oppor-
,tunity to rehabilitate himself when
b vigorous campaign of words was
launched against the United States
and Britain.
All the tricks used during the
years when the Nazi party fought
for supremacy in Germany were
mobilized for the international
verbal conflict Yesterdays attempt,
In an onicial news agency state
ment on the crisis arising from Sec
retary 1ckes' Cleveland speech, to
effect a cleavage between 125 ,000, 900
non-Jewish Americans and their

Voices Plea for
Public Defender

A strong plea for the institution
in Imperial county of the public
defender system sin the trial OF
criminal ca9eS, was voiced Thurs
day noon by Charles r. Provence
at the weekly meeting of the Rot
airy club at The Barbara Worth
hotel
Provence. now practicing law IL
BraWlcy. Was PRESENTED by Ross 7.
Hickcox. and spoke on the subject
The administration of justice
and the defense of prisoners
Similar talks are being given thru
cut tte nation as part of a pro
gram inaugurated by the American
Bar association, Hickcox explained.
The proposed plan, Provence saiG,
is for the state county or city to
provide public defenne counsel for
persons who are charged with
criminal offenses and who have
not sufficient funds to retain prl-
vate lawyers. A public prosecutor
is provided under the prevailing
system, he pointed out, but courts
are compelled to appoint attorneys
who must defend the accused per-
son without fee.
Such a practits, Provence said
almost invariably leads to trials by
iuries, and inadequate defense et.
fort. IT therefore does not provide
the t'5st means of administering
Justice, he contended.
The public defender system, he
pointed out, has been in practice
in many places in the Uniteo
States. Outstanding is the city OF
Los Angeles where it is estimated
that, through elimination Of many
Jury trials, savings have amounted
to five times the cost of the pub
lic defenders office.
The meeting was the first to r,e
conducted by j. E. Brock, new
president Of the club.

Meanwhile, Schapansky eyed his
