LIMA, Peru, Dec. 10.-The Pan
American Conference looked to Sec
retary Cordell Hull and the foreign
ministers of Argentina and Peru to-
DAY for keynote speeches charting
a course for the 81 republics of the
Western Hemisphere.
Delegates thronging this hill
trimmed Peruvian capital evinced
keen interest in the three speeches,
scheduled for late afternoon ses-
sion, which were expected not only
to call for closer Pan American CO.
operation but perhaps to indicate
how far their respective govern
ments were willing to go in that
direction.
With Secretary Hull on the sec
ond days conference program were
Foreign Minister Jose Mario Cantilo
Of Argentina and DR.. Carlos Con-
cha. foreign minister of Peru.
Peru's dynamic President, Oscar
Benavides, opened the conference
amid colorful pageantry yesterday
with the assertion that the Western
Hemisphere wishes to be strong in
order to be respected"
American Links Stressed
Though stressing the community
OF ideals and interests that link
American nations, Benavides was
careful to say such unity did not cut
the Western Hemisphere off from
the rest of the world
Soon after the formal opening
Assistant Secretary of State Adolf
A. Berle. jr, told a radio audience
that the United States was not
seeking military alliances with the
Latin American republics Such a
course was obviously out of the
question, Berle asserted, denying
rumors he said were current.
Nations of the Western Hemi-
sphere have not lived under a sys-
tenn OF military alliances, nor so far
as I know does any Of them care to
start such system now he de-
clared.
Among delegates, however, there
were indications an outright decla-
ration for mutual assistance in case
OF foreign aggression might be made
by the conference.
Now that the Cuban and Argen-
tine delegations have broken the
ground by submitting projects for
consideration, the first condemning
racial persecution and the second
advocating regular meetings among
the American foreign ministers for
mutual consultation, it was expected
the various delegations would come
forward with proposals they have
been keeping up their sleeves.
Proposal Circulated.
The Argentine proposal, first con-
crete move for greater inter- -Ameri-
can cooperation. was circulated
among other delegations before
formal presentation to the confer
ence after some possible revisions as
to Technology and methods.
Foreign Minister Cantilos speech
was watched with particular atten-
tion because Argentina, with tradi-
tlonally strong ties to Great Britain,
has indicated opposition to any
commitments for continental defense
along the lines of President Roose-
velt's wishes.
Secretary Hull's speech was ex-
pected to outline United States

State Department officials. con-
cerned by reports that Mexico has
arranged to barter oil to Germany
for machinery and chemicals, asked
Ambassador Josephus Daniels today
for a full report.
This Government interest arises
from the fact the oil was produced
by wells seized from American
owned companies and no compen-
sation has been given.
While there was no official COM
ment. officials here were under
stood to take the attitude that the
disposition of the oil was of ex-
treme interest to this Government
SO long as claims of the former
American owners were unsatisfed.
No Progress for Settlement.
President Cardenas of Mexico has
recognized that country's obliga-
ton to pay and has invited the
owners to discuss the question. but
there has been no progress toward
a settlement.
Mexico City dispatches said about
Sl7,OOO,OOO worth of oil was involved
in the deal, completed through w.
X. Davis, New York oil man. Mexico.

as we'll as German manufacturers
and supplies. Not all of the oil will

The reported German Mexican oil
deal marked a further economic tie
between those countries at a time
when the administration has been
making every effort to rally the
nations of this hemisphere to a
solid front against penetration of
totalitarian political and economic
ideas.
Reich Trade Increasing.
Reich statesmen are reported to
have gained an increasing trade
with the United States Southern
neighbor in recent months. Amer
leans in business in Mexico report
growing competition on such items
as chemicals. Office machinery and
supplies which Germany formerly
did not market there.
Mexico, in addition to expropriat-
ing American and other foreign
owned oil lands, has seized Amer
ican farm lands for subdivision
under its agrarian program. In the
case of the farm lands, however,
