Lima Opposes
League Plan
BY THOMAS A. LOAYZA

Copyright, 1889
LIMA, Peru, Dec. 6 QN.SO.
A survey of opinions of delegates
to the Eighth Pan-American Con-
ference which opens in Lima,
Friday. indicated definitely today
that efforts to constitute a Pan
American court of justice Or
League of Nations are doomed to
failure.
A majority of the South Ameri-
can delegations expressed the opin-
ion that organizations of this ma
ture would affect the sovereignty
of the separate Latin-American
nations.
Another important project
which apparently will not enjoy
much support is the proposal that
the Latin-American nations con-
cede special customs facilities to
each other. -.
Finally, it appears that there Is
a unanimous intention Of the
South Americans to reject the sug-
gestion of the United States for
the abolition of the present system
of exchange control which is car
ried out by all the South Ameri-
can nations.
On the other hand, there is ap-
parently a favorable attitude to-
ward considering the subject Of
providing sanctuary on American
soil for the masses Of refugees
from European persecution.
This subject, it is understood,
will be submitted to the confer
ence by the Argentine delegation.

Sharp Protest
From Runldnid
Expected

BERLIN, Dec. 6 G.N.S).-An
angry TRADE against Magda Lup-
escu, friend of King Carol Of
Rumania, was published today by
Propaganda Minister Joseph
Goebbels' newspaper, Der Angriff,
in an article voicing Nazi indig-
nation over the killing Of Iron
Guard Leader Corneliu zelea God
reanu Immediately after Carols
visit to Chancellor Adolf Hitler.
The article, titled: THE story
of a king and his Jewish mistress"
was printed on the newspapers
first page with a picture OF
Nine. Lupescu, captioned: ugly
JewesS."
A thumbnail sketch Of Nine.
Lupescu's life accompanied a two
column editorial written in the
style of a fairy tale. This editorial
began:
"Once upon a time there was
a king who didn't get along
with his wife. He cast her out
and sought another woman"
According to important Ruma-
MAN quarters, a sharp protest
will be made against the article
on the ground that it is insulting
to the royal house of Rumania.
It was indicated that the article
might be interpreted as an effort
to incite Rumania politically.
