PAN7AMER|CA
DEFENSE PACT
Alternative Urged
At Lima Farley
BY THOMAS A. LOAYZA
Copyright, 1881

LIMA, Peru, Dec. IL 0.N.S0.
The United States delegation has
definitely decided to drop the idea
of presenting a draft treaty for
mutual continental defense to the
eighth pan-American conference,
now in session at Lima, it was
learned on unimpeachable author
Iity today.
The decision to abandon the de-
fense plan was taken, according
to reliable reports, as a result of
a series of conferences between
Secretary Of State Cordell Hull
and leaders Of the Latin-American
delegations. 1t was also a direct
consequence Of the address made
Saturday by Jose Maria Cantilo,
foreign minister of Argentina.
Aimed at Old World
In place of the abandoned prof.
Iect, it was authoritatively reported
that Hull is now circulating pri-
vately the text Of an alternative
treaty. BY the terms Of this pact
al the. nations Of the American
continent would bind themselves
to take action In the event of
threat to the sovereignty Of any
American nation by a non-Ameri.
can power.
Each American nation, however,
will, according to the proposed
arrangement, take it's action as
an independent entity, so that its
signature of the treaty will in no
way affect its national sovereignty
or its right to act in the manner
most suited to its particular sit
uatlon.
Meet EUery Year
Secretary Hull's draft treaty
also was reported to oblige the
foreign ministers of all the Amer
ican nations to meet regularly
every year, except in years when
Pan.American conferences take
place. They also will meet in the
event of danger Of aggression from
any European source.
It was stated in conference cir

LONDON, Dec. IL GN.S0.
Germany's march to the east has
been transformed from talk into
reality.
As result Of the overwhelming
Nazi victory in the Men1el elec-
tions, responsible observers today
were reconciled that Chancellor
Hitler will be able to announce
return Of Memel to the Reich
when the German Reichstag meets.
This is expected in spite Of earlier
assertions by Hitler that he does
not want Memel.
Lithuania, as posSeSsor Of Me-
mel, is seen as menaced, but she is
expected to profit by the expe-
rience of CzechoSlovakia and sub

Mr. Rose said today the barking is

occasionally in the neiehborhood for
any disturbing noises caused by the
