NEAR IN LIMA
BerIe Offers Economic
Cooperation Plan
By THOMAS A. LOAYZA
Copyright. 1881

LIMA, Peru, Dec. IA Q.N.SO-A
project for removing obstacles tc
economic cooperation among the
American nations was brought be
fore delegations to the eighth
Pan-American conference today by
Adolf A. Berle, jr., of the United
States delegation.
Berle sought views of the delega
lions on the economic plan, as fur
Their progress was being made to
ward the "gentlemen'S agreement
for inter-American cooperation
against possible outside aggreS
sion, following radio address by
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
criticizing "alien ideas"
EQUALITY SOUGHT
The economic project Is de
signed to break down customs bar
riers between American nations
by means of reciprocal as opposed
| to exclusive bi-lateral trade
treaties, or at least by granting
equality of economic treatment by
all the American nations.
Berle sought today to obtain
unofficially a number of sigma
lures to the plan to facilitate
passage of the American project
through the committee stages of
construction.
Delegates to the Pan-American
conference revealed that a resolu-
ton embracing the proposed gen
tlemen'S agreement" may be
adopted unanimously by the con-
ference in the near future-pos-
sibly before nightfall.
AWARE OF THREAT
In his radio broadcast to the
United States, Hull said that dele
gates to the conference, faced by
Ia grave world situation, have be
come more determined than ever
to defend their principles and in
situations against alien ideas.
THE American nations are
keenly aware of the threat to
their principles and institutions
which have arisen elsewhere in
nations holding alien ideas,
which they seek to impose by
force or extend by deception"
GREATER UNITY
Expressing his confidence thai
the conference would show
marked progress, the American
Secretary of State said:
Let me express first the
clear impression I already have
gained from my conversations
with my colleagues of other
countries-that there exists be-
tween us a measure of moral
and spiritual unity far greater
than ever before"
Hull declared advancement o.
relations among the Americas
rests upon common acceptance
of fundamental principles fol
which American nations fought il
their struggles for independence.

No reason for the Italian
