Unanimous Action Unnecessary.
The "Act of Havana" and the ac-
companying convention are phrased
to make unanimous participation in
steps under them unnecessary in
any event, although stipulating that
administration of any territories
taken over shall be in the interests
of all American republics and of the
inhabitants of the region involved,
with special privileges for no nation.
The Emergency Committee created
by resolution under the act is to
be composed of one member from
each of the 81 republics, but will
be deemed constituted as soon as
IA have been appointed. Similarly
a separate convention creating the
permanent commission will come
into effect when IA of the republics
ratify it.
The act provides that any of the
republics individually or jointly
shall have the right to act in
manner which it's own defense or
that Of the continent requires" If
need for emergency action to pre-
vent any European possessions in
America being converted into
strategic centers of aggression

continent" should be too urgent to

more nations, as 1t might determine
in each case. Emphasizing the prin-
ciple Of free determination of peo-
Piles, the agreement stipulates that
such administration shall continue
only until the region involved can
establish its independence or be re-
stored to its former status without
endangering continental security.
Specific measures for insuring
that the provisional administration
shall give as much freedom as pos
sible to peoples of the region taken
over and stimulate their welfare
and progress are set out in the con-
vention.

in Argentina, with respect to the
procedure applicable in order that
this act and resolution may ac-
quire validity, force and effective
ness"
Conference leaders insisted the
Argentine reservation did not affect
solidarity on principles. Argentine
spokesman said it involved largely
an academic question, arising from
doubts of constitutional authority
to delegate in advance the powers
given to the Inter-American Com
mittee under the act. He explained
the Argentine government would de-
eide if it were necessary to refer
the matter to Congress, which may
be called upon in any case to ratify
the separate convention setting up

Commission on Territorial Admin

BY her reservation Argentina full
filled the expectations of most con-
ference observers that she would
hold out against definite commit
ments here for participating in ac-
ton which might prejudice her
chance for postwar markets in
German-dominated Europe.
Nevertheless her signature pre-
served the traditional unanimity of
pan-American conferences. 1t was

French Ambassador
Confirms Reports
He Has Been Recalled
Henry Hoye Believed
Selected os Successor,
But Envoy Is Silent

Count Rene de Saint Quentin,
the French Ambassador, today paid
what may be one of his last calls
in his official capacity at the State
Department. He confirmed reports
that he is to be displaced from
his post, which he has held here
since March, 1898, by a representa-
tive picked by the Petain govern
ment in Vichy.
The Ambassador successor al
ready has been chosen, he told the
press after he conversed half an
hour with Acting Secretary of State
Welles. He declined to divulge the
name of the successor, but it is
thought in Washington that 1t will
be Henri Faye, French Senator from
Versailles. There are indications
that this name has been presented
to the American Government for
approval and that Washington has
found him persona grata.
Count de Saint Quentin made it
very plain, without saying so di-
rectly, that he had been ordered to
give up his post. He was chosen
for Washington in December, 1887,
three months before his arrival
here, by former Premier Edouard
Daladier, who is now held in con-
finement by the Petain government.
He said that perhaps he will not
continue in the diplomatic service
after his return to France but will
retire to one of his properties. He
owns estates in Normandy, Bur-
gundy and Lorraine-each of which
is in German occupied France.
The Ambassador informed the
State Department of his displace-
ment three days ago, he said. He
is undecided about when he will
leave.

Nazis Claim British
LOST $4,000 Tons
Of Shipping in Week
Present Attacks Are Puny
In Comparison With What
Is to Come, Germons Soy
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, July 80. -- German air
and sea raiders were credited today
in Nazi reports with destroying 257,-
900 tons of British shipping in a
single week of daily forays pictured
as spreading confusion among Eng
lish military leaders and "softening"
the nation for a final smashing blow.
Despite the impressive results"
which are being achieved, however,
these harassing attacks are puny in
comparison with the real offensive
power of the Nazi air fleet, Germans
declared.
The list of British shipping losses
was compiled by Marshal Hermann
Wilhelm Goering's newspaper, the
Borsen Zeitung, from official re-
ports for the week ending July 81.
"The total doubtless exceeds Eng
lish anticipations," the paper said,
but it insisted ominously that the
Germans have not yet turned on full
steam and declared the war is now
merely in a transition stage.
The daily aerial raids on English
industrial sections, the same news
their purpose of rattling the British
public and military leaders as well
as causing considerable damage to
military objectives.
Signs of confusion in England, the
Borsen Zeitung said, are the tre-
mendous haste with which the coun-
try is trying to ''improvise" its de-
fenses and in changes in army
leaders.
1--WE see in England an overhasty
attempt to organize and train
civilian army which at best is in no
wise able to fulfill the tasks which
modern war imposes" the paper
added
AT the same time there is sense
less effort to include the civilian
population in the British war ma
chine and prepare for sniper action
which can only bring the greatest
misfortune to the persons involved"
Though this analysis apparently
reflected a general feeling of con-
fidence in Germany's ability to
smash Britain with powerful Of
fensive, Adolf Hitler's Volkischer
Beobachter warned that war on
English soil will be anything but
pleasant stroll through the country
side"
The Englishmen and Scotsmen
are not cowardly," said this paper,
land no doubt will defend them
selves courageously."
The English, however, said the
Volkischer Beobachter, are "opti-
mistic to the degree of being naive
and thoughtless" of possible conse-
quences.
Their official propaganda" the
newspaper declared, encourages
them in this OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
sibly with the object of forestalling
collapse of their morale"
