NEW YORK. July 14.-Mayor La
GVardIa declared today that Hitler
through his agents. is seeking to
exploit the well-meaning people OF
this country as tools to get across
what is known as the Hitler peace
proposal"
Speaking to 40 visiting Latin
American educators, the Mayor said
that few days ago in Washington
"a representative of the German
government disclosed the proposals
to representatives of peace move
ment in this country. with instrrr-
ton to try them out and prepare
the foundation for their accept
ance."
In keeping with this plan" the
Mayor added. statements have
been made during the last few days
in Italy and France-both countries
under domination of the Nazi gov
ernment-of the blood ties with
Central and South America"
Sugar Coated" Plan.
Mr.. La Guardia said this was
forerunner of the so-called Hitler
peace proposal to take in people in
this country and, so far as possible,
in Central and South America"
II know that this scheme of Hit
ler's will be readily understood in
your countries as in mine the
Mayor added. 20.
Mr.. La Guardia said that the plan
would have several sugar coatings,"
would call. as a provision which may
or may not be disclosed. for a union
of all European countries.
According to his information. he
continued, the plan would permit
various European countries to use
their own languages, but would re-
serve economic control to German
supervision and would place all
European foreign affairs and rela-
tions under German domination.
M. La Guardia asserted that
Hitler planned by these measures to
control world trade.
Forced Trade.
Hitler would attempt to force
upon Central and South American
countries an exchange of second
grade manufactured goods for your
war materials" the Mayor told the
visitors. He would then be able
to negotiate all treaties between our
countries and the sovereign coun-
tries of Europe.
He would then be able to control
the entire world trade, including
the materials he needs so much
from your countries"
Mr.. La Guardia said that under
the plan Germany would first send
to Latin America, commercial mis-
SionS, second, financial missions, and
third, military missions to gain con-
troll in keeping with his control all
over Europe
The Mayor said that he knew
that thinking people would refuse to
put control of the world into the
hands of an irresponsible fanatic" :"
