Latin America faces In the next

pansion comparable TO that ex-

The convoy question was OF main

interest was sharpened by these
two developments:
l. President Roosevelt's removal
OF the Red Sea from the list OF

eyaluate its significance to the

There was no official COM

The major questions were
what the agreement meant to

the Dutch, American and Bri-
fish sphere of influence In
southeast Asia; would 1t hasten
