The energies Of all the people

THE House anti-inflatlon bill

the cost OF farm labor must be
taken into consideration. Al
present. under the govern

parity prices, which was
adopted several years ago, the
cost Of farm labor is not taken
into consideration. Just why
the cost Of farm labor has
never been considered in fignr-

RIO DE JANEIEO, Jan.
IS. (UF) - The emergency
conference of American for
eign ministers went to work
today on plans TO sweep the
last Yestige of Axis influence and
espionage from the western hemi-
sphere.
The conference opened late yes
terday in TiradenteS palace, with
plenary session of 800 delegates,
representing 300,000,000 democratic
people. Divided into committees,
delegates this morning got down
to cases.
There were indications that Ar
gentina, persistent opponent OF
resolution by which every American
nation would sever relations with
the Axis, might change its mind.
Delegates from Mexico, Colombia
and Venezuela, who were drafting
the resolution, were seeking a for
mula that would be acceptable to
