 The secret testimony is so as- founding that some Sen a t o ITS, hitherto opposed to national ser vice act, are beginning to wonder whether that is the only solution. Here are samples of the testimony which has amazed them
 H. R.

Foreign Minister Jose Serrato

aware that practical application Of
the scheme may encounter many
obstacles, claim that the doctrine
is, in fact, plan for international
economic regulation, and contri-

The Uruguayan government
hopes that other countries will ac-

the time being it is purely nation
