RIO CONFERENCE
Everybody Wants 1t
Nobody Can Get 1t

rid of Nazi agents and firms within
her borders"
Today, about a year and a half
later, the u. S. still stands on that
position. The Argentines continue to
deny U. S. claims they haven't
lived up to their promises on this
score.
Latest cutlery for calling the Rio
meeting began on Jan. II, when
Chairman Vandenberg (R-Mich) of
the Senate Foreign Relations COM
mittee. and former Secretary of
State Byrnes differed on this point
in Cleveland speeches.
Said Vendenberg: Il think it is
past time to hold the Pan Ameri-
can conference which we promised
in 1915. . There is too much evil
Gence we (the American r~epublics)
are drifting apart - and that a
communist upsurge is moving in"
Said Byrnes: I'VE are eager to
proceed with the treaty.. . 1t is
our earnest hope that before long
there will be such reasonable and
substantial compliance by Argen-
tina with its obligations that the
American republics, after consulta-
ton, will convene the Rio confer
ence."
Uruguayan Foreign Minister
Eduardo Rodriguez Larreta follow
ed this up by saying that continued
postponement of the meeting
keeps the hemisphere in a
state of crisis"
E-cuadorean Foreign Minister
Jose Vicente Trujillo added the
prediction the U. S.-Argentine i'm
passe would be solved shortly and
that the conference would be held
early in. the year.
Shortly afterwards the Argentine
foreign office announced it had re-
ceived a note from Brazil, the host
nation. suggesting the hemisphere
nations pick a new date.
Next day the Brazilian foreign
office said it didn't know anything
about that and Foreign Minister
Raul Fernandes commented the
time is not ripe yet"
All this, plus Marshall's unknown
views, added to the considerable
confusion that has surrounded the
Rio conference almost from it's in
ception.

the European theater during ths
war is only one reason for this in.
creased interest. Tn an effort to
escape, even momentarily, from the
dreary life of postwar Europe
with it's hunger, poverty, illness and
cold-the average European is
reaching out more and more to
scholarship" she said.
Returning to the United States
with the firm conviction that this
desire of the French people to know
more about our daily way of life, our

ture, Mrs. McManaway went to work
on the problem right away.
