Peril in Greek Crisis;
Favors u. ). Action
Says Troops Should Be
Sent to Block Invasion;
Convention Work Storts
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Nation-
al Commander Paul H. Griffith,
sounding a serious warning amid
festive preparations for the
American Legion's 29th annual
convention opening Thursday,
said, "The critical situation
which has developed in Greece
within the past few hours .
could spread into world con-
f1agration on a moments notice. "
Mr.. Griffith called a news con-
ference late yesterday soon after
his arrival from Washington, where
he said he had talked to President
Truman. Asked by a reporter if he
favored sending troops abroad to
support the Truman doctrine, the
Legion commander replied:
Il don't see how you can enforce
anything without using police. If
it takes troops we should send
troops.
IF and when Greece Is invaded
there's no use to wait like we waited
before If there is no other way to
stop them but to send troops, then
we should send troops.
Calls U. N. a Baby"
Mr.. Griffith, who lives in Union
town, Pa, said the Legion's Execu-
tive Committee, which begins pre-
convention sessions today, was "al-
most unanimously in favor" Of the
Truman policy "of aid to Greece and
Turkey" and any other small coun-
tries having "a foreign theology
forced upon them"
Asked if he thought the United
Nations could resolve the situation
in Greece, where a government
crisis developed over the week end,
Mr.. Griffith replied
IF the United Nations is mature
enough it should handle all world
affairs, but we believe the United
Nations is baby in swaddling
clothes without the power to act. I
don't believe the United Nations is
capable of acting at this time"
Urges Universal Training Now.
Mr.. Griffith issued a prepared
statement demanding a special ses-
sion of Congress "for the specific
purpose of enacting universal mill
tary training legislation and for the
purpose of strengthening our ma
tio1al defense"
While the Legion leader disclosed
that preparedness would be the
theme" of the Legion convention,
preparedness. also was the watch
word of city officials who remember
that 100000 persons attended the

PETROPOLIS, Brazil, Aug. Is.
"A big hurdle at the Inter
American Defense Conference
was believed cleared today with
Argentine agreement that all
American nations might act to
stop an attack OF any one on
another.
The Donation conference has
been sitting since August Is to draw
upsa treaty of mutual defense for
the Western Hemisphere. Informed
sources said last night thirds
OF the treaty had been agreed on.
Argentina had insisted that joint
sanctions-such as breakoff of
trade and diplomatic relations and
military action-should be called
into play only in case an American
nation was attacked from outside
the hemisphere.
Insisted on Consultations.
She had argued that in event of
aggression from within the hemi-
sphere, steps to stop the aggression
should be limited to consultation
among the American republics.
Last night, however, she con-
sented to application Of collective
means" to stop intrahemisphere at
tacks, but "only after such steps
are resolved by consultations"
Her consent was given in reply
to q compromise plan proposed by
Venezuela. A high conference
source reported that the United
States also had accepted the COM
promise formula and said 'the
problem now is adequately settled"
The United States and most other
delegations had held out for joint
action in event of aggression against
any. treaty signatory from any
source. g..
A five-nation subcommittee today
neared agreement on an American
security zone"-the territory to be
subject. to joint defense.
Strong Defense Band.
Ricardo joaquin Alfaro, Panama's
foreign minister and ex-officio
chairman of this subcommittee, said
this should be a steel band of de-
tense from the Arctic-to the Antarc-
tic"
He declared that it should take in
strategic outlying island possessions
Of American nations and an extra
territorial ocean area extending 800
miles out from the American coasts.
Mr.. Alfaro said caflada's inclnSion
in the American defense system was
Indispensable" Canada, Is not rep
resented at the conference, but. the
treaty drafters were reported pre-
pared to leave the door open for her
with a provision for later signature
of the pact by 1lon-participants in
the negotiations.
The security-zone arrangement
would be based in part on the Act
OF Panama Of 1928, which declared
the waters 800 miles out from the
American coasts a region of COM
mon defense.
Conference sources said swift
progress toward completion of the
treaty by the August 28 deadline
might result in an invitation to
President Truman to come to Brazil
earlier than September S, the date
now set. The President is tenta-
lively scheduled to address the
closing session.
