NAT0 Offers Information Exchange
toDr. Mora, 0ASS Secretary General

United Press was informed by re.
liable sources.
The purpose is to increase the
relations between the regional ION
communists alliances, as proposed
by Secretary of State, John Foster
Dulles, in the Foreign Ministers
meeting of the NATO held in Pa
ris last December. DR.. Manuel Pra-
do, President of Peru, made a 81
milar proposal on that occasion.
There is the possibility Of a SINH
lar exchange of information be-
tween South East Asia Treaty Or
gazination (SEATO), and the Bag
dad Pact.
The United States is a part both
of NATO and GAS, and believes
the NATO has to learn much from
the group of the 81 American Re-
publics established 100 years ago,
mainly for peaceful solution of dis
putes, and economic and social
matters. The Inter American Al
lance has solved innumerable
cases of tension in recent years
before they ended in war. How
ever, a proposal to establish a
closer union between the two Dr.
CARNATIONS was greatly opposed
by some Latin American countries,
especially Mexico, which thinks
that OAS must not commit itself
in matters outside the Western
Hemisphere. There is not much
interest either in NATO.
Therefore, it is probable the
matter of closer relations is car
ried out through the General Sc
cretary, limiting it to the exchange
Of informations in connection with
communists activities, scientific
and technical matters and others
of mutual interest.
1t is expected that Secretary of
State Dulles, upon his return from
Asia, where he attended the SEATO
meeting, in Manila, will confer
with the Delegates of the twenty
Latin American republics.
The Council approved a resolu-
ton authorizing the General Sc
cretary of SEATO to agree with
Spaak to a system of exchange Of
information similar to the one he
proposed in the GAS 1t is believed
there must be closer relations be-
tween GAS and Bagdad Pact.
Sparks letter to Mora, written
in general terms, proposes the
study of effective means for the
exchange of information. It is
reported Mora showed it to DR..
Eduardo A. Garcia, President Of
GAS Council.
