Last Dispute Settled,
Bogota Conference
Will End Tomorrow
•t Associated Pre;«
BOGOTA. Colombia, April 29.—
The way is clear for winding up
the Pan-American Conference to
morrow. The last dispute was
settled last night with agreement
rm a plan to pay for foreign prop
erty expropriated by American gov
ernments. in line with a United
States proposal.
This dispute turned on a clause
of an economic treaty bemg drawn
up at the Ninth International Con
ference of American States.
The United States wanted this
clause to say that any one of the
21 republics expropriating foreign
property should compensate the
owners in "prompt, adequate and
effective form.”
Constitution Held Violated.
Mexico said the clause either
should be stricken out altogether or
should be amended with the addi
tional phrase, "in accordance with
the constitutions of each country."
Mexico held the clause as it stood
violated its constitution.
But the committee drafting the
treaty accepted the United States
proposal and adopted the compen
sation clause last night without
amendment. Fourteen countries
voted in favor of this. Five were
against It — Mexico. Guatemala,
Venezuela. Ecuador and Panama.
Two were absent—Paraguay and
Costa Rica.
The dispute had threatened to hold
the Economic Committee in session
past tomorrow's final formal plenary
meeting. This meeting will be at
4 p.m. at the old home of Simon
Bolivar. South American patriot.
Speakers will be Colombian Eduardo
Zuleta Angel, conference president,
and Romulo Betancourt, former
President of Venezuela. The next
conference is to be in Venezuela
in four or five years.
Four American Nations
Consider Economic Union
BOGOTA, Colombia, April 29
■CDNi.—A union within a union
may wall emerge from the rurrent
Pan American Conference of Bogota.
The foreign ministers of the
four neighboring countries of Co
lombia, Venezuela. Ecuador and
Panama met here this week to plan
a joint meeting for May 24 in Quito,
capital of Ecuador, to consider the
formation of a four-nation eco
nomic union.
Three of the countries—Colombia,
Venezuela and Panama already
have gone together on a Granco
lombiana merchant fleet and, with
Panama, would expand their joint
efforts to include all phases of eco
nomic endeavor which is mutually
advantageous.
.fnint Needs Stressed.
Eduardo Ztllcta Angel, new Co
lombian foreign minister and pres
ident of the Pan American Confer
ence, says the Quito agenda in
cludes projects which all four coun
tries ned but none can finance
individually. He listed among these
the establishment of technological
institutes to train men in modern
industrial know-how, of a Grand
colombiana bank, of a joint reinsur
ance institute and possibly of a
Grandcolombiana airline comple
ment of the merchant fleet.
The four-nation conference will
consider the joint development of
railroads, roads, communications
between countries and granting cus
toms preferences to bring the pro
posed union closer together physi
eallv.
There Is a possibility, ton, Mr.
Zuleta concedes, that eventually, if
the union pans out. the four coun
tries may standardize their cur
rency—making it uniform through
out.
Efforts to Rr Watched.
With economic development the
ma jor topic of discussion among the
Latin delegates here in Bogota, the
effort of the four countries to help
themselves will be watched with
keen interest.
The big drawback to the develop
ment of many Latin American
countries has been (heir relative
smallness. One alone could do
little. Now Colombia and its neigh
bors propose to do. together, much
of what none could do alone.
The proposed union contemplates
the formation of what would be
almost a new. bigger nation in all
save a political sense.
It is an interesting experiment in
self-help, which well could point
the way in Latin America to eco
nomic strength through union.
