And having trusted and disbanded his Army, Figueres of Costa Rica appealed to the Pan American Union For six hours Sunday, the Union debated this emergency call. They uiscussed, argued, orated. This is not unusual. Pan American meet- ings always lean heavily on forn- sics, and it always takes strong leadership from the United States on consultation with Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and a few oth- ers to harness the oratory and ar- rive at definite conclusions At this mecting, the USA was represented by charming. ineffect- ual Paul Daniels, chief of the Latin American Republics Divis- ion.
