By the Associated Pre HAVANA, January 23.—Widespread approval from Latin American dcle- {gates to the Sixth Pan-American Con- forence was expressed yesterday in re- sponse to declarations by Charles Evans | Hughes, head of the United States dele- gation, of American policy toward {Latin American countries, as outlined | {in a speech Saturday night before the | | American Chamber of Commerce of | | Cuba. { Dr. Carlos Guadra Pazos, president of th> Nicaraguan delegation, . sal {“Mr. Hughes' declarations vindicate | the widely denounced policies of the | Nicaraguan government and ought to convince our critics of the justice of | the United States' efforts to establish ipmce in Nicaragua.” [ Frankness Is Praised. Dr. Pazos believes Mr. Hughes did | not enunciate any new policy of the United States Government, since the same frank admission of fact has marked all its recent dealings In Nicaragua and Haiti, where no action | has been taken without invitation of | the people of both parties. He believes | th> United States will act In Nicaragua just as it did in Santo Domingo, and | thore who have sought to inflame Latin America against the republic of the ,north now can find no further base for | their attacks. “Mr. Hughes' address” Dr. said. “clarifies an unfortunate misinter- | pretation prevalent in America and else- where. He squarely faces the issues | as they exist, and, without reservation, | defines not omly the attitude of his Government. but 2lso the convictions | I he espouses. Such clear pronounce- | | ments are certain to find sympathetic recoonse from all fair-minded peoples.” | Speaking for another of the tradi- | tional objects of the svmpathy of anti- | | United States partisans, Fernando | | Denies. chief of the Haitian d-lmnlinn.' expressed full accord with the views | of Mr. Hughes, wherein he finds the! { keynote of the spirit and practice of | he Pan-Amercian Union. He esve- fally indorsed guarantees by the United | | States of “domination by nons eouality for all nations of the Western Hemisphere.” | Argentinians Approve. The Argentine delegation confined its | remarks to a general approval of the ! sentiments prompting Mr. Hughes' dec- | | larations and his obvious desire to clear | | the position of his Government at the | { conference. The delegation is reported | | to have hopes that benefits will result | from the Hughes address. From Mexico comes enthusiastic in- dorsement of the delineation of Ameri- | can policy. Dr. Julio Garcia. head of | Mexico's contingent, expressed full ac- | cord with Mr. Hughes' remarks. *I no part can his speech be criticized.” he said. “In it one finds equality and fustice for all nations. We know Mr. | Hughes not only for his astuteness, but | for his fairness.” Apparently mention of Nicaragua elicited no surprise from the Mexicans | Dr. Garcia stated that “Nicaragua is a | well knc®n problem and one that is in | the process of solution." Dr. Jacobo Varela, Uruguavan Minis- ter in Washington and chief of his | country’s delegation here, acciaimed *he Hughes speech as “the true explanation of the United States’ intentions in Latin Ameries.” Prom Paul Fernandez, leader of the imposing Brazilian representation, only the highest notes of praise were heard. | “Mr. Hughes' address was a marvelous | and vigorous definition of pan-Ameri- | canism, in which brilliant idealism is | joined with a practical vision of feasible policies,” he said. Seen as Parley . Ald. Still another harmonious note wa: sounded by the Colombian delegation through its spokesman, Dr. Enrique Olaya, Minister in Washington, who be- lieves the Hughes address already has cleared the conference atmosphere of considerable doubt as to the underlying aims of the United States delegation in Havana. He is represented as holding the opinion that the American delega- tion now can proceed to business with- out the handicap of the suspicion of | some of their colleagues in the confer- ence and, relieved of localized misin- { terpretation of their nresence, are het- ter enabled to contribute their talent to promotion of the general welfare of the conference. | In other quarters silence generally | prevails, In some unofficial sources references are heard as to the sincerity of the United States as reflected in Mr Hughes' pronouncements. Although these are scattered and without official confirmation. the general prevailing im- | pression is decidedly favorable and ap- | parently genuine benefits are expected to result, Pazos | activities on the Somme by the 23rd of October The Escadrille came up from Verd i with an enviable record and much | | expected of it on the Somme.

Not only is that view impraetical since The Hague has declined to assert jurisdic- tion over American disputes, but it overlooks the important fact that the | settlement of disputes between pan- American countries requires special informaticn and a special viewpoint, both of which are lacking at The Hague. “As for opposition to a pan-American court as such,” continued Senor Yepes< “I can only say that if there is to be in- ternational law in the hopeful s*nse now commonly accepted in this hemispher: A means must be provided for its im- partial interpretation.” | Special Procedure. The proposed Colombian treaty would | provide cpecial procedure in cases of | disputes arising out of the repudiation | by any member nation of its financia! obligations, the emphasis “of this .pro- vislon having marked significance in {view of the growing role of the United States as money lender to the Latin! states. | Senor Yepes pointed out the impor- tance of the codicil to this clause, pro- viding that no such dispute may be car- | ried to the proposed pan-American court until opportunities for obtaining justice | of the disputant countries have beea exhausted. In its organization the proposed court would consist of two benches, one acting | as a court of first instance and th: other as an appellate court. According | to Senor Yepes, this is to insure calm and deliberate consideration of possible acute and inflammatory isues as well | 25 1o relieve the court of last resort of | the ourden of small cases. | The court would be directed to govern | Its decisions by whatever codification of international law which may be adopt- | the Pan-American Conference | | and by available precedents. The draft of the treaty provides no specific method | for enforcement of its awards or de- cisions, but would bind all !mnnlor\'i nations to back its decrees with their | “moral support.” | Denies Seeking Row. | Senor Yepes disclaimed any desire on ‘ the part of the Colombian delegation to | challenge the United States.
