BY DAVID LAWRENCE. ‘While the eyes of the American peo- |ple have been focused on Europe for ithe last several months, there has been a feeling here that the United States ought to be studying closely th econcmic situation of Latin America. ‘Today the 21 republics, through ac- credited delegates, are participating in the fourth Pan-American Commercial Conference here. Each conference in the past has added to the opportunities for closer economic understanding, but this occasion transcends all others, for the 500 delegates are meeting at a time when the whele world situation is dis- turbed and when the debts of South America to investors in the United States have to some extent required a default. Revenue Changes Impossible, There has been an undercurrent of criticism of some of these loans on the ground that American investment bankers have induced various govern- ments to borrow money that was really not needed and have participated in an era of extravagance which is now bringing & crushing tax burden. Some of these loans are secured by customs and tax receipts in such a way that hanges in internal revenue systems re not possible without the consent of i foreign bondholders committees, a phase of inter-American affairs that does not make the United States par- ticularly popular in Latin America. Here and there have been hints of & | moratorium on South American loans, | but the situation is not parallel to that of Germany or France because repara- tions have been government obligations to other governments. In South Amer- ica the governm:nts borrowed from private 1 nvestors in the United States, so a default or moratorium is a serious blow to the permanent credit of the borrowing country. Arrangements to refund South Amer- ican loans at better terms of interest are likely to be made in the next few years, but at present, with the resources of the banks of this country concen- trated on transactions within the United States and in short-term paper in Europe, the chances of South America getting favorable attention are by no means favorable. A year of revolutions in almost every South American country has also served to weaken the investor’s confidenc: in pan-American republics, so the confer- ence here this week, the dat> for which was set a long time ago, comes by co- be done to show th: American investor the nature end character of South American economic leadership. Export Gains Are Lost. ‘There's another viewpoint from which the conference has an important ! bearing on economic developments in the United States. For the last seven years the United States has been mak- ing steady increases in export trade, but in one year three-quarters of the gain has been wiped out by the de- pression. Likewise the United States has bought much less goods from South America. ‘The market to the south is consid- ered a natural outlet for the goods of | the United States, but the tendency in | the financial centers of the United | States has been to look to Europe for | large financial operations and the fur- % lof the Minister from Ecuador, Senora iand is equally at ease with both Span- | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Brilliant Southern Women in Washington to Represent Sex at Conference. BY GRETCHEN SMITH. ‘The beautiful and talented young wife Dona Resa H. de Viteri, has added an- other interest to her already active life. In addition to her accomplishments as & musician, her charm as a hostess and her personal supervision of three small children, she is now taking an active part in the work of the feminist group of her country. Having been ap- pointed by her government as commis- sioner from Ecuador on the Inter- ‘American Commission of Women, she is daily attending the sessions of the Pan-American Conference, meeting this week at the Pan-American Union. Devotes Time to Music. Senora de Viteri, whose arrival in ‘Washington two years ago, brought a valuable addition to the feminine group of the diplomatic circle, has devoted much time to the adaptation of the plaintive Inca music of her land to .nodern use. At the time of her arrival in the Cap- ital, the Senora did not speak English, but has since mastered the language, | conversing fluently. In her own land, Senora de Viteri, | whose fatber is cean of the College of Medicine and Surgery of the University of Guayaquil, has for several years played an important part in the femin- | ist movement. Centering her interests principally upon conditions existing | among the women of Ecuador, she has| done much to further the cause of | women's rights in that country. i Of a dark, striking beauty, the senora | is always a center of attraction. Member of Committee. 1t would be difficult to find a group | of women more generously encowed with beauty and_brains than those repre- senting the Inter-American Commission | of Women. This commission was ap- | pointed some time ago by the Pan-| American Conference to study condi- | tlons among the women of the Western Hemisphere. { Senora de Viteri is a member of the | Natfonality Committee of the Inter- American Commission, a group working to obtain equal nationality rights for | women. The “lady from Brazil,” Senora Flora | de Liveira Lima, also is well qualified to | act as delegate. As the wife of a diplo- | mat, Manuel de Oliveira Lima, she has | had wide international experience, hav- | ing lived in many of the capitals of | the world, where her husbanc was sent as envoy. A woman of unusual culture | and intellectual achievements, Senora de Oliveira Lima speaks five languages | ish and English, the two languages | spoken this week at the conference. | Miss Paul Well Known. Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the Natfonality Committee of the Inter- American Commission of Women, is| well known to Washingtonians, having for many years lived at the head- | quarter of the National Woman's Party | on Capitol Hill. Miss Paul recently| returned from Geneva, where she rep- | resented the Inter-American Commis- sion of Women on the Women's Con- | sultative Committee on Nationality. | SENORA DONA ROSA H. DE VITERL HARLOW BODY DUE IN CAPITAL TONIGHT Lieutenant Commander Killed in Auto Crash Fear Annapolis to Rest in Arlington. Special Dispatch to The Star. ANNAPOLIS, Md., October 6.—The body of Lieut. Comdr. Hamilton Harlow, United States Navy, who was killed in an automobile accident early yesterday morning when his car plunged off the road and overturned at the Intersection of the Defense and Crane highways near this city, will be taken to Wash- irgton this afternoon for burial. Interment will be in the Arlingten National Cemetery. The burial will be held at 2 o'clock and will be marked by military rites. The body was held at the Naval Hospital here until today, awaiting word from the late officer's father, Charles A. Harlow of San Fran- cisco, Calif. The father is a retired naval commander. All details concerning the fatal acci- dent have been worked out. Rear Ad- miral Thomas C. Hart, superintendent | of the Naval Academy, crdered a board of inquiry, which was presided over by Capt. William J. Giles, commander of the Reina Mercedes station ship. A definite report has not been made, but it is expected to be “accidental death.” Police Justice Louis M. Hopkins, act- ing coroner, has turned the case over to the naval authorities. State Patrol- man James O. Shockley investigated the mishap and gained two reports con- cerning the fatality. Edward Lavender, who lives at the corner, is of the opin- ion that Comdr. Harlow did not see the | curve in time to make the turn. Lieut. | E. F. Forestel, United States Navy, who | was trailing Comdr. Harlow, had a simi- lar report, it is said.

J, October 6.—One | PLANS 70 LOOSEN CREDIT WIN FAVOR Administration Scrutinizes Proposals to Rediscount Business Securities. By the Associated Press. With increasing favor the adminis- tration and business leaders are scruti- nizing proposals to liberalize credit fa- cilities as a means of stirring commer- cial activity. Among some high Government offi- clals thes opinion is growing that amendment of the law to broaden fa- cifities of banks would strengthen the positions of the institutions and ease credit. In the meantime, a special commit- tee of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States has undertaken to aid the farmer and stinulate purchas- ing power through a similar approach. It would increase the banking and credit services avallable to agriculture. Bills to Effect Change Pending. ‘The Federal Reserve act now pro- vides that no stocks or bonds of com- | mercial enterprises shall have redis- count privileges, regardless of their soundness. This has resulted in banks being piled with gilt-edged securities which they are unable to convert into cash through the Reserve system. As a result, some officials believe passage of bills already sponsored in Congress to make these better forms of commercial securities eligible for re- discount would be a business stimulant. Farm Credit Held Inadequate. The Chamber of Commerce Commit- tee will direct its attention particularly toward localities in which banks are closed and in which live stock and pro- duction implements are being liquidated. Credit and banking services available to the farmer were held inadequate by a chamber committee report. * “The numerous failures of commer- cial banks,” it said, “reflect in a meas- ure not only the rapid decline in ag- ricultural commodities, but rather the failure of communities as well as banks.” First-Aid Study Continues.

CALLED UPON TO SHELVE TARIFF AT TRADE PARLEY| (Continued n_First Page.) to apply to the Tariff Commission for tariff reductions either upward or down- ward, and had praised the flexibility feature of the American tariffl saying, “I think it can be safely said that this feature of our tariff law makes for a much more liberal application of tariff policy than obtains anywhere else.” Blamed for Nervousness. At the outset of his speech Dr. Gu- tierrez declared that tariff and money stabilization. which also had been dis- cussed before the conference by Dr Edwin Walter Kemmerer of Princeton University, are “two subjects which have the whole world in an absolute state of nervousness,” and he added that “the Cuban people cannot keep silent | on_the subject of tariffs.” Pointing to an address yesterday be- for the conference by Secrstary of Com- merce Lamont, who had spoken of the Latin American commodities which the United States needs and uses, Dr. Gu- tierrez said, “he entirely @rgot sugar.” Few nations in the world have suf- fered since 1920 as has Cuba, Dr. Gu- tierrez sald, adding that that country has lost three-fourths of its interna- tional trade and that no one can say where the end is. “I make special emphasis on our re- lations with the United States without evil,” he said, but added “that we are intentions.” Quoting figures for 1927 he pointed out that the United States had collected on all its imports a cus- toms duty of $600,000,000, and that of this sum Cuba, while furnishing only one-sixteenth of the imports, but paid a quarter of these duties, $141,000,000. Pairts Hard Conditions. “We paid 55 per cent of the value of our exports in customs duties to the United States,” he emphasized, adding that Cuba did not export luxuries to this country, but such commeditizs as sugar, tobacco and fruit. Cuba was in a far less fvorable posi- tion than other exporting countries, he added, pointing out in pn:.k;lrl:;cfnx- .

TELLS GERMAN ATTITUDE Allen, Says Debt Extension Is Expected.

The Cuban declaration, which would cail on the governments of the 21 pan- American countries to su: for two years, is not aimed entirely at the United States, but applies to those other countries which have raised tariff barriers against each other. In addi- tion to a tariff truce, the declaration also favors the formation of a pan- American economic organization to work for the economic betterment of the countries of the Western Hemisphere and favors also the principle of cus- toms unions.

It was recalled by one of the princi- pals of the American delegation to this conference this morning that a similar resolution had been adopted here at a recent mgeting of the International Chamber of Commerce without any re- sult, all nations but China represented at that time having “declined with thanks” when approached with this resolution, which had called on the dele- gates to urge upon their respective gov- ernments the need for such action.
