B) the Associated Press. BUENOS AIRES, December 10.— Optimistic reports of progress came today from the locked conference room where spokesmen for the United States, Brazil and Argentina struggled for an agreement on the machinery for a neutrality treaty. Informed sources said the draft the Inter-American Peace Conference negotiators expected to write on the basis of the United States' proposal would retain the major provisions of the plan when it goes to committee. Tt would be phrased, they said, to leave no doubt of United States Sec- retary of State Cordell Hull's inten- tions. He issued a statement last night to rectify what he said were misinterpretations. Hull emphasized the pact would be strictly continental and not world- wide, that it would affect neither ex- ports from this continent to other countries nor “move in the direction of or away from sanctions.” Assurances Regarding Exports. Assurances that the pact would not affect exports either during war or peace, authoritative sources said, were KNG ROERES e g e to overcome possible Argentine objec- tions against a boycott of its biggest | & F nn export markets, also to remove French, 2 British and other European appre- | hensions. | ‘The Argentine delegates were Te- | ported preparing to submit their own neutrality proposal but reliable sources | said if an agreement could be reached, | approved modifications would be in- corporated in the United States plan | or a compromise treaty offered by some other nation. The text of Hull's statement: “In order to avold confusion due to the number of divergent press inter- pretations of the draft pertaining to co-ordination of existing American treaties and neutrality now under dis- cussion with other proposals with a similar objective, I may say that the only interpretation intended is that the scope of the proposed convention in continental and not worldwide. Provides Consultation. “The American republics would only be called upon under the proposal to consult through the suggested commit- tee when the peace and safety of one or more of the nations of this hemi- sphere are involved. “I may say further that it neither moves in the direction of nor away from sanctions. It does not in any | way affect exports from this hemi- sphere to other countries either in time of peace or in time of war.” A Dominican source voiced the opinion both the United States and | 3 Brazilian plans would meet favor with the Central American and Caribbean nations which have been friendly to the Dominican Republic’s proposal for an American League of Nations. The United States, Argentine and Brazilian delegates spent the whole | 3 afternoon in conference together. BERLIN COMMENDS PLAN. U. S. Proposal Superior to League of Nations’ Methods. BERLIN, December 10 (#).—The German foreign office, through its mouthpiece, the Deutsche Diplo- matische Politische Korrespondenz, declared last night the United States’ peace plan introduced at Buenos Aires was superior to the League of Na- tions’ methods for safeguarding peace. “While peace preservation theories grown on Geneva soil lose themselves | in the organization of war against | war—in the compulsion toward col- lective war and thus toward the auto- matic spreading of war—America be- gins with the idea of peaceful arbi- tration,” the publication said. *Beyond this, however, Hull (Secre- tary of State Cordell Hull) has enunci- | ated the idea that neutrality is to be valued as fundamentally positive— namely, a powerful means for avert- ing war.” ‘This conception, the paper said, is diametrically opposed to what it cailed the Geneva theory of neutrality as | something “synonomous with neglect of duty toward the community of na- tions.” It said recent proposals for strength- ening article 16 (the sanctions article) of the League covenant would “make it impossible for any state to remain out of war.” § aEs Yo THE USUAL coST i A friendly hand gave Tobias Wildstein, 110-year-old Romeo, a little “don’t be bashful” push yesterday as he courted his dream girl, Rebecca Leffer, 75, at his birthday celebration at the home of the Sons and Daughters of Israel in New York. Mr. Wildstein, however, wouldn’t be pushed into anything and is holding out on a marriage agreement until his lady love increases her $200 dowry offer to $1,500. —Copyright, A. P. Wirephoto.
