Economie Issues Have Top Billing At Inter-American Conference Today By E. L. ALMEN CARACAS, Venezuela (# — Eco- nomic issues rated top billing at the 10th Inter-American Confer- ence today, with the United States on the defensive after carrying the ball against communism last week. Sixteen of the 19 Latin-American nations at the conference support- ed the United States in warning international communism to stay clear of the Western Hemisphere. Now they want to talk about their want the United States to listen | carefully. U. S. Secretary of State Dulles and the rest of his delegation as-| sured Latin. American last week | that the United States wants to cooperate on economic plans that are mutually advantageous. How- ever, the Latin Americans are not likely to be satisfied with anything less than definite commitments that will eventually lead to a solu- tion of their economic problems. They feel that the United States, as the major market for their raw materials and natural products, must agree to solutions for basic economic problems if any headway is to be made in the battle to better living standards. Agreeing on an economic policy rather than -answers to specific problems seems to be the goal of the Latin-American delegates at this time. The chore of putting the Policy into effect will be under- taken at a conference of finance ministers and ministers of econ- omy to be held later this year at either Washington or Rio De Jan- eiro. Latin America’s principal griev- ance is that it is not gettng enough for ts raw materials, in relation to what it has to pay for finished goods imported from the United States. The southern republics also want more stability in the price situa- tion. They complain also that they lack sufficient credit for financing the economic development of their countries. ges The United States is trying to convince her neighbors they should, depend largely on their own initia- tive plus private capital from abroad. The Latins have been told the United States owes its develop- ment to private capital, and that, |U. S. investors would be willing to send cash into Latin America provided the Latin Americans make the venture attractive. Several thousand mice are milk-| ed regularly in New York City as’ | part of a scientific project, says \the National Geographic Society.
