Havana, Cuba, July 29.(UP)
—With an impressive display
of New World solidarity, the
second consultative meeting of
American Foreign Ministers
Monday night approved politi-
cal and economic measures de-
signed to insulate the Ameri-
cas against the effects of war.
Among the subjects given
approval by delegates of all
the twenty-one American re-
publics at a private plenary
session lasting three hours and
twenty-live minutes was one
regarding the establishment of
a collective Pan-American
trusteeship over American
possessions of conquered Euro-
pean nations. Another related
to economic cooperation.
The latter embodies the
ideas of President Roosevelt's
so-called cartel plan for dis-
posal of crop surpluses of the
American countries. Sponsored
by the United States, it was de-
signed to offset German and
Italian trade inroads in the
Western Hemisphere and to
prevent Latin America from
being forced into the Nazi-
Fascist economic orbit.
Both the trusteeship and
the economic cooperation
plans were approved unani-
mously.
The tristee«hly plan, which,
in effect) implement the Mon-
roe Doctrine, comprises a con-
vention, or treaty, and a reso-
lution known as the Act of
Havana The act provides for
interim applications of the
principles of the convention
pending its ratification by the
several republics.
The official text of the plan
revealed that the United Stated
or any other American nation
would be given a free hand in
taking over European posses-
sions if such were necessary to
prevent a threat to the peace
of the world.

Marseilles, July 20. (UP)—
Travelers reaching here to-
night from the German-occu-
pied areas said that German
military forces were in move-
ment throughout the occupied
zone of the French coast,
from Dunkirk to Brest.
All indications were, the
travelers said, that "gigantic"
German preparations for an
attack on the British isles were
nearing completion.
The reports ccnld not be
confirmed but were generally
credited in French circles here.
Troop trains and naval
forces were reported to be
massed in and near the major
ports along the north coast of
France. In addition it was
reported that ‘•preparatory”
action was noticeable to a
depth of 100 miles inland.
Within that belt, across the
channel from England, were
said to be massed all the
supporting services and mate-
rials needed for operations
which appeared imminent.
Thus “vast preparations for
an attack on the British isies
appeared to be nearing a
peak,” the travelers said.
Certain zones were closed
to French civilians, but in most
places those who remained in
their homes during the Ger-
man occupation were not in-
terfered with by the move j
merits.
The Bow of returning refu-
gees had been checked in or-
der to avoid cluttering roads
and railroads. In order to keep
the military dispositions secret
the Germans were moving
troops, heavy guns and other
materials only at night. i
From dusk to dawn the
roads were alive with military
operations, it was said.
German naval forces were
reported to have moved into
the French northern ports.
They consisted chiefly of tor-
pedo boats and destroyers
from the Baltic fleet and hun-
dreds of torpedo-carrying mo-
torboats.

Havana, July 28. (UP)
United States Secretary of
State Cordell Hall announced
tonight that his Pan-American
conference committee on the
preservation of peace had ap-
proved unanimously the “dec-
laration of Havana” designed
to prevent transfer in owner-
ship of war-orphaned colonies
in the new world.
The secretary said that the
declaration would now be han-
ded to the committee of the
whole—which is the commit-
tee of all nations.
The meeting at which ap-
proval was given the declare
tion came to a close at 6:30 p.
m.
Hull said that Colombia had
asked an opportunity to draw
up and present an additional
clause for the convention—
which implements the declare
tion—and that the committee
would permit such action.
Meanwhile, the economic
committee of the conference
drew up a report providing for
broad measures of ir.ter-Araer
ican economic cooperation. A1
though the emphasis at pres-
ent is oil the handling of sur-
pluses which have piled up in
various countries due to war
conditions, it is intended to
amplify the measures to give
them a certain permanence.
The report indicates that a
new movement for investments
may be started, as it urges that
private or public corporations
be formed with capital obtain-
ed from two or more countries
of this hemisphere. It also en-
visages increasing importance
of the permanent economic
committee in Washington
which was created as a result
of last fall’s Panama resolu-
tion.

A MESSAGE FB9M
JAMES P, AIMED
Candidate For Chief
Justice of the Sup-enu
Court.
W. J. Walker Re-elected
Committeeman For
Thirty-Fourth Year
I am grateful to the voters
of Shelby County for the fine
support given me in the pri-
mary for Chief Justice ol the
Supreme Court. You greatly
aided me in getting into the
run-off which wlil be held Au-
gust 24th.
Saturday’s vote between me
and my opponent in the run-
off was very close, but more
than a quarter of a million
votes went to-the four candi-
dates that were eliminated. I
hope for a sufficient number of
those votes to elect me.
I again express my appre-
ciation for the support given
me, and ask its continuance
and also the support of those
who did not favor me in Sat-
urday’s primary.
