virtually adopted a “Declaration of Havana” today which | will regulate the future of orphaned European colonies in

the New World.

United States Secretary of State Cordell Hull was cred- | ited with having formulated and obtained agreement on al declaration which wiil firmly state that the Western lemisphere remains isolated from the European and Far Eastern

wars and will not tolerate Na or economic inroads. The declaration is a compromise between a United States plan for a “collective trusteeship” over the posses-| sions of Great Britain, France| and The Netherlands in this hemisphere—one that would have established a hemi-| spheric mandate over the| colonies—and the “wait and see” attitude of Argentina! which wanted no action until the colonies actually were

threatened. Prance and The Netherlands, though conquered hy Germanv, had declared their firm intention te hold onta their possessions in this hemisphere. The compromise was reached at a meeting of the conference's committee for the preservation of peace which lasted until late last night The committee, of which Secretary Hull is chairman, scheduled another meeting for today when the final draft of the proposal will be completed for presentation to the conference. ‘Definitely on Road’

Details of the compromise were not revealed, but they were be-| lieved to include: A general Pan-American agreement on the principle of non-trans-| fer of European colonies in the

Western Hemisphere to any non-| American country. | The 21 American republics will ratify the agreement in accordance to the constitutions of their countries. Until such time as when definite action is needed regarding the colonies, & simple resolution covering the broad attitude of the Western Hemisphere will be in effect Pedra Manini Rois, delegate from 1aV, said that “we are definite the road to a solution.” hut he declined te reveal what decisions had been reached A member of the Ecuadorian dele gation said that only technical points remained to be setteled and that a draft might be ready late this afternoon |

“Collective” Is Dropped

It appeared that Argentina had won an important concession In that the language of the agreement calls for a “declaration” rather than a “treaty.” Secretary Hull had h8ped the conference would adopt

a treaty which all the participating nations would be bound to respect. Another notable change In the United States plan was the substitution of the word “administrative” for “collective” in the trusteeship idea. Neither Argentina nor Brazil approved the word “collective,” believing that it smacked of communism, When it appeared that an agreement had finally been reached word spread through conference quarters that adjournment likely would come by Tuesday. The proposal on colonies will be presented to the full conference on Monday along with others dealing with economics and means of combating activities Secretary Hull seemed so certain of agreements on all projects by Tuesday that he arranged for the steamship Oriente to make a special call to Havana to take the United States delegation to Miami that night. He planned te be back In Vashington by Thursday.

JAPAN IN DOUBT ! ONIRON AND GAS

WASHINGTON, July 27 (U. P). —United States foreign policy, particularly in the Far East, followed a baffling course today that kept |

Japan guessing as to whether she | Canina

will get the American aviation gaso- | line, tetraethyvl lead and iron and steel scrap she needs to keep her

war in China going. Japanese circles here were more perturbed over President Roosevelt's order placing those products under export license control, when they learned that the Government had | permitted a Russian firm to charter an American oil tanker for a trans- | Pacific voyage. | Mr. Roosevelt insisted that the | licensing control was not an em-! bargo and that it was designed | principally to conserve vital resources for American defense,

Ethyl Included in List

He reiterated that contention last night in a proclamation specifying

the materials which will be affected! when the control becomes effective Aug. 1. The proclamation specified that the licenses would have to be obtained to export high octane gasoline of various descriptions, aviation, lubricating cil, tetraethyl lead and No. 1 heavy melting iron and steel scrap Despite Mr ANCES, manyv

Japan probably will regulations as soon as they effective, hy applying for export licenses. Japan has threatened re-

The Maritime Commission has prevented the chartering of Amerjcan ships to carry oil to Spain, raising to British hopes that this nation may prevent any American oil seeping through to Germany. The British also are said to hope that the United States soon would redefine European zones from which American shipping is barred—to include Spain and Portugal. But Mr. Roosevelt denied that he has any| such plan at present. He told a press conference that it is definitely to American interest to keep open that last maritime and air link with Europe as long as possible,

The Bureau agreed to furnish the information within two weeks. figures will not be available to the general public until the first of the year. But officials doubted that the 1940 figures would make sweeping changes in the present estimate of available manpower. 12 Million in First Group

The first group to be registered— 21 to 31—total 12 million men, according to present figures, of whom the Army plans induct into active training by Oct. 1. There are approximately 13 million int the 31-45 group. 13 million in the 45-65 group, and roughly 3,800,000 in the 18-21 class. In the World War draft 24 million men were registered. Of these, 17 million were given classification ratings, and three million were drafted for active service. The statistical data on manpower must be accurate to guard against injustices, State and local quotas are to be percentages of manpower; hence any error would require a community to furnish more or less than its share of conscripts.

WASHINGTON, July 27.—Rep. John W. Boehne Jr. has made up his mind to oppose the compulsory military training bill, he announced today “After considering this important matter, I have at last concluded that I shall vote against compulsory military training on the grounds that the necessity for peace-time conscription has not been adequately proven,” Rep. Boehne declared.

[figure; but, it is impossible for young laviators having no nautical experilence, to give even an approximate lestimate of a ship's size. Judging {tonnage by the eye requires considlerable skill. This accounts partly for the consistently high claims by {Germany of sunken enemy vessels, |and explains why the total destruc-

{tion of British shipping in all Ger- | man reports to date is considerably |

more than the entire tonnage of the British mercantile marine. Nevertheless, although the English Channel victims were small, 10 out of a total of 21 ships went to the bottom or were damaged. This unprecedented proportion of casualties shows alertness on the part of the Germans to take advantage of an unusual opportunity. The escort ships were only armed trawlers, clumsy to handle and far less efficient in action than regular naval units. There does not appear to have been an adequate supplementary air escort. | British convoy ‘tactics have been developed with extreme skill for the most part.
