Pan-American Conference Opens
MR. HULL WANTS A COLLECTIVE TRUSTEESHIP
HAVANA, July 22 (Reuter)-Mr. Cordell Hull, United States Secretary of State, addressing the Pan-American Con- ference to-day said that the United States Government endorses the suggestion that all American Republics should establish a collective trusteeship over European possessions in the western hemisphere.
"We have no desire to absorb these possessions or extend our Sovereignty over them, or in- clude them in any form of sphere of influence; but we couldn't permit these regions to become subject to barter in a settlement of European differen- ces or the battleground for ad- justment of auch differences,
"Either situation could only be regarded as a threat to the peace and safety of this hemisphere, as would any indication that they might be used to promote systems similar to the Inter-American system. Any effort, therefore, to modify the ex- isting status of these areas-whether by cession, transfer or any impair-
whatsoever in the ment hitherto exercised-will be of pro found Immediate concern to all American republics. It is Record- ingly, essential that we consider a joint approach to this common: pro- ! blem. We must be in a position to move rapidly and unhesitatingly."

Mr. Cordell Hull added, that the United States Government was pre- the pared to co-operate, should occasion arise, in its execution, and ndded that the establishment of collective trusteeship of any region must not carry with any thought of the creation of special interest "by upy American republic.
