ADDRESSING THE Pan-American Con- ference at Havana yesterday, Mr. Cordell Hull, United States Secretary of State, said the U.S. Government endorses the suggestion that all the American republics should estab- lish 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 include them in any form of sphere of influence but we could not permit these regions to become the subject of barter in a settlement of European difficulties or a battle- ground for the adjustment of such differences.
