CHARLES EVANS HUGHES, head

of the United States delegation in

Havana, has politely but flatly told

the Pan-American conference the posi

tion of his government on matters that

have aroused criticism. He said that

the United States has no Imperialistic

aims anywhere in Latin America and

intends to withdraw from Nicaragua

and Haiti as soon as order and some

thing like a stable government have

been established. But he made it

plain that we propose to continue to

dominate the area about the Panama

and Nicaragua canal routes; that we

will not let the Pan-American union

be made into a political institution,

and that we will enter no international

combination that claims a right to In

terfere In what the United States con

siders Its personal affairs. Several

moves contravening these principles

already have been headed off by Mr.

Hughes and his colleagues, and now

it looks as if in the main they will be

indorsed or let alone by the confer

ence. To the committee on reorgani

zation of the Pan-American union Doc

tor Pueyrredon of Argentina proposed

that there be compulsory tariff reci

procity among the American countries,

this being aimed mainly at our high

tariff policy, and when the plan met

strong opposition he declared he would

not sign the reorganization conven

tion without it. Mexico proposed that

the chairmanship of the governing

board be rotated so that the United

States should hold the position only

once in twenty-one years, but this

idea had little support in the com

mittee.
