;Latin Anioriea "‘Strong" Leadership I

(By J. O. Stark, Associated Press Staff Writer) | HAVANA, July D-(AH-The United States offered Latin Am- erica its leadership and dollars to- clay in a bold fight against the w- talitarian system of self-sufficient leoonomy, and called for joint trusteeship over any Eturopean colonies in the western hemisphere threatened with transfer to any other European powers. . State secretary Cordell Hull, de- fining the program of his country ibefore the second conference of [American foreign ministers, put the plan 0c a cooperative basis but clearly indicated the United States was ready to throw its full resources behind its execution. l In his speech, expected to as-‘ fume the status of a policy-guid- ng declaration for the conference. Hull condemned "forces of ruth- less conquest which shrink from no means of attaining their ends." Polntecllyr, he served notice that, the United States would not coun- l tenanoe filly effort, to "modify the existing status" of European one. [sessions in the western world, “whether by oesslon, by transfer, ‘or by any impairment whatsoever ‘h; "the control heretofore exercis-

e . - I It would be "suicidal." he said for the American republics to fail to "recognize iii time and not to prepare to meet fully and decis- lyclrig’ the dangers confronting

l? .

"Decisive remedial action" is im- perative. the secretary declared, to combat subversive activities which: he termed "an attempt to acquire domination of the American Re- publics by foreign governments in their own interests."

He gave the United States‘ en- dorsement for a protectorate by all the Americas over any threat- ened European holdings on this side of the Atlantic and pledged its cooperation “should the occas- ion arlsc. in its execution."

Hull counselled that such u. trusteeship should be free of any idea of “special interests by any American Republic" and that "as soon as conditions permit, the region should be restored to its original sovereign or be declared independent when able to estab- _lisli and maintain stable self-gov- eriiment."

His words, gravely spoken, gave further emphasis to an already formally presented note warning Germany and Italy the United States would resist, alone if ne- cessary, any attempt to lay hands on French, British or Netherlands colonies in the new world.

Hull urged creation of facilities for temporary marketing of sur-I plus commodities and the develop- ment of agreements to assure equity for producers and consum- BIS.

The first step is designed to thwart any attempt by Germany or others to gain economic, then political domination of any Am- erican country through individual barter dealings.

The second step is intended more for development of special com- modltv agreements or pools, ap- parently patterned after the in- ternational rubber and tin cartels. This plan is broad enough to take in any important commodity such as coffee. wheat. meat and min- erals which some countries must export to live.

Hull indicated one method of disposing of present large sur- pluses miglit be relief distribution.

Long before Lord Halifax pro- claimed that Great, Britain would go on fighting "until frccdom for our- selves and others is secure," in fact. before Hitler made his "last chance” bid, it was obvious that. no compro- mise would be accepted.

The expectation voiced in Berlin that the Halifax broadcast would be accepted by Hitler us Britain's an- l swer could mean that the assault would be unleashed soon. Yet the actual "zero hour" Is ii matter for; determination oii military groundsl Whatever the nature of that at- tack, weather conditions and pros- pects must go farther to set the mo- ment of its initiation than Hitler's whim.

Germany has assembled experteto weigh weather prospects not only for any clay, but for weeks ahead. Interruption of the assault b storms or fogs, once it gets llll or way, would seriously impair its effective- nass
