Hearing Set On Defense Groups Plan
United States plan for a world security body and a Pan American defense framework advances at the World Security conference. Secretary Stettinius says the US will invite Latin American nations to negotiate a long-term mutual defense treaty after the meeting. Most Latin American states back the plan though Ecuador and El Salvador want more time. The formula allows collective defense if the World Security Council fails to prevent an attack, with bases and trusteeships under debate. Hearing delayed until today as a subcommittee prepares for further discussion.
