Resolution

to

Check Consular Privileges

' Havana (JTA) — The 21 re- publics of t h e Western Hemisphere acted this week to meet the threat of Nazi fifth column activities on this continent. The Pan-American Conference adapted a resolution recommending uniform restriction of t h e i privileges and immunities of diplomats and consuls in an effort to check subversive activities. The •action came after Secretary of Stale Cordell Hull had warned that subversive infiltration was reaching a serious stage. The conference's a c t i o n was aimed to deal with such cases as Mhat of Dr. Frledrtch Ried, German consul in Porto Alegro, Bra •11, who turned up at the consul ate. in .New York alter being removed from Brazil when the Rio de Janeiro Government protested against his fifth column activities.

Lisbon (WNS) — Dujteh Nazis have launched a campaign for the introduction in Holland of the "Aryan" principles, it was reported here. .The Nazis insist that the government trace the family background of all citizens to determine the number of non-Aryans. The Nazis claim that many Jews fled from Spain during the Inquisition about 450 years ago and made their way to Holland where they married non-Jewish wives. A careful survey will disclose, the Nazis state, that many Hollanders who consider themselves "pure" Aryans are actually Jewish.
