HULL
IS
SUPPORTED
HAVANA
The
United
States'
Secretary
of
State,
Cordrll
Hull,
has
been
elected
head
of
a
Peace
Commission
at
the
Pan-American
Conference.
This
Peace
Commission
is
to
deal
with
the
economic
security
of
the
Western
Hemisphere.
All
of
the
twenty-one
American
republics
represented
at
the
conference,
with
the
exception
of
Argentina,
have
given
their
full
support
to
all
the
proposals
of
Secretary
Hull.
Argentina
has
been
very
hesitant
about
making
any
commitments
because
of
fear
that
her
European
trade
may
be
injured.
Some
observers
go
so
far
as
to
believe
that
the
government
of
that
country
may
perhaps
be
undermined
by
"fifth
columnists"
who
are
known
to
be
strong
in
some
sections
of
South
America,
the
result
being
the
present
stand
taken
by
Argentina.
FINLAND
DEMOBILIZED
STOCKHOLM
It
was
announced
in
Sweden
yesterday
that
Finland
had
received
and
accepted
an
ultimatum
from
Russia
to
completely
demobilize
her
army.
Some
sources
believe
that
this
is
the
first
move
on
the
part
of
Rus-ia
to
absorb
Finland
as
was
