Foreign ministers of the American republics will meet next week in Washington for the first time since World War II. When the U.S. called for the emergency session last December, the Chinese Communists were driving hard toward South Korea. Reason for the conference: to rally the free nations of the Western Hemisphere against “the aggressive policy of international Communism.” That is still Topic A for the conference.
