HAVANA POLICY

REGARDING EUROPEAN COLONIES AMERICAN POLICY. SOME QUESTIONS ANSWERED BY MR WELLES. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.55 a.m.) WASHINGTON. July 30. The Assistant Secretary of State (Mr Sumner Welles) said: “I hope a satisfactory understanding can be worked out to prevent trouble regarding Martinique.” Answering an inquiry as to what the United States would consider to be a change of sovereignty over European possessions justifying action under the Havana agreement, Mr Welles said such a change would be considered to have occurred when a free and independent Government lost its independence and came under duress. He added that Dutch possessions were not affected, because the Netherlands Government was operating freely in London. Mr Welles refused to express an opinion on the French Government.
