le Selection of delegates to the Second Congress of Latin American Universities, to
be held in Santiago 23 November - ? December 1953, will be made by the rectors of
each Latin American University. Invitations have been sent; to rectors of all Latin
American universities and about 80 foreign delegates are expected to attend. There
is no central con>missiori'in Chile to 'pass on and accredit the delegates, and the
composition 0f' the Congress will therefore depend to a large extent on the orientation
of the rectors.
26 There are no'known Communists connected with the'organizing commission or'executive
coitinission in Chile; on 'the contrary, known anti-Communists are prominent. The
Chilean delegation has'not been chosen, but it is expected to conform closely to the
composition of the organizing commission.
