In his report Mr. Kirchner outlined the program, method and purpose of the Inter-American conferences. Every group meeting will start immediately with the concrete discussion of pi'actical prob­ lems which each student federation has to face. The C.I.D.E.C. or Ibero-Ameri- cano confederation consisting of Catho­ lic students from all Spanish-speaking countries, Portugese-speaking Brazil, Puerto Rico and the Philippines, will furnish a week of similar conferences on July 28, concurrently with the open­ ing of the Pax Romana conferences. The North American delegates will have held daily discussions of their Catholic stu­ dent life on the journey from New York to Colombia.

With each group so well fortified with knowledge of the peculiar problems of its own country the students will pro­ ceed in the following manner: A stu­ dent leader will briefly introduce the discussion by raising certain general problems relative to the special problem of the evening; delegates of the various countries will then outline the special difficulties they have encountered in meeting this problem and the new meth­ ods they recommend to correct them; then will follow the group evaluation of the reports presented with final recom­ mendations for general attack upon the stated difficulties and, if possible, par­ ticular advice to delegates. Notice that these conferences constitute a study iveek not concerned with numerous lectures of administrative problems. Each discussion will be upon some silent problem in the national and international cooperation ^^jDefu^j&ia Shoes of the Pax Romana organization and the method of reaching and enlisting each individual Catholic College student, or similar problems in the method of action for each group—^both within the Uni­ versities and without.
