Freedom in the broadest sense
of the term, unrestricted by any
State, party or Vjower, was ad-
vocated by Dr. Hu Shih, one of
China's most eminent scholars j
and former Chinese Ambassador
to the United States, as one of
the main Considerations to be
included   In  the International
Bill of Rights which the Amer- j
ican Law Institute is drafting at
its 21st annual conference here.
Before several hundred legal au-
thorities and political scientists
gathered at the Bellevue-Stratfcrd
yesterday todiscuss a universal post-
wa doctrlne, Dr. 110 warned that
,the limitation of freedom win mean
it abnegation.

SPANIARD'S VI7TEWS
Julio Alvarez del Vayo, former
Foreign Minister of the Spanish Re-
public, suggested that no freedom
of speech should be granted to those
who deny liberty as do Fascists.
The new era after the war will
be an era of active defense of democ-
racy, he said. It will be h  era
of compulsory dewocracy wherein
Faiscli will be considered a crime.
No Faaeist or half-Fascist states
under eny form should be allowed,
to surlvve the war which Fascism
ba, inpoed upon the world.
