The Pan-American Conference meets in Panama with 21 countries participating. A 'security zone' ranging between 300 and 600 nautical miles is set up along the coast of each nation within which any act of war is to be interpreted as a hostile act against the nearby American country. The belligerents will, of course, ignore this.
