MEXICO CITY, January 11—Busi- ness sesslons of the Pan-American Federation of Labor Congress|began hege today. Prominent on today’s program was consideration of varfous problems concerned with the announced inten- | tion of the congress to maintain good | relations among the laborers of North. South and Central America and Mexico. Although the arrival of many delegates was delayed, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, said the work of the convention would be pushed as rapidly as possible. The congress cléared the way for tod: iscussion late vesterday aft- by votipg, after considerable ate, to allow “fraternal delegates’ or those without credentials from any pan-American member of the con- gress, but interested independently. to have a voice in the present con- gress. but not in meetings to be held rk of the congress has been slowly because it has been to “translate all speeches panish to English, or vice Aside from the thirty-some tracted little attention yesterday. the visitors' gallery at no time holding more than a handful. J Proposals that a rival labor com- gress be held by radicals who have been ejected from the parent body have aparently borne no fruit. Although “the soviet of young Mex- iean workers” threatened to play & role during the congress, it was not expected that this organization would disturb the program, which, it is be- lieved. will be concluded this week. Yesterday afternoon’s session was devoted to the report by the creden- tials committee, which developed the fact that only Guatemala and Salva- dor of all the Central American re- publics have accredited delegate s here. Labor representatives from Santo Do- mingo, Porto Rico and several South American nations were expected to arrive here today.

England - Cangot Maintain Tradi- tion, Lord Rothermere Says. LONDON, January .9.—Viscount Rothermere, former sccretary of state for the air forces. in an article today in the Sunday Pictorial, under the caption, “The Folly of the Big Bat- tleship.” subfnits a startling conten- tion directly challenging the tradi- tional basis of the British naval pol- icy. The doctrine he propounds is that it is no longer possible for any | nation to possess command of the | Seas, lord Rothermere wholly condemns Rrifish participation in_big battle- ship rivalry with the United States and Japan because “they obviously are building against each other and not against us.” He urges that Great Britain cannot afford to spend any money-on naval construction at pres- ent. Furthermore, Lord Rothermere declares, “Jf the United States and Japan persist in pursuing antiquated forms of warfare, that is no proof the capital ship will survive.” and eoncludes that “no nation henceforth will enjoy naval supremacy. That's a nasty pill, but we must swallow it,” | he says. Is Your Conscience Clear? Have you saved one life when you could have saved many? 3 Have you saved NONE when you might have saved some?
