The welcome which 1, therefore, extend to vou in the name of the zoverninz hoard of the Pan-American Union -is combined with the earnest wish not only for the success of this congress, but also for the full fruition of those larger services which the press of the continent is called upon to perform.’ Envoy Stresses Respon: Francisco Sanchez Latour. the Min ister from Guatemala and vice chair- man of the governing board of the Pan-American Union, following Mr. Kellogg on the program, said that when a sage of the western world remarked that the pen was mightier than the sword he probably ‘was not aware that 2.000 years before a wise man of the East spoke thus: “The greatest of all victories is not the vietory gained in battle; the zreatest of all victories i that zained without riving battle.’ ” ““The greateést of all victories, as 1 visualize it, is represented by the triumph of public opinion, and public mission that apinion itself is moved and swared by public discussion, made péssible nnly By the press,”” Mr. Latour sald. | {“Uninfluenced by governm con- itrol, or by those interests which. on nceasions, seek to mislead or biind the (poople for their own selfish ends. the iful an Instrument for good as they are today, for there exists a growing passion to learn the truth and to tell {the truth, come what may, that real ianlightment may follow.

T look to see great results follow this important conference which will be of vast immediate bene- fit 1o us and to the generations to come.” Walter Williams Speake. To this Juan Cueva Garcia of Guay- aqull, Ecuador, responded for South America, and Dr. Walter Williams, Aean of the School of Journalism of the University of Missouri and presi- dent ‘of the Press Congress of the World, which fs to meet in Geneva next October, for the newspaper men of North America. Dr. Williams de- clared that “every journalist is an ambassador; journalism is the world's show window, the mirror which re- flects the other nations to us, and, in 1urn, ‘reflects us to the other nations “We have the key to the world [+ Williams continued. “Let us see hat it shall not be stained with blood. but that it shall prove a golden key to | everiesting* triendship. Let us, the pan-American journalists, wuse this key to unlock the door where the whole world may look upon an era of peace and prosperity and progress. A minute later Commissioner Cuno H. Rudolph presented the delogates with a key in fact. It was a large golden key, symbolic of the freedom of the city and the country, Mr. Ru- sald, “for the people of the National Capital and of all the repub- Ji6 bid you a warm wielcome, and this is tangible evidence that the freedom of the Nation is yours.” It was only the third time in history that this key has been presented to a hody of visitors. Mejia Makes Acceptance. iVidal Mejia of the Honduran Press Assoclation accepted the kev with a few well chosen words. Immediately afterward, Frank B. Noyes, president of the Asséclated Press, called at- tentisn to the fact that the rules for the congress provided that resolutions sheuld be approved by a majority uate of the delegates present, and thet the same applied to the election nb the permanent chairman and the «¥iee chairmen. . Pointing out there is a preponder- #fice of delegates from the United States at this congress, Mr. Noyes moved that the rules be amended to provide that these questions should « he settled by a majority vote of the nations represented, instead of dele- mates. There was some objection to this by visiting delegates, who in- sisted that the congress 's a gather- ing of newspaper men ~working to- gether and not a gathering of nations. ‘The. résolutions were carried by a substantial majority. however, and a few /phinutes later Dr. Williams was “which has so recently Ween rent asunder by strike” Amer- jea. is called upon to give an example _vour ddition thereio. we | ewspapers have never been so pawer- | tU'pper, left to right: Carlos D.

The report on this topic was pre- sented by Dr. Jorge Mitre, editor of La Nacion. Buenos Afres, Dr. Mitre declared that no vehlele is compara- ble to the press for the development of closer relations between the Amer ican republics; but since the means of intercommunication, espacially he- | tween fthe countries of Central and | South America, ave ai present very limited and very irrezular, the news. papers of one couniry that should carry through-the mails to another country important news serving to ce ment the nations cannot do so.

Therefore it will not be the press alone that will | create this htercourse between the peoples of America, but the telegraph. used discreetly and intelligently hy the press.” | Dr. AMitre pointed out that Nerth | American journalists should remember that a mere statement of things that have happened does not serve fo satis. fy the needs of Latin readers. He Qquoted Senator Hiram Bingham in al- luding to the racial differences, in the course of which he said of the citi- zens of the United States. “We are southern neighbors, it is difficult for s to visualize the meaning of print- ed statements aboit countries that we have, never seen. \When the South ‘American hears the figurds of our commerce, learns the height of our akyscrapers, and -listens to the e: pense of the benefactions of our lead ing philanthropists, he cannot heip from feeling an overpowering sense of the greatness of the United States.” Hits Trivial News. The increasing amount of trivial news that is carried by the large press assoclations in the United States was criticized by Willis J. Abbot, editor of the Christian Science Monitor, who followéd Dr. Mitre on the program. Mr. Abbot regretted this condition particularly because much of this ma- terial finds its way into the Latin. American . countries and gives them an untrue picture of life in this country. Even - the foreign cor- respondents accredited 1o the United States from Latin-America, the speaker declared. are misled by glar- Ing headlines in the more sensational American papers and.they overlook the real news in attempting to fill the cables with such misleading material. Mr. Abhot especidlly deplored the apparent lack of interest in South American affairs among American readers.

The press is the greatest instrument for that control.” he said. Rodrigo de Llano of Mexico, told the conference that the selection of newe in the United States, and in the South American republics, alike should be made with a view 10 reveal- ing better the souls of the countries 10 each other. The Latin-American countries need more dispatches written by persons who are better acquuinted with the ‘Latin-American mind, he said. A number of other speakers substantiated this view. Dr. Mitre called attention to the growing cult of art in the Americas. He also said that it did not appear to bim to be outside the mission of the Pan-American Union to undertake to establish an organization for the orlentution of vegulations covering athlatic contests. He suggested the appointment of A committee that, act- ing as a superior authority, should establish the bases upon which con- tests of this kind showld he held. pro- de the requirements for their organi- tion and development, adjust upon quitable principles the details con- cerning the appointment of umpires and special rulings, and likewise con- stitute itself as a tribunal of last ap- peal. if it is necessary. “It is not in my mind to suggest,” he sald, “that your worthy presiding officer should 'hold the watch and make the count over a fallen prize fighter. or have 1o dodge in a foot ball match in which he acts as referee. but without doubt the prestige of author- ity such as that of the governing hoard of the Pan-American Union, supporting In each ease the decision of the judze, would render every final dectsion incontrovertible, so that each one of these contests would constitute A step further toward mutual and friendly understanding between the sons of thik country and of our coun try Among BUS EXTENSION NEAR.

Although ~ foreign ofce officials state that Great Britain is bound by the Geneva decision noj o make fer ritorlal concessions to Turkey, it is nnderstood that this viewpoint is not shared ‘at the India ofMce and that Ambassador Lindsay has heen au- thorized to offer the Turks a geo- graphical frontler instead of the pres- ent strategic frontier. Many of the Kurdish trihes, whi ara halt nomad, are compelled to g6 up to the mountains during the Sum- mer in search of fresh pastures. Since all the crests are in Irak, there are countless cases of friction -beiween Turkish ‘subjects and Irak authorl- ties. In order to avold misunder- standings, the British are willing to cede to Turkey a strip of land some 60 miles long, which would include mountain peaks. The objection raised by military authorities that this would give Turkev a setrategle advantage 1is waved aside by India office officials, whe say Irak's actual defensive line bhégins some 30 milee from the actual frontier, 0 that the mountain peaks are of practically no Importance for irak's - defense. 1t im understgod Mr. Lindsay also has heen authorized to offer the Turks certain aconomie concessions and a substantial loan in case they agree to accept the British terms. Of course, all new arrangements are sub- ject to approval by the Teague of Nations, but British officials are con- fident the league will accept any ar- rangements reached between the interésted countries. | (Copyright. 1028, by Chicage Daily News Co.) | OFFICIALS CONGRATULATE | SIXTH STREET SYNAGOGUE | Dawes and Cabinet Members Send q"eflln.s on Eve of Golden Jubilee.
