Paulo Hasslocher, proprietor _of A. B. C., Gazata de Noticias and Rio Journal, all of which are published in Rie de Janeiro, Brazil, expressed himself as follows: “I find that tendencies in Brazil have changed, especlally within the iast 25 vears. There was a time when England and France exercised a great influence In Brazil. Today there is a great leaning toward the United States. FEighty per cent of our exports go to the United States. so that in the materlal field as we as in the cultural there may be noted & growing friendship between the two great republics of the American Continent. Manuel Garcia Peluez. who has come to the congress as a delegate of the dally newspaper, Kl Mer- curfo, of Antofagasto, Chile, ex- pressed the opinion that “the suc- cess of the congress is self-evident, mostly because of the friendship formed among the delegates of His- panic America who never have a chance to get together, as well as because of the friendships formed with North Americans.

If the journalist ‘holds in his hand the formation: of public opinion he should interest himself in those problems which up to now have pre- vented the realization of the Pan- American ideals.’” Joao Castaldl,. editor and director Shrine for Holy Memories Between the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and Tidal Basin, in Potomac Park, there is to be erected soon a beautiful memorial tempie to both the dead and the living who represented the District of Columbia in the armed forces of the great World War. " As both a memorial and a place whére military concerts may be heid, the classic structure will serve a dual purpose. Of exquisite beauty, dignity and Greek simplicity, the temple be built of white marble. By it the names of those who made the sacrifice, not only for their country, but for you, will be preserved to posterity. Names will be placed either in the marble dome above or sealed within the sacred crypt of the corner stone. We appeal to every Washingtonian to contribute to this memorial ; to those for whom some one near and dear served, and to those not so favored. . Your contribution to the $200,000 cost of the memorial, whether it be for $1, $10, $100 or $1,000, or any intérmediate sum, should not be a burden, but a personal tribute to the one, out of all the 26,000 names to be en- shrined, who 'means the most to you.

He also said that the speeches presented before the cen- Rress up to date constituted in them- selves a code of pan-American jour nallsm. On the other hand, Alvarez Lara, director of El Guante, of Guayaquil, Eucador, was of the opinion that much time was being lost in sentimental discussions. He added, however, that the most beneficial result of the con- gress would be the dispelling of mis- understandings and said that the friendships formed here are of in- estimable vaiue. “Future congresses, said Mr. Lara, “should be organized in time, 80 that the subjects may be pre- sented to the delegates beforehand. in a clear manner. Regarding the United States, 1 must say that this country is even more marvelous than 1 bad expected.” The noted Mexican poet, Jose Juan Tablada. whom Kl Universal, a daily of Mexico City, has chosen as u dele- gate to the Firsi Pan-American Con- gress of Journalists, said that this congress constitutes a great opportu- nity for Latin Amerlcan countries to set forth in the United States an ex- position of their immense cuiture and in turn to learn something from this Nation, which has contributed so much to world progress.

He said: “I am sincerely thankful for the cor- dial manner in which we have been received. In my estimation, it is a good plan to perpetuate this idea of organizing the ournalists of the con- tinent. I belleve that the next con- gress should be held in one of the Latin-American countries, such as Mexico, Argentina, Brazll or Uru- guay. The great success obtained by the first Pan-American Congress of Journalists so far has been due in no small measure to the work of Dr. Rowe, director-general of the Pan-American Union.” Dr. Clemente Palma, proprietor of “La Cronica” of Lima, declared, “I believe that the congress is rather heterogeneous, but 1 have noted a spirit of inter-American cordiality. Regarding the usefulness of the con- gress, I belleve that it will not have any practical results, except that the personal contacts formed here will result at a later date in written com- munications and thus indirectly prove conducive to harmony.” Mr. Gom , who represents the Preas Assochution of Uruguay. an or- &anization consisting of 350 members and on ‘whose board ‘of directors there are represented all of the im- portant dailles of that republic, said that the value of the First Pan- American Congress of Journalists was inestimable.

The Senate committee also changed the bill to allow the oper- ator to apply to the Court of Appeals on a writ of error instead of a straight appeal, as provided in the House bill This change was made because the Senate committee felt the writ of error would prove a more expeditious procedure.
