DAVID JAYNE HILL PLEADS FOR PEACE, Tells Journalists American Nations Should Curtail Armaments. The wminds of the peoples of the new world should never be turned toward rurther armament than is _ strictly necessary for defensive purposes, Dr. David Jayne Hill told thé delegates to | the First Pan-American Journalistic Congress last night at a dinner in} their honor tendered by the Carnegie | Endowment for International Peace, | at the Willard Hotel. | Of all the banquets at which the pan-American journs ontertained since they s in sts have been | opened their Washington a_week ago, eclipsed that of the Car- ndowment last night, either the striking beauty of its setting or the cultural brilliance of its guests, for there were gathered in the ball- room the directing heads of many of the largest papers of the Western | Hemisphere. | As toastmaster, Dr. Hill, a trustee of the Carnegie Endowment, said it is an ancient custom in this country to drink a zle toast to the Pre: dent of the United States upon occa sions of public import. “Upon this occasion,” he added, “it appears, we may properly enlarge that tribute of respect by including in it all of the chiefs of state of the American re- ublics. 1 invite you. therefore. to se and lift your glasses to their health and prosperity and their union in every good cau Language Held Barrier. “We all recognize the fact that even in this neighborhood of the Western Hemisphere there are certain barrlers between us,” Dr. Hill sald in the course of his address. “One is tha of magnificent distances. S year that seems to be diminishing The time may come, if the possibill tles of “air navigation are made per- fect, when we may frequently invite you to drop down from the air and take & cup of tea at 5 o'clock. An- other barrier 1s language. That is difficult to overcome, but now that we have the radio we can at least enjoy the same music. Still another barrier is manners. We of the North are said to be cold, Stiff, formal, self-centered, calculat-} ing and incommunicative. You of the | South are sympathetic, gracious, pol- | ished, expansive and eloquent. But | in time we shall come to understand | one another better. And we have so | much in common—our political con- | ceptions, in matters of international | law and our ideas of human rights. | “We have a consequent sense of internationa! unity. We are a real | confraternity. Together we are Amer- | ica, and America, in a multitude of | its’ relationships, is one. Ernest| Lavisse. the great French historian. once sald: ‘American civilization is pacific; all the new nations grow and | multiply in peace. Peace seems to be | thelr vocation.’ And then he adds the | reflection that armaments ruin Bu- | rope and expresses the fear that the | wealth of America may in the future | lead to the production of armaments. | | Contentment Is Reason. | “But no, the tendency is not in that | direction. Let us resolve that ())Ef inds of our people shall never be rd further armament than | o : for defensive pur- | poses. 1 have asked m veelf what is the secret of that policy of peace which in the mind of the great French i torian is characteristic of America. I find it in a simple phrase—the content- : ment of each with his own. “In the councils of our American jurists it b agreed that mo | Sonquest of ’ should be con: do well to e that the conclu of our law of our hemisphere. But we should go one step further. We should consider that the prosperity of each is the most valuable contribution to the prosperity and happiness of all. “We recognize the fact that in your presence here, as representatives of the press, we have the advantage of intimate contact with the most po- tent agency for shaping the future of America_of any that exists in the world. We do not ask that you aid in any propaganda, but we look to you with confident expectation for the dif- fusion of the truth. We hope you will always have occasion to regard us as loyal friends and as friends of the millions of human beings who will expect from you the truth about the people and the purposes of the United States.” i Original Cartoon Presented. In the course of the evening Dr. Hill presented to Dr, Frederico Llave- rias of the Dominican Republic the original of the cartoon drawn by Clifford K. Berrvman of The Evening Star on the opening day of the con- gress. Dr. Hill explained that Mr. Berryman had personally requested that the drawing be presented to Dr. Llaverias as an expression of the ar- tist’s appreciation for the excellent address delivered by Dr. Llaverias at the ceremonies attendant upon the laying of the corner stone of the Na- tional Press Building last week. Representative Montague, another trustee of the Carnegie Endowment, said that peace might not come to the world overnight. “But” he added, “it is our inherent duty to try and’try again, and to educate the public for gencration after generation, until, eventually, they will see the futility of war.” Other speakers included Dr. James Brown Scott, also a trustee of he endowment, and Senor Luis Teofilo Nunez of Caracas, Venezuela. A musical program was presented by the Washington Quartet and by Ralon’s Orchestra. The quartet scored collective honors in thelr interpreta- t “‘Miserere,” from “Il Trova- * and the quartet from ‘“Rigo- while Mrs. Bowie and Fred East won ovations for individual ef- forts. Mrs. Bowle's rendition of “Long, Long Ago,” won especial praise. Guests of John L. Merrill. Yesterday afternoon the delegates were entertained at luncheon at the Mayflower Hotel by John L. Merrill, president of All-America Cables, Inc. Mr. Merrill welcomed the visitors with s that drew cries of “bravo” ve” from his guests. In part, “I have been keenly interested in this congress, and I trust that its in- fluence may be far-reaching. Yours is a mightystask, but you should glory in the opportunity. you possess. I glory in the fact that we have been a humble instrument to aid you in vour good work, and we éount upon ajding you more’ and more as the rs roll on. “In the 42 years that I have served in my company my constant ambition has been to develop the friendly rela- tions between the republics of all America. believe our ideals are similar, jdeals which mean the up- building of character and integrity. “In lunching one day in one of the suburbs of Buenos Alres, I stopped to ook at a bronze tablet fastened on the wall in the hall leading to the dining room. Imagine my surprise when I started to read the tablet—. “Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address”—and six of the children of my host couid recite the samme in English.

Evans, mill- fonaire shipyard magnate and oil man. Frank Ober, counsel for Evans. identified the writér as “Dwight Mead of Seattle.” Mrs ans, who asks $30,000 a year alimony, has named as co-respondent, “Pr Sristoff of Russta,” whom she alleges is none other than Mrs. Olga de Valliere of New York, and to whom she charges Evans gave $40,000 in three years. Attorney Ober told the court that Mrs. Evans, when confronted with the letters at previous private hearings before an examiner, had declared her friendship for Mead to be “purely platonic.” Vernon Cook, counsel for Mra, Evans, presented figures purporting to show Evans' income for the past six_years to have been in excess of $1,800,000, in argument against a plea by Evans that he is unable to pay Mrs, Evans' present temporary alimony of $500 a month. He related that Evans had testified before the examiner that he had advanced to the “Princess” approximately $1,000 a month for agents in Petrograd to keep in touch with the political situa- fon in regard to oil rights he said, “the princess” owned in Georgia, Southern Russia. Other items of the alleged $40,000 expenditure Cook said Evans ac- counted for as loans to “Princess Eris- toff” and miscellaneous expenses of the “Princess.” The attorney said Evans held no mnotes for the ad- vances but had entered them in his own personal expense account. -—— AIR STATION CHANGE.
