R EDITORS AMAZED -~ BYTIREINDUSTRY {Trip Convinces Latin Ameri- cans.That U. S. Has Soul and Artistic Sense. BY WILLIAM ULLMAN. COLUMBLUS, Ohio, April 29.—At the close of a busy 74 hours in Akron, #oing through the mammoth rubber plants in that city, the touring editors from Central and South America ar- vived in this city today to visit the Yniversity of Ohio. Perhaps at no yoint of their itinerary up to this time have they seen anything more fnteresting that the manufacture of wutomobile tires and rubber fy-nemlly. specially werd nterested in the making of rubber whoes for the ubiquitous fliv the rapidity with which th {urned out amazed them. Tlowever, it is not merely novelty these tourists are looking for. Their interest in what they see is more that of serious students of economic and social conditions. Many of them ere sending back to their papers by cable or by mail a daily report of the trip. The result, it was pointed out by Larlos C. Reissig, editor and publisher of El Telegrafo of Buenos Afres, will be a comprehensive interpretation of modern United States to the peo- le of South America, of a sort that as never before been possible in the history of pan-Americanism. Observers Well Qualified. * He pointed out also that the editors, mlmost without exception, are men well qualified to make such an inter- pretation and men whose opinions carry weight in thelr home territory. Many have high reputations not only in journalism_but also in other fields of endeavor. The party includes prom- inent engineers, doctors and educators, ©nd a number of former diplomats, governors and important government officials. Senor Relssig, himself a former dip- Somat and the present occupant of the chair of psychology in the Univer- sity of Buenos Aires, believes the trip will have greater effect in the promo- tion of friendly relations between the North and South American republics ihan all the Pan-American congresses that have preceded the First Con- gress of Journalists at Washington. “We all knew beforehand of your richness, your great buildings, fac- tories, mines and railroads, though I think it safe to say that what we liave seen exceeds the expectations of all of us. But from talking with the other delegates I know that the most fmportant discovery we have made is the fact that this country has a soul as well as dollars. ' Find U. S. Is Artistic. “In conversation among themselves my colleagues are saying that this is, after all, not merely a nation of dollar chasers; that you have here in abun- dant measure those qualities of hos- pitality and courtesy and that ability to appreclate the music and color of life which some of us southerners have been prone to attribute only to ourselves. “You will find that nine-tenths of the members of the party have been #o profoundly impressed by their re- ception on this trip that they are am- bitlous to return to the United States at the earliest opportunity for another visit. When you consider that for cen- turies we have been accustomed to turn to Europe as our playground, that attitude of mind is a significant one from the viewpoint of Pan-Amer- ican relations.” A hasty check of the party showed that Senor Relssig was literally cor- rect. At least a dozen others already are planning return trips to the United States, and others are plan- ning to extend their present stay. Senor Ressig has purchased an ex- pensive automobile in which he and his wife will drive to the Pacific Coast after the conclusion of the present tour. Sees Olose Association. “Speaking for myself, I am convinced that pan-Americanism, far from being merely a sane and optimistic phrase as some have said, is really a force that some day will be the most im- portant fact in world politics,” the ‘Buenos Aires editor continued. “I more than ever belleve that North, South and Central America are growing with increasing speed to resemble each other, not only in respect to national aspirations, but also even In national habits and customs of life. “The barrier of language, the most important that lies between us, rap- idly is disappearing, as is evidenced by the fact that nearly every mem- ber of this party, for example, speaks both Spanish and English. We are growing to know each other not mere- 1y by hearsay, but intimately.” “To me the future seems plain. In another 50 years the republican peo- ples of this hemisphere, with vast| natural resources at their command and with a man power that even now numbers 250,000,000, will consti- tute a homogeneous economic and po- litical unit. The American republics will be setting the pace to which the rest of the world will march. “As native of the Argentine, the first member to withdraw from the League of Nations, I say that com- pared with the Pan-American Union the league is a childish fantasy.” Tonight the party will be in Toledo as the guests of John N. Willys TRADE COMMISSION PROBES ‘AD’ AGENCIES Discount by Newspapers Under |2 Scrutiny in Charges of Unfair Competition. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 20.—The agency commission in nespaper advertising. an established factor for many years, today came under the scrui Federal Trade Comni ing charges of unfair competition in newspaper advertising. The trade commission seeks to de- termine the fairness of the practice of newspapers allowing advertising agen- cies 15 per cent discount, whereas the rates quoted to_direct advertisers are not subject to this discount. The complainants were not made public, although representatives of several firms using large amounts of space were present. The respondents named were the American Advertising Agents' Association, the American Newspaper Publishers’ Assoclation, the Southern Newspaper Publishers’ Association, the Amerlcan Press As- sociation and the Six Point Lead, RIFFSWILL REPLY ‘TO TERMS MAY T Accept Franco-Spanish De- mand for Peace Action. Tribesmen Make Attack. By the Associated Press. OUJDA, French Morocco, April 29.— The Rifflans have accepted the Franco- Spanish demand for a reply to their peace terms before May 1. A courier from Abd-el-Krim was expected to ar- rive from Targuist during the after- noon, and when the conference recon- venes at 6:30 o'clock this evening a decisive turn in the negotiations *ither toward war or peace Is expected. Tribes Redpen Warfare Tribes which have been dickering with the French and Spanish for peace have opened hostilities, necessi- tating French artillery reprisals. Several French soldiers were killed or wounded when Rifflans led by Beni Mestara went on the offensive against the French vyesterday. ire from French field artillery quelled the dls order. The Spanish occupicd new posi- tions in the Melilla sector. Si Mohammed Azerkane, Abel-el- Krim's representative. to whom Gen. Simon. the chief French delegate, made representations over the attack by Beni Mestara's men, has promised to take up the matter personally so that there will be no recurrence of such incldent: The concensus of opinion in French and Spanish circles is that an offen- ! sive necessitating extensive military operations will be required to bring the Riffians to terms, but that both France and Spain are anxious to place | the responsibility squarely on the Riffans. Attitude Is Explained. The French and Spanish viewpoints have been fully explained to the Rif- flans during negotiations for two days and the Riffians have been asked to state their intentions. Looming threateningly behind all other questions s the demand that Abd-el-Krim, the Riffian war lord, leave the RIff. The question of an independent Riff with a free Morocco seems to have been dropped by these delegates. POSITIONS STRENGTHENED. Spanish Announce Advance of Troops to Join French Front. MADRID. April 29 (#).—An official communication issued by the war of- fice_says: “The French have carried out along their front a wide forward movement toward thelr future bases of opera- tion, including that territory inhabit- ed by tribesmen who recently deserted Abd-el-Krim. “Jointly with the French, the Span- ish forces also have advanced in the Melilla sector, where they occupied new positions along Xeman River, so that the Spanish position at Azib de Midar now is joined to the French po- sition recently established in the Mtalza tribal country.” e BRICKLAYERS WANTED.
