Approximately 200 representatives of many of the biggest contracting and building concerns in the United States this morning convened at the Wash- " ington Hotel for a five-day conference under auspices of the Associated Gen- eral Contractors of America for a study of a national safety campaign, day labor and many other current’ problems before the industry. Following an organization session the conference adjourned shortly before noon in order that the. contractors might attend the opening sessions of the annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, to } which many of the construction ex- perts are delegates. Report on Year's Work, Sumner Sollitt of Chicago, presi- @ent of the Contractors’ Association, called the meeting to order, and the principal speaker of the morning was \Brig. Gen. R. C. Marshall, jr., Re- serve Corps, U. S. A, who made a report on the work of the association during the year. ~Gen. Marshall, a Washington resident, who served in the construction division of the Army {during the World War, now is gen- eral mangder of the association. ‘At the opening of the session the | delegates paid a tribute of respect to Lthe late W, O. Winston, known as the {dean of the construction industry of the country; former president of the A. G. C., who died about a month iago. Mr. Winston, among other works, constructed 11,000 miles of rail- road in Western States during his ac- tive career of more than 50 years. The conference this afternoon was to take up a discussion of the prac- tices of some Federal and State gov- ernment departments in carrying on public construction projects by em- ployment of day labor without throw- Ing the work open for formal bids by !private contractors. A bill designed 10 limit this policy in Federal depart- ents was introduced at the last on’ of Congress by Representative {Campbell of Pennsylvaania and was favorably reported to the House. 00 te for final action. Safety Plans to Be Studied. A study of plane for intensifying the safety campaign launched by the mssociation several months ago also was scheduled for late today. Re- yorts on safety measures employed on great construction jobs over the country was to be made by a number of contracting experts. Equipment depreciation, income tax tatements, awarding of contracts, ar- bitration, standard short forms of cost summaries for grading work, the equipment charge and bonding practices in the high- ruction work were among cal problems on the pro- cussion tomorrow Sightseeing and social events also /il be held throughout the week for delegates and their wives., Mrs. Sum- wife of the national presi- this afternoon was_hostess at the Washington Hotel of the contractors’ ending the conference executive board of the assc the advisory board, the pres council and the secretarie WORDS OF WELCOME TO CONFERENCE BY COLOMBIAN MINISTER | (Continued from Fourth Page.)

Factors of Production. “These great factors of production find the indispensable element for their prompt and complete development in American eapital. Circumstances have contributed to facilitate and foster in no small measure that co-operation. The United States, transformed into the financial center of the world, both in its bankers and economists, turn without hesitation toward South Amer- ica as a fitting place for the invest- ment of those funds which the present prosperity of this great Nation permits to be exported. This attitude is of transcendental benefit to Latin Amer- ica, permitting, as it dees, the realiza- tion of public works, sanitation proj- ects and other undertakings affecting public welfare and civilization, the | execution of which would otherwise have been delayed for decades. The credits opened in the United States to the governments, municipalities and private corporations of Central and South’ America in the last 10 years be likened to a fecundating wave, with respect to the general prosperity, which may be noted today throughout this continent. “An event of such importance as this cannot, fail to give rise to reflec- tions and conclusions as to the pos- sible consequences, not only from the economic but also from the political standpoint. Indeed, there do not lac those who proclaim the existence of danger to those counfries who in such magnitude are assuming the role of debtor nations. Nor are there lack- ing those who add that such a move- ment of capital constitutes a form of economic imperialism with the inevit- able consequences in the political fleld. | “Responding to one of those objec | tions, the President of the Republic of | Colombia recently set forth the follow- ing concepts which, 1 venture to be- lieve, present in a v exact form the | ethi pects of this question in so far as it touches the debtor nations *“*The nation which lives in peace, guided by institutions which respect the most precious rights of nationals and aliens, whose government is both prudent and respectful in the use of its mandate, whose administration of justice is »solutely clean and upright, need have no fear for her sovereignty and independence, except when those who are sworn to guard these com- promise them in pacts or treatles or, | when contracting loans, guarantees |mm«1ilmns are stipulated which n affect them, in certain eventualities, | however, remote, if as | contracted. | ‘With respect to the point of view of the United States, permit me to| quote a few words from an address delivered recently before the Geor Washington University the Under- | secretary of State, eph Grew, in refuting existing opinions with re spect to financial -or economic im | perialism on the part of the United tes ‘Such a policy, or measure taken | in line with such a policy, would be in | disaccord with the fundamental princi- | ples of the American Government.

Y como no existe progreso material que no repose sobre una consideracién espiritual, hay derecho para pensar que todas estas labores son, o deben ser, el cumpli- miento de una de las fases de aquel propésito mas comprensivo que el Presidente de los Estados Unidos sefialaba en una ocasién solemne—el de la paz continental: “‘A menos que domine donde quiera el anhelo de la paz—decia el Presi- dente Coolidge—a menos que la fuente fundamental y natural del amor fraterno sea. cuitivada en alto grado, todos los esfuerzos serin arti- ficiales y vanos.

I might touch perhaps on one question and that is the function of triangular trade.” Great Common Pool. Mr. Hoover pointed out that there is a great deal of discussion that each Nation should make its purchases in those countries where it sells it prod- ucts and thus baldnce its trade with direct business. “But there is no economic founda- tion, in fact, and if it were put into action an attempt to set any one country on the basis of its direct trade would destroy its entire prosperity. The great web of international trade is no longer a direct exchange be- tween two countries. It flows into a great common pool and finds its com- mon balance.” As the conference goes on, Mr. Hoover said, it will find a matter of important discussion in the question of our financlal relations as bearing upon this question of the domestic prosperity in each of the western re- publies. “The only country that has so far developed its resources to such an ex- tent that it has a surplus of capital is the United States,” sald Mr. Hoover. Hope for Kellogg. 4s chairman of the governing board of the Pan-American Union, Secretary Kellogg, in his address of welcome, expressed the hope that these confer- ences would mark a further step in the “fulfillment of the larger purposes of pan-American unity.” His assurances that the Govern- ment and the people of the United States “are seeking no special privi- leges” and desire only to “foster the closest possible understanding with the governments and nations of Latin America evoked a round of applause from the foreign delegations. ‘While mindful of the large part played by commerce in the develop- ment of this closer understanding, Secretary Kellogg explained, the gov- erning board in calling the conference was equally conscious that increasing commerce “can only attribute to bet- ter international feeling when it is dominated by a spirit of fair-dealing and accompanied by the utmost good faith.” “These conferences will afford the opportunity for a frank interchange of opinion on all matters relating to the commercial interests of the Amer- icas,”” he said. “Out of your discus- slons there will emerge a clearer con- ception of the measures which each of us must take in order to remove any obstacles to trade and to pave the way for an. ever-increasing change of commodities between the nations of this continen: Solution of Problems. In addition to strengthening these commercial ties, Secretary Kellogg pointed out, the conferences give ex- pression to one of the aspects of that larger movements “which with each ear is making more apparent the ssential unity of interest as well as NGTON, .| people of the United States desire to inter- OFFICIAL PROGRAM FOR CONFERENCE.

Chamber of Commerce of of America at its home, 16 since the first one at Washington in 1889, Mr. Kellogg declaréd, “have laid the foundation of an American system in the best sense of the word, a sys tem embodying the agreements for the orderly and peaceful settlement of pursuits, and for constructive co-oper- ation in the solution of common prob- leme.” “The development of this spirit of unity does not involve the slightest thought of antagonism to any other section of this world,” he said. “It is simply a recognition of the fact that the New World is confronted with a group of problems which have arisen out of the special circum- stances surrounding the settlement of our respective countries and that the most effective solution of these prob- lems is to be gained by constant inter- change of experience and by a care- fully planned co-ordination of effort.” In Entire Harmony. Mr. Kellogg declared “a firm basis for international sympathy and good feeling” is possible from the fact that the civilizations, the political ideals and the soclal development of all the Americas are in entire harmony and moving along the same lines. 'The polgts of resemblance that unite us are far more numerous and far more important than any differ- ences that may exist,” he said. “Pan-Americanism means some- thing far deeper than the existence of friendly relations between govern- ments,” Mr. Kellogg added. “It means above all things a naturally sympa- thetic understanding of all national ideals and purposes between the peoples of this continent.” This unity of purpose, he claimed, has become more and more evident since the people of the United States, over a century ago, followed the na- tions of TLatin America in their struggle for independence. “It is needless for me to say to you that the Government as well as the foster the closest possible understand- ing with_the governments and na- tions of Latin America,” he assured the delegates in concluding his address. Urges Frank Policy. Following Mr. Kellogg's address, a welcome was extended by Senor Dr. Enrique Olaya, the minister of Colom- bia and vice chairman of the govern- ing board of the Pan American Union. Dealing closely with the business and" financial relations between the Americas, Dr. Olaya warned that a “policy of frankness and good faith, fruitful in any fleld, yields a more magnificent harvest in the world of business than any other.” Recounting the commercial possi- bilities which he declared have become “great realities,” he said they have given rise to economlc and juridic problems of fundamental importance, which, perhaps for a whole generation to come, will occupy the close atten- tion of statesmen. Any concrete so- lution reached, he declared, must rest on the one great concept of justice. “And justice in this case” he said, ‘‘means an equitable consideration to- ward foreign capital invested in new countries and which is entitled to the guarantees afforded by security and confidence. It means,” he added, “jus- tice which means consideration toward the states possessing the riches which open the door to foreign capital, to |the end that such capital may enjoy the protection and jurisdiction of the sovereign law of each country; a jus- tice * * * unimpeded by disturbingn egolsms or jealousies.” ‘World's Financial Center. The United States, which Dr. Olaya declared is the financial center of the world, “turns without hesitation to- ward South America as a fitting place for the investment of those funds which the present prosperity of this great nation permits to be exported. “This attitude is of transcendental benefit to Latin America, permiting, as it does,” he added, ‘the realiza- tion of public works, sanitation pro- jects and other undertakings affect- ing public welfare and civilization, the execution of which, otherwise would have been delayed for decades. The credits opened in the United States to the goyvernments, munici- palities and private corporations of Central and South America in the last 10 years may be likened to a fecundating wave with respect to the general prosperity, which may be noted today throughout this conti- nent. Imperial Aim Discounted. “An event of such importance as this cannot fail to give rise to reflec- tions and conclusions as to the pos- sible consequences, not only from the economic, but also from the political standpoint. Indeed, there do not lack those who proclaim the. existence of danger to. those countries who, in such magnitude, are assuming the role of debtor nations.
