Moreover, Bustamente is strongly and convinecingly beyond all question Cuba’s first citizen. This is strange, indeed, for he is not a man of the balconies, or a celebrated dinner guest, or the source of topical anecdote. Is an Emphatic Man. Cuba’s fine cultural background picks him out as its pre-eminent exemplar. He is a short, stocky, emphatic man, who is still the pedagogue, even when, as today, his pupils are the statesmen of 21 countries. This personally noted jurist is the outstanding figure among the Latin delegates to the conference. He car- ries frankly on his face both his nation- ality and his acquired distinction. One looks twice and long at Busta- mente. His polished dome head is pink I‘-l‘!;;i shining, with a fringe of white r. ment—not even a watch chain, ring or pin. His shirt studs and tie are black. His forehead is that of the scholar, wide and full. A neat—almost goatee— beard outlines, without concealing, his full expressive mouth, while his hands, with extra long thumbs, have the de- liberate, retarded motion of & man who reflects much. Speech Commands Respect. In private conversation he is em- phatic, with a downright forefinger. ‘When he made his public speech today he showed his heavy forceful extended palm.

He believes the world will be governed by international law and is convinced that Cuba is destined to be the world's great- est nation. He did not mention this latter to the conference today, but in an interview could be warm and eloquent on this nationalist subject nursed in an internationalist bosom. He is in fact a rare man who has thought for g:nxs on a single subject and thinks is within sight of a litetime hope. ‘This is not considered extrava- eant today, although when Bustamente first voiced it it was regarded as reck- lessly radical. He wishes the whole world to live by mutually accepted laws, or as he puts it, to live “in such a way as to prevent the birth of problems and conflicts.” Is Native of Havana. ‘The newly elected president of the conference is not yet 64. He feels that he is a young man yet and hopes to his ideas accomplished facts. He is a native Havanese, the symbol of all that is fine in the Cuban character. He was | 37 when his first book made known his interest in international law. His works te is more than any other man the of the movement to- ward the definition and codification of intednational law. He refuses to talk politics. He thinks the Pan-American Union more useful than the League of | Nations, because “our alms and ics are not political, but social, ju 1 and economic.” He see no antagonism between the two organizations because the two pos- sess distant purposes. ‘One deals with purely American and the other with universal problems.’ Similarly he looks complacently on hispano-Ameri- canism. Equally with Pan-Americanism the Spanish tradition has function “and should subsist for the common good.” 8o far Bustamente is an internation- alist with a broad tolerant mind. Let him speak of Cuba, his own land, and he is a patriot of patriots. He thinks “Cuba inevitably will become the | greatest nation in the Western hemis- phere. Its destiny is indicated by its strategic geographical position.

Loving Cuban people well, Busta- mente sees in them all the qualities necessary to attain world leadership. Behind them he sees a rich fertile land —=a treasure house for the markets of the world. This is the man who leads the sixth international conference. (Copyright. 1928 in a North American” News, ) per ALBERT HARPER RITES. Member of D. C. Bar Will Be| Buried This Afternoon.

MEXICO CITY, January 19.—El Uni- versal in an editorial today said Presi- dent Coolidge’s address at Havana was lost in a sea of misty and sentimental inconsistencies and abounded in com- monplaces and contradictions with the facts. ‘The paper asserted that if Coolidge's speech was to be used for the interpre- tation of future international relations on this hemisphere, the meaning of words such as a liberty, law, defense and friendship would be alarming for the weak American nations whose only protection, acording to Coolidge, is found in a vague law by which the mighty are entitled to pay closer at- tention to the spirit rather than the text. Hits Nicaraguan Policy. BERLIN, January 19 (#).—Deutsche Allgremeine Zeitung, commenting on the Pan-American Conference, ironically cites the United States interference in Nicaragua as a patent illustration of President Coolidge’s assertion that the United States solves difficuities between American states withouutu recouurse to force. Coolidge’s speech leaves no doubt, the paper says, that the Monroe doctrine precedes the League of Nations, even though most American states are mem- bers of the league. Nevertheless, the paper declares, the United States never can and never will be an unconcerned spectator to Euro- pean events. Sincerity Is Praised. BUENOS AIRES, Argentina. January 19 (#).—La Nacion, editorially d'scu: President Coolidge’s spcech at i'x says that the President gave nroof through the sincerity of his words of the peaceful credo of the United Stat s although the paper believes that the weight of his words will be unable t dissipate completely the “clouds accu- mulated by the recent American policy in Central America.” The President’s address, the paper | said, constituted a high moral concep- | tion' of the American peoples being bound by a common link of solidarity and mutual understanding. Assails U. S. Policies. SANTIAGO. Cuba, January 19 (#) — Diario De Cuba, commenting editorially on President Coolidge's speech at Hav- ana, is exceedingly caustic in its criti- cism of American policles in Latin America. The paper says: “In spite of our desire to believe all that he says, we cannot remain silent Among other things, the President said: ‘An attitude of peace and good will prevails among the nations. One of its strong- est characteristics is the determination to adjust the differences between us Additional mmmmmmummumum{/—\/fix GOWNS N0 0 Salespeople to Serve You not by force of arms, but by the appli- cation of the principles of justice and equity.

Who were at Santo Domingo and did not leave until Santo Domingo was compelled to sign a treaty which tied them hand and foot?

MONTIVIDEO, Uruguay, January 19 (@.—La Plata, daily newspaper, in an editorial on President Coolidge's speech at Havana comparcd the President with Wilhelm Hohenzollern, former German Kaiser, at the time of the lat- ter's imperialistic dreams. The editorial terms the voyage of Coolidge to Havana “futile,” calls his speech at the opening of the confer- ence “largely unsubstantial,” and points to the display of force accompanying the visit. Paper Defends Speech. LIMA, Peru, January 19 (F).—In con- trast to the criticism heard in some Latin American newspapers about President Coolidge’s speech opening the Pan-American Conference in Havana, La Prensa, the official government or- gan, today had nothing but praise for the “serene and simple discourse of the defender of American democracy.” The newspaper’s editorial pariicular- 1y referred to 'what it termed the wholesome reiteration that “sovereign- ty of small nations is respected,” and cited as a striking example Cuba’s progress since her independence from Spanish domination ONE DEAD, TWO HURT IN CRASH OF AUTOS David Shiflett of Staunton Fatal- 1y, and Taxi Owner and Driver Seviously, Injured. Special Dispatch to The Star. STAUNTON, Va, January 19. —David Shiflett, 37 years old, of Staunton, State highway employe, was killed this morning near Mount Crawford, when J. H.

Since each delegation has only one vote in committee meetings, the num- ber of delegates from a country is ar- bitrary. The quarters provided by the Cuban | government for the committee meetings | are no less sumptuous than the great university hall in which the plenary sessions are held. They are mostly clissrooms, but exquisite in decoration and furnishing, as a rule with beautiful wooden desks and leather brass-stud- ded chairs. An adequate force of stenographers and secretaries has been provided for smoothing the mechanical part of the committee’s work. Delegates today regarded the future outlook of the conference with great optimism because of the spirit of co- operation displayed by those who par- ticipated' in the first plenary session. The nature of the opening speeches, delegates saif, had been most helpful in producing a good atmosphere for the initiation of committee work. The optimistic but sober tone of those ad- dresses, based on the consideration of | results already achieved and of the gradual attainment of distant ideals, | without arousing impossible hopes or dashing helpful ideas, appealed to com- mittee men as likely to prevent preju- diced and unfruitful discussions in com- mittees. > A short conferer®e of United States delegates was called by Chairman Hughes before the convening of the first committee today. The American delegates said that this would initiate a practice of daily discussion by them of questions requiring common counsel. Satisfaction with the progress so far | was voiced unanimously by the Amer- | icans. Calling attentiori to the cour- teous attention received from other delegates, they said that this was prob- ably due to a desire to set at rest re- ports heard before the convening of the that the United States | would encounter a hostile atmosphere.
