WRIGHT. : . | ver's visit to the countries of Central and South America will inaugurate a better era in the political and economic relations of the twin continents ap- pears to be general on the Pacific Coast. The proposed tour is regarded as strikingly dramatic, yet entirely pru- dent. It is agreed that no dull or tim- id mind would have suggested it. But, in the view of the spirited people of this coast, the time for dull or timid minds in high American politics is past. There is abounding faith in Hoover—in his knowledge, in his judgment, in his tact. Two Leaders Interviewed. The correspondent has talked with two outstanding men of the Pacific area—one distinguished in education and political thought, the other known throughout the world for his mastery of principles of modern business. The men referred to are Dr. David Starr Jordan, chancellor emeritus of Leland Stanford University, and Capt. Robert Dollar, “the grand old man of the Pacific,” the former 77 and the latter 83 years old. Dr. Jordan smiled all the time he was talking, for he was talking of “his boy”—Hoover. ‘What do I think of this South American idea?” repeated the old edu- cator. “Well, wait a minute. Let me tell you what I think of Hoover and Mrs. Hoover. Hoover was one of the first students here—also his wife. The boy didn’t seem to care about grad- uation. All he cared about was geology. And Mrs. Hoover, too—a strange thing. Ladies as a rule aren't interested in geology and mining. Both were splendid students. Both have turned out splend- idly. I don’t know a wiser woman than Mrs. Hoover. She will be of the greatest possible assistance to her husband in South America and in Washington. Hoover Declated Capable. “Hoover is an extremely able man, admirab'e in character, deeply sympa- thetic, filled with fervor for humanity— mot only American, but for all humanity. ‘The idea that he is narrow and sordid, nationalistically mean, is wholly wreng. He will prove that it is wrong. America will not be disappointed in the propor- tions of this man’s heart. I know him. I have known him nearly all his life.” Dr. Jordan paused for a moment and then snapped out: “You see, I am emphatic.” “Yes,” the writer replied,” and you quite expect Mr. Hoover's qualities to produce a good effect among our Latin neighbors?” “I do quite expect that. I should, think it inevitable. This ject—the first of the kind in our national annals —shows stal anslike imagination of the first order. It also shows energy and rational daring. For all too long a time South America and North America have been foolishly apart in spirit. They belong together. Neither ‘wishes the other harm—neither ccn af- ford to see the other harmed. Hoover is not going down there as an emissary of imperialism. Only the other day he took pains to say so, and those who know him had no need to have him say so.” ;‘Wl.ll his visit promote business?" Seen as Aid to Business. S«Certainly, business for our neighbors and for ourselves. Why? Because it will promote good will, and good will is the only foundation or security of busi- ness. Hoover goes as an envoy of peace, and whoever goes S0 goes as an envoy of business. How can we improve our trade with South America? Only by co-operating with her to the end of in- creased South American prosperity—an ‘utter economic commonplace, but by no means invariably understood. “Will our Latin friends object to the ’mnlabed to back up the “double the Special Dispatch to The Star. 'NEW ORLEANS, La., November 19.— Outlining the plans which he has for- membership” slogan for the coming year, President William Green made it clear that the American Federation of Labor conventon which opened here today is not to pass as an incident in Southern life. Mr. Green's outline of the program came at the conclusion of a meeting of the executive council held to consider last-moment matters to go before the convention and to deal particularly with the Southern situation, in which the president is deeply interested. Will Organize South. “Organizing work is to have our particular attention during the year,” said President Green, “and particularly organizing work in the South. Steps have been taken for an interstate con- ference of labor representatives in the South, in which these labor men will survey the condition in all Southern States. They will plan organization work and also will delve into the legis- lative situation. The program then will be to set up a standard of labor legislation toward which labor in all Southern States will aim. “Florida, for example, has no work- | men’s compensation law at all. In this State, I am informed, women work as long as 12 hours a day. An eight- hour la* for women was passed by the House in the last legislative session in this State, but failed to get a hearing in the Senate. It will come up again in the next session. “Our labor men of the South feel the situation keenly and they are preparing to make an organized effort toward modern, uniform labor laws govemlng child labor, night work for women an children, proper protective laws for woman workers, prison labor legislation and inspection laws. Industrial Trend Cited. ~ “The movement of industry toward the South in the hope of cheaper and less militant workers is stirring the South. The principal industry to move in 'this way up to this tume is the tex- tile industry, but others are being urged to come and others will come, espe- wmeq&pw WILLIAM GREEN. cially with the develcpment of power. | So, the effort of Sowthern workers to raise their standards is of interest to emplo, ers North and South and to wage earners North and South. “In the Piedmont district of North Carolina we have demonstrated that joint organizing movements, in which all organizations in a section join in a centrally directed campaign, can suc- ceed. We hope to promote more such campaigns.” Not for more than a decade has an American Federation of Labor conven- tion been held in the South, except for one in Texas, far removed from South- ern industry. What the effect will be is being speculated upon generally by labor representatives and is being watched for by employers. Mr. Green called attention to nu- merous predictions by national em- pleyers in which the industrial future of South is painted in glowing col- ors. He declared it his conviction that there could be no glowing future for the South or any section that sought low wages and long work days, giving it as_ labor's conviction that such a condition means a commodity surplus that cannot be consumed in the home market and cannot all be sold abroad. “Our program looks toward pros- perity for all,” he said, “and we hope to convince the South that its indus- trial and social salvation lies in the well- through good living and working con- ditions and through adequate wages for the workers. It is but the beginning. ‘We hope it will be an inspiration lead- ing to definite results, not in a narrow sense, but in a broad sense, for the whole people.” (Conyright. 1928.) HOOVER AND PARTY ARE READY TO SAIL ON GOOD-WILL TRIP (Continued From First Page.) Latin American Republics Against American Imperialism.” A third bore the words, “Fight Against Imperialist Wars. Not a Cent, not a Man, not a Gun for Imperialist Wars. A fourth had the figure of a man with uplifted arms, colored red, and over the head was the word “Communist.” As soon as Secret Service men caught sight of the signs they rushed the group, and one of the youths fell to the ground. The others disappeared in the confusion. The captured young man was dressed like a student and ap- peared to be about 25 years old. He said nothing as police led him away. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover did not know about the incident until afterward, as they were standing in the glare of torches and flashlights on the r;:r p}‘?:: orm, hotographed. e {urbl.n:eemd‘(dpmt interfere with the arty farewell accorded the President- :fecz };Iy the large crowd of Palo Alto Mr. Hoover, was waiting in San Pedro to say farewell. A whole carload of trunks was in the baggage car, plastered with stickers on which was printed “U. S. S. Maryland- U. 8. S. Utah,” prominent among the luggage were brand-new top hat cases and wardrobe trunks, bespeaking the sartorial splendor with which the party —newspaper men and all will invade the tropics. There was one catastrophe that threw a damper on the dress preparations, however. One correspondent who had wired to Chicago several days ago for his full dress clothes received his pack- age by mail shortly before the train’s departure, only to find the folk back home had forgotten to include his dress trousers in the bundle. He plans to go pants-hunting in South America. BATTLESHIP UTAH UNDERWAY. Leaves on Voyage to Buenos Aires, ‘Where Hoover Will Embark. NEW YORK, November 19 (#).—The battleship Utah, on which President- elect Hoover will return from the east coast of South America, steamed out of the Brokolyn Navy Yard yesterday for Hampton Roads, Va., to take aboard fuel and stores for the voyage to Buenos Alfres, where Mr. Hoover and his party {not yet “physically fit” to accept their | leans for 25 years. | Green, president of the federation.

HIGH COURT ACCEPTS NOTED PACIFIST CASE Citizenship Rights of Rosica Schwimmer Involved in Peti- tion for Review. ‘Whether a woman pacifist may be ad- mitied to citizenship is the question involved in the case cf the United States vs. Rosica Schwimmer, which the1 Supreme Court today consented to Teview. Miss Schwimmer, a native of Hun- gary, originally came to this country to visit and leture, but afterward filed a petition for naturalization in the United States District Court at Chicago. The court denied her petition because of her prénounced views es a pacifist. It held that as a pacifist she could not take the oath to support and defend the Consti- tution and laws of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domes- tic, @s is provided in the naturalization act, and found that she was not there- fors “attached to the principles of the!

Good manners are a mighty force among peoples of Spanish blood. ‘The Maryland, I am sure, will carry only good manners to the South. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover, at any rate, I cannot conceive of as giving offense to culti- vated mankind anywhere.” Opinion of Capt. Dollar. As the writer found Dr. Jordan in a Tetreat delightful to the man of science and letters, so Capt. Dollar was found in a place appropriate to the man of business—on the tenth floor of his own tall building in the roaring vortex of San_Francisco. “Friendship,” said the old gentleman, who is the very picture of Uncle Sam, “is my idol. I have worshiped it for many @ long year, and my devotion grows with the deepening whiteness of my dair. 1 believe in friendship be- tween you and me—you sitting there, 1 sitting here. Our personal meeting ‘will make us friends or we cannot be made friends. So between the ex- ponents of different classes and ideas. So between nations. “Mr. Hoover goes to Central and South America to meet persons of in- fluence there face to face. He goes primarily not to seek business, but to seek friendship, without which neithes business no humanity is possible. He has my confidence and my blessing. I have made 34 trips to the Orient and ‘have gone around the globe six times. “The last circuit I made—just re- eently—I personally called upon 60 men and made friends of them. How many called upon me I cannot say. They were almost legion, and they have become my friends. “Mr. Hoover understands the value of friendship and nothing else in him | makes him quite so valuable for the South American job and for the presi- dency of the United States as does this understanding. The world of the future ¢ 1s going to tolerate only those leaders ‘who strive for friendship and peace.” WOMAN CONFESSES T0 BRUTAL MURDER undreds of men, women and children i‘hnud breathlessly after the gradually receding car for more than a block. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover waved and laugh- ed at the energetic efforts of the 'marathoners. Many Call at Hoover Home. More than 200 neighbors of San Juan Hill and vicinity paid individual calls at the Hoover home yesterday aft- ernoon. The line of men and women filed steadily through the living room, shook hands and bade their friends Godspeed, and filed out again. Roads leading to the heights were cluttered with automobiles loaded with well- wishers and plain sightseers. Before the informal reception Mr. and Mrs. Hoover, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Hoover, jr., and Allan, attended unde- nominational services in the beautiful Stanford Memorial Church and heard the university chaplain, Rev. Dr. Charles Gardner, invoke Divine protection on “those who are 'embarking on this pligrimage of peace and good will” The closing hymn was the old com- position of J, B. Dykes, which goes, “O Trinity of love and power, our brethren shield in danger’s hour from rock and tempest, fire and foe—protect them wheresoe’r they go.” ‘Warning Against Atheism. Dr. Gardner, in his sermon, sounded a warning against atheism, defended evolutionism and characterized funda- mentalism as “the present-day blight.” He voiced a plea for advanced knowl- edge and greater tolerance. Returning to their home on the hill, the Hoovers had as a dinner guest, Mark L. Requa of San Francisco, Re- publican campaign manager for Cali- fornia. Mayor Rolph of San Francisco also called to say goodbye, Among the neighbors who called. later were Dr. David Starr Jordan, chancellor emeritus of Stanford Unfversity; John L. Mc- Nab, who placed Hoovers name before the Kansas City convention; half a dozen members of the Stanford faculty, who had taught the President-elect | during his college days. Col.

The Solicitor General petitioned the Supreme Court to review the case, maintaining that a person who is un- alterably opposed in principle to the bearing of arms by any citizen in de- fense of the United States is not eligi- ble to naturalization.
