LIMATED AGENDA ON PEACE URGED Pitman Holds Success More Likely at Buenos Aires With Few Topics. (This is the fifteenth of a series of articles on the “New Pan-Amer- feanism” and the forthcoming peace congress in Buenos Aires.) BY BRENT DOW ALLINSON. Concentration upon two or three of the most pressing subjects in the im- portant Pan-American Peace Congress, to be held this year at Buenos Aires, is favored by Senator Key Pitman of Nevada, chairman of the Senate For- eign Relations Committee, as a means of achieving success in the meeting. “From considerable experience in conferences,” he said, “I have dis- covered the truth of the paradox that the briefer the agenda, the more is likely to be accomplished. “Although I have not yet been ap- proached or informed about the pro- gram of the conference by the State Department, I am deeply interested in it. Sooner or later, of course, our committee will have to be consulted, since the object in view is a treaty or treaties, for the improvement of re- lations with, and between, our Amer- ican neighbors. Concentrated Efforts Urged. “The more that we of the Senate ean know about the negotiations, therefore—and the earlier—the great- | er will be the chance of acceptance by the Senate of the treaty or treaties| that may result; and the less will be | the danger of blunder or failure, since | there are some subjects, of course, which would not be acceptable. I be- lieve it might be wiser to concentrate on two or three major objectives and | let the rest go over to another meet- Mr. Pitman was asked which he con- sidered most important of the six pro- posed topics of the preliminary pro- gram—juridical organization of peace, Pan-American neutrality policy, limitation . of armaments, inter- | American economic problems, increase ef cultural interrelations, permanent Pan-American Court of Justice, or & i — lou get the But \ b4 AT THE PRICE OF THE NEXT BEST Plus a Money Back Triple Guarantee HICKORY BOILABLE LATEX LATEX DRESS SHIELDS t, HICKORY So thin- YOU WON'T KNOW THEY'RE IN Money Back Triple Guarantee Withstand almost end- less boiling and ironing Lighter—cooler-yet weaz longer than any shield Bl Perfect satisfaction and S comfort—or money back BE DOUBLY SURE that you get the genuine “"Marvelite” by Hickory because: First— Substi- tutes cost more in the long run.

But a Pan-American, or con- tinental and co-operative, neutrall~ ty policy proclaimed by treaty is even more important now, in view of un- settled conditions abroad. Second to that, I should consider the funda- mental improvement of our economic relations and the enlargement of & valuable commerce with our American neighbors as most worthy of attention. For that, a reciprocal stabilization of our respective currencies—and per- haps the creation of & new Pan-Amer- ican unit of international exchange— ought to be considered. American League Seen. “A league of American nations may, perhaps, be the natural outcome of successful understandings concerning these two matters, as you tell me that Guatemala and others are suggesting, together with a widening of the Mop- roe Doctrine. If so, it will be, like our own Federal Union, the fruition of common political principles and dangers—the logical outgrowth of ap- prehension prevailing in all the Amer- ican nations today—requiring a shield against a common menace arising from the threats of foreign armaments, wars and war-makers, We ought to profit by the failures of the League of Nations, for conditions are funda- mentally, much better and more equit- able in the Western Hemisphere. We are not afraid of each other. None of us on this side of the Atlantic believes in the inevitability or virtue of war; none of us plan to wage it against our O’DONNELL'’S | CRAB IMPERIAL Friday, 11:30 Till Midnite Try this delicious plate dinner— Crisfield style, including clam broth, fried scallops.

That makes a very great difference—all the difference! about stabilization in Europe because of international distrust, the fear of , and the economic and political Amperialism of the great powers. We ‘cannot co-operate with them, because we feel that they have no honest in- tention of keeping the agreements and treaties that they sign. By contrast, what a golden opportunity we have in the Western Hemisphere! “At lesst, a silver opportunitv?” queried the writer. “Whether gold, or silver, or both,” replied the Senator from Nevada, “and the United States has been on & ‘bimetallic standard during most of its history—"“we need a de-facto currency stabilization if we arg to have an enlarged and confident commerce. We have a vast reserve of gold and silver in the United States—so great that it fs of little use to us. We have put much of it into a cave in Kentucky and mounted soldiers over it.
