By Dr. L. S. Rote.
Editors Note. As Director General
of the Pan American Union and the
authorized general exponent of all the
Latin-American republics (22 In num
ber) Dr. Rowe is working energetically
and expertly to forward a combnied
effort on the part of the United States
manufacturers to Increase trade rela
tions. His article will be found inter
esting and greatly illuminating.
The dream of the civilized peoples
of the world since history recorded
civilization has been and is being
accomplished today on the Western
continent.
International disputes are being
settled before their activities have
more than been born. Hatreds are
smothered in the cradle. Injustice is
an unknown quantity. The sword has
indeed been beaten into a plow share
and this in the face of the cry,
"There will always be war."
While the great nations of the
world will view with suspicion even
the suggestions of peace overtures
that shall last forever, view with dis
trust the hopes of a universal dis
armament, cling to the weapons of
war with one hand while touching
the olive branch with the other, there
is before them an example of inter
national co-operation, of internation
al helpfulness, of misunderstanding
smoothed away across a table that
has been going on for years and
with each new year seeing a more
complete understanding and a closer
drawing together of the nations thus
affected.
Peace and Prosperity.
While the great nations of the
earth shout their civilization and
their desire for brotherhood and go
on with the ever-increasing program
of ships and guns the "Pan Amer
ican Union" goes on its way bring
ing peace and prosperity to its mem
bership and growing trust and con
fidence in its decisions.
Throughout the world, the masses
of the people are passing through a
period of disillusionment and disap
pointment. The high hopes enter
tained immediately subsequent to the
Great War, that the world was enter
ing upon a new era of international
good-will and co-operation have been
sadly shattered. Enthusiasm has giv
en way to moral lassitude and cyni
cism. The resurgence of selfish na
tionalistic and even imperialistic am
bition on the part of the peoples of
Europe has developed an atmosphere
of pessimism with reference to the
future of Western civilization.
The bitter experience of the last
few years has served to undermine
many accepted and hitherto unques
tioned beliefs relative to internation
al affairs. There is a growing feel
ing that the ruthless international
competition, which has characterized
world relations during the last cen
tury, has not produced the results
which were anticipated. Even those
countries that seemed to gain the
greatest advantage from this compe
titive system have often found those
advantages hollow and of little per
manent value. With this increasing
doubt as to the efficiency of interna
tional competition, there is a growing
feeling that the welfare of the mass
es of the people in all countries can
best be guaranteed through a policy
of international co-operation rather
than competition.
First Conference.
Since the first Pan American con
ference, held in 1889, under the
statesmanlike leadership of James G.
Blaine, there has been worked out
a policy of international co-operation
and mutual helpfulness amongst
the Republics of the American con
tinent which may well serve as an
example and inspiration to the na
tions of the world. For a period of
over thirtv vears. the dinlomatie re
presentatives of the American Re
publics have been meeting each
month, presided over by the Secre
tary of State of the United States,
to discuss matters of common inter
est and concern. Throuph such in
terchange of thought and opinion,
there has been created an atmos
phere of mutual trust and confidence
which has served to solve amicably
and through the reasonable and or
derly processes of discussion, a large
number of Drohlems which mipht
otherwise have become the source of
international irritation.
Even more significant than the
peaceful settlement of pending inter
national problems of the spirit of
mutual helpfulness which has found,
and which still finds its expression in
this organization the accumulated ex
perience of the entire American con
tinent is placed at the disposal of
each and every one of the Republics.
Whenever expert service is required
for the solution of any pending do
mestic problem, whether it is in mat
ters of education, sanitation, irriga
tion, or any other department of na
tional activity, the governments of
the American Republics are aware
that they can secure such expert ser
vice from the Pan American Un
ion. Through the intermediary of the
diplomatic representatives at Wash
ington there is a constant exchange
of information and experience. The
effectiveness of this interchange is
strengthened by the publications of
the Pan American Union, especially
the Spanish. Portuguese and English
editions of the monthly Bulletin, sup
plemented by descriptive handbooks
of each of the Republics, and special
publications relating to their foreign
commerce.
The Educational Section of the
Union, under the able direction of
the Assistant Director, Dr. Francisco
J. Yantes, is unremitting in its ef
forts to develop closer cultural ties
between the Republics of this contin
ent. Through the activities of this
section, scholarships have been es
tablished in the United States for
students from Latin American coun
tries and similarly students from the
United States are given oportunities
to pursue special investigations in
Latin America.
Claims Settled
At stated intervals since the as
sembling of the First Pan American
conference in 1889, aditional confer
ences have been held, each of which
has contributed its share toward
bringing about closer relations be
tween the differnt sections of the
continent. Through a series of trea
ties and conventions agreed upon at
these conferences, it has been possi
ble to reach an orderly solution of
problems which might otherwise
have become the subject of interna
tional differences. Thus such ques
tions as the settlement of pecuniary
claims; the formulation and codifica
tion of international law; the control
of infectious and contagious diseases
and many other matters have been
covered by conventions through
which an early proceedure is estab
lished for their solution.
These general Pan American con
ferences have been supplemented by
a series of specialized conferences
which also have contributed their
due share towards developing Pan
American co-operation.
Soon after the outbreak of the
European war, the Secretary of the
Treasury called a conference of the
Ministers of Finance of the Americ
an Republics to consider the finan
cial situation which had arisen by
reason of the war in Europe. This
conference met in Washington in
1915, and led to the formation of a
permanent organization known as

the Inter-American High Commis
sion, designed to foster co-operation
between the different sections of the
continent. This commision is made
up of a national section organized
in each country, presided over by the
Minister of Finance, and composed
of nine eminent financiers and jur
ists. At the close of the war, the sec
ond of these international confer

CHRISTMAS
The holidays are here again, with
joy and sumptuous living, and every
mansion shack, and den, a'studying
the art of giving. From postal card
to turkey roast from penny doll to
jewel cluster, we overload the parcel
post with all the presents we can
muster. The holiday cigar is here;
the necktie; and the fitless slipper;
I've handkerchiefs to last a year, and
gloves adorn my rusty flippers. Me-
thinks it is a goodly time for all who
live, love and labor; I'd rather hear
the vespers chime, than go to war
and and shoot my neighbor. So let
the holidays endure, with peace and
plenty, and joyous giving; with God
o'erhead, and precept pure, we'll
teach the world the art of living.
ties between the Republics of Am
erica. Prior to 1908, these congress
es were Latin American rather than
Pan American in chaacter, and the
inclusion of the United States was
intended as a demonstration of the
community of intellectual and cultur
al purposes of the nations of Amer
ica. At the Santiago Congress, of
1908, prominent representatives of
science and letters of every Americ
an country met for interchange of
views, and developed plans for clos

Christmas Slippers
The arrival of Christmas just at the advent of the
winter season each year is the reason for the popularity of
house slippers as the ideal gift.
What is more comfortable than a soft pair of easy
slippers for home wear during the long winter evenings.
Every grown-up and child too needs a pair for comfort's
sake alohe.
