His article will be fonnd intenselyintercsting and great ly illuminating. Xhi dream of the civilised peoples cf the world since history recorded civilisation has been and is being ac complished 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 view with suspicion even the suggestions of peace overtures that shall last forever, view with distrust the hopes of a universal disarmament, cling to the weapons of war with one hand while touching the olive branch with the other, there is before them an example of international co-operation, of international helpfulness, of misunderstanding smoothed away across a table that has been going on for years and with each new year seeing a more complete understand ing and a eloser drawing together of the nations thus affected. Peace and Prosperity. While . the great nations of the earth shout of their civilization and their desire for brotherhood and go on with the ever-increasing program of ships and guns the "Pan American Union" goes on its way bringing peace and prosperity to its member ship and growing trust and confidence 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 aadly shattered. Enthusiasm has given way to moral lassitude and cynicism. The resurgence of selfish nationalistic and even imperialistic ambition on the part of the peoples of Euro pa has developed an atmosphere of pessimism with reference to the future of Western civilisation. 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 feeling that the ruthless international com petition, 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 com petitive system have often found those advantages hollow and of little permanent value. With this Increas ing doubt as to the efficiency of inter national competition, there is a grow ing feeling that the welfare of the masses 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 states manlike leadership of James G. Blaine, there has been worked out a policy of international co-operation and mutul helpfulness amongst the , K"ruV!tc9 of the American Continent . uHrh may well serve as an example rd inspiration to the nations of the i wor'd. For a period of over thirty ; year, the diplomatic representatives i of the American Republics have been j meeting each month, presided over by ; the i-ecretary of State of the United j S'ates, to discuss matters of common interest and concern. Through such interchange of thought and opinion, there has been created an atmosphere of mutual trust and confidence which has served to solve amicably and through the reasonable and orderly processes of discussion, a largo num ber of problems which might other wise have become the source of inter national irritation. Even more significant titan the peaceful settlement of pending inter national problems is the spirit of mutual helpfulness which haa found and which still finds expression in the Pan American Union. Through this organisation 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 national activity, the governments of the American Republics are aware that they can secure such expert serv ice from the Pan American Union. Through the intermediary of the dip lomatic representatives at Washing ton there is a constant exchange of information and experience. The ef fectiveness 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. Yanes, is unremitting in its efforts to develop closer culture ties between the Republics of this Continent Through the activities of this Section, scholarships have been established in the United States for students from Latin American countries and simi larly students from the United States are given opportunities to pursue special investigations in Latin Amer ica. Claims Settled. At stated intervals since the as sembling of the First Pan American Conference in 1889, additional confer ences have been held, each of which has contributed its share toward bringing about closer relations be tween the different 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 international differences. Thus such questions as the settlement of pecuniary claims; the formulation and codification of international law; the control of in fectious and contagious diseases and many other matters have been eov ered by conventions through which an early procedure is established for their solution. These general Pan American Con ferences have been supplemented hy a series of specialiied conferences which have also contributed their due share toward developing Pan Amer ican co-operation. Soon after the outbreak of the Eu ropean War, the Secretary of the Treasury called conference of the Ministers of Finance of the American Republics to consider the financial situation which had arisen by reason of the war in Europe. This confer ence met in Washington in 19 IS, and led to the formation of a permanent organization known as the Inter American High Commiasion, designed to foster eloser co-operation between the different sections of the Conti nent This Commission isjnade op of a national section organised in each country, presided over by the Minis ter of Finance, and composed of nine eminent financiers and jurists. At the close of the war, the second of these international conferences met at Washington to consider the finan cial situation in which the American Republics found themselves by reason of new conditions created by the termination of the war. Thia second conference entrusted to this perma nent organisation the Inter-American High Commission the further duty of fostering closer financial and commercial ties, and this work is now being carried forward with most gratifying results. The First Pan American Scientific Congress, which was held at Santiago, Chile, in 1908, was a further factor in establishing closer cultural ties be tween the Republics of America. Prior to 1908, these congresses were Latin American rather than Pan American in character, and the inclu sion of the United States was intend ed as a demonstration of the com munity of intellectual and cultural purposes of the nations of America. At the Santiago Congress, of 1908, eminent representatives of science and letters of every American country met for interchange of views, and de veloped plans for closer intellectual co-operation. The second of these Scientific Congresses was held at Washington in 1916, and the third will assemble at Lima, Peru, in July, 1923. "My Old Kentucky Home," Big Film Hit, Here Sun. and Mon.
