BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS. Paris Correspondent of the United Press.) I'aris, Jan. 27. Hendrick C. Ander sen, the American sculptor now here in the interests of the "World Con science" movement, a society for the creation of a "World-Center," a great and- magnificent city to house inter national interests and united peoples ;and nntions for the attainments of poace and progress upon broad humani tarian lines, is coming more and more in favor of the Atlantic coast of the United States as the site of the future wapital of the world. Throughout Europe rulers have met him more than Tialf way and offored him encourage ment, volunteering promises of co-operation, while the American government lias requested its foreign ambassadors, ministers and other agents to extend to Mr. Anderstn, as the originator of the "World-Center" idea, every possiblo courtesy. The limited de luxe edition of And ersen's book explaining the objects of the new city, gotten out at his own ex ponse for private circulation, is practic ally exhausted, government official all over the world having received copies. Ono wns sent to Vieo President Mar shall, of the United States, for the Sen uto's perusal. The following . letter, which Vice President Marshall author izes Andersen to publish, set forth the motives which prompted Andersen to givo up nino yenrs of his lifo and $150,000 cash to planning tho "City 'Wonderful." "'Hon. Thos. E. Marshall, V. P., Pres ident of the Senate, "Washington, D. C. "Sir: It is with pleasure that I re ceived your courtoous acknowledgement of the volume, "Creation of a World Center of Communication" which I presented to the Senate, and I wish to extend to you the full sense of my ap preciation for your courtesy. The sub ject with which this volume deals may be considered by the casual observer of international affairs as premature. But you, I am assured, understand the fact that there is, and has been and will continue to be, a growing dissatisfaction with the administration of international rights. Demand for Justice. "To be sure, one may say that thore is dissatisfaction with local and nation al rights in every state and country of tho world, and even in these the bur -den of the adjustment of political and -economic affairs becomes not only com plex but involving, and demands the most scrupulous and far sighted judg ment. Yet notwithstanding the fact that local and national affairs demand the closest attention and study for their adjustment in order that they may become efficiently beneficial to the people and logically understood by them, there is dawning throughout the whole human race a demand for a jus tice which appeals to the higher intelli gence of all nations alike, and that is: the question of international rights of men. Appeals come from many directions and for causes almost too innumerable to mention, in law, in medicine, hy giene, science, religion, etc, etc. And today, although the thirst for knowledge can largely be gratified in each city and state, the science, art, laws of all nations are being so diffused through the press, literature, commerce and travel, that in spite of national pride, one nation depends upon the other. The horrors of war and destruction of life and property have been from the begin ning of time obnoxious and depressing to the soul of man and God knows, this will always be so, for the higher instinct is not to destroy but to ele vate and create. ' You well know that the cry of poace may reach the ear of multitudes and sound pleasantly there; often the more so because husbands and children, for tunes and estates have been sacrificed through aggression and war. The most logical reasons for reducing armaments will pour in upon all Governments and palaces will be built for pacifistic dis cussion, but surely you realize that peace can only come from one source, that is: by just administration. Furnishes Common Hearth. "No nation in the world is so deeply international as America. ' Its whole population is doscended from the old world. It has the high mission of fur nishing a common hearth to the children of all people. "I am endeavoring to bring before the minds of all nations the necessity of a centnil point of international com munication in the form of a monumen tal, modern, hygienic city, so compre hensive and practical as to house and deal with those questions which are common to all peoples alike, and the solution of which is necessary for their mental, physical and spiritual progress. Why should not such a city be unveiled upon tho Atlantic coast. It would be in keeping with its noblest records of union and domocracy, and thus spring nig into reality from virgin soil, would undoubtedly extend its lights far down tho unseen corridors of time and illum ine and give encouragement to the yet unborn. "Therefore I trust that I can count upon, your sympathy and good will to uphold and diffuse the idea of a world centralization, and if possible, gain the sympathies of your noble colleagues and friends to sanction and aid in the furtherance of this cause.

Declaring that Oregon is today prac tically free from "wild catters," un principled promoters, dishonest brokers and fakirs, Ralph Vatson, state com missioner of corporations, explained how this condition has been brought about through his rigid enforcement of Oregon's famous "Blue Sky Law." Commissioner Watson's explanation of the workings of this peace of legislature should hold deep interest for every man who has funds, large or small, to invest. The article, written for the United Press follows: The Blue Sky law Is an instrument of protection to the investors of the state. It is a barrier placed across the path of fraud and deceit. It is a token of honost dealing between man and man; a promise of fair play, an ex ponent of the square and the honost deal. It is because of the unprincipled greed of man, careless of the misfortuno of others in his mindfulness of his own content; it is because of dishonesty and misrepresentation and untruth; it is because too many men, intrusted with the money and the hopes of others, have proven untrue to their trust because the voice of solf profit has been loud er than tho voico of conscience, that the law is necessary. Tho result of the Blue Sky law will be that tho unprin eiplcd promoter, the dishonest broker, the fakir, the fraud and curbslono deal er in wildcat securities will find Oregon loss of a vale of hope fulfilled ami more of a garden of Gothscnienc. Child of Legislature. "A corporation is a child of tho leg islature, born of its statutes and obe dient to them. It has no power that tho statutes do not grant. The corpor ation is simply tho creature of tho law, by and through which many men can act as a Bingle man to develop some thing, to produce something of value to tho stockholders and to tho advantage of tho public generally. Tho Blno Sky law reaches behind the company to-the promoter, and beyond the promoter to the stock salesman and the stock brok er, demanding of thorn honesty of in tention, and integrity of action. It iB not the purpose, and it will not be the effect of this law to hamper, circum scribe or retard the progress or de velopment of legitimate and honost cor porate activity in this state. The law is the friend of tho square corporation. Oregon wants and needs, the producing corporation to come in, to develop her resources, to market hor products, to open hor mines, to Increase her work shops, her mills and factories. "Suppose John Doe wants to buy a farm and has no money. Ho knows whore there aro 100 acres of good land worth $100 an acre. He wants to put it into crop and to carry it until its produce will begin to pay hiin back for bis wrok and worry. The land will cost him $10,000, the linprovments and working capitnl $10,000 more. John Doe is entitled to borrow $20,000 to buy and equip his farm. He would not be justified in borrowing $:i0,000 or $50,000 or $100,000 on the doal. No one would be bo optimistic as to hope to find any man, or sot of men, who would loan $30,000 on a proKsition, certainly not $100,000. I fail to see thon, that if John Doe can not export to borrow $100,000 on a $20,000 gamblo, why the promotor of a corporation expects to borrow of a band of stockholders two or three times tho valuo of tho basic proposition he has to offer those who invest in bis securities.

All patonts have to be promot ed, all minos have to be developed. I do not beliove tho legislature has any right to lcgsilato against honest and legitimate speculation. It is the God given right of man to take a chance. "Tho mining game is a gambling game, with luck for the dealer and chance for the look-out. It is a good game if it is square, and a bad one if it is crooked. Any man has a right to play it, but ho has a right to know when ho sits in a game that tho deal is honest, the cards not marked, and that ho has a chance to win back tho money be put in.
