AN ALL WORLD CITY
 TO COST $tOO,OOO,OOO
 IS PLAN OF IDEALlSTS
Nations Which Finance Huge Un- dertaking May Agree on Choice
 For Its Ultimate Situation.

A grandly idealisuc project has re. gently been launched by an interna- tional organization known as the
 World Conscience Society" The de- tails and plan were conceived and perfected after ten years of altruistic labor and study on the part of Hen dirk Christian Anderson, an Ameri- can-Scandinavian sculptor residing in Rome assisted by some 40 scuiptors, artists. engineers, architects, and scientists. and has for its object the establishment of an ideal world where all international activities are to have their home and inspiration.
 A review of the massive and beau tifully illustrated volume which em- bodies the plan in its details was recently published in the Monthly Bulletin of the Pan American Union. "This proposed international city, writes the reviewer-"is to be a city of lights, health. wide avenues. parks, playgrounds. fountains. la goons and noble buildings. It is to be city without slums, a city of ef- hciency. convenience and beauty Not only in structure. plan, and equip ment will it be the ideal city, but it is intended to become the intellectual. artisticJ and practical international capital of the world; a clearing house for the various social, cultural. scientific and political aspirations of humanity
 "As designed it win cover 10 square miles of ground Its architect ural plans are so drawn that it can be built at almost any spot accessi- ble to the sea that the nations may choose While there is ample room within the limits of the city for the homes of the permanent inhabitants and the necessary business and man ufacmring plants the heart of the city is composed of buildings adapted to the unihcation of international in- terests. These are grouped into three centers devoted respectively to sci- ence, art and physical culture. The scientific center is connected with the center of art by the broad avenue of nations. flanked on either side by pal aces which will house ambassadors and delegates representing their re- spec, i've nations. It has for its crowning motif the gigantic Tower Progress, which rises to the height of 1 900 feet or more. On the summit of this tower win be installed wire less telegraphy plant and on the low CT floor of its colossal base win be found a world printing press.
 "The tower rises iu the midst of a circular space set apart for interna- tional congress buildings for medi- cine. surgery, hygiene, law and crim- inology. electricity and invention, .agriculture and transportation. all of which are provided with halls, librar ies. museums, and accessory offices. To the northeast is the luternation- al Hall of Justice and to the south west the Temple of Religions Com pleting the conception stand an in- ternational bank or clearing house and a world reference library while in gardens near by are found the in. .ternational institutes of higher learn ing. The art center is connected with the physical culture center by means of gardens devoted to horti- culture, natural history, zoology and botany. An imposing Temple of Art forming the chief monument of this center, has been planned with spa cious halls and galleries for sculpture and painting. surrounding a vast audi l torium The physical center is in- tended to facilitate world reunion | of athleticism and 10 promote the scientific development of the human form in ajl nations. A vast stadium is its central feature. Near it is a large natatorium. gymnasium for men and women, and open fields and ath- letic quadrangles for international ex- positions and contests"
 The estimated cost of creating such a city, according to the author of the plan, would not be over $l00,- OO0,O ,O0O. sum that would not severe ly tax the resources of the govern ments of the world if equitably dis
