DEVELOPMENT MEETING.

Men representing nineteen counties
attended the Northern Minnesota De-
velopment association meeting here
yesterday and today. Much was ac-
complished for the best interests Of
the northern part of the state as
we'll as the entire state.
To make the work of development
even more efficient the suggestion of
Secretary Mccarthy at the associa-
tion should be carried out in regard
to the organization of development
associations in every county and de-
velopment meetings be held. A few
county meetings and the delegates
will be better prepared when the
Northern Minnesota Development as
sociation meets.
To the development men of North
ern Minnesota we would bid them to
come again to this magic City of the
North"
The key of this city is theirs when
ever they choose to come.
Until they do come to this city we
would say, "auf wiedersehen.'

ARBITRATION CONVENTION
Proposal to Establish Perm
anent Peace In Western
Hemisphere.

Washington, Dec. 3O.-Secretary
Lansing has suggested to all nations
which, with the United States, COM
prise the Pan-American union, that
they join in a convention for the ar
bitration of all boundary line disputes
and for the prohibition of shipments
of war munitions to revolutionaries.
Lansing's proposal. which has the
full support of President Wilson, is
being forwarded by Latin American
ambassadors and ministers here to
their home and foreign offices for con-
sideration.
1t is regarded as one Of the steps in
wide plan in which the Pan-Amer-
lean Scientific Congress, now in ses-
sion here, is a part, for preservation
of peace in the western hemisphere
and a closer union of all the Americas.
The status of the negotiations and
details of Lansings proposal so far
are being held as confidential between
the state department and the Latin
American chancelIories here. Lansing
declined to discuss it and the diplo-
mats uniformly declared they could
not discuss the matter which is in its
preliminary stage and under consider
alton by their home and foreign Of
fees.
1t became known, however, that soon
after Lansing delivered his Pan-Amer-
lean unity speech before the Scientific
Congress in which he advocated Pan
American "one for all and all for one"
he began inviting the Latin American
representatives to the state depart
nent two at time. outlining to them
his proposal. At the same time, 1t is
understood, the various details were
discussed and approved.
