ASK NO SPECIAL FAVORS

Extension of privileges to American
business men is not the object OF the
Pan-Amcrican Financial Conference, ac-
cording to Secretary Redfeld. one OF
to days speakers.

on the flow of commerce seems TO us

on an equal basis. 1t should he as

The same thing is true OF matters
of transportation. ] suppose no nation
has ever paid great a premium on

paid in the cost OF the Panama Canal.
II we arc to get the results OF that
investment. there must he ships under

any land to our common ports"

the day when the securities OF the

deplored the lack of an adequate sys-

VANDERBILT ADDRESSES
MEMBERS OF CONFERENCE
The only private American represen-
tativc who spoke to-day was Frank A.
Vanderbilt. OF the National CITY Bank
of New York. Mr.. Vanderlip declared
that at the present time the national
banks OF the United States. as shown
by their last reports to the Comptroller
OF the Currency, have total surplus
over the legal reserve requirements OF
more than s7OO,0oO,0oO. and that tho
State banks probably have a similar
plethora"
That means" said he. that We have
an enormous capital for the expansion
OF loans, probably enough to expand
loans two or three billion dollars, so
II we are in a state of appropriateness
for war we are prepared to extend our
financial relations abroad and for the
development OF banking credits at
home"
Mr. Vanderlip said an important con-
sideration to be remembered In build
ing up relations with South America
is that countries there arc in about
the same position that the United
States occupied few years ago, and
that they need most Of all outside
apitaI to aid development.
Il believe" added he. that the
growing wealth of this country under
tho new banking law and for other
causes will open this field so that it
will amount to something vastly
greater than 1t has been before"

CONTINENTAL SOLIDARITY
is THEME OF M'ADOO
Continental solidarity Of the nations
OF the Western Hemisphere with uni
form laws on many subjects not only
for the purpose OF advancing their ma
terial interests but that they may have
commanding place in preserving the
peace OF the world. was the theme
dwelt upon to-day by Secretary Nc
Adoo in his address OF welcome TO the
delegates to the Pan-American Finan-
cial Conference.
Mr.. McAdoo declared the conference
was called from no selfish or sordid
motive. or desire for gain, but to see
how best the republics Of this hem,s-
phcre. representing common ideals OF
liberty, justice and elf-government"
may through common action and inter
est conserve their welfare and be-
come a more homogeneous and perfect
moral force for the propagation OF
peace and for the good of humanity"
To attain that end, the secretary said,
II was necessary to consider the ma
terial basis, to obtain better under
standing of the problems that confront
each OF the nations concerned, and to
make ready the way to initiate such
measures and policies as Will make the
Western half of the world "self-con-
ta!ned and independent OF the disas-
trous consequences of future collisions
between the nations of the Eastern
Hemisphere"

In large part financially dependent
on the nations OF Europe for our in
ternal development and economic sta
hiiity. so long are we exposed TO the
hazards OF their internal strife and
eternal wars This seems to be the
opportune time for the development of
the spirit, at least, of continental
solidarity.
The nations OF the Western Hemis-
phere cannot make a greater contribu-
ton to the cause OF civilization than
TO effect that kind of continental solid
arity which, resting upon wholesale
material interests. political accord.
common ideals, and mutual helpfulness,
Will give them a commanding influence
for the peace OF the world and the SER

British subject, correspondent for
American newspapers, was arrested by
order of Gen Carranza, an dhas been
imprisoned six days without having
been given q trial or being permitted
to consult with the British or American
consuls. The Carranza officers charged
Francis with having distributed news
in the United States unfavorable to
Carranza.
All efforts Of John r. Si1liman, repre-
sentative of the State Department, and
American Consul Canada to see Francis
have been denied.
Francis was arrested while sitting in
cafe by carranza officers dressed in
civilian clothes. His protests were
without avail. and he Immediately was
placed incommunicado." When Consul
Canada appeared in Francis behalf he
was brushed aside and ordered out of
the building by Carranxa's agents. Mr..
Silliman was given similar treatment.
The arrest of Francis was defiance
Of a warning from Secretary Lansing,
who having been informed by cable
that the newspaperman's liberty was
threatened. sent note to Carranza
that Francis arrest would be consid-
cred unfriendly to the United States
This warning and subsequent protests
have been ignored.

by ex-Gov. Edward c. Stokes Of New
Jersey. They were included in letter
received in answer to a note to JUS
tice Hughes from Mr.. Stokes.
The jurist's emphatic refusal to be
considered as a possible standard bear
er in the next campaign Is, however,
only a repetition OF similar utterances
that he has made.
Mr.. Stokes wrote to Justice Hughes
sey men were especially anxious that
his name be placed in nomination for
the presidency. He suggested that in
view of this fact Justice Hughes allow
his name to be considered. Mr.. Stokes
pointed out that as a candidate JUS
tice Hughes was especially available,
that he owed 1t to his country to run
for the office, and that he should do SO
because of the great confidence the
people OF the country placed in him.
