Two great subjects of vital interest to
the continental solidarity" of the west
ern hemispeher have been uppermost in
the undercurrent of gossip and lunch
constable conversation between the dele
gates and the officials of the conference.
These are the all-important subject of
finance and the great problem of trade

etc. Latin American bankers are here
keenly alive to the possibility of OPEN
ing new financial connections necessary
to the development of the vast natural
resources. and necessary to make the
extensions in public works.
Hitherto South American development
has been kept alive mainly through Eu-
ropean banking connections. but the war
has changed all that. Delegates here
have told of public works stopped and
commerce halted. United States capital
will surely be shown at this conference
the possibility of new business in the
sister republics to the south. At the
same time an official of the conference
told a Star reporter that it was inter
estidg to him to note the keen eyes of
European nations centered upon the con
ference.
European Bankers Interested.
European bankers are anxious to find
out whether a financial coalition will be
effected to their detriment.' he said,
"and / am in possession Of fnformatio
to the effect that European governments
have given instructions to watch the
conference closely to see just what is
done in that way.
Secretary McAdoo was host at lunch

Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina, and
the .inadequacy Of steamship lines to
South American ports was discussed

Secretary McAdoo made public today
statement which details the topics
to be discussed at the conference. In a
way this analysis of the topics con-
tains the gist of the whole conference,
for the list of the subjects to be dis
cussed shows just what the conference
will take up.
The first group Of topics is under the
he'd OF "upblic finance" This group
of discussions is intended to go into
affected by recent events in Europe, in
a broad way, and includes or is in
tended to include, measures adopted to
meet the situation as well as proposed
remedies, and concludes, or Is to con-
clude with the possibilities OF inter-
national cooperation.
Other Subjects Scheduled.
In the second group the outlook for
uniform monetary standards is to be
discussed. in the third the topics to
be discussed are the possibilities Of
further international cooperation in
the present banking situation; in the
fourth group the topics concern the
financing of public improvements. in
cluding the underwriting of national
or state loans, the underwriting pf
municipal loans and the relation Of pub
lie credit to a we'll organized system OF
taxation and a balanced budget.
The fifth group OF topics concerns the
financing of private enterprises. 1t Is

Express Desire to Cooperate.
The talks by the President and Sec
retary of State constituted the welcome
of this country to it's guests. where

for the peace Of the world and the
service of mankind.
I'VE are all anxious to achieve prac-
tical results. We do not wish this con-
ference to culminate in mere debate.
I'VE of the United States earnestly
desire that YOU shall give to us the
most complete and authentic informa-
tion concerning the financial and eco
nomic needs of your respective coun
tries. and about every problem which
YOU think we may consider to your and
our advantage. We realize that each
country has it's own distinctive prob
lens: that the problems of one country
probably do not relate to those of its
neighbors: that such problems may
concern governmental or public financ-
ing: tariff laws as they affect United
States trade: commercial credits and
direct exchange with the United States;
ocean transportation, and various other
things

Improved Communications.

The questions of ocean transporta-
tion and improved means of communi-
cation are particularly interesting at
this time, and a full expression of opin-
ion upon these important phases of the
general problem will be of value. Rem
edies cannot be applied nor the fullest
measure of cooperation secured unless
complete and authentic information is
supplied.

the various South and Central Ameri-
can countries and the Establishment by
those countries of branch banks in the

attention. Commercial credits and di-
rect exchange and the facilitation of

Asks No Special Favors.


I'VE do not suggest, nor have we in
the back of our thought. that any priv
ilege should be extended us not granted
on equal terms to others. We want no
special favors in the peaceful contests
of commerce. We think it would be
better for all concerned if there were
as little as possible III the way of OBJ
stacles put i'll the way of the trade OF
all peoples. The least necessary fric-
tion on the flow of commerce seems to
US the wisest course.
I'VE think it should be made Il matter
of care that your great commercial CEN
ters should be connected with those OF
all the world on an equal basis. II
should be Is cheap and convenient Tor
you to communicate from your cities
with ours as with those of Europe. At
present it is possible for you to cable
from some of your cities to European
points at considerably less cost than
to \eur own, and in some cases the diff
ference is striking. Without knowing
how far this matter may be within the
direct control of your several govern
ments. 1T seems to me that sound
policy can be laid down on this subject
in this way: 1t should be as easy and
as cheap for all America to communi-
cate with itself as it is for 1t to com
municate with lands across the sea.
There ought to be no handicap OF tele-
graphic rates between American coun-
tries in favor of European ones. We of
America are in a sense of one interna-
tional family and we should see to 1t
that the family is not at a disadvan-
tage in this important respect.
The same thing is true in matters of
ever paid SO great premium on behalf
of'fts commerce as we have paid in the
cost of the Panama canal. If we are
to get the results of that investment
there must be ships under our own con-
troll to navigate that canal wherever
and as often and of such a character
as the needs of our commerce require.
This one might think is purely a matter
for ourselves, but it is not wholly so.

Practically. the question of licenses
for commercial travellers is sometimes
a serious one. We used to have them
here in various forms between our sew
eral states, and in one or another way
efforts have from time to time peen
made to tax in one state travellers
coming from another. This has al

form of licenses for commercial traV-
elers is simply another way OF re-
straining commerce from proceeding, !,
that it is simpler, cheaper, and in the
final result far wiser to avoid Such
forms of expense imposed on trade IN
order that from the larger trade which
greater revenues may in more normal

OFFICIAL WASHINGTON PROMINENT
IN PAN-AMERICAN CONFERENCE

ohicial Washington was so well rep
resented at the opening meeting of the
pan-American conference today in the
Fan-American Union building that q
roster of the officials present would
mention practically every branch of the
administration Moreover. the touch of
picturesque color always given to
Washington gathering by members of
the diplomatic corps was there also in
no small proportion. Every South
American country and every Central
American country was represented. and
their representatives sat side by side
with the captains of industry and
finance from the sreat\commercial cen
tiers of the United States.
Director John Barrett OF the Pam
American Union had the air of host
at a morning party, as he stood square
ly in the front door Of the big marble
building and shook hands with the
guests arriving He treated them as
guests. had smile and q handshake
for every one. and had plenty of assist
ants to show his guests to the Hall of
the Americas, where the speeches of
the President and Secretary of State
and the responses of the delegates were
to be made.
From sartorial standpoint, the con-
ference is a huge success already. as
some of the delegates from the south
with them supply of morning clothes,
silk hats and foreign-built collars and
neckties of distinction which would
make 5th avenue toke notice.
The delegates and members of the
conference began to arrive before bO
o'clock, and were received in stately
and courteous manner. The Hall of the
Americas was comfortably filled at the
precise hour of the opening of the for
malities. and as Secretary McAdoo and
Secretary Bryan took their places on
the platform every one arose and
greeted them with handclapping. Sec
retary Daniels. Secretary Lane. Assist
ant Secretary Peters of the treasury
followed them, and a moment later Jo-

vate secretary, appeared. together with
several representatives of South Ameri-
can countries DIR. L. s Rowe, director
general of the conference, took the
platform and spoke a few words In
