BALIlylAN. BOLIVIA

An appeal for close and friendly
business relations between the coun-
tries of South America and the United
States was made this afternoon by
Joseph E. Davies. chairman OF the fed
eral trade commission. before the dele
gates of the an-American financial
convention which again met today In
general session In the Halt of the
Americas of the Pan-American Union.
Mr.. Davies made a plea for dollar
exchange" and expressed the hope that
In the new trade relations to be estab-
lished the code Of business ethics would
prevent International monopoly. just as
federal laws now prevent local monop-
olies.
Mr. Davies said. in part:
Across the seas councils Of the com
manding brains OF the nations OF
Europe are also engaged in great prob
ems pertaining to the mobilization OF
men and money To- the purposes of
war. This council OF the Americas is
peace Into conditions that make for
mutual -helpfulness. The genius OF
EGe,pe is addressed to war: the spirit
OF the Americas is turned toward peace.
From the deliberations here there viii
come no destruction OF property, no
horrible sacrificing of men. no anguish
ing hearts OF women. no orphanlng OF
children, no burdens Of inferior race
production and Increased taxation for
posterity.
Your deliberations are fertile with
the promise that greater arYosies of
peace and good viii will sail the seas;
that more rnen will be at work. that
the standard Of living may be raised
that more children may be educated
that more women may attend 20 thelf
household cares singing with tho con-
tcntment of peace. as the days go by
and that the ideals OF republican altru-
ism may demonstrate to world gone
mad that the gospel of the Carpenter
OF Galilee is not lie, but living
hope ana beacon for the republics OF
the Americas in their contribution to
the world and to its civilization.
Talks of international Monopoly" /"
Speaking Of international monop-
oly." Mr.. Davies said:
Monopoly of an international char
acter Is not fear of the future: 1t is
a. fact Of the present Unfair methods
Of competition to destroy rivals are
not confined to local monopoly. but may
be participated in by nations as well.
There Is no logical or ethical dist1nc-
ton between governments and lndl-
viduaIs or corporations II engaged in
such a practice. They are equally in

Speaking further. Mr.. Davies said:

JOSEPH E. DAVIES MAKES APPEAL
FOR CLOSE BUSINESS RELATIONS

! American International code Of what
shall constitute fairness in trade. Such
code. If sustained by the nations and
peoples Of the western hemisphere.
a common pan American tribunal, and
the common Judgment of the republics
of the western hemisphere thus ex-
pressed would sustain and enforce It's
DEGREES by the weight of an enlighten-
ed and common public opinion. Thus,
through the instrumentalities OF trade
and commerce would another step to-
ward the elimination Of war and the
perpetuation of peace be effected. The
seed for this hope may be found In the
American Union and the identity
of aspiration and policy of the repub-
lies Of this hemisphere.
Suggests the "Dollar Exchange"
mo less in the financial Developments
arising from international relations is
there promise Of permanent relations
through the establishment Of dollar ex-
change. Dollar exchange differs from
dollar diplomacy. The idea of dollar
exchange contains no suggestion of
d. plomatic differences, or conflict OF In
terests. which might engender distrust
and strained relations between the gov
ernments involved. Dollar exchange
gives no special governmental support
to special interest 1t rather has to do
with the great multitude Of citizens en-
gagged in dealing with each other in
different parts OF this hemisphere. and
is designed to serve 7nd aid them to
their mutual advantage. Dollar ex-
change does not seek an advantage
over contested situation.
TT serves as a medium for the more
facile exchange OF commodities to the
mutual advantage of both parties there-
to. 1t tncurS no risk OF the imposition

imposition by q stronger power upon

and purpose Of governmental participa-
tion In dollar exchange"
One Heritage in Common.
In concluding. he said:
I'VE are OF different races and
tongues and creeds. but we have this
heritage In common: Our ancestors
all had the virtue and vigor of the
pioneer. They sought betterment for
themselves and their children. They
came to a new country; they dreamed
dreams and endured hardship for the
sake of their dreams. They dedicated
the best years of their manhood and
all of their interest to create. serve and
perpetuate a government that was dedi.
Gated to the common good OF man.
I'VE. therefore, have in common the
hopes and aspirations of our fathers
We have in common beaueathed to us
those ideals which Bolivar, Rosas and
San Martin and the founders of this
government fought for. Our traditions,
our purpose. our aspirations all sug-
gest friendship, mutual trust and rnu-
tual he!pfulness."
