to the General Assembly OF the Presby-

applause Immediately after his ad-
dress the Rev. DR.. A. V. " Raymond Of
Buffalo. one of the men who framed
the report, arose to make a plea for a
broader sympathy and kindier feeling
toward Union Seminary.
pr. Brown said that tho constitution
OF Union Seminary did not provide that

although students Of no other evangell-
cal church were to be barred.
The address Of DR. Matthews attack

No Legislative Action.

The plan as suggested would not re-
quire any legislative or governmental
action This disclosure of the plan OF
the Argentine delegation was practically
the only development of the day fore
shadowng definite results from the con-
ference.
The morning session, which was held
at the pan-American Building. was
given over 10 addresses by Paul VI. War
burg and GOV. Hamlin of the Federal
Reserve Board. \. Barton Hepburn and
Mortimer Schifr of New York and pr
Santiago Triana Of the Colombian dele
cation.
The eighteen group conferences, which
took up their tasks during the day, are
expected to perform the real work Of the
meeting. \ majority of these confer
cnces simmered down to a discussion Of
generalities, and In many cases the
Latin American delegates emphasized
the financial needs OF their countries
business men above everything else.
The outcome OF these preliminary dis
cussio gave rise to the belief on the
part OF many American business men
present that the benefits of the con-
ference would consist largely in produce
ing more amicable relations between
the business men of the United States
and Latin America and in having
American business men better informed
as to conditions and possibilities in
Latin America.
II was pointed out that the Anal soiu-
tion of the problems presented is likely

United States Government itself The
needs OF tn Latin American countries

surances are given that investors and
financiers OF this country will have the

lures they make.
