AMERICAS MUST TEACH
 WORLD PEACE WILSON
President in Address to Pan American Conference Urges Closer Rela- tiOns of the States of the
 Western Hemisphere.

Washington, May 24.-President Wilson while speaking at the opening of the Pan-American Financial Con- ference here today expressed the hope that the Americans might show the world the path to peace. The Presi- dent was applauded loudly by the dele gates as he entered the hall of the Americas in the Pan-American Union building, where the meeting are being held. On the platform were members of the cabinet, while the audience in cluded many high government officials and representatives of South and Gen. tral American countries.
 The President declared the people of the Americas were not trying to make use of one another, but wre try ing to be of use to one another. He spoke of the handsome rivalry, which, he said, was good for nations. The lack of the physical means of commu- nication between the Americas, he said stands somewhat in the way of the development of commerce and friend ship. In advocating more ships in Pan-A American trade and the opening of new routes the President said that ! if private capital cannot soon establish such means of communication the government must undertake to do so.
 At the conclusion of the Presidents address he was applauded again. He remained in the hall while represen- tatives of the different nations res bonded to his welcome.
