Credit Where Il Is Due.

| The Pan-Amercan Financial Conference, which
will end tomorrow, has accomplished will &C
complIsh, everything that expected of it. The
character of the discussions and the earnestness
OF purpose evnced by the delegates justify the
confident belief that before many months have
passed there will be tangible evidence of great
constructive work in progress, the foundation of
which is being laid in Washington this week The
objects to be achieved have never for a moment
been obscured either in the conference itself in
the group discussions, with the result that the
delegates have applied themselves steadfastly to
the discovery of the ways and means of bringing
about closer financial and commercial relation
ship among the twcnty-one American republics.
The two great problems are, OF course finance
and transportation, and important progress has
been made toward the solution of both. In the
matter OF ships more than big project has
been launched, and we may expect to learn before
long OF combinations of North American and
South American capital engaged in merchant ship
ping enterprises. The question of financial rca-
tons in all its phases has been earnestly discussed
between the representatives of great bank
ing organizations and eminent authorities the
subject from the Southern republics with the re-
suit that almost immediate improvement in the
system of credits and exchange is likely to take
place. with the prospect that eventually the West
crn Hemisphere Will become wholly independent
OF Europe in the conduct of its financial trans
actions with New York the great monetary
center.
To cffccually and permanently unite CONNER
cialIy two continents whose relations in the past
have been merely ncighborly and friendly requires
time but it must be remembered that for years
past tho Pan-American Union has been paving
the way Tor the progressive movement that seems
about to begin in earnest. 1t has been the con-
slant aim OF this unique and influential organi-
zation. under the guidance OF Director General
John Barrett to promote cordial relations among
the governments and peoples OF the twenty-one
American republics to cultivate mutual under
standing and appreciation and unity of
interests. and to facilitate communication and
the exchange OF ideas The intellectually use
full work OF the Pan-American Union and the en-
thusiastic devotion OF Director General Barrett
have been productive OF larger results year by
year, until finally the present epochal conference
is traceablc directly to its efforts and influences
For whatever benefits may result from the con
ference just closing-and they must inevitably be
many-the Pan-Amcrican Union and its director
must in justice be accorded a large share of the
chcdit.

Franklin IL Lane Says He Prefers

the former
II Undoubtedly properly managed PEN
sion system would be an economy for
the government. II would mean that the
government would retire its old and
faithful employees. who have given their
lives to the government service and
could put in their places younger en-
rloyes. making the service more eff
cient
Il do not believe in fixing an arbitrary
age for retirement of employees | think
II would be preferable to fix a period of
service. at the end OF which employees
might be retired. but would leave il dis
cretionary with the heads of the DEPART

the employees. For many Of the older
employees are of great value to the sery-
ice, and IT might he advisable to continue
them in office for some time after they
