in the University Of chile, making the
most striking recommendation. thar of
the establishment Of a monetary union
In America similar to the Latin none

The entire question ~ Uniform cur

was characterized as one II the most
important factors in the cultivation OF
American nations.

cussion besides Prof. SubercaseauX
were Prof. L. W. Kemmerer, OF Prince

coins of the Americas, while our gold

Though ten OF the twenty-oue repub-
lies are not now on a gold basis they
mately. he said, and that fact makes
the securing OF the United States gold
dollar as a unit extremely hopeful.
Prof. SubercaseauX suggested that.
since each country would guard jeal-
ously the exercise OF its sovereign
union would have TO be patterned after
the Latin Monetary Union, formed by a
convention composed of France. Bel
Eium, Switzerland, Italy and Greece,
which is still in force.
Would Limit Regulation.
Rational limits TO railroad regulation

In the scientific meetings, Elmer A,
