PLAN BODY IN PARIS LIKE
PAN-AMER|CAN UNION
Consul From Uruguay in France
Hopes to Bring Americas and
Old World Together.

Tightening Of the relationships be-
tween France and the Americas is al
ready under way. 1t is to be a new
new.
Consul General Lomba. representing
Uruguay in France, is planning to Gre
ate in Paris. under the name Of Maison
d'Ameriuue. an association similar to
the Pan-American Union in Washing
ton. He plans to assemble in a sort of
palace the American consulates, cham
which have for their object the bring
ing OF the Americas together with the
old world. He would have permanent
exposition there.
NJ Edouard Herriot. mayor Of Lyon
and senator of the Rhons district. in
commenting on the plan in q Paris
newspaper. which interview was repro
duced in the United States commerce
reports, says:
invite the advice of our friends from
the other side. By acts rather than
words they must be shown that after
this horrible war there will be new
France, resolved to organize itself for
the mutual benefit of the two nations
in accordance with the rules of modern
science There must be patient en-
deavor in the spirit Of union and har-
IHoNy OF WORK.
Congress Called for March at Lyon.
The rules Of this union must be es-
tablished by the interested parties
themselves instead of being governed
BY theories, Of which we want no more.
The commercial "academism' has last
ed too long: in its place must be sub
stituted a rugged and fruitful realism
Already. at the urgent request of GER
tain American groups, we have organ
lied for the month Of March, 1918, a
congress under the title Of 1.-The Ameri-
can entente" to which the city of Lyon
has been happy to offer hospitality.
Face to face in that congress- the mer-
chants and manufacturers will there
themselves adopt a program to be exc
cuted by the government
-Four main questions will be dealt
with: % Reorganization of the steam
ship facilities; (2) reorganization of
the credit system; (3) study and ex-
change of raw materials; .(4) Organize
ton of the sale of manufactured arti-
cles. But these are only the initial
steps. We want something more. and
something better We wish to estab-
fish, on the basis of liberty. a vast sys-
tenn of economic relations We desire
to open. In displaying real. up-to-date
initiative. vast horizons for the new
energies which the war has created.
May Am erica we'll understand our re-
solve! America will find US ready to
rolloW her In the ways Of reform and
OF fresh Undertakings"
