tions, Noyes Tells Delegates to Con-
sress OF Two Americas.

washington, June 6.-F'rank Il.
Noyes. president of the Associated
Press. told tho Pan American confer
ence today that the exchange OF
true. ungarbled and unbiased news"
between the North and South Amer
lean continents, now being brought
about by the membership of South
American newspapers in the organiza-
ton, will be more effectual in cul-
tivating and maintaining the relations
of friendship and affection that should
exist between the two continents OF
this hemisphere than all the propa-
sanda that could be sent out by the
publicity agents of the world.
'''rhe basis Of our relationship with
our new members are those Of equal
ity. of mutual respect. OF full confi-
a"2"e. Our South American members
know that the news reports sent them
will be straight news with no ulterior
purpose and we have the same belief
as to news Coming north.
II am sure that 1t must be clear that
the interest of the Associated Press
in the specific commercial proects that
this conference is discussing must be
purely platonic. Any aid to general
buying and selling that this fellowship
and effort of the newspapers of North
and South America brings will be only
a by product of relation that has no
such object in mind as an incentive to
it's creation.
Making People Acquainted.
II may with propriety say. however,
that the growth in commerce that you
are planning for must be built on the
same basis as those I have stated Nas
the foundation stones of the relations
of our new and old members
mutual respect. full confidence While
our organization will therefore be only
sympathetic onlooker on the pro-
sress you seek to accomplish. the wo-.,
We are doing is Of immense import
ance to you.
I'VE are making peoples know each
other. know each others habits, know
each Others likees and dislikes, virtues
and foibles. 1t Is only within the last
few weeks that the people of this
country have learned thru the Associ-
ated Press that football is an interna-
tional sport in South America. This
may seem supremely unmportant. but
it is not. 1t is very important. for it
goes to the vitals of mutual under
standing and sympathy
"On Wednesday n cable came from
Brazil saying that a football team
from Bethlehem. Pa. had accepted an
to visit Brazilian cities and
that 1T was reported that the United
States Football Association had under
consideration an invitation to send a
team to the next South American
championship tournament. Believe me.
when we play football together we are
making progress.
THE beginning OF the flow Of our
news from north to south and from
south to north carried = with It. Of
course. a great strengthening of our
bureaus in South America and is now
having a collateral effect in causing a
more energetic collection of news
from Spain and Portugal. in the news
of which countries our new members
are especially Interested.
Sequence Of News and Ships.
II would have you know that the
North American mempers Of the AS
sociated Press enthusiastically well
come to the ranks OF the organization
the new members from the south. We
greatly prize the friendships that are
growing up from this association. we
are proud that these high types Of
journalists of South America are fell
low members, and we hope and be-
lieve that they too regard us as
friends and comrades.
II feel sure that l am speaking for
our South American as well as the
North American members in saying
that we wish you god speed in your
work. We hope with you for an un-
ceasfng stream Of chips carrying car
go and passengers both north and
south. For US we will see to 1t that a
never ending stream or news Of the
worlds happenings, It's accomplish
lnents and its fallings -shall flow be-
tween the two continents so that our
peoples shall know each other better.
feeling sure that as they know each
other they will like each other more
and more" "a
