F INDIVIDUALS are to estab-
lish their relations on a basis of
true friendship - friendship
that appreciates faults and
differences of opinion as we'll as vir-
tues-they must understand each
other. In these days Of world inter
dependence it is being discovered
that the same rule applies to ma
tions. And one Of the surest means
Of providing an understanding be-
tween nations is for those nations
to do business with each other, to
do It In a way that avoids conflicting
interests and is mutually profitable.
One Of the worlds leading states
men who recognizes this fact TO-
day, and who Is prepared to exert
the influence Of his high position to
realize its possibilities in intercourse
with the United States, is Dr.. Epi-
tacio Pessoa, President-elect Of Bra
I'll, now the guest of the American
nation and the recipient of it's high
est honors.
Critics Of world conditions which
led to war on the whole face Of the
earth have declared professional
diplomats" played too important a
part in regulating international af-
fairs Of the past; that the business
man and the rank and file of the
worlds peoples occupied too small a
role in shaping overseas policies. By
the same token, therefore, it has been
declared that the "workaday" folks
Of the world knew too little Of one
another's lives and hopes Without an
understanding among individuals
there could be no proper understand
ing between foreign offices. 1t seems
a simple statement, but it has long
been overlooked.
DR.. Pessoa is not business man.
he Is essentially statesman, a law
yer, but when he declares, ~ wish
particularly to develop the COM
mercial and economic relations Of
Brazil and this country" it is evi-
dent that he is a statesman with the
New World vision. 1t is DR.. Pessoa's
philosophy that commercial inter
course between peoples is based upon
mutual confidence and mutual re-
spect, but in addition-and this is
more important as the reconstruc-
ton era dawns-he holds the belief
that the mutual confidence he is so
eager to establish can best be gained
by fair dealing and profitable deal
ing between the business counters
Of the United States and Brazil. In
Dr-rPessoa's opinion, the start should
be made through business channels.
In his cooperation with the Amer
lean peace delegation at Paris, in his
utterances since he has reached the
shores of his northern neighbor, and
even in his activity before leaving

Now, as head of the United

commercial promotion to cement
the bonds of good will between his
country and it's northern neighbor,
the United States of America.

if Ireland were only three or four
hundred miles further from Eng

"The whole world is against Eng.

nations ofthe empire-Australia and
Canada. Some of those people
though, can't understand why we
i don't want to remain in the good
British empire We are a separate
nation with different ideals and we
want to rule ourselves without in
reference"
Priests
One Of the most noticeable fea-
lures about the crowd that cools it's
heels in Professor de Valera's ante
room is the number Of Roman
Catholic priests in the assemblage.
After landing in the United States
last week (the date has been pretty
definitely established as Wednes-
day, June 18) Professor de Valera
lost little time in getting to the
Carmelite Priory in East Twenty
ninth Street. The assistant general
of that order is the Rev. Father
Peter Magennis, who is also presi-
dent Of the Friends of Irish Free
dom. 1t was there that President
de Valera slept when in New York
until he finally revealed himself last
Monday at the Waldorf-Astoria.
During that period Of mystery he
visited Cardinal Gibbons in Balti-
more. Then, after meeting several
members of the United States Sen
ate IN Washington Zone Of them has
! been described by man close to De
Valera as more powerful than the
individual members of President
Wilson's Cabinet'), he went to Bos-
ton and sought an audience with
Cardinal O'Connell, but was unable
to see him.
De Valera was asked by newspaper
men what he hoped to accomplish by
hic visits to the princes Of the
Roman Catholic Church. and he

tunity. For the first time in his
tory there promises to be an ade-
quate shipping service between this
country and Brazilian ports. Bra
zil, on the other hand, is preparing
to increase greatly her productive
capacity. DR.. Pessoa has declared
his countrys greatest problem was
economic, and among the chief items
of his presidential programme Is
the development Of several northern
provinces by American methods of
agriculture and irrigation. The
cotton production, too, he plans to
increase by the introduction of
American ideas of cultivation and
ginning. He even has declared his
hopes Of importing American engi-
neering skill and American capital
for the development of his coun-
try's potential wealth. These steps
all mean that Brazil will have en-
larged supplies of raw products to
sell the United States. America,
her peace-time productive capacity
at the greatest height in its history,
is prepared to handle increased de-
mands from Brazil. There is no
commercial antagonism here. 1t
has been said that individuals agree
when making money together. Ger
tainly, here is another axiom which
also may be applied to nations.
And, as DR.. Pessoa remarked in
Paris, the bond between Brazil and
the United States should be fur
ther strengthened by the oppor-
tunity both countries have, almost
standing alone, to aid by their nat
ural resources the efforts Of impov-
erished Europe in regaining her
feet
1t has been suggested that DIR.
Pessoa might combine official busi-
ness with his personal visit to the
United States. Commercial treaties
Of reciprocity between the two coun-
tries have been urged in the last
few years. An agreement by which
the United States and Brazil could
cooperate more closely during the
reconstruction period has been pro-
posed. Another suggestion is a
financial treaty for the permanent
stabilization of currency. Whether
DR.. Pessoa will act upon any of
these plans has not been indicated.
He has made it plain, however, that
his election to the presidency,
unhampered by political promises,
gives him keen pleasure.
New-York tribune., 1919-06-29

Rio de Janeiro, the new President OF
Brazil has indicated this is the
psychological moment for strength
ening the ties of friendship and
trust between the two greatest re-
publics of the Americas. A mutual
respect based on tradition has been
developed to the point of unusual
significance in recent years by con-
crete evidences of the amity which
exists between the republics Of the
northern and southern continents.
Our Constitution as Guide
DR.. Pessoa points out, first, that
when Brazil cast aside her royalist
robes in 1889 and donned the more
democratic garments Of republican
ism, it was the Constitution Of the
United States which was used as
model in framing the new Brazilian
document. On the subject Of Pan
Americanism, Brazil, probably more
than any other South American
country, has seen eye to eye with vie
United States. 1t was Rodrigues
Alves, the late President of Brazil,
whom DR.. Pessoa succeeds, who said:
"Unquestionably Brazil stands
for Pan-Americanism, having been
for years in closest sympathy with
the United States and seemingly
having understood the Washington
policy better than some others have.
Brazil has everything she desires
territorially and she covets nothing
of her neighbors'. Naturally she
recognizes that the United States is
equally endowed and equally un-
covetous. Brazil has never taken
seriously the myth that the United
States is ambitious for territorial
acquisition"
Prcsident~clect Pessoa has not
stopped at indorsing this sentiment.
He has declared, in addition, that
Brazil mot only recognizes the
Monroe Doctrine but has always
recognized it," The inclusion Of the
Monroe Doctrine in the league of
nations covenant, according to his
opinion, ''is a domestic question Of
the United States alone"
His Help at Paris
That this statement is not merely
The empty utterance of a diplomat
trained in the school of tactful
speech is borne out by the coopera-
ton which DR.. Pessoa gave the
American peace delegation in
Paris. Assistance rendered at Paris,
moreover, was mutual. DR.. Pessoa
already has expressed the gratitude
Of himself and the Brazilian people
for the support received at the
peace conference from President
Wilson.
There is the fact, too-a fact for
history to record - that Brazips
declaration of war against Ger
many, despite the presence of an
influential German colony, quickly
followed the example Of the United
States.
DR.. Pessoa, however, has indi-

Election a Surprise

This came about by political
triumph which was total surprise
to him. Leaving Rio de Janeiro
with no idea of becoming a candi-
date for president, his name never
having been mentioned in that con-
nection, a few months later he re-
ceived a cablegram in Paris with
the brief announcement, "Congratu-
lations." Not until a later message
informed him Of his election did he
appreciate the significance of the
congratulations. In Brazil, one

Seventeen boys from city play
grounds went to the McCormick's

been there for the last week, re-
turned to their homes to-day. James

camp director as in former years.
Mr.. Shope has had much experience
in outdoor sports and in handling
crowds of youngsters at various
times and is well qualified for the
position, Mr.. Staples said. A larger
crowd of boys is expected next week.
Those who went to camp to-day
were Ernest White, Harry Young,

CHAPTER XNNvII.

Copyright 1919 Starr Coz
Excuse me, my dear, fer bossins
your chauffeur" Helen Goddard said
after she had given her excited
directions to David.
These directions had not been fol-
lowed, however, until his employer 5
daughter had seconded them by
Yes, Smith,-drive anywhere you
think best. Only let us get there
as soon as possible"
Then Deslree had leaned back ind
gazed straight ahead. She was more
agitated by the turmoil about her
than she would admit.
For the streets and avenues were
rapidly filling with people. All were
excited - numbers of them were
laughing; some of them were cry
ing.
"Desiree, I apologized to you just
now" Helen said.
Desiree tried to smile, but her
lips twitched nervously. "Oh,-Gid
you? What did you say? All, yes
I emember-something about Smith
wasn't it?"
u only asked your pardon for Civ
ing him an order"
That's all right" her companion
rejoined absent-mindedly.
You see," Helen tried to explain,
he is so different from a regular
chauffeur that l answered his sug-
gestion as to where we should so
just as if he had been man l
really knew. l should think you
would forget that he is an amploye.
He has such lovely manners that he
is a real puzzle to me-"
do not let him puzzle you too
I've I1siS y
Really. while Smiths manners are
good, he is hardly such Il wonder
as your comments would seem TO
indicate"
We'll, I am sure there is some
thing mysterious about him" Helen
Goddard declared. Il made up my
mind to that some time ago. l Won
dered then if you had noticed it,"
Noticed what?"
"Oh-only that he has an air
about him." Helen replied.
Most people have an air of one
kind or another about them was
the non committal answer.
Then both girls lapsed into silence
Helen was chiding herself for hav-
ing discussed the chauffeur with her
friend. The romance she had built
up about him as person with a
mysterious past Was ali ASI Wv a.
She had determined not to mention
her suspicious to her friend. Not
only did she shrink from Desiree's
ridicule, but if Smith was, as Helen
fondly hoped, "a reformed some
body trying to keep straight" it
would not be kind to suggest this to
his employer
Desiree's silence was due to the
fact that her heart was so full of
the meaning of the signing of the
armistice that she scarcely dared
allow herself to speak. There was
a lump in her throat and a tugging
at her heart-strings.

CITY'S GROWTH IS
HELD UP BY BAN
ON CHILDREN
No Homes Can Be Found For
Rent; Apartments Are
Closed

"Children-a blessing or other
wise"
While this proposition has been
decided IN each case in favor of
them being a blessing, nevertheless
it has been raised and considered
sometimes silently and sometimes
otherwise, in more than a score of
families desirous of locating in Har-
risburg. All that prevents them
from coming here is the fact that
they are blessed with offspring and
cannot find a house for rent
That this number of families are
prevented from coming to Harris
burg because they have children,
is the substance of a statement made
by Mrs. Bessie Boone, housing sec
retary of the Harrisburg Cham ber
of Commerce. More than so chill
dren are included in the several
families.
There are a few apartments Of
fered for rent, but they are re-
stricted to families made up entirely
OF adults. No children are wanted,
the would-be-renter is politely in
formed.
Two hundred and forty-siX persons
have been referred to suitable living
quarters as result of the activities
of the Housing Bureau of the Har-

"Hunches" or premonitions are
out of my line. Yet it was a
"hunch" that impelled' me to agree
to lunch with Tom Mason and Dick
West.
When Jim had his Ana! interview
with Dick West - the Interview
that led TO severing their business
relations he had been compelled
TO break bread with the man in or
der TO make sure of that elusive
person. That had been for Phoebe.
surely I mustn't hesitate to make
similar distasteful arrangements
for Jim's sake. OF course, l didn't

that he wanted to serve Jim. More

that West might actually persuade
him to try to put something over on
