LESSON TAKEN
FROM PILGRIMS
Speakers at Opening Of Oh
servance Extol Faith and
Courage.

A program featured with ad-
dresses by Canon L. A. Burroughs.
Of Edinburgh Cathedral. and Bishop
william +. Mcdowell, Of Washing
ton at the Central Auditorium open
ed an eisht-dsy commemoration In
the District OF the Landing Of the
Pilgrims. Robert Lansing, former
Secretary Of State. presided and in
troduced the speakers with the COM
mentary that the Pilgrims were not
Americans alone. but Anglo-saxons
whose courage and spirit were rev.
cred wherever the English tongue
was spoken"
The necessity of faith was the
theme of Cannon Burroughs' dis
course. That the world was losing
its direction and could regain its
senses only by repossessing itself of
the spirit OF the Pilgrim fathers,
was one of his statements enlarged
upon by later speakers. ''The goal
of all society Is the kingdom OF God
and IL 10 only by new and enlarged
phases VI N Tellk-
ion that the goal can be attained, /"
he said.
Bishop Mcdowell consoIed those
present who traced no kinship to the
Pilgrims by averring that all could
feel the spirit OF the Pilgrims and
could say that they. too. would have
braved the oceans depths under lke
conditions, had they been alive 500
years ago. But n we do claim kim
ship, we must show today that same
indomitsble will that 800 years from
now will be commemorated as we

Government Can Invoke Its
Rights IN Dispute With

Although officials Of the State

known that the government can

the war powers TO see that its cable

Under his wartime authority,

United states.
The existing situation was agra
waited yesterday when IL became
known that the Western Union had
served notice on the United States
shipping Board that IL must pay
full rate on all west bound cable
messages. Originally the Shipping
Board was notified that Il would be
forced to pay cash In advance. as
the cable company is attempting 10
make the State Department do. This
was later modified. The only action
taken by Admiral william S. Ben
son, chairman, was TO Instruct all
foreign agents of the United States
Shipping Board TO use other com
panIes wherever possible.

what the government owes the

WAR IS NOT NECESSARY
Foreign Investors Entitled

A tone of optimism as to the fu-

its relations with American oil in
terests. was expressed Wednesday
night by Frederic r. Kellogg. coun-
sci for the Mexican Petroleum Com
pany, in a speech before members OF
the American Petroleum Institute at
the New willard Hotel
The surface indications, he said.
are that President Obregon, as well
rs leading Mexican citizens, realize
that Mexico took a wrong step in
its hostility toward American oil
interests, and that future relations
will take broader and more tolerant
lines.

Predicts World Rivalry.
Richard Airey, an Englishman.
and vice president of the Roxana
Petroleum Company, of the Royal
Dutch group, predicted an intense
rivalry in the pursuit OF oil as the
result of a new vision acquired by
European nations in the past few
years. but declared that the United
States was so strongly intrenched
in the great reservoir of oil that
1t would be well-nigh impossible TO
Ngrest the lead from her even If
there was a desire to do so.
W. G. Teagle, president of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jer-
sey. said that while the American
petroleum industry Is not apprehen-
siye over the efforts OF foreign gov
crnments to acquire new sources OF
supply. il cannot but be disturbed
over the avowed policy of reserving
such sources in countries under
their control or influence for their
own exclusive advantage.
George Otis Smith. director of the
Geological Survey. declared that the
gap between production and con-
sumption OF crude oil never was SO
wide as it is now.
