URGES PAN
AMERICAN TRADE
Abolition of Passports is
First Step Towards
the Goal
STRONG LETTER is
MAILED TO HUGHES
Says Britain. France and Italy Will Get
Rich Business of Countries TO the South
Unless Quick Action Is Taken -
Gives Production Statistics.

CHICAGO, April l2.-Abolition of
passport requirements on the American
continent Is advocated by President b.
SiAger. of the Pan-American Consular
association.
President Singer, who Is CONSUL gem
eral and who represents the consulates
of Salvador and Costa Bfca here, in
letter to Secretary of State Hughes con
tends that the doing away with the
passport requirements entirely, or at
least make the United States passport
serve for the twenty-One countries on
this continent, would develop trade with
the LatIn-Amerlcan republics as well
a. serve to make the peoples of these
countries combine business with pleas
ure in their visits.
The letter to Secretary of State
Hughes, which also was sent to Secre-
tary Hoover. the direct or general OF the
Pan-American union and Senator Nc
CormiCk. says:
TO develop the trade between the
Latin-American republics and the
United States. the an-American Con
sular association in Chicago started a
campaign in the year of 1919 with good
results. The manufacturers aSsocla
tions and individuals were induced to
visit the Central and South American
republics.
Americans should support first of
all the Americans Tourists and man
ufactureTs, instead of visiting Europe
with about twenty vises pasted on
their passports from each of the foreign
consulates. ought to support their own
land, the Americas. and by SO doing
combine pleasure with business. We
ought to abolish on the American CONT
nent the passport requirements. which
hinder trade.
American citizens must pay $40 for
passport By the time they secure
the vses it costs them 500 and figuring
attached to the passports it costs an
other 500. as it costs from - to SO for
Viseng Il passport At each consulate.

that England is able TO produce her

VIII Pass Peace Sill.

OF course, the making of peace by
congressional resolution will mark Il
precedent in American history. Hereto
fore wars have been ended by the rati-
ticTtiOn of treaties. But the convincing
argument has been made that at this
late date there is no sound reason why
America should be deprived of certain
commercial opportunities because of the
existence of a technical state of war
The procedure proposed in this instance
would divide the treaty-maEing task
| into two Darts-a declaration by Con
| gress and a treaty afterwards. The first
requires only Il majority vote of both
houses. but the second must be ap.
proved by a twO-thirds vote of the sen
ate alone. The Democrats have big
a peace treaty, II they wish. 1t Is prob
| able they will be consulted in making
| the new peace pact.
! 1t IS too early to say what the separ
ate treaty will be like, except to state
la few general principles. First. it viii
| be satisfactory to the allies and arrived
| at after complete exchange of views
! with out principal associates i'll the
war. Second it Will adopt as many
| portions of the Versailles treaty as Is
! feasible and such as Will preserve The
solidarity of the allies and eliminate
| America from obligations of enforce
ment. Third, it will afford no Opportun
| ity to Germany to escape her obliga
tions to the allies, with respect to pay
ment of the damage done in the war
Finally, the supporters of the separat,
treaty bring forth another idea OF
which they place much emphasis. 1t j.
that Great Britain. France. Japan. Ital,
and Belgium entered into solemn
agreement not to make peace except il
unison. America entered the war with
out becoming a party to the promise
She is therefore free to make an indie
pendent peace without i'm any way dam
aging her legal record. And if tn
United states makes a peace which tn
allies regard as sympathetic with thei

SHANE FORDFAVORS SEGREGATEDAREA AS VICE REMEDY
Says District Needed To Remedy Conditions; Mass Meeting Demands Closing Of Dance Halls

Immediate close of all public dance halls in Maricopa county was demand ed in a resolution unanimously adopted at public mass meeting at the Gen. tral Methodist church yesterday after noon. The meeting sponsored by the Phoenix Ministerial union, was held for the purpose of discussing public morals.
 While the meeting was adopting this measure, Judge R. c. Stanford of the superior court unequivocally declared in favor of a segregated district as one of the necessary steps to remedy con aitions.
 Reform schemes are all right. but unless we take steps to segregate the scarlet woman and keep her apart from our children, we are making little prog ress toward the desired goal" Judge Stanford declared.
 We would close the dance halls be- cause we believe that they breed im- morality, and yet we would turn the young girls upon the streets to associ- ate with women of the underworld. We would offer our daughters to the white slave trade now plying in the United States and throughout the world.
 For Segregated District
 T favor a properly regulated segre- gated district as a real remedy for our existing social ills. To such a district we could confine the immoral and relieve a constant menace to our boys and girls. The 'promiscuous violation of our social laws will never, never

426 FOREST FIRES
 IN ARIZONA, NEW
 MEXICO. IN SEASON

Field men connected with the na- tional forests in Arizona and New Mex ico during the past season fought 426 forest fires, according to a report sub mitted to the forester by District For ester Pooler, whose headquarters are at Albuquerque. The report has been received at the Tucson forest head quarters by Supervisor H. c. Calkins.
 Forester Pooler, in his report, an alizes the fire situation throughout the Arizona and New Mexico forests during the year just closed as follows:
 "Of the total number of fires, 213 or exactly 50 per cent were located and extinguished so promptly that the area of each was less, than one-quarter acre Of the balance, 13S were held to less than 10 acres each burned over. Sev- enty-five fires remaining exceeded 10 acres each, but of these only three caused damage of over S1,000 to the forest resources.
 "One forest, the Coconino with head quarters at Flagstaff, Ariz., had by far the most fires of any in the southwest running up nearly 40 per cent of the total for the district. The bulk of these

Columbia

As Marcia Meadows, the heroine of "The Chorus Girls Romance" and the possessor of two of the most irresist- ible shoulders ever seen on or off the screen, Viola Dana proves to have found most charming characteriza- tion in the pictures being shown at Mauk's Columbia theater.
 The story, adapted from the fiction of F. Scott Fitzgerald and published originally as Head and Shoulders" in the Saturday Evening Post, has to do with an odd romance between a chorus girl whose show Is trying out in New Haven, and Horace Tarbox, a prodigy in scholarship. It seems that some of Horace's more worldly friends per suaded Marcia to go to his college rooms and see what would happen. What did happen is not what either Marcia or Horace of Horace's friends or even the audience imagined The consequent events form one of the freshest and sprightliest and most hu- man stories seen on the screen of the picture theater in many a day.
 Chief fin support with Miss Dana is Gareth Hughes as Horace, and others entrusted with important parts in the

AnluSen1entS
DOING GOOD WORK WITH YOUNG PEOPLE
 IF THE NORTH SIDE

A few months ago Miss Lucille Mid dleton was appointed secretary for the young people on the north side. The wisdom of the choice is evidenced by the story herein narrated. Miss Mid dleton has had the able assistance of her mother, Mrs. H. E. Middleton, and the young people and the children of the community have made a loyal re- sponse to a modern crusade for self improvement and helpfulness to oth- CTS.
 A bi-monthly young peoples guild whose motto is social, intellectual and civic improvement is successfully op- erating under Mrs. Middleton's lead ership. This society gave very prac- tical demonstration of it's utilitarian policy.
 The Boy Scouts meet weekly under the tutelage of Harold Kendall and Fritz Griswold. The Washington bat talion of this character building or ganization, which is military and inter er-denominational, is proving loy- al part of the Boy Scouts of America.
 The Juvenile Mission club has cho- sen Miss Miriam Stauffer as presi- dent. In a membership of some twen- ty, ages run from to 15. The girls are sewing a qnilt to prove the prag- matic plan of their constitution is not mere rhetoric. The smaller tots are being initiated into the intricate man ufacture of Kindergarten parapherna- lia. The refreshment hour is not of minor importance at this gathering.
 Matrialism was the direct cause that precipitated the world war, costing s1S6, ,000, ,000, 900 and the violent death of nearly 7,50O,000 men in the bloom of their youth. In philosophic and sci entific circles materialism has ceased to be a satisfactory explanation of things that ars mysterious. The erad- ication of the dominant materiaEstic spirit in every day life is the greatest ! problem of the twentieth century. Only in the supremacy of the spiritual and | the subjection of the sensuous can so- ciety hope to reach that far off event to which the whole creation slowly moves"
 The lineup that Miss Middleton has been able to make will create an early l discrimination in relative values wher | moral issues are at stake. He that l doeth the will of God abideth forever, is Dwight l.. Moody's epitaph at North field, Mass.
