Washington. Jan. 19-The four

of the newly organized Pan Pacific
Union, in an address tonight before
the National Council for Limitations

Lodge as having said that "if there

have driven the first piling home and
the nations of the Pacific have al
ready begun to gather material for
che laying of the foundation and
with the help of a hoping world the
structure will grow to completion.
1T has been clearly shown in
Washington that the old world pow
ers look forward to the time when
they will gladly trust the coun-
tries of the Pacific to manage their
own affairs. 1t has also been clearly
dem onstrated in Washington that the
countries of the Pacific are learning
to trust each other and to deserve to
be so trusted. When the time comes,
as it will, that the peoples of the Pa
cific grow in education until they
themselves understand and trust each
other, then the countries about the
greatest of oceans will work together
for their joint advancement and there
will be no more spheres of influence
nor need of them. The one fleet
then afloat will give police protection
to the whole world. We have seen
the dawn of this great era here at
