The Pan-American Union, built mainly
through the bounty Of Andrew Carnegie,
seems destined to earn enduring fame
as a palace OF peace. Not only was it the
scene in January Of the actual negotia-
ION and signature Of peace between
China and Japan over Shantung, but
now 1t promises TO be the arena In which
Chile and Peru will fight to an amicabIe
fiRish their ancient dual over the Tacna-
africa question. The commissions which
the Chilean and Peruvian governments
shortly VIII send here for the purpose
viii make their headquarters at the Pan
American building. where all the real
business Of the Washington conference
was transacted. Latin American dipIO-
matists await the meetings OF the Joint
commission with lively interest. They
expect it TO remove the principal menace
TO South American peace now existent.
President Harding and Chairman Las
ker count confidently on congressional
and popular support for the ship sub
sidy bill in that section of the country
where additionally the subsidy idea has
fallen on deaf ears-the Middle West.
Many supporting indications to that ef-
feet have reached Washington since the
project was first preached three months
ago. Friends OF the late Marcus a.
