presided and where the most import
ant leaders of industry and business

maintained on the details of the plans
adopted since the group felt that

against the project.

foreign tour will cover the entire
globe and will be for the specific pur-
pose of providing an incentive for the
nations visited to commence thinking
in terms of everlasting peace. Dele
gates from the people of each nation
will attend the First International
Peace Conference which will be held
at King Solomon's Temple in Phila-
delphia during six months of next

Mr. Hill, who was at one time pres
ident of twelve of the important rail
roads in this country, has long been
deeply interested in the cause of
peace During the war he was active
in all that tended toward an early set
tlement, and was of great assistance
to Belgium, France and England and
to Japan of which he has been special
advisor to the government for twenty
years. During 1922 he arranged the
celebration whereby this country and
Canada commemorated one hundred
years of peace. AS the everlasting
symbol of this peace Mr.. Hill erected
the Peace Portal on the border be-
tween British Columbia and the State
of Washington. This great monu-
ment, which cost him more than
100000, was dedicated in the pres
ence of President Harding and the
Canadian Governor-General by Mar
shall Joffre, whom Mr. Hill brought
to this country and later took around
the world in the interests of peace
The peace Portal was considered of

ment and the Congress of the United
States passed resolutions of thanks
to Mr.. Hill for establishing a perma-
nent memorial to peace and good
will existing between the two coun-
tries.
Ever since that time he has been
untiringly at work for peace. During
the past few years Mr.. Hill has Wis
tied practically all the nations of
the world and conferred with their
most prominent citizens on methods
of guaranteeing peace. He has look.
ed forward to the celebration of the
one hundred and fiftieth anniversary
of the Declaration of independence
as the time when the world peace
movement should be crystalized by
the adoption of a definite educational
plan suitable for all nations
Realizing that the Peace Portal
stands as an everlasting symbol of
peace between Canada and this coun-
try, Mr.. Hill sought for some such
outstanding edifice to serve as the
symbol of worldwide peace. It was
for this purpose that King Solomon's
Temple was chosen. The Temple
which will be the first authentic re-
storation of history's most famous
structure, will be the outstanding
feature of the Sesqui-centennial In
ternatiOnal Exposition to commemor-
ate the one hundred and fiftieth an
niversary of the Declaration of Amel-
lean independence. The peace dele
gates from the entire world will meet
at the Temple and hold their confer
ences here Within the Temple will
be adopted the comprehensive educa-
tional program which is to teach
peace in place of war to the youth
of all nations Mr.. Hill is deeply
interested in the restoration of King
Solomon's Temple, since he feels that
it will be forever the symbol of ever
lasting world peace to which he and
his associates are devOtirg their
lives.
When Mr. Hill leaves on his world
peace tour he will be accompanied
by representative leaders of practi-
cally every walk of life in this coun-
try, many of whom are thoroughly
familiar with European conditions.
