NEW YORK, November, 25:-Re-
presentinr the most powerful group
OF Amer cans pledged to secure per-
rnanent peace throughout the entire
world, Samuel Hill, last of the great
pioneers of this country, win start on
a world tour in January during which
he will marshall the forces of peace
in every nation. This announcement,
made public yesterday, is which Mr..
Hin presiding and where the most i'm
portant leaders of industry and BUSH
mess discussed the methods for OBJ
tanning lasting peace. Secrecy has
been maintained on the details of the
plans adopted since the group felt that
a premature announcement would
work against the project.
Only the broad general details of
Mr.. Hills plan have become known
The world peace movement will be
launched on scale greater than any
other movement attempted and will
be backed up by definite working
plans and sufficient finance. Mr..
Hills foreign tour will cover the en-
tire globe and will be for the speci-
fic purpose of providing an incentive
for the nations visited to commence
thinking in terms of everlasting pele.
Delegates from the people of each
nation will attend the First Inter
rational Peace Conference which will
be held at King solomon's Temple in
Philadelphia during six months Of
next year.
Mr.. Hill who was at one time
president of twelve of the important
railroads of this country, has long
been deeply interested in the cause
of peace. During the war he was ac-
tive in all that tended toward an early
settlement, and was of great assist
ance to Belgium, France and England
and to Japan Of which he has been
special advisor to the government for
twenty years. During 1922 he ar
ranged 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 between British Columbia and
the State of Washington This great
monument, which cost him more than
$500 600 was dedicated in the presence
of President Harding and the Cana
dian overnor-General by Marshall
Joffre whom Mr. Hill erected the
Peace Portal was considered of such
importance that for the first time in
STORY the Cars ian Parliament and
tie Congress Of the United States
passed resolutions Of thanks to Mr..
Hill for establishing permanent
Memorial to peace and goodwill exist
ing between the two countries.
Ever since that time has been I'M
tiringly at work for peace. During the
past few years Mr. Hill has visit
ed practically all the nations of the
world and conferred with their most
prominent citizens on methods Of
guaranteeing peace He has looked
forward to the celebration Of the one
hundred and fiftieth anniversary Of
the Declaration of independence 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. 1t 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, viii be the outstanding fea-
tsre of the ore hundred and fifieth
anniversary Of the Declaration Of
America Independence. The peace de-
legates from the entire world will
meet at the Temple and hold their
conferences there Within the Tenn
pie will be adopted the comprehensive
educational program which is to teach
ps.ace in place of war to the youth
Of all nations Mr. Hill is deeply in
terested in the restoration of King
SoIomon's Temple since he feel that
it will be forever the symbol of ever
lasting world peace to which he and
associates are devoting their lives.
When Mr.. Hill leaves on his world
peace tour he will be accompanied
by resentative leaders of practically
every walk of life in this country
naany of whom are thoroughly fanni-
liar with European conditions.
