Harriss had held the Griffs to one

BY VISITING EDITOR
Jorge Mitre of BuenoS Aires
Says Press Congress
Is Like League.
BY JORGE NIITRE.
Editor and publishcr. La Nacion. Bueno

EDITOR ana lubhshcr. La Ndcloh puo"'9
n is o sincerA pleasure for me to
convev to the American public my
greetings. | am very pleased with
the progress made by the Pan-Am
lean Press Congress. | gladly ac
cented the invitation to attend, al
though it meant prolonged absence
from my duties in Argentina. qua
this because l was keenly sensible
of the Importance of gathering at
which the leaders of public opinion
in 81 republics are assembled.
Since I have been in Washington
] have hran even mere impressed with
the pos aibility for good that lies in
the hands of the journalists gathered
here. In a measure, congress OF
journalists is always more or less a
kind Of League of Nations ina Smuch
as it represents the advanced intel
lectual development of every coun-
try.
Offered Two Proposals.
In my speech before the press con-
gress | outlined my ideas of the part
the press can play in international at
fairs. In addition. | have submitted
two propositions to the press congress
for its consideration. In one / pro
posed the establishment of a salon of
L
of the PAN American Union and in the
other | proposed that the Pan-Ameri-
can Union should organize a series of
international sports contests. | be-
lieVe the intermingling of races in the
fields of sport offers unique opportunlS
ties to develop an understanding of
the best characteristics of any people.
The program before the Pan nAmeri-
can Press Congress is broad in It's
scope and is capable of producing not
only a unanimity of opinion, but con-
crete results There is already de-
veloping a spirit of cordiality and
understanding among the delegates,
and l have the greatest hopes that
when we leave the warm hospitality
of Washington the delegates from
Latin American countries will have a
clearer idea of the high idealism of the
United States and each other.
Sees Common Purpose.
We all have one common purpose
the promotion of international good
will and the fomenting of the friend
ly relations necessary for the eStab-
lishment of durable peace.
In this way ! feel that the Pan
American Press Congress can compile
ment in a serviceable way the work
being done by the League of Nations
in striving to eradicate misunderstood
ingS and develop a constructive pro-
gram designed to produce world
amity. We have two functions. One
is to foster the interests of our own
countries by encouraging the de-
velopment of industry and trade. The
other is in the broader field of CO
operative international effort. ! have
the highest hopes that the cordial de-
liberations of this congress will prove
that these two detectives are in no
way incompatible.

the Belmont section, State Auditor
Ebert D. Hayford has written to H.
A. Day of Bangor. in charge of the

"The Kennebec Journal this morn
ing contained a letter from a reader
dated Searsmont, Maine, in which a
complaint is made for the crew now
working on the Augusta Belfast
Highway who have had their pay held
back for three weeks.
We make payments here weekly.
In looking up this matter / find that
only one pay roll has been submitted
to this office this year from Mr.. Day.
That pay rool approved by Mr.. Day
appears to have been received by the
Highway Commission May II accord
ing to the dating stamp on the back
of the pay roll. 1t reached this Of
flee May 14th and was Immediately
audited and placed in the warrant
to be paid on May 18th, today. Check

State Forest commissioner, whose
office Is making complete study of
the development of the States
hardwoods, also Percy Todd, presi-
dent of the Bangor & Aroostook
Railroad. who has given much valua-
BILE information through experts en-
ployed by him.
The officers of the Maine Hard
wood Association are Clarence c..
Stetson, president: Blaine S. Viles,
vice president; and Haven Sawyer,
secretary treasurer.
The development of Names hard
woods comes in the general program
of the States development and pub
licity campaign which has been going
on along broad lines for the past
year under the stimulus and active
support given 1t by governor Brew
ster and the Governors Council.
Major General Mark l.. Hersey
recently appointed executive direc-
tor of the Maine Associates, which
comprises the Maine Publicity Bu-
reau, the State Chamber of Com
merce and Agricultural League, and
the Maine Development Association.
all of which are headed by the Gov
ernor and Council, will give his i'm
mediate attention to the hardwoods
situation and will bring to head
the work already done and devise
the best way of bringing Names
possibilities in this industry to
interested outside parties.
The surveys made show the tim
Der area in Michigan is listed as
100000 acres and that the supply
of logs here cannot last long under
present demands.
The surveys in North Carolina and
West Virginia showed that with the
exception of a few large holdings.
the best and most available stands
of hardwood have been cut. In West
Virginia particularly, the coal indus
try makes tremendous demands in
the form of mine props on the hard
woods, taking from two to three
acres of woodlands to mine one acre
of coal land. At Richmond, Va, 1t
was admitted that 1t would be diff
cult to supply fair sized mill over
a short period of years. 1t was also
learned that freight rates on hard
wood lumber to New York districts
We're about the same as In Maine.
In North Carolina, due to inflated
land values with corresponding high
tax rates, it was found that the large
lumber interests were looking toward
Maine for future development.
In short the surveys now made
show that the hariwoods in other
sections are nearly depleted and that
within q few years outside interests
must turn to Maine.
Considerable surprise was shown
in the various sections visited that
Maine had 100000 acres in timber
lands as yet scarcely touched and
great impression was made with the
obvious advantage that a hardwood
development in Maine would have in
the eastern markets that represent
some of the most thickly populated
centres in the country.
A booklet on hardwoods is now In
process of making under direction
of the State Forest Commissioner.
This will include ten plates-maps
showing different sections of the
State where hardwood stands are
located. There will be one key map
of the whole State showing general
location Of hardwood stands, rail-
roads and water powers.
