NEW YORK. May 16.-Citizens OF
countries bordering on the Pacific
Ocean will gather in Honolulu July
1919 to discuss Mental Disarna-
ment." DIR. Ray Lyman Wilbur. presi-
dent Of Stanford University and chair
man of the Institute of Pacific Rela-
tions, announced yesterday.
1t will be the first gathering under
auspices Of the institute since the
meeting at the time Of It's formation
in 1925.
with half the population Of the
world living in countries bordering on
the Pacific" DIR. Wilbur said. ''the
need for mental disarmament is ap-
parent. Certainly in the domain Of
science and education we should be
able to come to mutual understanding.
Both science and education now con-
tribute so definitely to political and
national life that IL we can under
stand each other in science and edu-
cation we can work out common
points Of view which will avoid con-
fiict. s-s
There is the hope that out Of
friendly understandings and contracts
there may develop relationships in the
Pacific so that this ocean will not
have to play the bloody part which
the Atlantic has taken in recent Gen.
