Trip Meets With Approval oe Pres
hent Coolidge and Secretary Kel.
loeg-Only Continent Where he
Has Never Bnea.

Stanford University. CAL. Nov. 10
N-Herbert Hoover contemplates
spending ~ days on . tour Of
South America, the only continent
upon which he has yet to set foot,
before returning to Washington for
his Inauguration on March I. a.
president Of the United States.
Under present plans he will sail
from = Pacific coast port, probably
San Diego. within fortnight. and
end his long journey at some point
on the Atlantic seaboard early In
January, thus spending Christmas
either In South America or on the
high sehS.
Goodwin Trip
In desiring to visit the other
America, the president-elect has the
two-fold purpose Of fostering good
will between his own country and
those states to the south. and Of
getting q closeup view Of the prob
lens OF the Latin-American states.
Friends Of the president-elect
emphasize that this IL to be In no
sense a diplomatic mission. but
purely one of good will. Thus the
president-elect would keep clear OF
any discussion OF pending diplo-
matte questions such as Tacna-
africa, adhesion to the BRAND Kel-
logg peace treaty denouncing war.
and tariff questions which have
been the subject Of exchanges be-
tween the American government
and some OF the South American
countries.
While the personnel Of the party
which would make the trip has not
vet been made up. the expectation
is that Hoover will be accompanied
by an official of the state depart
ment, which. under the leadership
Of President Coolidge. has fostered
the proposed good will mission.
Party's Makeup
In tho party also would be sew
eral OF Mr.. Hoover's advisers in
cluding his secretary. George Aker-
son. and 4 limited number Of news
paper correspondents and news
cameramen. Should the conten-
plated journey be embarked upon.
and there 10 no doubt here that It
will be as soon as diplomatic ex-
changes between Washington and
all the countries to be visited have
been completed. 1t would constitute
precedent. for never In history

dent-elect of the United States Wis
