efactor Of the arts. The exhibit at the
| Baltimore Museum will last for six
weeks, at the end of which the paint
ings will be taken to the leading cities
| of the United States and then pass to
Canada for similar exhibition purposes.
Two thousand dollars in prizes to be
| awarded for the best work Of exhibitors
are announced.
Artists from Argentina, Brazil, Cuba,
Uruguay, Bolivia, Ecuador, Guatemala,
| Costa Rica, Panama and Honduras are
| participating in this artistic exhibition,
which has been initiated through the
conviction that cultured minds OF the
United States should know more about
the work that trained minds and hands
are producing In Latin America"
Almost coinciding with the announce
ment Of this Pan-American exhibition
of art, the Library of Congress, in
Washington, received valuable collec-
ton of rs books Of prominent Uru-
guayan writer's, donated by the Ma
tional Library of Montevideo, for the
purpose Of "furthering photographic in
terchange" among the Americas. SINH
lar donations Of celebrated books by ma
ceived during the last few months from
Argentina, Brazil and other Latin
American countries.
The Uruguayan collection includes
educational texts on the history, geog-
raphy and natural resources Of that
republic, the outstanding literary works
Of her most distinguished poets and
philosophers, juridical and legislative
codes and a series Of varied books on
current Uruguayan affairs and prob
lens Of Pan-American relations.
These instances, coming soon after
the establishment Of committees OF in
tellectual cooperation - the brain
trusts" as they have been cleverly re-
ferred to In the countries Of the West
ern hemisphere-give an encouraging
assurance that the value Of cultural
factors Is at last being realized by those
intrlIsted with the promotion Of inter-
American understanding and friend
ship.
With frequency almost tiresome, we
have been repeating here, once and
again, and no matter how close the
political relations nor how strong the
economic links uniting both Americas,
the program of the Pan-American
cause will never be complete so long
as the cultural aspect, that which re-
fers to the things Of the mind, is not
also taken into consideration and given
the outstanding place that it COM
mands.
After all, at the bottom Of all politi-
cal antagonisms and economic differ
ences is always the lack of spiritual I'M
derstanding and intellectual knowledge.
To work for better cultural acquaint-
ance between the Saxon and Latin
Americas is to work for a sooner real1-
Zation of the Pan-American ideals.

nautical department of the Toxic insti-
tuition, and before completing the aerial
part OF his journey he will probably
have flown at least $500 miles. Six
students of aviation at Hosei have been
selected as candidates for the trip, and

will be chosen. Accompanied by Ryo-
taro Kumazawa, an aviation instructor
at the university, the student will fly
by way Of Siberia, making stops at
Seoul, Korea; Hardin, Manchuria; Chita,
Omsk and Moscow; Berlin, Brussels,
London, Paris and Rome. The plane

purpose Of the trip is to promote inter-
national friendship and stimulate inter-
est in aviation, according to DR.. Masa-
nosuke Akiyama, chairman of the board
Of directors of Hosei University, and
also of the committee in charge of the
proposed flight. If it proves practical,
other such trips may be made in sue
ceeding years and student aviators from
other countries invited to ny to Japan.

for the balloting, and the minister
Of labor was authorized to prepare
at once a decree to be submitted to

On the results Of the election will

Although the government Of the
republican leader, Niceto Alcala

Board Takes Stand Against
Any Action to Cancel Land

The park board today was COM
nited to a stand against taking any
action to cancel lease on city land
held by the woodstock Country

to invalidate the lease, holding that
the city legally can not lease park
land to private groups.

of the board, and A. H. Moore,
city engineer and ex-oficio mem

Circuit Judge Harry o. Chamber

continues.
Moore is said to favor George t.
