Pan-American Commerce.

More than five hundred delegates,
representing the governments, Cham
bers of Commerce and other trade or
PLANTATIONS of the United States and
every other one of the twenty-one re-
publics of North and South America,
assembled in Washington at the Hall
Of the Americas this morning. They
will remain in session all week in at
tendance at the Fourth Pan American
Commercial Conference. InterAmeri-
can trade problems will form the theme
Of their deliberations.
Secretary of State Stimson today well
coined the representatives of the sister re-
publics. On Thursday President Hoover
will address them. Before the confer
ence adiourns messages of appropriate
import will be delivered by other prom
inent spokesman of the United States,
while, of course, eqlSlly important
statements will be forthcoming on be-
half of our Latin friends and neighbors.
Vast changes have taken place
throughout the southern segment of
the Western Hemisphere since Pan
America last assembled in conference
Revolution has spread through South
and Central America during the past
year Old regimes, long and supposedly
firmly established, were uprooted as If
they were built on nothing more stable
than shifting sands. New men are at
the helm in the "A B c. countries
Argentina, Brazil and Chile-and else
where in South and Central America.
Latin governments come and 60, but
one tie unites their respective coun-
tries indissolubly to the Colossus of
the North" That tie is the bond of
commerce.
Ways and means for making it a
stronger tie will form the bedrock of
this weeks discussions at the Pam
American Union. Doubtless our visi-
tors from the South are chiefly inter-
ested in hearing what spokesman of
the United States may have to say
about the American tariff law. Some
of the Latin countries, notably Argen-
tina, level bitter complaints against
our protective system, especially its
latest flower, the Hawley-Smoot law.
1t is, of course. the Congress of the
United States, not a Pan-American
commercial conference, which alone
can afford tariff relief to countries
which consider that Uncle Sans GUS
toms policy treats them unfairly. But
it is within the province of such as
semblies as the one to which Wash
ington now is host, to air their griev-
ances. Latin America is our best Gus
toner among the earth's continents.
For that, if for no other reason, it
is entitled to the maximum of liberal
consideration of its desires to invade
our market under favorable conditions.

Growers May Forsake
Debt-Dealing Cotton
From the Charlotte IN. o. News

From the Charlotte IN. o. News.
Surely it will not be debated by the
cotton growers as they take this years
production to the markets and find that
the receipts will not be sufficient to
hquidate their fertilizer accounts that
they must be done with cotton as a
major money crop. It is no longer a
money crop-it is debt-dealing crop
at prices now prevailing, which prices
may relatively continue for quite a while,
or course, that is easy enough to say,
much easier than to point a construc-
tive way for the cotton planter to fol-
low or to suggest to him some substi-
tue for his major agricultural activities.
But one must be found. It Is obviously
suicidal for him to continue putting his
main dependence upon form of occu-
patton from which he not only makes
no profit, but which actually costs him
for the privilege Of engaging in it.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Criticism.
The novelist will criticize
The manners of his day;
The Socialist in accents wise
Will seek to bring dismay.
The college teacher shows us where
We're organized all wrong,
There's criticism everywhere,
In prose or f1ippant song.
Each person says, II am the elf
To whom the rest should bow.
I do not need to work myself,
I'll tell the others how"
Oh, who will run the homes with care
And who will till the soil,
If critics gather everywhere
And no one wants to toll?

Mann, director of the National Zoo. Is
on his way to South American jungles.
Goes Well Equipped:
Armed with traps. nets, snares and
special cases; he will spend the next
two months under British Guiana
tropical sun collecting little-known
birds, beasts and reptiles for the Ma
tional Capitals menagerie.
The web-footed dog is jungle AMI
NAL with a queer singing whine. Its
feet are a survival from some prehiS-
toric ancestor that lived in the water.
The Surinam toad. whose children
hop out into the world from the skin
OF their mothers back, also will be
sought by DR.. Mann. Eggs are laid by
the mother toad in the usual way, but
the male then presses them into cavities
In the mothers leathery skin. There
the eggs hatch, the young toads go
through the tadpole stage still nestled
In their mothers hide and hop out as
1ull-f1edged young toads.
Giant Anteater Sought.
The Surinam toads developed this
way of Matching their young, says DR..
Mann, because water sometimes is too
scarce in the jungle to bring young
toads through the tadpole stage In quiet
FOOLS, as young bullfrogs are brought up
In America.
A giant anteater, or ant bear" that
tucks itself carefully into bed each
night under its own blanket, Is another
specimen the expedition hopes to bring
back. The blanket" is the long hairy
fringe that Is attached to the animals

The great hairy eagle, which has the
most powerful claws Of any known bird,
also will be sought 1t stands only
about 3 feet high, but is strong enough
to carry away jungle animals as big as

(Nr1r Ypfk Her0d TibunD
Perhaps as gallant a gesture
as any IN the face Of demo-
cratic time spirit is constituted
by the impending four courts to
be held at st. JameS'S ; in London
in accord with regal tradition
and despite the existence Of a
Labor government.
In an age characterized by the
decline Of royalty and royal in
stitutiOns throughout the CONT
nent Of Europe there is a sym
bOlism in these ultimate express
sions Of privilege and preroga-
tive in England which cannot be
ignored, an indication that what
ever mutations and decline may
be suffered by the throne and
scepter in other nations there Is
but little inclination toward the
abatement of court splendor in
the realm Of Albion.
THE almost theatrical rich
ness Of the scene on presentation
evenings, the hrilliance Of the
gold lace and decorations Of the
! diplomatic corps, the music, the
| lights from hundred Candida
bra, and, finally, the symbolic
presence of ma jesty in dual per-
son all combine to furnish a
spectacle whose equal can no
longer be witnessed in the West
ern World.
| As one of the last strOnghOlds
of fully accredited royalty the
English court looks with ap-
parent serenity upon catastro-
phe and confusion among the
other thrones of Europe, upon a
Labor government at home and
upon the dark cloud of Com
munist Russia. Doubtless its
own lange.=iity y-defipes in na
small measure from this aSSur-
ance, and to the student of social
manifestations it cannot but ap-
pear a permanent institution,
a constitutional magniticence
among the less colorful govern
ments of an era of diplomatic
broadcloth and starched linen.
