Enthusiastic Responses to
Peace Conference Bids
Cited by President.
Nv the Associated Press.


Voicing hope that cementing real
friendship among the American re-
pubncs would result, President Roose-
welt announced formally last evening
that preparations definitely were under
way for his proposed pan-American
peace conference at Buenos Aires.
At his press conference the Chief
Executive elaborated verbally on
prepared White House announcement
by stressing what he said was the i'm
portance Of the substantial accord to
his suggestion for the conference.
Enthusiastic responses, he said,
have been received from all the gov
ernments of Central and South Amer
lea except Paraguay. and he added
that the reply of that country was
on the way.
The text of the White House state
ment follows:
Replies have now been received
from the Presidents of all of the
American republics with the exception
of the republic of Paraguay. The let
ter addressed by the President to the
former President of Paraguay was not
received until just after the recent
overthrow of government in Paraguay.
Owing to the fact that the new gov
ernment has just been recognized by
the United States, it only has been
possible within the last few days for
the President to send similar letter
a. oF Do
1.-THE government of Paraguay, how
ever, has officially stated to the press
that if and when Col. Franco. the new
President of Paraguay, receives such
a letter from the President Of the
United States, he would be glad to
reply Immediately expressing his de-
sire to cooperate in the proposed
anter-American conference.
"All of the replies received have ex-
pressed the full and cordial approba-
ton of the Presidents suggestions and
the desire of the American republics
to cooperate enthusiastically in order
to assure the successful achievement
of the purposes indicated by the Pres
ident in his recent letter. The ma
tority of the letters received were writ
ten within 48 hours after the receipt
Of the Presidents letter.
Many of the letters contain specific
suggestions as to the program which
should be undertaken in the proposed
conference, and some Of the govern
ments have informed us that more de-
tailed and specific suggestions as to
the agenda would be communicated
shortly through diplomatic channels.
"All of the governments have eX-
pressed their accord with the Presi-
dents suggestion that the conference
be called to convene in Buenos Aires,
and the President of Argentina, in his
reply, has asked:
"'I take pleasure in offering Buenos
Aires as the seat Of the proposed con-
ference, accepting the suggestion
which your excellency formulated of
holding the conference in its midst.
I esteem it as a great honor, for
which 1 am deeply grateful
During the next weeks there will
be continuing communications be-
tween this government and the gov
ernments of the American republics
with a view to obtaining unanimous
agreement on the program and agenda
for the conference. Until it can be
ascertained how long this preparatory
period will take, no date can be fixed
for the conference"

 On arrival Richman said. "It was comfortable trip, but we are not going to fly back to America right away"
 The two landed here at 10:1i am, Eastern Standard Time.
 Richman stated "The plane ran beautifully. We didn't see the Atlantic for more than an hour at a time. Everything went according to plans except that half way across the plane went into a steep nosedrive, throwing both of us from our seats. It certainly was scare, and we had to struggle hard for a minute or two to regain control. It seemed an age before we did
 We averaged more than 200 miles per hour and sometime hit 250. The reason we weren't heard when we got near England was that the radio was out of commission while trying to talk to London. We circled around for an hour and a half trying to find landing place. There seemed to be cattle every where"
 In the flight the two flew about 3300 miles in approximately 16 hours and 38 minutes. They were reported off the Irish coast 15 hours and 40 minutes after their Brooklyn takeoff.

National Vice Commander Gives Stirring American
 zation Talk at Luncheon

tionaI Vice Commander
 Oscar Worthwine, as the prin-
 cipaI speaker at the Juneau
 Chamber of Commerce meeting
 today noon, won enthusiastic
 applause from the large aud
 fence that heard him.
 Taking his text from the first
 sentence of the preamble of the
 Constitution of the American
 Legion, "To uphold and defend
 the Constitution of the United
 States of America" the speaker
 proceeded.
 We recognize that we have nc right to dictate what form oi government any other country ol people may have, or advocate, or desire. But we are tremendously interested in our own country and preservation of our constitutional system National Vice. Commander Worthwine told his attentive aud fence.
 The American Legion, he said believes that our forefathers have handed down to us a Constitution that guarantees priceless rights to the people of this country. He pointed out that the people exercise these rights daily and that they influence our daily lives, shield us against oppression, protect us in our homes, our liberty and prop erty.
 Rights Stressed
 Included in these rights, the Le- gionnaire stressed the right of re- ligious freedom, freedom of speech freedom of the press, the right of the people peacefully to assemble and to petition the government for redress, the right to trial by jury the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches, and seizures; the pro- vision that no soldier shall in time of peace be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner nor in time of war, but in the manner prescribed by law, and no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due pro- cess of law, nor shall private prop erty be taken for public use with out just compensation, and in addi- tion to this, that the priceless right of the people in an orderly way to change this constitution to fit the social and economic condi- tions that may develop.
 These rights are not enjoved bv any of the peoples of Europe hay ing any of the new systems of government. MT. Worthwine point ed out.
 May Need Changes
 Tt may be that things in Am erica need changing, things .hat served we'll in the past may be o,,t- grown, and with the growth of this country new needs may have come ,, The speaker continued: We are faced with heavy tasks and prob- lems in going ahead with the de- velopment of America.
 We, of the Legion, believe that there IS no shortcut to a better
