belonged to President Lincoln was be-
queathed to Mrs. Isham. During her

years eliminated in the Inter-
American Conference for the Main
tenance Of Peace at Buenos Aires,
at which significant and far-reach-
ing conclusions were reached. Az
you are aware, it was my personal
privilege to attend the opening ses-
sion and to meet many of the lead
ers Of American thought and action.
The deepest impression which I
carried away was the potency OF the
unity OF the Americas in develop
ing democratic institutions In the
New World and by example in help
ing the cause Of world peace.
One Of the outstanding lessons Of
the conference was the clear per-
ception on the part Of the delegates
Of the close relation existing be-
tween international security and
the normal development Of demo-
cratic institutions. Democracy can
not thrive in an atmosphere Of in
ternational insecurity. Such in
security breeds militarism, regimen
tatlon and the denial Of freedom OF
speech, Of peaceful assemblage and
OF religion. Such insecurity chal-
lenges the ideals OF democracy
based on the free choice Of govern
ment by the people themselves.
And as logical development we OF
the Americas believe that the con-
tinued maintenance and improve
ment Of democracy constitute the
most important guarantee OF inter-
national peace.
Moreover the delegates to the
Buenos Aires conference well un-
derstood that peace Is something
more significant than the mere
absence Of conflict. A durable
peace, one that will resist the on
slaught Of untoward or temporary
circumstance, Is something far
more positive and constructive.

$22,9DO RADIO TAX
IS SEEN FROM D. c.
Levy Suggested in Letter
From George H. Payne
to BoyIan.

Washington broadcasting stations
would have to pay total Of s22.50o
year under proposed special tax
on radio stations. designed to raise
$6,946,39 yearly.
Such q tax was suggested yester-
day in a letter written by George
Henry Payne, member Of the Com
munications Commission, to Repre-
sentative Boylan, Democrat, of New
York.
The commissioner submitted pro-
posed bill which he said he under
stood Boylan would introduce next
week. Under Paynes plan, 80 major
stations would pay 80 per cent Of the
tax.
Stations using in excess Of 10000
watts Of power would pay SO for each
watt authorized, those using between
1000 and 10000 would pay 50 and
those using 1000 or less, 81.
Under this scale, WJSV, authorized
to use 10000 watts, would be levied
$40, 900; WRC, with 1000 watts, and
VOL, now using 100 watts but having
a permit for 1,000-watt station,
would pay $1,000 each and WMAL. a
500-watt station, would be assessed
$500.
There has been widespread con-
victlon," Payne wrote, that the
enormous profits made by the broad
casting stations more than justify q
special tax, as they now enjoy the
use of great national resource and
it is the Government that bears the
burden of the regulation, without
which they could not exist"

tive international cooperation. on
mutual confidence, and on united
effort in the solution Of problems
Of common concern. In the con-
ventions and resolutions promoting
Intellectual cooperation and ad-
vancing mutual comprehension the
conference gave to the world an
example which is destined to have
far-reaching influence.
Gentlemen OF the Governing Board:
During the past four years we
have Travelled far, farther, believe
than many Of us four years ago
thought possible. I adj certain
interpret correctly your sentiments
and those Of your Governments and
your peoples, when I say that we
are determined to move forward
toward the goal already in sight.
On this day, dedicated to the 81
republics constituting the Pan
American Union, let us pledge our
selves to giving practical effect to
the conclusions reached at Buenos
Aires, and let us dedicate ourselves
anew to the strengthening of the
bonds that unite us in the great
American family of nations.
I express to you on behalf of the
Government and people of the
United States, a deep sense of obi
cation and gratitude for the I'M
swerving devotion which your re-
spective Governments and peoples
have given to the cause which we all
have so much at heart-the main
tenance Of peace on our continent.
In this beautiful building, dedicated
to the cause of peace, it is most
fitting that We assemble today to re-
affirm our faith in the high destiny
OF the Americans.

Text of Roosevelt Address
I'VE of Americas Have Cause for Rejoicing" He
Tells Pan-Amercdn Board,
Citing Peace.

The text of President Roosevelt,
address to the Governing Board Of
the Pan-American Union:
Gentlemen of the Governing
Board:
We OF the Americas have cause
for rejoicing today. We meet to
celebrate Pan-American day I'M
der the happiest Of auspices. All
of the nations of the Western Hem
isphere are enjoying the boon Of
peace, and with 1t the orderly pur-
suit Of the arts and sciences upon
which the happiness and security
OF nations, no less than Of indi-
viduals, depend Four years ago
it was my privilege to meet with
you in the celebration of PAN
American day, and now, as then,
I bring to you and through you
to the governments and peoples Of
your respective countries the cor
dial and fraternal greetings OF the
people Of the United States.
We have every reason to con-
graduate ourselves on the situa-
ton today as compared with that
of 1888. At that time we we're in
the throes Of a devastating eco
nomic depression. In our Inter-
national relations We were con-
fronted by the unfortunate spec
tacle of two of our sister ma.
tons engaging in bitter warfare,
and two other states on the verge
of war We were living in period
dominated by the destructive forces
Of suspicion and fear.
1t is, therefore, with a feeling Of
profound satisfaction that we may
today contemplate the great gains
in our national economies, as well
as In the international relations
between the nations of the Amer
lean continents during this four
year period.
The war which was raging has
happily been terminated, the con-
troversy which almost led to war
has also fortunately been solved.
The nations of America mutually
recognize their interdependence.
They know today that the welfare
and prosperity of each is largely
dependent upon the welfare and
prosperity of all. BY pursuing a
policy of reciprocal concessions, in
which the Government Of the
United States is happy to have
had part, the nations of Amer
lea have made important contri-
buttons to the healthy flow Of trade
and improved economic conditions.

AID TO RELIEF
OF PSORIASIS
SYMPTOMS

The itching and irritation of
psoriasis is readily relieved by
Resinol Ointment, an old formula
containing ingredients well known
to physicians for their effectiveness.
To get best results, wash off the
scales with a pure, mild soap. Res
mol Soap is gently medicated and
free from excess alkali. Use it with
warm water, then rinse and pat dry.
Spread Resinol Ointment evenly
over the surface, letting it remain
for several hours during the day and
overnight. Note how quickly it,
oily base enables the Resinol medi-
cation to soothe the angry skin.
Even when the rash begins to
fade, do not stop using Resinol too
soon. The eruptions of psoriasis
have tendency to recur. For this
reason it is advisable to continue
Resinol applications to soothe the
irritation, as long as any trace Of
it remains.
Get Resinol Ointment and Soap
at any drug store. Sample free.
