Lima, Peru, Dec. 9-(UP)-The eighth Pan-American conference opens today in an atmosphere of conciliation and friendliness which promises to further President Roose- velt's hopes for continental solidar- ity and united defense against out side aggression.
 The formal opening was set for 6 p. m., with 136 delegates of the 21 American republics attending The steering committee of chief dele gates meets tomorrow morning to shape the conference program, and Secretary of State Cordell Hull, for the United States and other dele gates are to make keynote speeches at the first plenary meeting tomor- row afternoon.
 It seemed increasingly likely that the conference would approve some sort of declaration informing the world that the American republics would resist as one any outside ag- gression. Many delegates believed that some European nations feel the effect of the conference as regards propaganda and political activities in the western hemisphere.
 Friendly Start
 It was indicated that under the careful guidance of Hull and For eign Minister Jose Maria Cantilo of Argentina the conference would get away to friendly start on one of it's most important projects-the correlation and coordination of all existing American peace treaties into single treaty or document, and the perfection of an agreement for consultation among the republic on problems of mutual concern.
 A desire already expressed by va rious delegates for coordination and simplification of existing treaties and peace securing machinery caused prediction that early progress was certain.
 Delegates said that the many sepa- rate treaties and agreements con- cluded in the last 20 years dupli- cated or overlapped each other with the result that the machinery for maintaining peace among the re- publics was cumbersome.
 Two Dominant Figures
 As soon as Secretary of State Hull and Argentine Foreign Minister Cantilo-the two dominant figures of the conference-began discussion of the program, Cantilo volunteered the suggestion that consultative machin- cry should be strengthened at this conference.
 This support by Argentina, and the expressions of other delegates, led to the hope that what United States delegates regard as one of the most important problems of the con-

Latins Are Warned

London, Dec. 9-(UP)-The closely controlled newspapers of the totali- tarian nations warned the Latin American republics today to beware of United States machinations at the Pan-American conference at Lima.
 At the same time they intimated that the alleged machinations were too transparent to deceive anybody and predicted that all United States "plots" would end in failure.
 In Nationalist Spain, newspapers generally forecast that suggestions of President Roosevelt for contin- ental solidarity would not be ac- cepted.
 Roosevelt offers to protect with air squadrons those American na- tions which are victims of aggres- sion," said the Voz de Espana of Burgos. He also proposes a sort of league of nations in which the colussus of centrete (the United Statesl would have the leading voice."
 German Paper Says Beware
 The Berlinger Tageblatt, among Nazi newspapers, emphasized a warning to Latin American states to beware of the United States.
 Mot a single Latin American statesman can fail to understand that SO far as United States desires at Lima go, it will not be 8 matter of non-entangling resolutions but of disguised re-intrOduction of the old United States tutelage over the southern continent" 1t said.

ference could be settled at the out set.
 Then it would be possible to take up, after one real accomplishment, the proposals for continental solidar- ity. There seemed a feeling among United States delegates that solu- ton of the peace treaty and peace machinery problem would serve to allay any suspicion that the United States, in its desire for continental solidarity, was counting war with a European or Asiatic power into which Latin American republics might be drawn.
 Stop Suspicious
 Hence for the present United States delegates talked little of con- tinental solidarity, in order to pre- vent the growth ol any suspicious.
 Hull, in speeches, emphasized that the American republics were deter mined to maintain peace in this hemisphere and that any menace to peace was a matter of concern to all. However, members of the United States delegation generally were saying quietly that the United States would be content if the conference resulted in some general agreement or understanding among the repub- lies, leading later, perhaps, to bi- lateral agreements for actual strengthening of defense works against possible foreign aggression.
 Three Major Fields
 Hull in a radio speech last night said that there were three major fields in which the conference might hope to advance work already be- gun.
 "The first has to do with the effort to secure peace throughout the world, and as corollary the pres ervation of our American institu- tions and our system of inter relations based on peaceful settle ment of international disputes, said Hull.
 We are determined that peace shall be maintained on the Ameri- can continent and we are in agree ment that any menace to that peace | 10 Q 4AAoGJC4 OA OO4AOO4A4 4OA bAo eAAAs We shall seek to implement and to make more effective measures al- ready adopted to that end.
 'The second great field in which we may take action is that of eco homie cooperation for the welfare of all American peoples. My con- viction grows ever stronger that economic disarmament is one of the essentials for political stability and for the return of international rela- tionshipS based on respect for law an dorder and faithful observance of obligations.
 "The strengthening of internation- al law is the third vital concern for us all. The contribution the Ameri- can republics may be able to make toward strengthening international law and toward revitalizing it as an effective force in international rela- tions will be constructive factor in the world situation"

ORIGIN OF THE FIRST
THANKSGIVING

The origin of the American
Thanksgiving day goes back for its
inspiration to Jewish history. The
Bible is full of conferences and de-
scriptions of thanksgiving days and
seasons for thanksgiving.
The Jewish Thanksgiving days
were religious festivals; they were
holy days, not mere holidays.
This practice of giving public
thanks was accepted by the Chris
tians, and handed down from gener-
alton to generation The philosophy
and practice were established In
Holland where the Pilgrims sojourn-
ed for a time before coming to the
new world. With the experiences of
those Pilgrims that first winter Of
1920, it's attending hardships, fol-
lowed in the summer and autumn OF
1921 with the abundance of crops
and the blessing Of preservation,
Governor William Bradford recon-
mended a day or season of festival
and thanksgiving to God. Eventual
ly, Thanksgiving day became an es-
tablished institution by the execu-
tive authority of the colonies. The
earliest known formal proclamation
was issued by the council of Charles
town, Mass, on June 20, 1876, ap-
pointing June 20 as day for public
thanksgiving.
