OF THE PRESENT
conference he said; “There are
represented here 21 nations of:
the Western hemisphere who have
a common purpose; to advance i
civilization by substituting obliga- |

force. It is an effort to raise hu

together in peace and harmony ,
according to the principles of
liberty and equality. Under the
fostering influence of justice and
equality it is impossible to con

all thoughts are bent upon estab

to escape it is a trip on the May
flower which must travel down
the Potomac which provides no
change in elevation.
A retreat in the hills would al
