THE PACIFIC
ENSURING PEACE AMERICAN PROPOSAL CONFERENCE OF NATIONS MUTUAL WELFARE (United Press Association) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 28. (Received Sept. 29, at 7.30 p.m.) On his return to America, Mr C V. Whitney, chairman of directors of Pan-x\merican Airways, suggested that the United States should call a conference of the Pacific nations to discuss means of preserving peace "' I predict that out of such a conference would come a peace lasting many years." he said, "because if Japan's intentions are peaceful she will have a chance to prove it. If not, the other nations will have a chance to get together for their mutual welfare.
"' There is no question that it would be a great loss to us if we awoke one morning to find the great resources of Australia, the Dutch East Indies and the Philippines diverted elsewhere, and also perhaps to find other people happily free like ourselves free no longer. If these things are not worth the utmost effort to preserve now, when they still can be preserved, then we may soon have to fight for them when the odds are turned very much against us."
