Italian and Austrian Patrols Engage in Clashes on Line Between Countries HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH LXXXIV— No. 120 - PRESIDENT WILSON HOPES mens CI SHOW WAV TO PEACE In Opening Pan-American Finan cial Conference He Tells of Existing Relations WANTS MORE MERCHANT SHIPS Says Government Must Provide Vessels If Private Capital Is Not Available By Associated Press Washington, May 24.—President Wilson speaking at the opening of the Pan-American Financial Conference here to-day expressed the hope that the Americans might show the world the path to peace. The President was loudly applauded by the delegates as he entered the hall of the Americas in the Pan-American Union Buildinn where the meetings are being held. On the platform were members of the cabinet while the audience included many high government officials in ad dition to the representatives of South and Central American countries. President Wilson spoke as follows: "There can be no sort of union or interest If there is a purpose of ex ploitation on the part of any person connected with a great conference of this sort. We are not, therefore, try ing to make use of each other, but we are trying to be of use to one an other. "It is very surprising to me, it is even a source of mortification that a conference like this should have been so long delayed, that it should never have occurred before, that it should have required a crisis of the world to show the Americas how truly they were neighbors to one another. If there is any one happy circumstance, gentlemen, arising out of the present I distressing circumstances of the world It is that it has revealed us to one another; it has shown us what it means to be neighbors. And 1 cannot help harboring the hope, the very high hope, that by this commerce of minds and one another as well as com merce In gods, we may show the world in part the path to peace. Show Way to Peace "It would be a very great thing if the Americas could show the way to i permanent peace. The way to peace us. at any rate, is manifest. It is the kind of rivalry which does not involve aggressions. It is the know ledge that men can be of the greatest service to one another and nations of the greatest service to another when the jealousy between them is merely a jealousy of excellence, and when the basis of their intercourse is friendship. There is only one way in which we wish to take advantage of you and that is by making better goods, if we can, than you do them, and so spur ring you on, if we might, by so hand some a jealousy as that to excel us. "I am so keenly aware that the basis of personal friendship in this competition in excellence that I am perfectly certain that this is the only basis for the friendship of nations, this handsome rivalry, this rivalry in which there is no dislike, this rivalry in which there is nothing but the hope or a common elevation in great enter prises which we can undertake in common. Favors More Ships "There is one thing that stands in our way among others—for you are more conversant with the circum stances than I am; the thing 1 have chiefly in mind, is the physical lack of means of communication, the lack of vehicles, the lack of ships, the lack of established routes of trade—the lack of those things which are neces sary if we are to have true commercial and intimate commercial relations with one another; and I am perfectly clear In my judgment that if private capital cannot soon enter upon the adventure of establishing these physi cal means of communication, the gov ernment must undertake to do so. 5 Killed When Boiler on Dredge Explodes By Associated Press Bordentown, N.
