Copy of Letter.
In recognition of the significant
of the occasion the president wrote
Mr. Hill at follow a:
"The ancient Koman erected a
temple to Janus, a dispenser o!
peace and war, and ordered that it
patei ihould never be cloned whil:
the nation was at war. In seven
centuries they are said to have been
closed but three times. You have
erected a temple of peace whose
gates are never to be closed save in
war.
"Already it atands for more than
century of unbroken peace be
tween liritain and America and we
all join in the hope that in coming
times it may commemorate an era
cf peace much longer than the
I iod of wars for which the tern
pie of Janus stood.
Praises Its Builders.
"Our century and more of peace
vith the British empire, our rela
tions of unbroken amity with Can
sda, the fact that a boundary line
over 3.000 miles long remains un
fortifiedthese are the testimonies
that the world grows wiser and bet
ter. All mankind looks to this ex
ample and yearns to follow it; and
xve are justified to believe that a
time is at hand when it may take a
long step in that directic .
"On the occasion of dedication of
the Pacific peace, portal I wish to
convey to you personally my high
appreciation of your patriotic serv
ice in providing a symbolic shrine
to international peace and in doing
bo I would also thank the Pacific
Highway association (the builder of
the portal) for the fine co-operation
it has rendered."

Work on Rules to
Govern Aviation
Proposed Legislation Would
Create Bureau to J-.nforco
Rule of Air Travel to
Reduce Accidents.
t
Waihlngton, Sept. 3. Investiga
tion into the probable scope of
government regulation of commer
cial aviation under proposed legi.la
ton has been begun by the Com
merce department, Secretary
Hoover said today.
Government supervision of air
traffic along the lines of rail and
water regulation was recommtmled,
he said, by a committee of experts
of the War, Navy and other depart
ments. Enactment of enabling legislation,
Mr. Hoover indicated, would prob
ably result in the creation of a bu
icau of aviation charged with the
enforcement of the rules of air
travel aim arlv to the activities Ot
the bureau of navigation, in connec
tion with water carriers.
Federal control of civilian air-
nlane Deration would greatly re
duce the hazards of flying, accord
ing to the Manufacturers Aircrait
association.
Despite the lack of flying regula
tions the association asserted there
had only been 40 serious accidents
during the first six months of the
year among the lou commercial
aircraft which flew a total of 3,250,
000 miles between January 1 and
June 30, 1921. In these accidents 14
persons were killed ana nuy-iwo
injured.

and finally passed the famous bath
ing suit bill, prohibiting the display

lution has now been placed before

hibiting the exhibition of racy
shows in any public place and provid

Ameriean Note on
Mandate Reaches
Council of League
Furnishes Satisfactory Basis
For Continuation of Nego
tiations Makes Several
. Change Suggestions
Geneva. Sent. 3 (By The Asso
ciated Press.) The United States
reply to the associated powers on the
subject of mandates was up for con
sideration by tht council of the
league of nations at its selon here
this morning. The council found
that the reply furnishes a satisfactory
basis for continuation of negotia
tions, notwithstanding that the com
munication from the United States
withholds permission for the man
date question to be settled by the
forthcoming meeting of the assembly
of the Icaeue.
The American note makes numer
ous suggestions for changes in terms,
which appear to be acceptable to the
powers and the league but adds an
interpretation of the relations of the
United States to mandates which in
volves some difficulties. Altogether,
however, a favorable impression was
created in league circles by the
American note.
The council decided that there was
nothing further for it to do in the
matter since negotiations are going
on directly between the various
mandatories and Washington.
