elated Press).—Six hundred families
■will leave southern France to make
their homes in southern California

ing to an announcement made here by
steamship agents.
The arrival of these families will
mark the beginning, it is said of im
migration to California of many large
groups of Southern Europeans for
whose coming here great preparation
was made by federal and state offi
cials just before the beginning of the
world war, which stopped all plans
along that line.
Among the first six hundred fam
ilies to come to this section where
they will take up land—homesteading,
in some cases, as declaration to be
come citizens is all that is necessary
for the preliminary fllirtg—will be
French, Belgians and even Swiss. The
majority will be agriculturists.
There will be effort to colonize the
newcomers, who will make their
homes in those sections of Southern
California where they find locations to
their liking.
Many persons in the French colony
of Los Angeles are interested in the
movement to bring the Southern Eur&
peans here.

WANT TO BUILD
UP TRADE IN
SO. AMERICA
WASHINGTON, May 29 (by Asso
ciated Press).—That peace will be
largely strengthened on the western
hemisphere by an extensive inter
change of thought among the peoples
of the various countries was the bur
den of a statement by Acting Secre
tary of State Frank .L. Polk today in
urging that the newspapers of the
United States devote more attention
to the news of the Latin American
countries. Mr. Polk said he hoped the
American newspapers would take this
means of educating the people of the
United States to better understand
and appreciation the importance and
greatness of our neighbors of South
and Central America and pointed out
that by lending their aid to the furth
erance of this education the news
papers would be fulfilling a public
duty to the government.
“The more we know of the other
countries of North and South Amer
ica,” said Mr. Polk today, “the less
likelihood there is of misundrestand
ings. The nations of the world are
becoming more and more interdepend
ent daily with the increased efficiency
of transportation and communication
facilities. Exchange of news results
inevitably in better relations and a
fuller comprehension of the efforts
that are being made by the different
countries to solve the problems of
civilization. Improved commercial re
lations are accompanied by better cul
tural relations.
“One result of the European war
has been to show the United States
how completely our interests lie in
this hemisphere. With peace restored
our interest in European affairs will
be more theoretical than real but we
have and must have closer relations
with our nieghbors in Central and
South America. The people of Latin
America are intensely interested in
the United States. The newspapers
of Central and South America print a
great deal of news about this country.
It would be of incalculable benefit if
the newspapers of the United States
would pay more atentlon to news re
garding Latin America and in a very
short time these newspapers could
educate the public to seek further
information and more news about our
neighbors to the south.”
