! WASHINGTON, Nov. IL, 1925.
The Government of Central America, which
nave The honor to represent, as early the year
1871, was sensible of tho Importance, TO the in :
dependent nations of this continent, Of Gcneral
Congress of their Representatives, at some central
point, which might consider upon, and adopt, The
best plan for defending the States of the New
World from foreign aggression, and, bySereates
OF alliance, commerce, and friendship, raise sthetn
| 10 that elevation of wealth and power, which,
from their resources, they may attain. II also
acknowledged that, as Europe had formed Con-
tneHfdf System, and held Congress whenever
questions affecting its interests be discuss
ed, America should form system for itself, and
assemble by It's representatives, in Cories, whencv-
er circumstances of necessity and great importance
should demand it,
Entertaining these views, the Government of
Central America voluntarily expressed it's willing
ness to appoint its deputies for such an object.
Sensible OF its importance, which has also been
felt by the Governments of South America. il has
resolved 10 send Plenipotentaries to General
Congress, to be formed for the purposes of pre-
serving the territorial integrity, and firmly e-tab-
fishing the absolute independence Of each of the
American Republics. On the 10Th of March last.
The Government of Central America formed a Con-
vention with that OF Colombia, providing for this
object; and /, as its Representative, have been in
structed TO express to the Government of the u
rnenl, that IT should send Representative to the
General Congress.
To fulfil the wishes of my Government, and
convinced, at the same time, of the importance
and responsibility which would attach to the Gene
raj Congress of the American Republics from the
presence of Envoys from the United States of
America, l now address this high Governmen,
upon tins subject in the name of Central America
| am anxious, therefore, TO know if this Repubc
which has ever shown itself the generous friend OF
the new American States, s disposed TO send its
Eovoys to the General Congress, the object OF
which is, to preserve and confirm the absolute in
dependence of these Republics. and to promote the
general good; and tohich ,oW not require that
me representatives Of the United States should,
IN the least, compromit their present neutrality,
harmony, and good Intelligence, soih Other
nations. This, my Government has deemed il
necessary to state distinctly, in making the pre-
sent invitation. ]
be pleased, sir, to accept expressions OF the high
consideration with which am,
Respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
ANTONIO JOSE CANAZ.
