he himself, his Government, the people OF Honduras,
and, indeed. the people OF all Central America were
deeply interested In the Congress- and expected most

give the American people one piece of advice, which
| was that as the people Of Central America had sent
their representatives here to witness the greatness OF
the United States, so should the people of the United
States inform themselves about their Southern neigh
| bors They would find people as good hearted as
| themselves not far advanced indusuauy, put
with a country so abounding in natural wealth and
resources as to justify examination, which would
surely lead to a broadening of the relations between
| the people Of the North aud the South
