meeting It is not, however, my intention to discuss
at this time the commercial importance of the con-
ference but rather TO direct attention to some OF
the preliminary arrangements that ought TO be care
fully studied and perfected in order 10 make the
conference a success.
Here IS one important point which appears thus
far to have been entirely overlooked. In what IAN
gago Will the discussion and debates OF the Congress
be carried onl In Encllshl Then but a small
portion of the delegates from spanish American
neighbors will understand word that IS said. The
South American of the class which will attend at Wash

him into general commercial contact with English
