withhold for q moment the word OF
final adjournment of the International
american conference, in order that I
may assure you of the profound satisfao-
ton with which the government of the
United States regards the results that
have been accomplished by the
International conference. The i'm
pOrtanCe of the subjects which have
claimed your attention and the compre-
hensiye intelligence and watchful pa
triotism which you have brought to them
in discussion, must challenge the conf
deuce ana admiration of the govern
ments and the people whom you repre-
Sent, while that larger patriotism which
constitutes the fraternity of nations has
received from you an impulse s1ch as
the world has not before seen. The ex-
tent and value of the results that have

stand too near it. Time will define and
heighten the estimate of your

our present fnith. The final results will
be vindicatiOn and your triumph. In
this closing hour the conference has but
one deed 10 celebrate. We hold up this
new ''magua charter which abolishes
war and substitutes arbitration between
the American republics as the first and
great fruit of the international Ameri-
can conferences. The noblest of Amerl-
cans, the aged poet and philanthropist
Whittier, is the first to send his salutatiou
and his benediction, declaring: "If in
the spirit OF peace the American confer
enre agrees upon q rule of arbitration
which shall make an end of the war on
this hemisphere, it will prove one of the
most important events in the history of
the world. -
