to assist in every possible way their po-

while it is true that there is no senti-
ment in trade, it is equally certain that
countries often find their material interests
involved in closer, If not identical rela-
tons with friendly nation, always ready
to extend a helping hand and having
ideas of progress and developmentin in close
sympathy with their own. While every
one Of the Latin American republics has
its own individuality distinctly marked
and is an independent power, proud OF
its dignity and honorable traditions. there
can be no question that each looks to
the United States as a source of inspira-
ton and encouragement inits own efforts
to advance along the line OF modern prog
Tess.
The United States undoubtedly occupies
tie fr0ns rank in material development
and in the application of inventions TO the
manifold uses of scientific industry, but
the Latin American Republics have no
reason 10 fear comparison in what they
have already accomplished, il we but
consider for an instant the many obstacles
created by the heritage left them OF the
long abuses OF European control. Their
emancipation from Spanish dominion was
in itself an immense achievement, as
creditable TO them as our own accession
OF independence from Great Britain, and
within less than three-quarters of CEN

toward which we had been tending under
