CITY or MEXICO, Nov. l5.-The Mexi-
can delegation banqueted the delegates
TO the Pan-American Congress at Chapul-
tepec last night Seilor Alfredo Chavero,
speaking in behalf of the Mexican dele
CATION, referred TO the fact that this was
the first time in the history OF America
that all the republics represented were in
a conference. He said
"You have come on the meritorious mis-
sion of framing international laws for all
the Americas on the threefold basis OF
justice, progress and liberty. Undoubtedly
you have come with a desire OF drawing
closer the bonds of American fraternity,
harmonizlng reciprocal interests and at
tanning through union prosperity and
strength Good will is natural on the part
of the nations of Central and South America
on account of similarity of origin and
identity of speech, but all Of us have the
same feelings. the same aspirations and
the same way OF thinking To the United
States we are bound by similarity Of in
stitutions and community Of interests,
hut more intimately still by historical
bond no man may loosen
He referred them TO the great scheme
of Napoleon H. at the time Of the Civil
War 10 invade Mexico and establish an
empire here and support the secessionist
States in order TO disrupt the republican
institutions.
But" he went on, Mexico resisted
heroically for over four years and the
United States suppressed rebellion and
assured its national unity. Then II paid
Napoleon in his own coin by insisting on
the withdrawal Of his army. Juarez had
saved his fatherland and had also by his
Resistance contributed to the salvation
Of the American people and ! may say
of the entire continent. Therefore he Is
saluted as one who deserves well OF the
Americas. The tie thus formed IL 10
strong that ever since the two sister re-
pubics have been and ever will remain
in united pursuit Of justice, progress and
liberty.
But we must not forget that at the last
moment difficulties arose which might
have caused the failure of 80 noble an un-
dertaking a. this gathering Of representa-
tives of all American republics had not
new factor arisen 10 smooth away these
obstacles. That factor was the prestige
and example OF our President. Porfirio
Da7. Gen. Diaz has shown how a nation
weakened, impoverished and torn by civil
strife, may by peace become strong. He
has extended his doctrine of peace to the
relations of Mexico and has
displayed TO you his doctrine of peace by
inviting you TO make 1t your continental
policy. From your conference the Diaz
doctrine will arise. embod wing the con-
science OF America. We already had the
Monroe Doctrine as a safeguard of the New
World. The Diaz doctrine constitutes its
and the Diaz doctrine may be
expressed in this apothegm: The interna-
tional law of America Is founded on peace,
which in its turn depends on respect for the
sovereignty, independence and territorial
integrity Of each and all republics of Amer
ica The new world holds out it, hand To
h
a common creed of civilization America
says peace 10 all nations.
MAY your work bear such fruit that his |
tory will inscrilf on its page OF bronze. !
America said let there be peace and there |
was peace.
Mr Buchanan responded on behalf OF |
the United States delegates, saying that |
