Director Fox Of the bureau officially informed
Assistant Secretary Perce Of the boards action.
Corresponding with the order of the President
closing all the government departments on the
day of Secretary Hays funeral Director Fox
has ordered that the International Bureau Of
American Republics be closed that day.
Speaking of Secretary Hay. and particularly OF
the way in which the Secretary brought about
friendly relations between Chill and Peru, Mr..
Fox said. after the meeting
Perhaps no man understood the conditions in
Latin America as did the late Secretary. II
will be hard TO replace him. He always spoke
the truth. In the preliminary work Of the sec
ond International conference Of American re-
( publics in Mexico IN 19D1-'O2. he made il very
clear that the United States would not interfere
in the politics OF the republics south OF this
country. There was. il viii be remembered an
effort at that time 10 secure the attendance of
Chilli at the international conference. Chill was
fearful. that because OF her difference with
Peru the conference backed by the great power
OF the United States might force upon her arbi-
/ tration Of those differences. II the assur-
ance OF Secretary Hay 70 the contrary and
ChnPs confidence in his frank and truthful
Z Diplomacy which caused that nation 10 come to
the conference in Mexico and thus enable the
International Union OF American Republics
truthfully declare the conference international.
Nothing occurred in that conference 10 disturb
the friendly relations of the American republics,
dainty satisfied with what had been accom-
pltshed. Nothing occurred to mar the pleasant
relations and for this the American republics
and the world have to thank John Hay.
