of Importance relating to the extension
Of trade the Increase OF communication,
the smoothing away OF barriers TO free
ter knowledge and good understanding
the different counties represent
ed. The meetings Of the conference wer
reached with substantial unanmity. 1t
Is interesting to observe that In the sue
cessive conferences which have been
held the representatives of the different
American nations have been learning TO
work together enecureiyt Tor, while the
hrst conference in Washington In 1889.
and the second conference In Mexico in
1902, occupied many months, with much
time wasted In an unregulated and fruit
less discussion the third conference at
Rio exhibited much Of the facility in the
practical dispatch OF business which
the permanent deliberative
bodies. and completed its labors within
The period Of six weeks originally allot-
Ted for its sessions
Quite apart from the specific value OF
the conclusions reached by the confer
ence, the example Of the representatives
Df all the American nations engaging in
and kindly consideration and
discussion OF subjects OF common inter-
est Is itself Of great and substantial
value Tor the promotion OF reasonable
and cousiderate treatment OF all interna-
Iional questions The thanks OF this
country are due to the government OF
Brazil and to the people OF Rio de Ja-
metro for the generous hospitality with
which our delegates In common with
lie others, we're received, entertained, and
facilitated in their work.
Incidentally TO the meeting OF the con-
ference the secretary Of state visited the
rity Of Rio de Janelro and was cordially
received by the conference, OF which he
was made an honorary president. The
aqnouncement Of his intention 70. make
|eous and urgent Invitations from near
n an the countries OF South America to
visit them as the guest Of their govern-
ments 1t was deemed that BY the ac-
ceptance Of these invitations we mlgnl
4 appropriately express the real respect
ard friendship IN which we hold our sis
ier republics Of the southern continent,
and the secretary accordingly, visited
Brazil Uruguay, Argentina Chill Peru,
Panama and Colombia. He refrained

Ecuador only because the distance TO

with the time at his dis

0f peace and friendship ana OF strong
desire for good understanding and mu-
fual helpfulness: and he was everywhere 4
