Buffalo, Feb 90 Nabuco, a1nbas-
ssador from Brazil, was a guest of the
liberal club here tonight. Nabuco was
formerly Brazilian minister to England
and was president Of the third interna-
tional conference at Rio } aiieiro. FAX

tween North and South America Ma

ern hemispheres and proposed even
closer relations between the two Ameri-

Ambassador Nabuco spoke as fol-

Gentlemen: You may be sure I fully
realize what distinction it is for me
to be in the place where ! find myself
tonight, but have read the names OF
those who have addressed you since
your foundation and | can not help
fearing the ordeal Of having my name
added to that list. I could not thank
| you enough for this great opportunity;
! it shows clearly enough your interest
, in the work of bringing together the
American republics. That looks to me
as hopeful sign. take it as an
nouncing that the only insurmountable
obstacle to that work; which would
be Indifference on the part Of this
country, begins to give place to diff
ferent frame of mind. National indif-
ference towards anything that resem-
bles a foreign policy can be easily un-
derstood on your part; Interstate poll
tics seems here as sufficient as inter-
state trade; you are a world by your
| selves, but even the universe is inter-
dependent, and now that, through re-
/ peated reflex movements, the political
interdependence of our globe is more
keenly felt everywhere, in England as
in Japan, in Germany or France as
much as in China or Persia, it is nat
ural also that this nation show signs
of awaking to the consequences of her
/ position in the American system. ]
am glad your great city is one of the
! first to acknowledge the Importance of
the new movement and that you called
upon me to speak on the lessons and
prophecies of the third Panamerican
/ conference. 5.s III 5s

citizen, Mr.. Buchanan, the head of the

silently worked in the recess of the
committees, could tell you, I feel sure
that the depths were as still as til,
surface. To that quiet nothing ha,
contributed more than the attitude o
the secretary Of state, as the head o
