ed, but here in Washington our welcome is
the warmer and the more significant, since
1t Is here that the most eminent Of the
nations scientists gather.
Impressed by Welcome Extended.
Sometimes the simplest words are those
which come from the heart, and l. there
fore, say In closing that we are profoundly
touched at the welcome we have met with
in Washington. We have all regretted
that we have never been In this country be-
fore. but we shall all hope to come again.
II not as members of a congress such as
this, at least simple tourists and we
hope that In this beautiful city we shall
meet with as cordial greeting as that
which we now receive"
