CHIC, independent settlement by the governments of Bolivia and Peru of a boundary difference between them which for some weeks threatened to cause war and even to entrain embit- terments affecting other republics less directly concerned. From various quar- ters, directly or indirectly concerned, the intermediation of the United States was sought to assist in solution of the controversy. Desiring at all times to abstain from any undue mingling in the affairs of sister republics and hay ing faith in the ability of the govern ments of Peru and Bolivia themselves to settle their differences in a manner satisfactory to themselves, which, viewed with magnanimity, would as suage all embitterment, this government steadily abstaining from being drawn into the controversy and was much grat- flied to find it's confidence justified by events.
 Pan-American Congress
 On the ninth of July next there will open at BuenOs Ayres the fourth Pan American conference. This conference will have a special meaning in the hearts of all Americans because around it's date are clustered the anniversaries of the independence of so many of the American republics. It is not neces- sary for me to remind the congress of the political, social and commercial i'm portance of those gatherings. You are asked so make liberal appropriation for our participation. If this be grant ed, my purpose to appoint distinguish ed and representative delegation quail flied fttingly to represent this country and to deal with the problems of inter national interest which will there be discussed.
 The Argentine republic will also hold from May to November, 1910, at Beu- nos Ayres, great international agrl- cultural exhibition in which the United States has been invited to participate.
 Considering the rapid growth of the trade of the United States with the Argentine Republic and the cordial re- lations existing between the two na
 tions, together with the fact that 1t pro vides an opportunity to show deferenee to a sister republic an the occasion of | the celebration of its national indepen dence, the proper departments of thls government are taking steps to apprlsc | the interests concerned of the oppor tunity afforded by this exhibition, 1T
 which appropriate participation by this
 country is so desirable. The designa
 tion of an official representative is alsc
 receiving consideration.
 Our Foreign Trade
 Today. more than ever before, Ameri | can capital is seeking investment II | foreign countries and American pro
 ducts are more and more generally seek ing foreign markets. As a consequence in all countries there are American cit izens and American interests to be pro tected, on occasion, by their govern
 ment. These movements of men, O
 capital and of commodities bring peo
 ples and governments closer togethe
 and so form bonus of peace and mutua
 dependency, as they must also natural lv sometimes make passing points O friction. The resultant situation inevl tably imposes upon this lovernmen vastly increased responsibilities. Thl administration, through the departmen
 of state and the foreign service, IS lend ing all proper support to legitimat and beneficial American enterprises Il foreign countries, the degree of sue
 support being measured by the nationa
 advantages to be expected. A cltize
 himself cannot, by contract or other
 wise diyest himself of the right, no can this government escape the obl
 cations of his protection in his perst nal and property rights when these ar
 upiustly infringed in foreign country m avoid ceaseless vexations, 1t IS pro nosed that in considering whether Amel [ iean enterprise should be encouraged c snnported in a particular country, tn government should give full weight nc } only to the national, as opposed to tn
