deep appreciation OF these proofs OF
kindness.
Friendship Most Significant.
These manifestations Of earnest friend
ship toward Latin America which we
have received during recent years IN the
United States are most significant and
OF the greatest importance II is nor
only the government OF the United States
that shows, as Well as our own Latin
American governments, the desire OF
furthering and making more cordial the
relations among our respective countries.
Financial and commercial associations
study the conditions OF our republics with
the object OF investing therein more
capital 10 the advantage OF all.
In universities and museums our min
eral riches. as we'll as our fauna and
fora, are also studied. All this work OF
statesmen, business men, and scholars
has brought closer together the Latin
American countries and this great re-
publc-but. in another sense. we are still
far apart Prejudices exist which divide
US, and Will continue 20 do so for some
time In order TO dspel these pTejudices
the good work done in the United States
by the good friends of Latin America
Is most important. because through this
work the true conditions OF the peoples OF
our republics are clearly shown, as Well
as those qualities that make them worthy
OF respect and consideration.
zone OF those noble friends OF Latin
America is Rev. Father Russell for
whose happiness I invite you al 10 raise

OF the work OF all those who strive for
the establishment Of firm peace through
out the world and for the creation Of
bonds OF affection among all our nations
based upon a sincere esteem.
