TIE PAg-AMERIcAN CONGRESS.

The Pan-American Congress which be
gins to-day in the stately capital Of
Argentina commands first attention
perhaps on historic and sentimental
grounds II is held in conjunction and
sympathy with and forms 8 substan-
tisal part of the celebration of the
tooth anniversary of Argentine and, in
deed. of general South American indie
pendence Those of us who recall our
own celebration of our wear of hun
dred years in $40 can appreciate what
this year means to South American
states and the sentiments which to-day
prevail in Buenos AyreS Nor is the eX-
ultation merely over the event OF Il cen
tury back. but equally over the achieve
ments of that century: whereof an index
is found in the fact that the Argentine
capital, i'll which this present gathering
is held, is a larger and more splendid
city than that in which our centenary
was commemorated
1t is deserving of grateful observation,
also. that the dominant note of the con-
gress is distinctly irenic. Peace prevails
day. save for a domestic and local dis
turbance in one of the least Of them. and
possible causes of war have been elimin-
ated to greater degree. probably. than IN
any other continent. For the last score
of years the South American countries
have been notably given to the cu1tiva-
tioR of peace, and those who to-day look
to the worlds horizon for rising war
clouds look TO another quarter than thgt
We believe that this peaceful disposition
is largely to be credited to the influence
of the various Pan-American congresses,
and it may be reasonably hoped that this
years gathering will materially promote
and confirm the work of its predecessors
The specific attitude and standing Of
the United States in the congress are
cause for sincere satisfaction. This coun-
try has never sought to dominate such
conventions. but has been content to
enter them as an equal among equals,
cultivating confidence rather than appre-
hensiOn and friendship rather than fear.
In recent years it has TO Il noteworthy
degree overcome the tendency to aloOf-
ness which racial contrasts and tradl-
tions were once supposed TO cause, and
has attained a welcome degree of politi-
cal and social intimacy with its South
ern neighbors. The work thus finely
done by Secretary Root has been success
fully maintained by Secretary Knox. de-
spite some unfounded if not malicious
carping. and this country to-day enters
the international council at Buenos
Ayres as a friend among friends, ready
and able TO engage in deliberations and
enactments for the common good.

request of the President. and without
pretending 10 speak for Mr.. Loeb we
venture 10 say that he arrived in BeF-
erIy armed with a firm determination TO
put aside any suggestion that he aspire

1t is. of course, possible that the Col
Iecfor of the Port has yielded to the genial
encouragement of President Taft, and 1t
j. certain that were he to make the race
he would have the cordial support OF his
close friend and former principal. Coionel
Roosevelt. That the ex-President has
ever urged Mr. Loeb TO seek such pre-
ferment we gravely doubt Ia view OF

demonstrated an executive ability and a

BUENOS AYRES CONFERENCE
John Barrett Talks of Meeting
Beginning To- day.

Washington. July u.-Whether the Inter
national Union of American Republics will
continue TO exist or be regarded as having
served it's purpose will be largely deter
mined by the fourth International Confer
ence of American Republics. which meets
tomorrow in Buenos Ayres, Argentina. ac-
cording to the opinion OF John Barrett.
director of the Bureau OF American Re
publics
IF the conference adopts conventions
and resolutions working for the actual good
Of each and all of the American nations,
said Mr. Barrett to-day, and these are
actually ratified by the different govern
ments. the conference will demonstrate to
the world its value as we'll as the solidarity
of Pan-American purposes and interests
If il fails Pan-Amertcans will suffer a seri-
Gus setback.
Mr.. Barrett asserted that the Buenos
Ayres conference is the most important
gathering bearing upon the commercial and
political relations of the United States with
the twenty South American countries and
that ii lis second only in world importance
TO the great Peace Congress at The Hague.
Mr. Barrett stated further that there was
no ground for a recent report that comoi-
nation at the conference would he formed
against the United States. or that there
would he any attack upon Its Eaun-Amerl-
can policies
The attitude of the State Department. =
he said g in recognizing the individual and
cooperative Importance of the various
Latin American republics Is more likely TO
excite favorable commendation than IN
favorable criticism.
Buenos Ayres. July 1.-THE fourth Pan
American conference will convene here to-
morrow at o'clock in the afternoon
At the opening session DR.. Y de la Plaza.

dress of welcome, and Henry White, former

day and mapped out a programme. out
lining the various questions which will
come up for discussion. BY the unani-
nous vote of the delegations Antonio Ber-
Elejo president OF the Supreme Court of
Argentina. has been elected president of
the conference, while Epifanio Po-tela, the
