tween two powerful nations and almost
precipitated a disastrous war.

the millions, in one laundering chorus.
demand the abolition of the old barbara
ties of blood We are, however,, only ore
of the twenty-one republics in this Pan
American Union. What is the attitude of
the remaining twenty? Where does Latin
America stand on this momentous ques-
ton? Speaking broadly, it can, 1 think,
with entire truth be sad that they have
nob1y done their part in the great mo- e.
ment They may well stand on the rec-
ord of many congress, more espec.a ally
the second congress at The Hague. AS
far back as 1902 the limitation of armed
forces was already agreed on between
Chile and the Argentine Republic, and all
through the discussion our sister repub-
lies co-operated Loyalty with the United
States in minimizing or abolishing the
cruelties. injustices and horrors OF war.
There was some hesitation or demur at
certain, points arising mainly frCm prin-
ciples of international law. These diff
culties may be surmounted by good VIII
and mutual understandings.
in the near future we look to see these
republics closely Joined in the bonds of
lasting peace, each with the others and
all with us. Today we extend the hand
OF fellowship, of fraternal affection. Their
seventy millions of people, their nine mil
lionN square miles of territory-three times
that of the United States-their twenty
one AIndred million dollars of commerce,
with xts almost incredible increase OF
half in the Lass decide, all these uner-
ringly T oint to great, an almost unex-
ampfed ,Nestiny. The great canal, divid-
ing the la nd, will unite us In close bonds.
The MARI .Sge of the Atlantic and Pacific
will be the foi'erunner of fraternal union
among these one and twenty republics.
We have no time for war; there is so
much to be done in peace. Let us tame
the desert, war against disease. disem-
bowel the mi pc. subdue the sea, even con-
quer' the air, but let our hands never be
red with our mothers blood. Foes enough
