Cabinet. diplomats, army and navy off,
GERS and journalists, were present. many
of them being accompanied by their
wives.
Colonel Roosevelt's speech frequently
evoked enthusiastic applause. When he
had concluded Senior Ramz Galvao, the
orator of the university responded In an
address in English. in which he welcomed
the former President of the United States
to the university and presented him with
the diploma of membership of the insti-
tute.

place among its assets the hearty and
practical friendship OF the United States.

such a duty" asserted Colonel Roose-
welt, "is thankless. irksome and unpleas-
ant. whether it be performed by England,
France or the United States whether IN
Algiers. in Egypt or on the lsthmus OF
Panama. And therefore we all hail with
delight the advent to real power OF such
nations as Brazil. Argentina and Chill.
Good Will for South America.
Colonel Roosevelt's address termed with
expressions OF good will for South America
and admiration for the prowess OF her
leading nations in building the fouhua'
lions for their careers Brazil and other
nations of the South, he said, stood on

powers, was the principle that the west
