diplomatic representatives of Latin
American countries and several Senators,
Representatives, and others interested in
the affairs of the neighboring countries

the United States and its sister repub-
lies by practically all the diplomats
present and by Senators Smith OF Michi-
gan, Gore of Oklahoma. and Hoke Smith
OF Georgia. and Representative Flood,
chairman of the House Committee on
Foreign Affairs. Especially significant
were the addresses of Senator Gore and
Senator Hoke Smith, both of whom are
recognized to be close to the ear of
President-elect Wilson, and likely to be
figures Of importance in the incoming
probation of the value of mutual under
standing between the Latin-American re-
publics and the United States of each
others purposes and ambitions, and OF
the necessity and desirabIlity of develop
ing sincere mutual confidence and good
will between the sister republics.
