ence. is one of the big business men
of the middle west who believes tina
the calling of the conference was a
master stroke.
Speaking of his impressions of the
conference and his Judgment OF the
results obtained, MIR. Killer said last
night:
The calling of the pan-American
financial congress is proof positive of
the genius Of the secretary of the
Treasury, W. q. McAdoo.
bringing into conference so many
men representing the best interests OF
the people of the American continents
at time when Europe appears to have
gone mad. was a master stroke and will
surely lead to lasting benefit for all
of us.
The high character and standing OF
the delegates from the south 10 evident
and to man from farming com
muntty in the middle west. the refine
ment of dress and manner on the part
OF the Latin American delegates is i'm
pressive. In my part OF the United
states We see very few silk hats. ana
judge men from the propositions they
offer. rather than their manners and
clothes. Here. however. one has but
to look at the gentlemen from the
south to know that they are the real
leaders in their various countries.
DR.. Triana's Great Address.
In my judgment the address OF Or.
Santiago Perez Triana of Colombia was
the greatest single feature OF the con
ference. with the exception of that
other great speech by President Wood b.
row Wilson. This address will go q
long way toward securing the ends and
aims of the conference.
Il wish II could be made possible to
exchange professors from our univer-
stiles TOR those from Latin American
universities for series OF lectures
similar to those which we have had Ia
exchange with European and japanese
universities We have much to learn
from Latin America.
John Barretts work as the head oil
the Pan American Union is much ap-
preciated by the delegates from all
countries, and the Importance OF this
conference shows the rare judgment
years ago. IL ever man lived to see
his visions and dreams come to pass
that man is John Barrett.
Lauds His Associates.
Il have had the honor to serve on
the committee for Costa Rica. of which
Senior Mariana Guardia is chairman
DR.. Guardia is the minister of finance
in Costa Rica. We also are fortunate
in having j. NJ. Keith. an American cit
izen who has lived In Costa Rica for
thirty years and who is thorough!
conyersant with conditions there. as
we'll as in the other republics. OF Cen
trail and South America. Two New
York bankers. z. a. de Lima ana
Lewis E. Pierson. did the heavy work
for the United States delegates SERVING
tlemen have had experience in inter
national banking ana are practical
business men who know how to go
ahead and get things done.
The Costa Rica committee has
worked to render useful report, as
feel sure every other committee has
also so endeavored. I go back to IL
linois feeling that the pan American
conference will stand in history as the
commencement exercises stand in a
university. We have found our inter-
ests to be mutual with those OF Latin
America, and this surely marks the be-
ginning Of great things"
