URGES AMERICAN SOLIDARITY

LII. n. . ENOOus the AiB0hLiho dHl-
bassador. was given an unprecedented
legislative honor and doomed for the
presidency of his progressive country
at the conclusion of his address at
the Capitol late yesterday afternoon.
The ambassador had made a bril-
liant and scholarly addres on Pan
Americanism and peace When he
finished Governor Brumbaugh spoke
and eulogized the diplomat. In clos
ing his address DIR. Naon said:
TN the face of this m ca
tastrophe the bearing of America
cannot be but eXpectant and recon
structive if, as 1 believe, there is still
reason to trust that the idea of hui
man solidarity is the final end of
social evolution. May God grant that,
inspired by hat idea and prompted
by our community of interests. all the
nations of America before long may
cooperate in the task. a thousand
times blessed, of restoring lasting
peace and friendship among the peo-
pies of Europe, together with the
sentiment of that solidarity as the
basis for their future action"
1T is for us" the Ambassador said,
the countries far emove from the
scene and aloof from the interests in
the midst of which the European dis
sensions a been growing until this
terrible climax, to take up the ardu-
Gus but glorious task of ~reincarnating
modern civilization. But to do this
it becomes essential to readjust the
| system of our political ties; to cor
rect, until they are made to vanish,
the cause of possible disagreements;
and, finally, to cement American
solidarity, founding it upon the only
immovable base in the relation of
countries. that is to say, upon the
maintenance of the principles of
right, of justice and of reciprocal toll
erance."
ITO America liz reserved" the AM
bassador went on to say, 1.-The honor
able task of exercising an influence
in the Transformation of the old in
ternational organization of the world
by the example OF its organization of
solidarity, which, at h same time
that it maintains in all its vigor n to
its fullest extent each and every one
of the national organisms, lives the
international life without dread,
without disturbance and without con-
f1ict."
Lieutenant Governor McClain pre-
sided over the joint session of the two
houses. He made a brief reply TO the
Ambassador, in which he hoped that
the dreams of the diplomat would
come true, and then introduced Gov
ernor Brumbaugh, who said:
LESS than two years ago in the
harbor at Antwerp l saw a large ves-
sci loading with machinery for the
Argentine Republic and 1 wondered
then, and l wonder now why it is
that a great, splendid republic ike
the Argentine should not buy its ma
chinery and conduct it's foreign trade
with it's sister republic to the North
instead of with the monarchies OF
Europe; and the fault is not theirs
but our own that this is not the case,
for when we shall have builded, as we
ought long g to have done, a mer-
chant marine commensurate with the
dignity and industry of our people,
we shall have this great Industrial re-
lation with these marvellous republics
of our sister continent to the South;
for where the flag of goes
there also, in due season, will go the
flag of brotherhood and of good will,
and of mutual governmental CO.
operation.
"In the late SOS, following our
Civil War, there came from this great
Argentine Republic as it's minister to
America, a most distinguished man.
The leading educator of the Argen-
tine was sent as minister to our re-
| public and here, in the discharge of
his important international duties.
Sarmiento gained such an insight into
the ultimate destiny of America that

bear witness to the fact hat from that
day to this the Argentine has had a
| progress and development and uplift
incomparably superior to that OF any
other republic in South America. L
understand that the distinguished
Ambassador who has addressed you
so ably this afternoon is about to re-
turn to his home land. 1t may we'll
be that history will again repeat it.

first distinctions in his HON country
as a great educator and who now is
regarded as the dean in scholarship

Capitol, may. like his great ~predeces-
sor, return to rule over and guide his

it is our wish, Mr.. Ambassador, that
it shall be so (applause), and we can
only say to you, sir, in the language
of III own people, as you go from
us to-day, este manyno, senior, for If

the South. whose capital city, the
