The interest created by the Pan-Ameri-
can Financial Conference now in session
here will not wane following adjourn
ment. but will grow with an astonishing
apidity. in the opinion Of former Repre-
sentative J. Van Nechten Olcott. of New
York. president of the Pan-American
States Association.
II do not share the fears of some that
the delegates will cease their endeavors
before there has been practical con-
firmation of the undertakings initiated in
the form of resolutions and recommen-
dations at the conference" said Mr.. o.
colt last night at the Shoreham.
such has been the case with respect
to many of the panAmerican confer
ences of the past. but / am sure it will
not be true of this one. Now is the ac-
copied time. Now is the psychological
moment. Now is the time to strike for
the extension of our commercial and
financial relations with South America.
War Presents Opportunities.
IF this conference is greater than any
of the pan-American gatherings of the
past, 1t is solely because of the OppOr-
tunities presented by the European ca
tastrophe We have an unparalleled
chance to establish closer relations with
our sister republics, and / am confident
VIC shdh H'dh' inc HlOSt OF the OppOr-
tunity.
1T must be remembered that the pam
American spirit is growing. and that
each successive conference is in sense
more successful than its predecessor be-
cause of the fact that the feeling OF
friendly cooperation is advancing in a
sort of seometrical progression. To ap-
ply mathema tics to the situation I would
say that in four years the spirit of pan
Americanism grows just sixteen fold
Il feel confident that the association
CT which / am the president is Just the
organization needed to keep alive and to
foster the spirit created by this confer
ence. II ia an association which has
been in existence about three years, but
which in that snort time has accom-
piished great things. II is an association
which aims to develop commerce with
South America through the furnishing
OF information concerning South Ameri-
can needs. methods. prices. customs. and
products.
THE organization soon expects to
change its name TO the All Americas
Association. so that it may not become
confused with the Pan-American Union
