Founder of Many Schools.

More national secondary schools have
been founded by him in the course of
his activities than had existed prior
to his efforts. And today the educa-
tional system Of Argentina is regarded
throughout the world as ranking
among the highest in degree of ef-
fective thoroughness.
The amba ssador laid particular en-
phasis upon the single elemental diff
ference between the educational system
in his country and in the United
States, this difference being that there
the youth of the country are given by
the government the privilege OF an
education which carries them from the
primary school through to the high
est degrees of the universities. A COM
paratively nominal sum is charged for
matriculatlon fees and rights to the
examinations. Otherwise the tremen-
dous advantages of advanced educa-
tioi are furnished absolutely gratis.
1T is money carefully invested, SAID
the am baSSador.
The national educational system. as
described by him, shows the complete
ness with which Argentina has gone
about the task of furnishing knowl-
edge to its citizens. 1t should be borne

FEDERICO ALFONSO PEZET.
Minister from Peru.

The development of the spirit of pan
Americanism during the period of his
diplomatic service in the United States:
an oatiine of various factors which
have contributed to the spreading of
this sentiment in North and South
America. and the manner in which both
divisions of the continent are benefited
by mutual sympathy and understanding

from Peru TO the United States, in

sentative of The Star

service to his country minister in

general in New York city. AS he ex-
presses il:

sire of my work in this country has

tinent will be strongly united. every

Speaking of the growth of the policy
of pan-Americanism, Mr.. Pezet said:
Since the pronouncing of the Mon
roe doctrine, the United States has
striven, with varying degrees of en-
thusiasm. to promote the pan-Ameri-
can spirit Gradually the benefits
which would inevitably accrue to all
parties concerned became evident the

Urges Merchant Marine.

The commission adopted resolutions
declaring the creation of an American
merchant marine to be of paramount
importance. Minister of Finance Gallo
geras of Brazil declared that Brazil
strongly supports the efforts of the
United States to solve this pressing
problem. Speakers at the meeting de-
clared that Latin America looked to the
United States to meet the situation and
the belief was expressed that full de-
Velopment of interameriCan relations
was impossible without an adequate
American merchant marine.
AS a pan-American unit of money of
account. the conference adopted the
franc of .33437 gramme gold 900 fine,
which is exactly one-fifth of the value
of the United States gold dollar. This
new pan-American unit was recon-
mended by the conference for uniform
use in connection with custom statis-
ties.
The conference urged the completion
of an intercontinenta railway system.
and the Improvement of telegraph and
cable facilities in order to bring the
American republics into the closer
union which their community of inter-
est invites.
