week Of the Pan-American scientific
congress ended Saturday night with
a reception to delegates by the board
Of governors of the Pan-American
Union. The function. held at the Pan

characterized all of the sessions of
the congress.

include leaders in the political and
scientific thought of atin-America,

one hand. and the responsive chord it
has found among the visitors. on the
other were features generally recog-

prohibit shipments Of arms to revolu-

ton among delegates.
