1.-The delegations Of the American
| republics which have convened al
this capital al the invitation of the
government of the United States OF
America to take part in the second
pa American financial conference
have highly appreciated the cordia
message of welcome which your eK
celIency was SO kind as to address
to them at the beginning of theiI
| labors, and sincerely regret that the
delicate state of your excellency's
health has deprived them of the honor
and pleasure of seeing you in their
| midst.
| Nevertheless. the lofty ideas ex.
pressed in your message. which was
read at the inaugural session. have
stimulated the mutual confidence and
good will with which the governments
Of the republics Of this continent came
to Washington to point where they
have coilaborated with real enthusi-
asm In order that the congress might
have beneficial results of the greatest
magnitude.
"in expressing your qualification
that the republics of this continent
do not pursue selfish aims, but have
eliminated the idea of conquest, not
only from their national thought. but
from their international policy. your
excelleney interprets with entire
fidelity the real feelings of the people
OF the American continent. All OF
them. from the beginning of their
Independent life. have always main
tanned, along with their democratic
ideas. the greatest love for. liberty
and the greatest jealousy of their
integrity and independence"
