vice from the Pan American I'm
ion. Through the Intermediary of the
diplomatic representatives at Wash
ingtOn there is a constant exchange
of information and experience, The
effectiveness Of this interchange is
strengthened by the publications Of
the Pan American Union, especially
the Spanish, Portuguese and English
editions of the monthly Bulletin, sup
plemented by descriptive handbooks
of each of the Republics, and special
publications relating to their foreign
commerce.
The Educational Section of the
Union, under the able direction of
the Assistant Director, DR.. Francisco
]. fantes, is unremitting in its ef-
forts to develop closer cultural ties
between the Republics of this contin-
ent, Through the activities of this
section, scholarships have been es-
tabliShed in the United States for
students from Latin American eoun-
tries and similarly students from the
United States are given opportunities
to pursue special investigations in
Latin America.
CLAIMS SETTLED
At stated intervals since the as
sembling of the First Pan American
conference in 1889, aditional confer
enceS have been held, each of which
has contributed its share toward
bringing about closer relations be-
tween the differnt sections of the
continent. Through series of trea-
ties and conventions agreed upon at
these conferences, it has been posi-
Bile to reach an orderly solution Of
problems which might otherwise
have become the subject of interna-
tional differences. Thus such ques-
tions as the settlement of pecuniary
claims; the formulation and codifca-
ton of international law; the control
of infectious and contagious diseases
and many other matters have been
covered by conventions through
which an early procedure is estab-
lished for their solution.
These general Pan American con-
ferences have been supplemented by
a series of specialized conferences
which also have contributed their
due share towards developing Pan
American cooperation.
Soon after the outbreak of the
European war, the Secretary of the
Treasury called a conference of the
Ministers of Finance of the Americ-
an Republics to consider the fnan-
cial situation which had arisen by
reason of the war in Europe, This
conference met in Washington in
1915, and led to the formation Of a
permanent organization known as
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1921-12-22

ing upon new era of international
goodwill and cooperation have been
sadly shattered. Enthusiasm has CIV
en- way to moral laSSitude and cyni-
clSm. The reSurgence Of selfish ma
tionaliStic and even imperialistic am
bltion on the part of the peoples of
Europe has developed an atmosphere
OF peSSlmlsm with reference to the
future of Western civilization.
The bitter experience Of the last
few years has served to undermine
many accepted and hitherto unques-
toned beliefs relative to information
al affairs. There is a growing feel
ing that the ruthless international
competition, which has characterized
world relations during the last CEN
tury, has not produced the results
which were anticipated Even those
countries that seemed to gain the
greatest advantage from this compe
tltlve system have often found those
advantages hollow and of little per-
manent value. With this increasing
doubt as to the efficiency of interna-
tlonal competition, there is a growing
feeling that the welfare Of the mass
eS of the people in all countries can
best be guaranteed through a policy
OF international cooperation rather
than competition.
FIRST CONFERENCE.
Since the first Pan American con-
ference, held in 1889, under the
statesmanlike leadership of James G.
Blaine, there has been worked out
policy of international co-opera-
ton and mutual helpfulness amongst
the Republics of the American con-
tinent which may well serve as an
example and inspiration to the ma
tions of the world. For a period of
over thirty years, the diplomatic re-
presentatives of the American Re-
.publcs have been meeting each
month, presided over by the Secre-
tary of State Of the United States,
to discuss matters of common inter
est and concern. Through such in
terchange of thought and opinion,
there has been created an atmoS-
phere of mutual trust and confidence
which has served to solve amicably
and through the reasonable and or
derly processes of discussion, large
number Of problems which might
otherwise have become the source of
international irritation.
Even more significant than the
peaceful settlement of pending inter
national problems of the spirit of
mutual helpfulness which has found,
and which still finds its expression in
this organization the accumulated ex-
perience Of the entire American con-
tinent is placed at the disposal of
each and every one of the Republics.
Whenever expert service is required
for the solution of any pending do
mestic problem, whether it is in mat
tiers of education, sanitation, irriga-
ton, or any other department of ma
tional activity, the governments of
the American Republics are aware
that they can secure such expert ser

es were Latin American rather than
Pan American in chaacter, and the
inclusion of the United States was
intended as a demonstration of the
community of intellectual and cultur-
al purposes of the nations of Amer
ica. At the Santiago Congress, of
1908, prominent representatives of
science and letters of every Americ-
