El Imparcial. (San Juan, P.R.) 1918-197?, 1922-05-20

chas veces durante mi viaje de cerca
ide cuatro amos por esas fertilfsimas
tierras de la America espanola, dom
de las belleZas magnificas del suelo Y
la hospitalidad cordial de los habitan-
ties, parecen disputarse la admiration
Iprimera del turista. Mucho llevo es-
critic acerca de este, y mucho mas
me propongo escribir, particularmen-
te respecto de las tres Repdblicas del
Sur, menos conocidas: Colombia, Ell
Ecuador y el PERT; paises fabulosa-
mente ricos, hermosos sobre todo en-
comic, cubiertos de una vegetation
formidable, eternamente verde, que
los hace parecidos tres prodigiosas
esmeraldas.
