gress should be held in one Of the
Latin American countries. such as
Mexico, Argentina. Brazil or Uru-
quay The great success obtained by
the first Pan-American Congress of

ia Cronica" Of Lima, declared, Il
believe that the congress is rather
heterogeneous. but have noted a
spirit of inter. American cordiality.

any practical results. except that the
personal contacts formed here will
result at later date in written COM
munications and thus indirectly prove
conducive to harmony"
