While the Hoover party was waiting
for the blow to subside they were guests
of the officials OF Salvador at recep-
ton and dinner in the Office of the In
ternational Railway of Central America.
Before dinner Mrs. Hoover made
tour of the city, which is half mile
distant from the port.
Make 15O-miIe Journey.
Some is Americans living in Tegu-
cigalpa, Honduras, made journey of
some $50 miles to the port of Amapala
to welcome Mr.. Hoover when he landed
there on the first stop of his good will
tour. One mining man who had been
out of the United States for long
time vociferously cheered. This is the
proudest day of our lives. We're thrilled
to DEATH" he explained.
Mr.. Hoover, in his first speeches on
the trip. told the people of Honduras
and of San Salvador that he was pay
ing them a call of friendship in behalf
of the people of the United States. Both
addresses. one at Amapala. the other
at La Union, were brief and both en-
phasized the need for mutual under
standing between the United States and
other democracieS of the American
continent
At both SeaportS yesterday he was
given a warm and colorful welcome. The

The President-elect spoke first at
Amapala.
In our daily life good neighbors call
upon each other as the evidence of So
licitude for the common welfare" he
said, land to learn of the circumstances
and point Of view of each, so that
there may come both understanding and
| respect, which are the elementary forces
| of ali enduring society"
He told his audience that the United
States and Honduras were pledged
through the blood of their forefathers
| to national independence.
La Union is but ten miles across the
Gulf of Fonesca from Annapolis, in Hon.
dras. Mr.. Hoover made the trip in a
motor launch, and found the town en-
| joying a holiday while waiting for his
coming.
I'VE perhaps hear more of economic
and trade relations between countries
| than any other one subject in the field
| of international life" he told large
audience "This may be easily ex-
planned, for out of our economic life do
we build up the foundations upon which
other progress rests. And our interna-
| tional economic relations can have but
| one real foundation. They can grow
! only out of the prosperity of each of US
| They cannot flourish in the poverty or
| degeneration of any of us. Our economic
progress is mutual. 1t is not competi-
| tive
But economic development does not
| and should not be the sole basis of ex-
| change between nations, but rather the
| incident of it. We have the mutual
| problems of strengthening the founda-
| ton of peace, building up confidence
and friendship and the institutions and
| ideals of each of our nations"
Mr.. Hoover was to have returned to
| the Maryland after he was the guest
| Of honor at formal dinner in La
| Union, but rough water on the stretch
| between the shore and the battleship
| delayed his departure from Salvador
