Carrying Herbert Hoover to the

hours.

u. S. S. Maryland, off La Union,
Salvador, Nov. 27.-(P)-Herbert
Hoover in his first speeches on his
present trip told the people of Hon.
duras and of San Salvador that he
was paying them call of friend
ship in behalf Of the people of the
United States. Both addresses, one
at Amapala, the other at La Union,
/ were brief, and both emphasized the
need for mutual understanding be-
tween the United States and other
! democracies of the American con-
! tinent.
At both seaports yesterday he was
given warm and colorful welcome.
The military were present in gor-
geous uniforms. There were salutes
and return salutes, the hosting Of
flags, and bands playing "The Star
Spangled Banner"
The president-elect spoke first at
Amapala.
I'm our daily life, good neighbors
call upon each other as the evidence
Of solicitude for the common well
fare" 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 all en-
during society,""
independence Pledged
He told his audience that the
United States and Honduras were
pledged through the blood of their
forefathers to national independence.
I'VE in the United States have
learned much from the experience Of
our Latin-American neighbors, and
we in turn take pride in our con-
tributions to the common pool Of
human advancement in these one
hundred and fifty years. Therefore
| have felt that the larger personal
acquaintance with both our neigh
boring countries and with their
points of view, and above all with
the men who have been elected to
responsibility in their governments,
would be valuable in the task which
lies before me-
"Those who know the United
States" he declared, 'know also
that we have only one desire, and
that is to cooperate to a constantly
improving understanding, to common
progress, and to common attain
ment."
La Union is but 10 miles across
the Gulf Of Fonseca from Amapala
in Honduras. Mr.. Hoover made the
trip in motor launch, and found
the town enjoying holiday while
waiting for his coming.
Economic Progress Mutual
1--WE perhaps hear more Of eco
nomic and trade relations between
countries than any other one SUBJ
ject in the field Of international
life," he told large audience. "This
may be easily explained, for out Of
our economic life do we build the
foundation upon which other prog
ress rests. And our international
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 mu-
tual. It is not competitive.
"But economic development is
not and should not be the sole basis
of exchange between nations, but
rather an incident Of it, We have
the mutual problems Of strengthen
| ing the foundation Of peace, building
up confidence and friendship and
the institutions and ideals Of each
of our nations"
