noon today the governing board of
the Pan-American Union, of which he
Is chairman. The occasion was the

lions OF this hemisphere, on the eve

position of Secretary of State and Sec
rotary of the board.

pupllcS OF North and South America
and was presented to Mr.. Kellogg in
an appropriate speech by the Ambas-
sador OF Brazil, S. Gurgel do Amaral.
Friendship Ties Strengthened.
The period of your incumbency.,
said the Brazilian Ambassador. "has
witnessed the marked strengthening of
the ties of friendship and mutual con-

Western Hemisphere to one another,
and 1t must be source of great sat
lsfaction to you to know how much
you have contributed toward this
great end"

leather. In accepting it, Secretary
Kellogg said. in part:
"The four years during which I have
had the privilege of presiding over your
deliberations have been eventful ones
in the history OF pan-Amer1can rela-
tons. The many conferences of a
an-American character held during
this period, and especially the Havana
ence of Cancellation and Arbitration OF
1929, have set a new standard in the
forward march Of pan-American unity.
ITO me there is no more important
work to be done today than to insure
the closest possible understanding be-
tween the governments and peoples OF
America. This understanding should
express itself not only in complete mu-
tual confidence, but also take the form
of positive constructive efforts to pro-
mote cooperation in the solution of
tllC PIODiCll1o W t4IC 4CPub-
lies of America"
