Of the world they are animated by q
desire to maintain amity and, through
loyal efforts, to further the cause of
peace.
In other respects also, sir, your ma
ton is viewed with sympathetic adj
miration by my countrymen. Your peo-
pie are conquering the wilderness and
are bringing to the markets of the world
the fruits of their labor. The mex
haustible riches of your great country,
which are contributing so effectively to
the comfort and progress of mankind,
offer a marvellous field Of activity to the
industry of your people. One need not
be a prophet to say that the future of
Brazil is one of unlimited possibilities.
ITO the life of this great nation, sir,
you have been for many years contrib
uting your patriotic endeavors. Your
field of activity has been broad and
comprehensive, earning thereby the con-
fidence and affection of the Brazilian
nation, which has rewarded you with
the supreme honor that republic can
bestow on one of its sons. In your long
and honorable public career you have
served in the legislatures of your native
state and of the federal government,
and you have discharged the duties Of
chief executive OF the great State of Sac
Paulo. The vide experience you have
gained will contribute greatly TO the
welfare and prosperity OF your country.
Reference to His Visit.
st cannot, Mr.. President-elect, per-
NIT this opportunity to pass without re-
ferring to my delightful visit TO your
country; particularly do wish to men
ton the cordially Of the reception that
was accorded TO me in your beautiful
capital. I was particularly impressed,
sir with the Spontaneity of that recep-
ton and the evidences of sincere and
unaffected friendship for the United
States which greeted me on every side.
1t is no exaggeration to say that the
impression Of that friendship which I
carried away with me will always re-
main in my memory as living evil
dence of the sentiments which the peo-
pie of Brazil cherish toward the people
Of the United States, and which hard
ly need assure your eXcellency are sin
cereiy and heartily reciprocated by
them.
LAS I have said, Mr.. President-elect,
it is a great pleasure for me to extend
to you a most cordial and heartfelt well
come on the part OF the Government
and the people of the United States. 1t
Is my earnest hope that your visit here
Will DC rs plCdSdnb HS WIS my OVID
visit TO Brazil and I should be most
happy If you felt when you leave US
some measure Of the satisfaction with
which myself look back on my expert
ence in your country. Nothing con-
tributes so much to better understand
ing between peoples and a closer CO.
operation between nations which have
common ideals and common purposes
as personal contacts and friendships be-
tween individuals, and it Is peculiarly
gratifying to us that we have this OPP
portunity to have you with us. Mrs.
Hoover, who is greatly disappointed that
she has not been able to have the pleas
ure of welcoming you here, joins me in
extending to you our best wishes for
your personal welfare and happiness
and for the success of your administra-
ton. Permit me also to express the
hope that Senhora Prestes will soon be
fully restored to health. 1t was a keen
disappointment to us that she was un-
able to accompany your excellency here.
Il am personally very happy, Mr..
Ambassador, to have been able to en-
Joy your hospitality this evening, and
appreciate deeply the courtesy which
you have shown me"
