SACK PRAISES
BEAU TIES Of
COSTA RIGA

II got q lucky break when
President Roosevelt appointed
me United States Minister to
Costa Rica. It is one of the
grandest little countries any.
where"
So declared Leo r. Sack to-
day, former washington news
paper man who became United
States minister to the Central
American republic nearly 20
months ago. Mr.. Sack added:
'"The people there are mag
hificent. The climate is all
that one would ask of his
fav0rite summer resort in July
and August and of their
favorite winter resort in
January and February. All last
summer when my friends in
Washington were sweltering in
the terrific heat, we in San
Jose found it necessary to wear
fall weight clothes and top
coats in the evening.
"AS much as / like Costa Rica
It is awfully good to be back
in Washington. One must be
away from Washington as long
rs have been to appreciate
the tremendous developments
occurring here.
ut seems to me there is more
activity here now than I have
ever seen in the 20 years / was
privileged to be a member OF
the corps Of Washington CORE
spOndents."
In Latin America the President
Is regarded as one of the most
far-Sighted statesmen to occupy
the White House." Mr.. Sack said
He added: .
ut is impossible accurately to
report the full measure Of the
esteem in which he is held in
the countries south Of the Rio
Grande. Latin America, like
the United States, is experience
ing much better business condi-
tiOns than a year or two ago,
and officials attribute this to
business improvement in the
United States.
II am very happy to say that
more and more people from the
United States are coming to
Costa Rica and other Central
American countries as tourists.
! hope that this trend will in
crease in order that the Central
Americans may become better
acquainted with the North
Americans, and North Amer
leans in turn with the people
and culture of nations in the
Caribbean area"
The diplomat spoke at noon to
day before the Overseas Writers
at a luncheon in the Nationa
Press Club.
