His manner was so emphatic that T folt 1 had nothing else to do but to climb back into my wet saddle, lis- tening to Prescott as he gave final in- structions to our men to follow by an- other route. And ride we did. Ina country where there areé no roads nor semblance of roads, over a loose ooze literally the color of blood and as slimy in wet weather as the back of an eel, speedy movement is not easy. First over one range, clear o the crest of the Peak | of Siippery Death, then sheer down, | for possibly 4.000 feet, across a shal- |low riverbed amd through a broken. were those ot the United States. To dispose of minor matters of difference and to promote the recognition of | these_common ideals, the Pan-Ameri- | can Union was established. The commercial side of the union's activity has always had more publicity than the cultural side. This has been natural, and has been the result of more immediate profits. The advan- tages of commercial treaties and the increase of trade have been shown in | dollars and cents, and where finan- clal gain is concerned results are aquick. But the profits of cultural homo- Reneit re necessarily slower in com- ing and more difficult to recognize when they do come. The establish- ment of a common outloock comes by degrees, but it is usually not noticed until it has been attained. Yet that common outlook has been almost com- pletely reached. and a chief indication of this is given in the complete suc cess which accompanied the sugges- | tion of a Pan-American Congress of Journalists, CEE and in Latin America has been in effect for some time, and in addition, leading educators have been engaged to teach at schools outside their own nations for the purpose of acquaint- ing the’ students with the ideals of their own countries. The activities of scientists along research lines have been aided by the union through the various governments. . Recently much attention has been given to the creation of interest in this country in Latin American poetr: and music. Frequent concerts have been held at the Pan-American Build- Ing, at which artists of the Latin Amerfcan nations appeared in re- citals of the music of their respec- tive countries. Through the union the translation of Latin American poetry into English has been encouraged and at the same time the Latin American newspapers and magazines have been urged to publish translations of Amer- ican verse into their own language. All these activities, however, much as they have accomplished, have in reality been.but preliminary steps to what is expected to be accomplished by this and forthcoming congresses This was the first real organization |of the Pan-American Union. 1In its formation one of the chief aims of Bolivar was forgotten, however. It was a purely commercial bureau. de signed to aid 4n the establishment of better commercial relations, and little | or no thought was given to the cul tural side of the organization, a sid- which seemed to Bolivar, and which now is generally admitted, to be of equal importance with, if not of greater importance than, the com- | mercial. At the second international con- | ference this omission was recognized and the name of the bureau changed to “the International Bu reau of the American Republics.’ Another great change made at this conference was to provide for a go erning board composed of the Se retary of State of the United States| and the diplomatic representatives ot the other member republics. This is the present personnel of the board of the Pan-Amerfcan Union.
