The luncheon, attended by a great many of the delegates from the 21 na- tions represented at the conference, ‘was one of many such affairs arranged in their honor during the four-day sessions which opened today. Gen. Harbord greeted the delegates in Span- ish before he began his speech, which ‘was given in English and later trans- lated into Spanish by C. B. Marshall of the radio corporation. A response to the general's greetings was made by Jose Walter of the Chamber of #ommerce of Tegucigalpa, Honduras. After luncheon the delegates were ‘taken on sightseeing tours, the.

Interchange of Opis “These conferences will afford the opportunity for a frank interchange of opinion on all matters relating to the commercial interests of the Amer- fcas. Out of your discussions there will emerge a clearer conception of the measures which each of us must take in order to remove any existing obstacles to trade and to pave the way for an ever-increasing interchange of commodities between the nations of this continent “In addition to thus strengthening the commercial ties between the re- publics of America, I think that I am accurately interpreting the viewpoint of the governing board of the Pan- American Union when I say that the board was fully conscious of the fact that these conferences give expression to one of the aspects of that larger movement which with each year is making more apparent the essential unity of interest as well as the unity of purpose of the two Americas. “The distinctively commercial phases of this movement will be fully dealt with in the course of your discussions, and with your permission I should like to address myself to certain as- pects of the situation which, although not entirely in the regularly arranged program of the conferences, have a direct bearing on the larger purposes which we all have in view. Series of Treaties. “It is but natural—in fact, inevita- ble—that with the varying interests of the 21 republics involved differ- ences of opinion should arise on sub- jects of both major and minor impor- tance. In some quarters I find a ten- dency to magnify these differences rather than. to emphasize the many and important instances in which unity of purpose and unity of policy have characterized the action of the American republics. ““An examination of the proceedings of the five successive International n. Washington, in 1889, discloses the ventions and resolutions which have laid the foundation of an American system in the best sense of the word, a system embodying agreements for the orderly and peaceful settlement of disputes and for constructive co-opera- | tion in the solution of common prob- lems. The development of this spirit of unity does not involve the slightest thought of antagonism to any other section of the world. It is simply a | recognition of the fact that the New World is confronted with a group of problems which have arisen out of the | special circumstances surrounding the settlernent of our respective countries nd that the most effective solution of these problems s to be gained by con- stant interchange of experience and by a carefully planned co-ordination of effort. Unity of Purpose. “The more 1 study the conditions on this continent the more I am impressed with the fact that the basie principles underlying the civilization of all the Republics of America are essentially the same; their political ideals are in entire harmony with one another, and their social development is moving along the same lines. Those facts con- stitute a firm basis for international sympathy and good feeling. The points or resemblance that unite us are far more numerous and far more im- portant than any differences that may exist, Your presence here today is the most convincing demonstration not only of the existence of common prob- lems but of the earnest d e to find the best means for their solution. “Pan-Americanism means something far deeper than the existence of friendly relations between govern- ments; it means, above all things, a mutually sympathetic understanding of national ideals and purposes be- tween the peoples of this continent. “Over a century ago, while the na- tions of Latin America were in the midst of their struggle for independ- ence, the people of the United States followed this struggle with the deepest interest and sympathy, consicous of the fact that the aspirations of all the nations of this continent were essen- tially the same. Throughout the cen. tury that has elapsed since that time this unity of purpose and unity of ijdenh has become more and more evi- ent. Example of Progress. “It is needless for me to say to you that the Government, as well as the people, of the United States desire to foster the closest possible understand- ing with the governments and nations of Latin America. We are seeking no special privileges and we desire noth- ing that we are not willing recipro- cally to grant to our sister republics. We are anxious that this hemisphere shall give to the world an example of orderly progress, of mutual respect for rights, and that there shall also be a mutual fulfillment of obligations. It is only on such a basis that real and permanent progress can be assured. “In closing, permit me to wish you, in the name of the governing board of the Pan-American Union, the fullest measure of success in the deliberations upon which you are about to enter and to express the hope that these confer- ences will mark a further step in the Conferences of the American States held since the first conference at Dr. Enrique Olaya, Minister of Co- lombia, addressed the conference as follows: “Mr. Secretary of State, Mr. Secre- tary of Commerce, members of the governing board, delegates to the Pan- American Commercial Congress, mem- bers of the Inter-American Commis- sion of Commercial Aviation. “‘Gentlemen: My colleagues, the mem- bers of the governing board of the Pan-American Union, very Kkindly honored me some little time ago by designating me vice chairman of that board for the present year, and it is in this capacity that I, today, have the honor of addressing these words of cordial welcome to the delegates to the third Pan-American commercial pointment would be made from them. Mr. Dougherty pointed out that the Commissioners are anxious to fill the position as soon as is practicable and that they do not propose to wait on an opinfon from Controller General McCarl, who was asked some time ago whether a retired Army officer serv- ing as traffic director could continue to draw his retirement pay. The post of trafic director has been vacant since April 1, when Eldridge was de- moted to assistant director. PRISONERS AT POLICE COURT STROLL IN SUN 165 Arrested for Intoxication and Disorderly Conduct Allowed to Walk in Yard. ‘The May sunshine favored those ar- rested for intoxication and disorderly conduct over the week end, when the doors of the cellrooms of the District branch of Police Court were thrown open today and the occupants allowed to stroll around the courtyard in the rear of the building. Thres scores of heavy-eyed prison- ers took advantage of Judge Gus A Schuldt’s offer and escaped from the heretofors congested quarters for the back yard. Only defendants in the District branch were given this opportunity, and then not until after trial. One hundred and sixty-five were Jocked up altogether. The others out- side of the United States cases were able to pay their fines and obtain their release. Pvts. Lucas and Miller were detailed to watch over the crowd. LIQUOR TRADE BAhED. Detroit Man Tells of $5,000,000 Business on Canada Side. WINDSOR, Ontario, Mav 2 (P).— G. A. Savard of Detroit, reputed con- signee of much liquor and Leer sent breweries and distilleries on itk Canadian border, today told the Royal Commission investigating smug- gling that his business amounts to more than $5,000,000 a year. Savard's appearance before the com- mission was brought about by the threat that his supplies would be cut off unless he testified. Newton W. Rowell, chief govern- ment attorney, questioned Savard, but did not ask him what became of the large quantities of liquor and beer he admitted purchasing for delivery at ‘Windsor. OLD TAGS BRING ARREST. Auto California Stopped in Pennsylvania. ASTER, Pa. May 2 (®).— Frank Lockhart, widely known racing auto driver, traveled from Hollywood, Calif., to Lancaster with 1926 automo- bile license tags, but was stopped here Jast night. His car is at a police station, but Lockhart was permitted to continue to Atlantic Cif where he is entered in races next Saturday. Lockhart was said to have applied Racer From LA conference and members of the Inter- American Commission of Commercial Aviation. “The general aspects of this as- sembly, its purposes and the hopes to which it gives rise, have just been exhaustively set forth by his excel- lency the Secretary of State, and in a few moments we shall hear the au- thoritative remarks of his excellency the Secretary of Commerce. My words on this occasion are only an expression of fellowship with the Latin American delegates from one of their own race and speech and, for the delegates of the United States, a sincere affirma- tion that there is a genuine desire on the part of the nations to the south- fulfillment of the larger purposes of pan-American unity.” Colombian Minister Delivers Welcome to Conference the occasional drops due to causes of a transitory nature. We all know that this marvelous growth in eco- nomic interchange is due to two per- manent causes—the great industrial expansion of the United States, which, because of world-shaking events changing the centers of intenational political and financial life, gave Amer- ican manufacturers a wider radius of consumption in Latin American mar- kets; and, secondly, the marvelous wealth of Central and South America which has made them the sodrce of supply—for many years to come irre- placeable—of raw materials and of foodstuffs which find their natural consumer in the populous centers of this country, inhabited by more than 100,000,000 people. ““One has only to glance at the map of the Americas and to fix the atten- tion on their respective statistics to be impressed by this truth. “‘As sources of supply for artcles of prime necessity, Argentina and Urau- guay years ago attained a leading place in world markets, and in time of supreme crises the world was their debtor for the many benefits derived from their valuable products. ‘“‘The territories of the Antliles are daily increasing their agricultural in- dustry, led by Cuba, whose amnual trade with the United States reaches hundreds of millions of dollars—a trade determined by special tariff agreements and commercial treaties ward to contribute to the development and stimulation of a commercial and financial policy which, by an equitable and mutual consideration of the in- terests involved, shall still further in- crease the marvelous figures already achieved in the economic interchange between our various peoples. Some Criticism Inevitable. “With respect to the ultimate resuit of efforts such as those today Intrust- ed to the members of the third Pan- American Commercial Congress, some criticism and even a lack of confidence are inevitable. The problems included in its activities are so complex and the questions to be considered so vast, that opposing opinions and divergent views not always easy to reconcile will inevitably arise. If, nevertheless, we look backward and strike a balance in the results obtained through preceding conferences, we shall find solid grounds not only for frank optimism but for a positive afirmation as to what the fu ture means in the unification of the political and economic interests of this continent, from the standpoints of facts considered and analyzed in as- semblies of this character. The funda- | mental condition for success is to be found in the sincerity, the good faith and the competence with which the mutual interchange of ideas is ac- complished. In reading the papers presented to the first and second Pan- American Commercial Congresses one cannot fail to observe the frank and open manner of presenting and dis- cussing the various problems, some |important and complicated, others iensy of settlement, but all susceptible of satisfactory solution, granted a spirit of impartial investigation. This policy of frankness and good faith, fruitful in any field, yields a more magnificent harvest in the world of business than in any other. As early as 1889, in the Washington conference, an {llustrious Argentine, Senor Saenz Pena, and an eminent American, Gen. Henderson, in their discussion of the economic subjects of that assembly, provided both an example and a lesson in showing how friendly exposition, in even the most diverse and opposing points of view, lets in the light, ban- ishes misunderstandings, eradicates prejudices and establishes friendship on firm and enduring foundations. Record of Commerce. “The development of commerce be- tween the United States and the Latin American natlons, always con- sidered by statesmen of the first rank as destined to reach enormous propor- tions, has perhaps surpassed every- thing that could be hoped for some decades ago.

Fertilizer of Chile. “Chile supplies world agriculture with the wonderful fertilizer which maintains the fertility of the soil and renews its fruitfulness. “The subsoil of Bolivia, largely ex- ploited as it is at present, constitutes for that country a great future in what economists have called the ‘strategy of minerals’ in international industrial life. “The products on which the future prosperity of Paraguay are based are being utilized in an ever-increasing scale, now that her sparsity of popula- tion—one of the principal obstacles to her development hitherto—has been overcome. “Panama, by the single fact of her geographical situation, is uniquely privileged by nature, the benefits of which are enhanced by one of the most monumental works contributed by modern engineering to international ommerce. “Ecuador at the present time is ac- tively fostering the development of her great natural resources by a thorough reorganization of her entire financia) system “‘Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela and the republics of Central America con- tinue to increase their potentlality as Coffee-producing countries. Every day sees the increasing growth of this in- dustry, which first forged ahead thanks to the indomitable persever- ance of those early planters who suc- ceeded in creating it and giving it life only by the overcoming of almost in- superable obstacles, among which cer- not the least were the crisis which continually threatened the in- dustry and which required great fore- sight in the adoption of means directed toward the stabilization of prices and faith that economic ruin would not be the ultimate and unjust recompense for their long and unremitting efforts, “‘Mexico is supplying the petroleum which is such an important factor in the clvilization and comfort of the modern economic world, a factor sur- passed, perhaps, only by the discov- {erlefl and applications of electrical science. “In this utilization of the subsoil Mexico has been followed by Peru, thus compensating by a new source of great wealth the fabulously rich gold | mines which provided such magnifi- cent opulence in colonial days. i Venezuela and Colombia. “And as the tropics, with the pomp |and majesty proper to their nature, take their place among the great pur- veyors of this important combustible, Venezuela and Colombia find them selves in the foremost rank, their ofl flelds during the last five years havii become a vertable El Dorado, tow: adoption of a series of treaties, con-|s | By Secretary Kellogg and Colombian Secretary de Estado Kellogg en iscurso de Bienvenida: icnores Miembros de la Confer- encia Commercial Pan-Americana y de Ja Comlisién Inter-Americana de Aviacién Comercial: En mi cardter de Presidente del Consejo Directivo me corresponde, y considero como un verdadéro privi- legio, saludaros cordialmente en nombre de la Unién Panamericana v, al mismo tiempo, aseguraros a. todos cada uno de vosotros que esta Capital os extienda la mas calurosa blenvenida, asf como también esta Unién dedicada a la buena voluntad internacional y a la ayuda muiua “Al convocar la Tercera Conferencia Comerclal Panamericana y la Comision Interamericana de Aviaci6h Comercial, los miembros del Consejo Directivo se dieron cuenta exacta del papel tan importante que desempefia el comercio en el desarrollo de un entendimiento méds fntimo; pero a la vez se dieron igual cuenta de que el aumento en el comercio puede contribuir a un mejor entendimiento internacional tnica- mente cuando lo domina un senti miento de honradez y la mascompleta buena fe. “Estas conferencias dardn oportu- nidad para un franco intercambio de pareceres v opiniones en todos los asuntos que se relacionan con los intereses comerciales de las Amerfcas.

A través del siglo que ha transcurrido desde entonces, esta unidad de prop6sitos y de ideales se ha hecho més y més evidente. “Por mi parte, huelga deciros que tanto el goblerno como el pueblo de los Estrados Unidos estin deseosos de Tomentar el més intimo entendimiento posible con todos los gobiernos v pueb- los de la América Latina.
