A few years ago there was unveiled
In Caracas, the capital of the South
American republic of Venezuela, a
statue of a great Pan-American. The
inscription on It, written in Spanish,
reads: “ Henry Clay, 1777-1852, Apos­
tle of fraternity between the coun­
tries of Am erica and valiant defender
o f their independence. The United
States o f America presents to the
United States of Venezuela this
statue of its illustrious statesman,
speaker of the House of Representa­
tives, Senator and Secretary of State.”
The statue, given in return for one
o f General Simon Bolivar, the South
American champion of independence
and Pan-Americanism which was
unveiled in Central park in New
Y ork city in 1921, was form ally dedi­
cated by a distinguished delegation
from the United States and the statue
was received by the President of the
Republic of Venezuela.
This ceremony, which honored the
man who, in the United States, has
been called “ the First Pan-Am eri­
can” and “ the Father of Pan-Am er­
icanism” , was a significant one in the
history of the nations of the N ew

This speech gained for the United
States general'v and Henry Clay in
particular many friends among tha
South American countries, who were
destined to increase when, in 1820,
Clay introduced a motion into the
Congress to inaugurate diplomatic
intercourse with “ any of the govern­
ments of South Am erica which have
established and are maintaining their
independence of Spain.” The next
year, as the result of a resolution he
supported, President Monroe sent a
special message to congress and a
resolution to establish intercourse
with the South American nations.
When Clay became secretary of
state in 1825, his zeal in promoting
friendship between the republics of
North and South America became
apparent almost immediately. He has
been hailed as “The Father of Pan-
Americanism” in the United States
because of the steps which he took
to encourage the success of the con­
gress at Panama in 1826, which con­
vened at the call of Simon Bolivar.
The United States was not in the first
list of countries, but at Clay’s sug­
gestion this country later was in­
cluded. The invitation gave Clay an
opportunity to prepare instructions to
the United States delegation, which
in every feature seems to accord with
the principles which have governed
the Pan-American movement and the
Good Neighbor policy of recent years.
One of the facts about Clay’s in­
fluence upon the international policy
of the United States which is not
commonly known to most North
Americans is in regard to the so-
calletj “ Monroe Doctrine.” The prin­
ciples enunciated in that famous docu­
ment Clay forecast in July, 1821. He
had been pleading the cause of the
South American patriots with bril­
liance and fervor in Congress, which
was more or less indifferent to it.
Slowly, however, public opinion was
won over and when finally in 1822
the purchase of Florida was ratified.
President Monroe began to recognize
the new republics. The next year the
President uttered the words which
have been famous as the "Monroe
Doctrine,” although they might more
justly be called the “ Clay Doctrine,”
for had not Henry Clay prepared the
w ay for them and contributed ideas
to the formulation of the doctrine,
they might never have been uttered.
Clay’s last great Pan-American work,
as Secretary of State in 1825, was to
organize European influence, particu­
larly that of Russia, to prevail upon
Spain to discontinue the war against
her former colonies.

of General Simón Bolivar and Gen­

name of Henry Clay.
