J o h n s t o n 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 World.

In 1817 he offered a proposal to authorize a salary for a minister to the provinces of the Rio de la Plata. In March, 1818, Clay made the speech which is still gratefully remembered by South Americans.

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.
