Xhi dream of the civilised peoples
cf the world since history recorded
civilisation has been and is being ac
complished today on the Western
Continent.
International disputes are being
settled before their activities have
more than been born. Hatreds are
smothered in the cradle. Injustice
is an unknown Quantity. The sword
has indeed been beaten into a plow
share and this in the face of the cry,
"There will always be war."
While the great nations of the
world view with suspicion even the
suggestions of peace overtures that
shall last forever, view with distrust
the hopes of a universal disarmament,
cling to the weapons of war with one
hand while touching the olive branch
with the other, there is before them
an example of international co-operation,
of international helpfulness, of
misunderstanding smoothed away
across a table that has been going on
for years and with each new year
seeing a more complete understand
ing and a eloser drawing together of
the nations thus affected.
Peace and Prosperity.
While . the great nations of the
earth shout of their civilization and
their desire for brotherhood and go
on with the ever-increasing program
of ships and guns the "Pan American
Union" goes on its way bringing
peace and prosperity to its member
ship and growing trust and confidence
in its decisions.
Throughout the world, the masses
of the people are passing through a
period of disillusionment and disap
pointment The high hopes enter
tained immediately subsequent to the
Great War, that the world was enter
ing upon a new era of international
good-will and co-operation have been
aadly shattered. Enthusiasm has
given way to moral lassitude and
cynicism. The resurgence of selfish
nationalistic and even imperialistic
ambition on the part of the peoples of
Euro pa has developed an atmosphere
of pessimism with reference to the
future of Western civilisation.
The bitter experience of the last
few years has served to undermine
many accepted and hitherto unques
tioned beliefs relative to internation
al affairs. There is a growing feeling
that the ruthless international com
petition, which has characterized
world relations during the last cen
tury, has not produced the results
which were anticipated. Even those
countries that seemed to gain the
greatest advantage from this com
petitive system have often found
those advantages hollow and of little
permanent value. With this Increas
ing doubt as to the efficiency of inter
national competition, there is a grow
ing feeling that the welfare of the
masses of the people in all countries
can best be guaranteed through a
policy of international co-operation
rather than competition.
First Conference.
Since the first Pan American Con
ference, held in 1889 under the states
manlike leadership of James G.
Blaine, there has been worked out a
policy of international co-operation
and mutul helpfulness amongst the
, K"ruV!tc9 of the American Continent
. uHrh may well serve as an example
rd inspiration to the nations of the
i wor'd. For a period of over thirty
; year, the diplomatic representatives
i of the American Republics have been
j meeting each month, presided over by
; the i-ecretary of State of the United
j S'ates, to discuss matters of common
interest and concern. Through such
interchange of thought and opinion,
there has been created an atmosphere
of mutual trust and confidence which
has served to solve amicably and
through the reasonable and orderly
processes of discussion, a largo num
ber of problems which might other
wise have become the source of inter
national irritation.
Even more significant titan the
peaceful settlement of pending inter
national problems is the spirit of
mutual helpfulness which haa found
and which still finds expression in
the Pan American Union. Through
this organisation the accumulated ex
perience of the entire American Con
tinent is placed at the disposal of
each and every one of the Republics.
Whenever expert service is required
for the solution of any pending do
mestic problem, whether it is in mat
ters of education, sanitation, irriga
tion, or any other department of
national activity, the governments of
the American Republics are aware
that they can secure such expert serv
ice from the Pan American Union.
Through the intermediary of the dip
lomatic representatives at Washing
ton there is a constant exchange of
information and experience. The ef
fectiveness of this interchange is
strengthened by the publications of
the Pan American Union, especially
the Spanish, Portuguese, and English
editions of the monthly Bulletin, sup
plemented by descriptive handbooks
of each of the Republics, and special
publications relating to their foreign
commerce.
The Educational Section of the
Union, under the able direction of the
Assistant Director, Dr. Francisco J.
Yanes, is unremitting in its efforts to
develop closer culture ties between
the Republics of this Continent
Through the activities of this Section,
scholarships have been established in
the United States for students from
Latin American countries and simi
larly students from the United States
are given opportunities to pursue
special investigations in Latin Amer
ica. Claims Settled.
At stated intervals since the as
sembling of the First Pan American
Conference in 1889, additional confer
ences have been held, each of which
has contributed its share toward
bringing about closer relations be
tween the different sections of the
Continent Through a series of trea
ties and conventions agreed upon at
these conferences, it has been possi
ble to reach an orderly solution of
problems which might otherwise have
become the subject of international
differences. Thus such questions as
the settlement of pecuniary claims;
the formulation and codification of
international law; the control of in
fectious and contagious diseases and
many other matters have been eov
ered by conventions through which
an early procedure is established for
their solution.
These general Pan American Con
ferences have been supplemented hy
a series of specialiied conferences
which have also contributed their due
share toward developing Pan Amer
ican co-operation.
Soon after the outbreak of the Eu
ropean War, the Secretary of the
Treasury called conference of the
Ministers of Finance of the American
Republics to consider the financial
situation which had arisen by reason
of the war in Europe. This confer
ence met in Washington in 19 IS, and
led to the formation of a permanent
organization known as the Inter
American High Commiasion, designed
to foster eloser co-operation between
the different sections of the Conti
nent This Commission isjnade op of
a national section organised in each
country, presided over by the Minis
ter of Finance, and composed of nine
eminent financiers and jurists. At
the close of the war, the second of
these international conferences met
at Washington to consider the finan
cial situation in which the American
Republics found themselves by reason
of new conditions created by the
termination of the war. Thia second
conference entrusted to this perma
nent organisation the Inter-American
High Commission the further
duty of fostering closer financial and
commercial ties, and this work is
now being carried forward with most
gratifying results.
The First Pan American Scientific
Congress, which was held at Santiago,
Chile, in 1908, was a further factor in
establishing closer cultural ties be
tween the Republics of America.
Prior to 1908, these congresses were
Latin American rather than Pan
American in character, and the inclu
sion of the United States was intend
ed as a demonstration of the com
munity of intellectual and cultural
purposes of the nations of America.
At the Santiago Congress, of 1908,
eminent representatives of science
and letters of every American country
met for interchange of views, and de
veloped plans for closer intellectual
co-operation. The second of these
Scientific Congresses was held at
Washington in 1916, and the third
will assemble at Lima, Peru, in July,
1923.
