WASHINGTON, Dec! 27. Vice
President Mnrwhnll, in tho absence of
President Wilson, welcomed todnj
delegates of tho South, nnd Central
American republics at tho opening
session of tho Pan-American scien
tific coiiffrcss.
In his brief address he declared the
ideal of Pan-Americanism fhould be
tu prevent unjust interference in the
affaire! of the American nations nnd
that tho United Stntcs would be the
first to resent such interference with
any American country.
All for One Ono for AH
Secretnry Lansing, as bend of the
governing board of tho Pan-Amencnn
union, advocated a Pan-Amcricunisui
that would bo "ono for all; all for
one," nnd declared that Pan-Americanism
was an expression of interna
tionalism. In behalf of the congress,
its presiding officer, Ddunrdo Sna
re:, tho ambassador from Chile, re
plied, referring to President Wilson's
recent nddrcsn to the American con
gress in which ho discushcd Pan
American rclntions at length.
"Although representing only ono of
the republics," said Ambassador Sna
re:, "I am convinced that I am inter
preting tho thought and feeling of
each nnd every one of them when 1
say tho government of tho United
StntcH completes the erasing with n
fricndlv hand of tho last traeos of
past misundorstnnding nnd erroneous
jnlcrpollntionB which had clouded the
jtuiizon of America.
Misgivings Forgotten
"No doubt there hud picviiilrd be
fore now in the atmosphere in Amer
ican foreign offices uncertainties,
misghings nnd suspicions whenever
(he well-inspired nnd iiii(iiestioiiable
bcncfiuiil declaiatioii by President
Monroe ivn brnndiHliod m the United
stales with u iew to practical appli
cation. There was lacking the pre
uiso definition of the inclining and ex
tent of that mcmorublo document ami
many of the weaker Ameiicun nations
seemed afraid and apprehensive
whenever the new i cached them of
a posNible practical application of its
declarations.
"Let us, wo delegates nith tho
Latin soul, prove that wo are equally
capable of genera tin? encigy to in
sure the wellheing of hiimtmkiiid as
our brothers of Saxon America. I
icquest the congress thnt with all
standing up. it nhall join me in send
ing the homage of our i expect ful
greetings to the provident of tho
l niled Ststc-, who is to us the hnh-
oit embodiment of tho national en
tity of this republic."
