 INTRODUCTORY 
 
 TWENTY prominent Mexican newspaper editors who are touring 
 the United States as the guests of the Federal Government, 
 were entertained at luncheon on Thursday, June 13th, at the 
 Bankers' Club, by the Pan-American Society. About 150 guests, 
 including some of the best known names in the financial, literary, 
 business and diplomatic world, gathered at the tables in response 
 to the Society's invitation. The affair was one of the most anima 
 ted, brilliant and sympathetic ever attended by Latin Americans 
 and their northern friends. 
 
 John Bassett Moore, a celebrated authority on international law 
 and a long known and sympathetic figure in the Latin American 
 world, presided, and welcomed the visitors on behalf of the Society. 
 How responsively he struck the chord of good feeling and real un 
 derstanding which pervaded this particular luncheon is indicated by 
 the extensive press comments in the Spanish periodicals published 
 in New York. In this connection "La Prensa, " one of the most im 
 portant Spanish dailies published here said, in its edition of June 14 : 
 
 ' 'It was Mr. Moore who after the luncheon bade the Mexican 
 journalists welcome. Accustomed to dealing with men of our race 
 he knew how to treat tenderly the patriotic sentiments of the group 
 who synthesize the active, living and untiring thought of the 
 Mexican nation. With the confidence that such a well-known theme 
 aroused in him he made allusions to Pan-American ideals and con 
 cluded with expressions of frank cordiality, prophesying that the 
 visit of the journalists would be of immediate benefit, reciprocally, 
 to the Mexican and American peoples and governments." 
 
 Manuel Carpio, the young Mexican editor who responded to the 
 notable address delivered to the Mexican editors a few days before 
 by President Wilson, replied to Mr. Moore. Carpio is a poet and 
 well-known man of letters who was born in the State of Jalis 
 co, Republic of Mexico. He surprised and delighted his auditors 
 by delivering in faultless English an eloquent address marked by 
 passages of poetic beauty and prophetic vision. 
 
 He was followed by Mr. James Carson, who addressed the visi 
 tors in Spanish. Commenting on this "La Prensa" said: "Mr. 
 Carson's enthusiastic speech moved all those present profoundly, 
 but in an especial way satisfied and impressed the Mexicans. Mr. 
 Carson has lived with them for ten years. In his position as repre 
 sentative of the Associated Press he knew and had doings with the 
 highest men in the political, social and business world, and he iden- 
 
 3 
 
tified himself and familarized himself with the elements of the 
 middle class as well as making himself possessor of the knowledge 
 of the qualities and defects of the people. He knows the country 
 from one end to the other, and having full information, free from 
 bastard passion, poured forth the impressions received with an 
 amplitude of ideas and serenity of judgment." 
 
 The Pan-American Society of the United States desires to pre 
 serve these three addresses and the memory of the notable fra 
 ternal gathering on the afternoon of June 13, 1918. Hence this 
 pamphlet.

Address of Welcome 
 
 BY THE 
 
 HON. JOHN BA55LTT MOORL 
 
 More than a generation ago a cele 
 brated public speaker startled his audi 
 ence by declaring that the days of ora 
 tory were over. When he made this 
 declaration, he had been translated from 
 the bar to the lyceum; but, as the change 
 was understood to have been dictated 
 solely by personal taste and conven 
 ience, the declaration was not supposed 
 to imply that the receipts of the box 
 office were less copious and refreshing than the fees of 
 the advocate. The speaker, however, soon relieved the 
 apprehensions of his auditors by explaining that, in his 
 opinion, the power and charm of the spoken word must 
 eventually succumb to the insistent, persistent power of 
 the press, working ceaselessly, by day and by night, in 
 the dissemination of news and the creation of public 
 sentiment. 
 
 To-day we seem to stand in the very presence of that 
 all pervasive force to which statesmen bow, and to which 
 orators, if awed into silence, pay mute obeisance; for 
 we are assembled to do honor not to a single represen 
 tative, but to a score of representatives of the great 
 profession that holds in its keeping the issues of war 
 and peace and daily disposes of the lives, fortunes and 
 reputations of men. 
 
 But, while we are ourselves thus greatly honored, we 
 are also deeply gratified ; and our gratification is not ex 
 clusively connected with any consideration of profession 
 or occupation. Although we are accustomed to meet at 
 our gatherings citizens of all the American countries, 
 this is the first occasion in recent days on which we have 
 had as our special guests of honor, citizens and repre 
 sentatives of the Republic of Mexico; and in saying that 
 their presence is a cause of deep gratification, I know 
 that I but express the heartfelt sentiment of every 
 person present. 
 
Pan-Americanism is frequently spoken of as some 
 thing of artificial creation. In this statement, although 
 it usually is uttered as a reproach, there is a substantial 
 element of truth. The things we desire and ought to 
 desire, and even the things by which we live, by no 
 means always grow spontaneously. Too often the chief 
 product of the fields, if the soil is left to itself, is weeds. 
 The main objects of our solicitude are obtained only by 
 care and cultivation. So it is with Pan- Americanism. 
 Like all other forms of association, national and inter 
 national; like even the fundamental unit of society 
 itself, the family, it presupposes the existence of a good 
 understanding, in the preservation of which, as we are 
 daily reminded, the exercise of tact and sound judgment 
 is always helpful. But, above all and before all, it pre 
 supposes the existence of a spirit of real friendliness, 
 which seeks to preserve, to stimulate and to strengthen 
 good-will by mutual kindness and reciprocal adjust 
 ments. We wish nothing more than that the Pan- 
 American Society of the United States shall be regarded 
 as a standing manifestation of that purpose. 
 
 Until human nature shall have undergone a radical 
 change, which very hopeful persons in all ages have 
 supposed to be imminent but of which there is as yet no 
 visible sign, differences will continue to arise between 
 nations and within nations, just .as they arise between 
 and within individual men; for, so marked is the ten 
 dency of men to differ even with themselves, that con 
 sistency has been declared to be a jewel. But, while 
 differences will continue to arise, it is our duty to see to 
 it that they do not grow and accumulate, thus creating 
 estrangement between those who should remain friends. 
 It is a matter of common experience that, when differ 
 ences are candidly recognized and examined, they are 
 found to be less substantial, or at any rate less difficult 
 to remedy, than had been supposed, and that the ties 
 of mutual friendship and mutual interest, confirmed by 
 time and beneficial intercourse, are essentially un 
 impaired. 
 
 The word "America" conveys a sentiment, but it 
 conveys something more. It brings to memory cherished 
 associations. It recalls days of struggle and of stress 
 through which all the independent countries of America 
 have alike passed; dajs in which, as was said of the 
 founders of the United States, the American nations, 
 unless they should hang together, were likely to "hang" 
 separately. In the present, as in the past, it is a sum- 
 
mons to harmony. May it continue to be a pledge of 
 unity in the maintenance of a common heritage of in 
 terests, aspirations and ideals. 
 
 So saying, I extend the right hand of fellowship to 
 our guests from the Republic of Mexico, and ask you to 
 rise and drink their health, in token of that concord and 
 mutual understanding which we wish always to pervade 
 the relations between two peoples who are unalterably 
 neighbors and should ever be friends. (Loud Applause. ) 
 
Address of 
 Mr. Manuel Carpio 
 
 01d King Cole was a merry old soul, 
 but he never knew, until he died, that he 
 had lived as a fool and he never knew 
 why! 
 Does it not happen to many of us 
 people, that we care not to know whether 
 we are right or wrong; and still we may 
 think that we know more than others who 
 know that we don't and- wish them to 
 think they believe that we know. 
 
 I might use this preamble in saying a few words on 
 the political psychology of Mexico. 
 
 Many of the nations of the world have told us in 
 Mexico, that they aspire to nothing else than making us 
 happy. Recalcitrant fools, like the king of the story, 
 some people have said we are; but we, Mexicans adoring 
 the things we believe in, have steadily fought in order 
 to get them. 
 
 Some call us fools. Some others praise and encourage 
 us. We have hoped, endeavored, toiled; and indeed, we 
 have fought so much, bled so much, argued so much, that 
 we seem at times not to know what we are fighting and 
 bleeding about. 
 
 All the strifes, all the ambitions, all the paradoxes, 
 all the riches, all the sufferings: that is Mexico! 
 
 Blue skies, wonderful scenery, magnificent forms of 
 love, splendid displays of heroism; then again, the tears, 
 the injustice, the violence, the hatred and the sudden 
 change: that's Mexico! 
 
 Visions of a ponderous future, blessed with the free 
 breezes of democracy; efforts and endurance of a people 
 not born for slavery; passions and lust, innocence and 
 beauty, wretchedness and romance: that's Mexico! 
 
 We possess the lean and brave stamina of Don Qui- 
 jote, coupled to the fat and grotesque rudeness of San- 
 cho Panza. And the more we are as God made us, and 
 the more we wish to be understood, the less we are known 
 as we are and are known to be worse than we are. 
 
 10 
 
Why! Have we not fought for so long a time, and 
 has not the press of the world reported that there was 
 nothing left in us worth while for survival? 
 
 But go to Mexico, gentlemen, go to Mexico, and you 
 will find the family in all its pure poetry; you will hear 
 the sterling voices of children at play; you will see boys 
 and girls bright with the joy of life; you will see that 
 our spiritual greatness has not changed; you will find 
 strong, gallant men, and wonderful women, in whom 
 you will not know what to admire more their beauty 
 or their splendid strength for patience and sacrifice. 
 
 That is, again, Mexico. 
 
 Let us, then, start a new era of Good Will and Un 
 derstanding. 
 
 Let us look into each other's souls and find out wheth 
 er or not these two great nations are not fighting, each 
 one in its way, for ideals of democracy. Let us go be 
 yond the limits of business, and watch on the higher 
 perspectives of humanity. We have not a common psy 
 chology, but we have a common aspiration which spells 
 liberty. We admire your power to build ; we are amazed 
 at your plants that create fabulous units of energy; we 
 see, astonished, how you can make the forces of Nature 
 obey your command. But we also invite you to study 
 our untiring will to preserve our freedom, despite the 
 conditions that weigh, historically, upon our lives, and 
 we wish you to see how we have paid with blood and 
 treasure, the price of independence. 
 
 Mr. John Bassett Moore, a well-known authority, has 
 just explained an elevated and inspiring view on Pan- 
 Americanism. It goes well hand in hand with President 
 Wilson's recent address to us. 
 
 We promise, you, gentlemen, to work for that mag 
 nificent ideal. 
 
 Continental brotherhood is our dream. Independent 
 States our slogan. The slogan of all men who cannot 
 be slaves. You are proclaiming a fight against autocra 
 cy. We have, long ago, been waging a fight against 
 traditionalism and ignorance. 
 
 You want to be great. We aspire to be happy but 
 we both must know why. 
 
 Let us understand each other. Let us cultivate trust, 
 good faith, candidness and friendship. Not that we 
 should fear your cannon, but. that we should have no ob 
 stacles for knowing your uprightness. 
 
 Happy shall be the day when, above the callings of 
 material gain, the nations of America work together

 Neither hatred, nor arrogance; neither display of 
 superiority, nor apprehension of aggression; neither 
 haughtiness, nor jealously; only confidence, honor, good

Address of 
 Mr. James Carson 
 
 Gentlemen of the Mexican Press and 
 Friends:

 ^^^K Generally the simplest words are the 
 
 ^^^^ most sincere. I believe that I can speak 
 MB to you as friends, since I have lived in 
 your beautiful country for ten years, and 
 have learned to love it, as well as the 
 people who inhabit it. The charming beauty of the red 
 tiled roofs of Cuernavaca, the intoxicating fragrance 
 of the orange laden plaza of Colima, and the tropical 
 splendor of the beautiful avenues of Orizaba, are some 
 of the impressions that I brought out with me from Mex 
 ico, which will remain with me as a pleasant memory 
 for the rest of my existence. These beauties can only 
 properly be told by means of your beautiful language. 
 
 What is there, really, more deliciously musical, more 
 charmingly insinuating and more appealing to the emo 
 tions than that most beautiful of all the languages, 
 Spanish! But if our English language has something of 
 rudeness in it, and lacks the suavity and flexibility of 
 yours, I think you will believe me when I say, that al 
 though the English language is more brusque it is none 
 the less sincere. 
 
 And this difference between the two languages we 
 see equally manifested between the two peoples. You, 
 with your beautiful Castilian tongue, your charming 
 manners and grace of mind, may perhaps sometimes 
 count against us our simplicity of speech and our man 
 ners. But as our language is strong and sincere, so also 
 we wish you to comprehend our appreciation and ad 
 miration of these exquisite qualities in your tongue and 
 in your character. Try, then, to enter into the at times 
 hard exterior and look for the heart of the American. 
 
 To-day we are two peoples in the ranks of democra 
 cy. One of us is fighting to preserve this ideal, which 
 should be as dear to the heart of every Mexican as it is 
 
 15 
 
to every American. I said that I had learned to love 
 your country during a residence of ten years there. My 
 great desire is that in your short stay in my own coun 
 try you will learn to love it as I have loved and do love 
 yours; that you will read aright the hearts of the Amer 
 ican people, and that in the great fight that is going on 
 to make firm the democracy of the free peoples, Mexico 
 will raise her voice as have the United States and other 
 peoples with such aspirations. 
 
 One hundred and thirty years ago we fought for our 
 liberty, and won it. A century ago you fought for yours 
 and obtained it. We had our Washington, you had your 
 Hidalgo, and while we have a memory in our hearts of 
 these great and noble patriots, no evil can menace the 
 liberty of the two peoples. 
 
 Like us, you have had your days of trial and tribula 
 tion, but as we, you also rose from the fight more free, 
 more strong and regenerated and making a grander na 
 tion and a more perfect race. 
 
 It is a fact well known to statesmen who rule the 
 destines of nations and men, that the greatest epochs 
 have always been preceded by others of blood and hard 
 ship and this lesson of history shows us that we as a 
 people are on the eve of a new era whose watchword 
 will be always ' 'Progress/' 
 
 From time immemorial there stands guard over the 
 beautiful valley of Anahuac those two majestic senti 
 nels with vesture of snow, called Popocatepetl and Ix- 
 tlazihuatl, and mutely they have comtemplated a pano 
 rama of changing scenes from the days in which the 
 gold barque of Montezuma floated over the waves of the 
 lakes until to-day. 
 
 In all that long space of time, Mexico has lived; and 
 it would be contrary to reason and justice if this march 
 towards progress, free and untrammelled, should be to 
 day interrupted or held back. No, the sky of Mexico is 
 too blue, the caps of these two mountains too white and 
 pure to admit such a horrible thought. It could be only 
 to the contrary in the single case that the enemies of 
 democracy should conquer. 
 
 In ending, permit me to tell you of a thought which 
 is for me the soul of the business which brings us here 
 to-day, and it is the idea of the brotherhood of man: 
 Washington and Hidalgo gave us political independence; 
 Lincoln and Juarez liberated us from great moral evils; 
 but it is to us Mexicans and Americans, the statesmen of 
 the future, to whom is assigned the task grandest of 
 
 16 
 
all, to all appearance Utopian, of writing in the pages 
 of history the sentence: "My country is the world, men 
 my brothers." Then and only then, shall the dividing 
 lines be really only imaginary, war an evil scarcely re 
 membered, and then will be realized the great dream of 
 Christianity and of all nations: 
 
 4 'Glory to God in the highest and peace on earth to 
 men of good will ! ' ' (Loud Applause. )
