4^ REPORT OP THE SECRETARY GENERAI<. 



delegates, it is hoped that this fact will not deprive the Government of 

 the valuable services of yourself and the other gentlemen addressed. 



This great congress, although scientific in name, comprehends many of 

 the principal branches of human activity, including such interesting 

 topics as commerce, finance, transportation, public health and sanitation, 

 mining and metallurgy, international law, engineering, education, con- 

 servation, etc., and indications now point to a greater attendance of 

 representative Latin Americans than have ever before participated in 

 a Pan American gathering.

Robert Lansing.
