President Henry White, of the Pan American Society, former am- 

 bassador to France, was toastmaster. Mayor MitcheI sounded a par- 

 ticularly happy note at the very outset of his address: "The people of 

 the United States covet nothing that the southern Republics have except 

 their friendship and their cooperation. I say we covet nothing. I will 

 qualify this. We covet participation in your development, acquaintance 

 with your achievements, and your contributions to the progress of civili- 

 zation. It is unthinkable that there should be in the Western Hemi- 

 sphere twenty-one Republics experimenting in democracy and that they 

 should not mutally acquaint each other with the success or failure of their 

 endeavors and the reasons why. Nothing is of greater importance to the 

 progress of the world than these efforts in the democracy of the Ameri- 

 can Republics." 



Over the entire banquet hung a spirit of excellent understanding and 

 the promise of a closer friendship in the future between this country and 

 the nations of the south. That was the topic of all the speeches. Presi- 

 dent Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia University, on invitation to 

 address the assembled guests, described eloquently the ideals of democ- 

 racy pursued by the countries of the Western Hemisphere. Dr. Garcia 

 Kohly, of Cuba, also spoke at the banquet as the representative of His 

 Excellency the Cuban Minister, who was unable to be present.
