Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Central American Peace Conference, Held at Washington, 1907 The rules provided that the public should not be admitted to the sessions of the Conferences. The strained relations that had for many months existed between several of the Republics made the question of rules one of considerable delicacy, but the good spirit manifested by all the delegates, both at that time and throughout the Conference, overcame these difficulties, and as the Conference proceeded practically made rules almost unnecessary. The minutes of the preliminary meetings of the delegates will be found herewith as Inclosure 3. The inaugural session of the Conference was a public one, and was held at 2.30 p. m. on Thursday, November 14, in the conference rooms at the Bureau of American Republics. There were present, in addition to the delegates, their secretaries; the representative of Mexico and the representative of the United States; the Secretary of State, Hon. Elihu Root; the Assistant Secretary of State, Hon. Robert Bacon; the Third Assistant Secretary of State, Mr. Huntington Wilson; the secretary of the Mexican embassy, Senor Jose F. Godoy; the officials of the Bureau of American Republics, and the personnel of the Central American legations. The Conference was called to order by the Secretary of State, Hon. Elihu Root, who in an address to the delegates urged them to bring about lasting and durable peace between their several countries, and to make such sure provision for this for the future that a return of the unfortunate conditions that had existed between and among them would be impossible. The Secretary´s remarks created an excellent impression among the delegates and were many times thereafter recalled and quoted by them in the discussions that took place. The Secretary of State was followed by his excellency, the Mexican ambassador, who in an eloquent address assured the delegates of the cordial and deep interest felt by the Mexican Government in the work before the Conference. The credentials of the delegates were then examined by a special committee, after which the Conference proceeded to elect His Excellency Señor Dr. Don Luis Anderson, of Costa Rica, president of the Conference, and Señor Dr. Don Jose Madriz, of Nicaragua, and Señor Dr. Don Salvador Rodriguez, of San Salvador, secretaries of the Conference. The Conference then unanimously elected honorary presidents of the Conference their Excellencies Hon. Elihu Root, Secretary of State of the United States, and Licenciado Don Ignacio Mariscal, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Mexico. The minutes of the inaugural session, together with a copy of the address delivered at the time by the Secretary of State, the Mexican ambassador, and by Mr. Anderson, will be found herewith as Inclosure 4. The first regular session of the Conference was held on the following day - Friday, November 15 - and with the exception of an adjournment taken on Thanksgiving Day as a mark of courtesy to the United States, informal or formal sessions were daily held thereafter.
