PAN AMERICAN DAY THE ATLANTIC VOICE The President of the United States of America recently issued a proclamation regarding the celebration of the anniversary of Pan American Day, April 14th. Just fifty years will have then possed since the Union was established. The Flag of the United States will, we gather, Se displayed on all Government buildings on that day, and the Churches, Educational Institutions, Civil Associetions and the people in general have been requested to observe the event with commemorative ceremonies.
6th. Pan American Day is the outcome of the resolution adopted on April 14th. 1890 by the First International Conference of the American Nations, which has during its life of half a century consistently fostered the development of mutual comprehension, closer economic relationsChip, cultural advancement and juridicol relations throughout the Western Hemisphere. This year celebrations will, we think, be of greater significance to the twenty one Latin American Countries.
The Europeon turmoil calls for a more comprehensive co operation among the governments and peoples of our Continents, and the Union has much to accomplish to maintain the ideals on which it has been established.
Ideals have, we believe, no segregative tendencies regarding race, creed or colour, only principles for the welfare of humanity generally. There has, however, been a certain amount of partial displays in the carrying out of these ideals Mendicancy has been the ot of certain groups, while many, who have not even contributed in the least to the progress of the Americas, have been kept robustly suplied with the good things of life.
e The year 1890 also reminds us of this province of the completion of the Atlantic Railroad which is an oustand ving credit to the pioneers who were guided by that neverto ve forgotten American. Minor Keith. This was the couse which really brought about Costo Rica coloured population, at a period much in advance of the Banana and Cacao Industries. The man of colour also contributed his labour and talent in the 1880 to the Panama Railroad ofterwards shedding his blood and giving his life for the construction of the great Isthmian Waterway. He has also been one of the principal factors to Cuba most progressive Sugar and other industries. Many others fell victims to the pestilential conditions encountered during the construction of the Quito Railroad.
