Journalists

Three hundred Latin American editors and publishers, representing all of the 20 Latin American republics, filed into the gallery of the House of Representatives last week, sat down, beamed.

An address of welcome was delivered in their honor by Representative Harry M. Wurzbach (Texas) in Spanish -- an event said to be unprecedented in the history of the House. The Senate extended a similar welcome. At the beautiful Pan American Building, Washington, the distinguished visitors were addressed by Secretary Kellogg, Secretary Hoover and the President.

All stressed the immense importance of so great an opportunity for furthering Pan American good will as was offered by this first Pan American Congress of Journalists.
