URUGUAY AND PARAGUAY. 1421 a Not printed. from local newspapers covering the period of his stay in Uruguay— August 10—13, 1906—which it is thought furnishes complete information. It is difficult for me to describe adequately the vast advantages to the humanity of Uruguay to be gained from Secretary Root's visit. I will state, however, that it is the consensus of opinion among those whose first concern is the welfare of the whole country that Secretary Root has, by his declarations before the Pan-American Congress at Rio de Janeiro, given a better direction to the political affairs of South America than any other public man who has addressed himself to pan-American fraternity. A careful perusal of the inclosures herein will show that his declarations have been received and accepted in Uruguay as the fundamental principles only under which pan-American fraternity can be attained. I have no hesitancy in saying that time will fully justify this htgh estimate of the good which will follow Secretary Root's visit to Uruguay. I am, etc., EDwARD C. O'BRIEN.
