Book excerpt: Excerpt from Message From the President of the United States: Transmitting a Report by the Secretary of State, With Accompanying Papers, Relative to the Proceedings of the First Customs Congress of the American Republics, Held at New York in January, 1903 Sir: The undersigned, delegates of the United States of America to the First Customs Congress of the American Republics, have the. honor to submit the following report, with a copy of the resolutions and minutes of the congress and accompanying papers: The Second International Conference of American States, held in the City of Mexico, by a resolution signed on January 22, 1902, provided for a customs congress, to be composed of one or more delegates appointed by each government, to meet in the city of New York within one year from the date of the closing of the sessions of the international conference in Mexico. That resolution defined the general scope and outlined the more important details of the work to be considered by the proposed customs congress. The international conference at Mexico, by a resolution signed January 29, 1902, also directed the proposed customs congress to investigate certain measures to facilitate international commerce which were set forth in the resolution. These resolutions were printed in full in Senate Document No. 330, Fifty-seventh Congress, first session, and accompanied your instructions to the delegates of the United States of America. The governing board of the International Bureau of the American Republics fixed January 15,1903, as the date for the preliminary assembling of the congress at New York, and January 17, 1903, as the date for the inaugural session. The First Customs Congress of the American Republics was composed of 29 delegates, representing 13 nations. In the number, official rank, and high abilities, combined, of the delegates the congress was the most representative assemblage from the American Republics which had been held in the United States since the meeting of the first Pan-American conference at Washington in 1889. Ecuador, El Salvador, and Nicaragua were represented by their ministers plenipotentiary, Senor Don Alfredo Baquerizo, Senor Don Rafael S. Lopez, and Senor Don Luis F. Corea. Bolivia, Uruguay, and Venezuela were represented by their charges d'affaires, Senor Don J orge E. Zalles, Senor Dr. Don Luis Alberto de Herrera, and Senor Don Augusto F. Pulido. Mexico was represented by Senor Don Javier Arrangoiz, director-general of customs, and Senor Don Pedro M. del Paso, inspector-general of customs. The Argentine Republic, Guatemala, and Honduras were represented by their consuls-general at New York, Senor Dr. Don R. Alvarez de Toledo, Senor Don Julio J. Yela, and Gen. Nica-nor Bolet-Peraza, who was a delegate to the first Pan-American conference. Cuba was represented by Senor Don Fidel G. Pierra, member of the board of the University of Habana.
