Cornerstone Laying For International Union of American Republics
In Washington on May 11 a ceremony under patronage and fair spring weather marked the laying of the cornerstone for the home of the International Union of American Republics. About three thousand spectators, including Washington officials and social leaders, attended as flags of twenty one republics flew and country coats of arms adorned the stands. The ceremony featured nesting flags, marine bugle service, and remarks by President, Secretary Root, Andrew Carnegie, and Ambassador Nabuco with congratulatory messages from Latin American heads of state. Cardinal Gibbons gave the invocation and Bishop Cranston delivered the benediction.
