Congratulations on the coming of peace to the United States were officially conveyed by the Juarez Chamber of Commerce to the El Paso Chamber of Commerce in a communication signed by Ambrosio Escudero, president, and Rafael Lozano Saldana secretary, yesterday. The letter is as follows:
“Taking in consideration that the end of hostilities between Germany and her allies, and the United States of America and the co-belligerents on the other side, marks a new era I the international relations of all the world’s peoples upon the basis of equality and fraternity. In this great contest Mexico could stand neutral, but could not appear indifferent, because as a people young and a lover of liberty, was desirous of expecting the triumph of democratic ideals. Between the United States and the Mexican United States every day the reciprocal interests are greater and the commercial amity has to be more effective that their frontier does not divide, but is a limit on which the aspirations of the two nations are joined with high ideals and similar tendencies in favor of humanity, and that particularly the relations between Juarez and El Paso must be joined like two water cities animated by mutual sentiments of friendship and progress.
“It is resolved by the Juarez Chamber of Commerce, that greetings be sent to the El Paso Chamber of Commerce on this day of peace and glory, and that we have the honor to communicate to you the most enthusiastic congratulations."
This message was forwarded to the El Paso Chamber of Commerce by Angel Martinez and Raymundo Garcia, fraternal delegates from the Juarez commerce organization to the El Paso Chamber of Commerce.
