The President of the Argentine Republic to President Taft.

[Telegram.—Translation.]

In the name of the Argentine Government and people and in my own I express thanks for the cordial congratulations sent to us on the occasion of the centennial anniversary of our independence by the great Republic of the north whose wise institutions have been an inspiration and example for the organization and progress of this people. I express hopes for the increased greatness of our sister Nation and present to Your Excellency the assurances of my high and distinguished consideration.

J. Figueroa Alcorta.
