"Since you have the necessary means, why not organize now a ‘Travelling Art Caravan’ showing three manifestations of your artistic genius: music, painting, and architecture, which need no translation in order to be understood. That caravan should visit every capital of the twenty other American Republics. The language of Latin America is decidedly a language of the heart. You will not impress the natives of this Continent with statistics on industrial production and other numerical evidences of your material strength. If you, therefore, esteem our friendship you must appeal to our hearts. A song, a painting, a monument will bring you nearer to us." Dr. Luis Quintanilla, Minister of Plenipotentiary and Counselor of the Mexican Embassy in Washington D.C.
