What We Will See
Two Argentineans, Messrs. Bradley and Zuloaga, have made this crossing.
I have always been a supporter of the approximation of Brazil and Argentina and, sure of interpreting the feelings of my countrymen, I greeted them on behalf of the Brazilians, on the occasion of their arrival in Buenos Aires, coming from Chile by air.
From this speech I transcribe here some phrases in honor of this bold undertaking of these two sons of our friendly people:
Bradley, Zuloaga:
I greet you:
To you, who yesterday were greeted by condors, my greeting is insignificant.

Today, when we cross the seas, we think of Columbus.... Tomorrow, the navigators of air, when crossing the Andes, will remember the names of San Martin, Bradley and Zuloaga and will say: "Here, twice, the Argentines were the first to pass through".

In his "Legend of the Centuries" Victor Hugo says:
"Car, devant un héros, la mort est la moins forte."
