Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commission Under the Convention Between the United States Paraguay The United States and Paraguay Navigation Company, in presenting their claim against Paraguay Before this commission, will first call the attention of your Honors to the inducements to their enterprise; then to the amount of their investments, and to the value of the rights acquired thereby. For, the liability being determined, the amount and value of the property and claim is the subject of inquiry before this tribunal. They were induced to commence their efforts by their knowledge of the vast and undeveloped resources of Paraguay and of the neighboring provinces of Brazil and Bolivia, watered by the confluents of the La Platte, and with which, in addition to the published sources of information, they had become acquainted through the travels in Central and South America, of their President, Governor Arnold, of Rhode Island, and the residence in Paraguay for nine years of their agent, Mr. Hopkins, who had, during that period, sustained the most friendly relations with President Lopez, and had become well acquainted with the country.
