There Is No Short And

There Has Not Been A War In South America For Fifty Years, And I Have Every Confidence That The Countries Of Central And South America Are Deeply In Earnest In The Maintenance Of Peace.

I Share The Opinion Of Those Of Broader Vision, Who See In The Signs Of The Time Hope Of Humanity For Peace.

Each One Of These Treaties Is A Step For The Maintenance Of Peace, An Additional Guarantee Against War. It Is Through Such Machinery That The Disputes Between Nations Will Be Settled And War Prevented.

There Are But Few Naval Powers, But There Are Many Land Powers.

I Further Value This Gift As It Gave Me An Opportunity To Accept This Distinguished Honor In A Country So Devoted To This Cause And Whose History Marks A Wonderful Chapter In World Development.
