It Is Not To Be Expected That

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 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.

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

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.

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