53. On behalf of my Government, I should like to say once again that Chile is especially concerned with maintaining, particularly with the countries of America, the most cordial relations of friendship and cooperation. Our faith in Americanism inspires our whole national life. The principles of international law, respect for treaties and the legal tradition inherent in the inter-American system govern our conduct abroad. Because of the spirit which guides us, any temporary difficulty which may arise between Chile and another American country will never be so great that it cannot be resolved by peaceful means so long as those means are appropriate to the nature of the dispute, that is to say, juridical means for legal disputes and political means for political disputes.
