have inaugurated that movement under
most auspicious circumstances. never
shall forget that we have inaugurated it
in the presence of Russia, the friend of

presence OF France-France, always our
friend [applause ], and in the presence of
Mexico. our sister close at hand lap

We cannot take it in now. We cannot
grasp it all now; but let us hope, and
