 Conference So Long Dcia1I
 Tt is very surprising fo md even q source of mortificafiof1 a conference liko this should been so long delayed. that if never have occurred before. q should have required crisis world to show the Americana truly they were neighbors to o3 other. If there is any one circumstance, gentlemen. aflAia1| of the present distressing cI stances of the world. 1t is that revealed us to one Another. shown us what it means to he bors. And I cannot help harl the hope, the very high hopul by this commerce of minds wif| another, as we'll as commerce ln weN may show the world in pn path to peace.
 "It would be very great thI the Americans could add to thd tinction which they already weal1 of showing the way to peace, to| manent peace. The way to pead us, at any rate, is manifest the kind of rivalry which doej involve aggression. It is the k1 edge that man can be of the Rrd service to one another. and nnfso| he greatest service to one and when the jealously between thr| jealousy of excellence| when the basis Of their intercouf There is only one n which we wish to take advar if you, and that Is by making b ;oods, if we can. than you do q nd so spurring you on. lf we m y so handsome a jealousy as 0 excel us.

 There is one thing that stand UT way among others flor you ,ore convarxaut with tho circ .anccs t1ans aana The thug | hieny in mind is that physical means of communication, the 2 vehicles, the lack of ships, the [ established routes of trade. tho , those things which are ahsDla ecessary if we are to nave true n lercial and intimate relations < ne another; and I am perfectly ~
 my Judgment that if privato < al cannot soon enter upon tho .nture of establishing these phyf| cans of communication, the govs ent must undertake to do SO. lnnot indefinitely stand apart. sed each other for the lack of W n easily be supplied; and if ont cannot supply # ' bother must be found w'aIch pply lt.
