add Fellow Citizens: You have made
me feel in n way that IL deepIy de-
lightful the generous welcome which
you have accorded me, and back Of II
l know there lies the same sort Of feel
Ing for the great people whom have
the privilege of representing.
There Is n feeling Of cordially, fra
ternity and friendship between the two
great nations, and as have gone from
place to place and been made every
where to feel the pulse OF sympathy
that Is now beating between us

Patriotism In not a mere sentiment
II is based upon a principle, upon the
principle that leads a man to give more
than he demands. Similarly, friendship
ia based not merely upon affection but
upon common service The man Is not
your friend who In not willing to serve
yoil. and Won are not HIS friend unless
YOU are willing to serve him. And out
of that impulse of common interest
and desire OF common service arises
that noble feeling which we consecrate
as friendship.
And so II does seem 10 me that tne
now in this great day Of settlement is
the theme Of common interest and the
determination of what II Is that ls our
common interest. You know that here
tofore the world has been governed,
or, at any rate, the attempt has been
made TO govern It by partnerships or
interest, and that they have broken
down.

settlement which Is just ahead OF us
something more delicate and difficult
than was ever attempted before mas 10
be ancomplished--a genuine concert OF
mind and OF purpose. But while II is an
hcult there Is an element present that
makes Il easy. Never before IN the
history OF the world. | belleNe' mas
there been such a keen internauonai
consciousness as there is now.
There is n great voice OF humanity
abroad in the world just now which
a great compubion OF the common
anv statesman reslsts, will gain for
MIN the most unenviahle emInence IN
his,orv We are not obeying the man
date OF parties or Of politics. We are
chewing the mandate OF humanity.
Mu,t Provide for ReadJustment.
That is tho reason why II seems TO
me that the things that are most otten
in our minds are the least sIgnincaht.
] am not hopeful that the indiNiduaI
items OF the settlement which we are
about 10 attempt Will be altogether
satisfactory. ono has only 10 apply
his mind TO any one or the questions OF
boundary and OF altered sovereignty
- and OF racial aspirations TO DO some
thing more than conjecture that tnere
