 Friends of Arizona and Mex ico, it gives me great pleasure to be here today on Mexican soil to greet you. The things we | say and do here will not count for much unless we carry the splendid spirit manifested here today out among our respective people. Too long has there been misunderst tanding between our nations. The great difficulty has l been that we did not know each other. The seed of friendship and concord, so splendidly sown at NoRales two years ago, has born fruit at the point where it was planted and is spreading it's branches over our respective countries. believe I speak the mind of my people when I say pecting a new day in Mexico.
 It was my privilege recently to cross the United States to at tend political convention of one of the great political parties and l can truthfully say that the eyes of all assent bled there were on the activities of your nation. l believe firmly that there has finally arisen among you a man of the people who will bring your nation to the destiny in store for it. I believe that this man has head on his should CTS, a heart in his body and the backbone to back them up. These are the necessary elements for proper leadership. The man at my right possesses the neces- sary elements to make Mexico what it should be-Gen. Obre- gon.
 If I did not believe this, would not be here today. It is not my purpose to make an ex- tended address, but my accept ance of this invitation shows my great interest in this movement and my desire to see Mexico made grand country in which to live.
 II want to say to you that we in the United States do not covet single thing which Mexico has. We desire to extend to- you the strong hand of a big brother, to help you industrially, to see your nation enjoy peace and prosperity. I believe that you have started on the right road and that you want to accept the fullness of this friendship. I want to see the same friendship between the United States and Mexico as is typified at this ban quet table today. The destiny of this nation is in the hands of the people of Mexico.
 My suggestion and advice to you is that you put your faith in this strong man, make him the leader of your nation and then grow into the splendid country which your undeveloped resour- ces make possible.
 want you to know that SO far as lies within my official power, will extend to you the hand of fellowship and aid in the future as I have in the past"
