"It is a great and happy privilege
to bid the delegates to this confer

is not only a satisfaction to greet
you because we were lately partici-
pants in a common cause, in which
shared sacrifices and sorrows and trf-
umphs brought our nations more
closely together. but it is gratifying
to address you as the spokesmen for
nations whose convictions and at
tending actions have so much to do
with the veal or woe of all mankind.
1T is not possible to over-praise
the importance of such conference.
it is no unseemly boast, no dispar-
agement of other nations, which,
though not represented, are held in
highest respect. to declare that the
conclusions of this body will have a
signal influence on all human prog
ress-on the fortunes of the world.

Nor is il council of nations seek

rather a coming together from all
parts of the earth, to app,y the better
attributes of mankind to minimize the
faults in our international relation

humanity crying for relief and crav-

1T is easy to Tncerstand this
worldwide aspiration. The glory OF
triumph, the rejoicing in achieve

the burden of debt, the desoluation OF

all lands. Here in the United States
