Pays Tribute to BRAND.
am glad of this opportunity to pay
merited tribute to the two statesmen
whose names the world has properly
adopted in its designation of this treaty
To Aristide BRAND. minister of foreign
affairs of France, we owe the inception
of the treaty and to his zeal is due a
very large share of the success which
attended the subsequent negotiations.
To Frank B. Kellogg, then Secretary of
State of the United States, we owe its
expansion to the proportions of a treaty
open to the entire world and destined,
as 1 most confidently hope, shortly to
include among its parties every country
of the world
Mr.. Stimson has sent forward today
a message of felicitation TO M. BRAND
and to the people of France. for whom
he speaks. 1 am happy, Mr.. Kellogg,
to extend to you, who represented the
people of the United States with such
untiring devotion and with such high
degree of diplomatic skill in the nego-
tiations of this treaty, their everlasting
gratitude.
Nations Are Thanked.
We are honored here by the presence
of President Coolidge. under whose ad
ministration this great step in world
peace was initiated. Under his au-
thority and with his courageous sup
port You, Mr.. Kellogg, succeeded in this
great service. And 1 wish to mark also
the high appreciation in which we hold
Senators Borah and Swanson for their
leadership during its confirmation In
the Senate.
Nav / ask YOU who represent govern
ments which have accepted this treaty
now a part of their supreme law and
their most sacred obligations, to con-
vey to them the high appreciation Of
the Government OF the United States
that through their cordial collaboration
piness of mankind has now been con-
summated. 1 dare predict that the in
fuence of the treaty for the renuncia-
ton of war will be felt in a large pro-
portion of all future international acts.
The magnificent opportunity and the
compelling duty now open to us should
spur us on to the fulfillment Of every
opportunity that is calculated 10 i'm
plement this treaty and to extend the
policy which it so nobly sets forth.
