Congratulates Assembly
IT congratulate this c5-embly, the
| states it represents, and indeed, the
entire world upon the coming into
force of this additional instrument
Of humane endeavor to do away
with war as an instrument OF ma
tional policy and to obtain by
pacific means alone the settlement
Of information disputes.
ST am glad of this opportunity to
pay merited tribute to the two
statesmen whose names the world
has properly adopted IL its C.esigna-
ton Of this treaty. To Ar!stide
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 ne
gotiations. To Frank 2. Kellogg,
the~ secretary of state Of the Unit
ed States, we owe its expansion to
the proportion 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 to-
day a message Of felicitation to MIR.
BRAND and to the people of France
for whom he S. caks. I am happy,
Mr.. Kellogg, to 5tend to you, who
represented the people Of the Unit
ed States with such untiring devo-
ton and with such a high degree
Of diplomatic skill in the negotia-
tions of this treat, their everlast-
ing gratitude.
I'VE are honored here by the
| presence of President Coolidge I'M
der whose administration this great
[ step in world reace vas initiated.
! Under his authority and with his
courageous support, you, Mr.. KEEL
logg, succeeded in tbs great service.
And I wish to mark also the high
| yNOrnointinY ~ uyhinh wa hnfI Cow
ators Borah and Swanson for their
leadership during its confirmation
in the senate.
Influence to Be Felt
"May'I ask you who represent
governments which have accepted
this treaty, now a part of their su-
preme law and their most sacred
obligations, to convey to them the
high appreciation of the govern
ment of the United States that
throughout their cordial collabora-
ton an act so suspicious for the
future happiness Of mankind has
now been consummated. I dare
| predict that the influence of the
treaty for the remuneration Of war
will be felt in a large proportion OF
all future international acts. The
magnificent opportunity and the
compelling duty now open to us
should spur us on to ne fulfillment
of every opportunity that Is cal
| culated to implement this treaty
and to extend the policy which it
SO nobly sets forth.
Il have today proclaimed the
treaty to the American people in
language as follows:

Of disputes among ~arties shall
never be sought except by pacific
