 The text of the address:
 "I rejoice in this opportunity to participate in the celebration ot American Day" and to extend on behalf of the people of the United States a fraternal greeting to our sister American republics The celebration of "Pan-Americar Day" in this building. dedicated tc | international goodwill and coopera. ton, exemplifies a unity of thought and purpose among the peoples o1 this hemisphere. It is a manifesto. ton of the common ideal of mutua helpfulness, sympathetic under. standing and spiritual solidarity. There is inspiration in the thought that on this day the at. tention of the citizens of the ltwenty-one republics of America is focused on the common ties. - historical, cultural, economic and social,-which bind them to one another. Common ideals and a community of interest, together | with a spirit of cooperation, have led to the realization that the well. being of one nation depends ir large measure upon the well-being of its neighbors. It is upon these foundations that Pan Americanism has been built.
 This celebration commemorate a movement based upon the policy of fraternal cooperation. In my | inaugural address I stated that 1 would dedicate this nation to the policy of the good neighbor-the neighbor who resolutely respects himself, and because he does so. respects the rights of others - the neighbor who respects the sanc- tity of his agreements in and with a world of neighbors. Never be- fore has tho significance of the word "good neighbor" been 50 manifest in international relations. Never have the need and benefit of neighborly cooperation in every form of human activity been so evident as they are today.
 Friendship among nations, as among individuals, calls for con- structive efforts to muster the forces of humanity in order that an atmosphere of close understand ing and cooperation may be cul- tivated. It involves mutual obli- gations and responsibilities, for it is only by sympathetic respect for the rights of others and a scrupu- lous fulfillment of the correspond ing obligations by each member of the community that a true frater- nifty can be maintained.
 "The essential qualities of true Pan Americanism must be the same as those which constitute a good neighbor, namely, mutual understanding, and, through such understanding, sympathetic ap- preciation of the others point oi { view. It is only in this manner that we can hope to build up g system of which confidence friendship and goodwill are the cornerstones.
 'In this spirit the people O. every republic on our continent ar' coming to a deep understanding O. the fact that the Monroe doctrine l of ,.hinh so much has heen writ
