icas know that warfare in this
day and age means more than the
mere clash Of armies: they see the
destruction OF cities and of farms

under the burden Of poverty. but

am profoundly convinced that
the plain people everywhere in the
civilized world today wish to live
in peace one with another. And
still leaders and governments re-
sort to war. Truly, II the genius
Of mankind that has invented the
weapons Of death cannot discover
the means Of preserving peace, civ
ili2ation rs We know 1t lives in an
evil day.
But we cannot now. especially in
view Of our common purpose, &C.
cept any defeatist attitude. We
have learned by hard experience
that peace Is not to be had for the
mere asking; that peace. like other
great privileges. can be obtained
only by hard and painstaking ef.
fort. We are here to dedicate our
selves and our countries to that
work.
You who assemble today carry
with you in your deliberations the
hopes of millions Of human beings
in other less fortunate lands. Be-
yond the ocean We see continents
rent asunder by old hatreds and
new fanaticism. We hear the de.
mand that injustice and inequality
be corrected by resorting to the
sword and not by resortins to
reason and peaceful justice. We
hear the cry that new markets can
be achieved only through con.
quest. We read that the sanctity
Of treaties between nations is dis
regarded.
We know, too, that vast arma.
ments are rising on every side and
that the work Of creating them
employs men and women by the
millions. 1t is natural, however.
for us to conclude that such em-
ployment Is false employment. that
it builds no permanent structures
and creates no consumers goods
for the maintenance of . lasting
prosperity. We know that nations
guilty Of these follies inevitably
face the day either when their
weapons Of destruction must be
used against their neighbors or
when an unsound economy like .
house of cards will fall apart.

The text of President Roosevelt
speech to the Inter-American Peac
yesterday follows:
Members of the American family
Of nations:
On the happy occasion OF the
convening Of this conference I
address you thus, because mem
bers of q family need no introduce
ton or formalities when, in pur-
suance of excellent custom, they
meet together for their common
good.
As q family We appreciate the
hospitality Of our host, President
Justo, and the government and
people Of Argentina, and all Of US
are happy that to our friend DR..
Saavedra Lamas has come the
well-deserved award Of the Nobel
Prize for great service in the
cause of world peace.
Three years ago the American
family met in nearby Montevideo.
the great capital of the Republic
of Uruguay. They were dark days.
A shattering depression, un-
paralleled in its intensity, held us
together with the rest Of the world
IN its grasp. And on our own
continent q tragic war was raging
between two Of our sister republics.
Yet, at that conference there was
born, not only hope for our COM
mon future, but greater measure
of mutual trust between the Ameri-
can democracies than had ever
existed before. In this Western
Hemisphere the night Of fear has
been dispelled. Many Of the in
tolerable burdens Of economic de-
preston have been ughtened and,
due In no small part to our COM
mon efforts, every nation Of this
hemisphere is today at peace with
its neighbors.
This is no conference to form
alliances, to divide the spoils Of
war. to partition countries, to deal
with human beings Is though they
were the pawns in . game Of
chance. Our purpose. under happy
auspices, is to assure the con-
tinuance of the blessing Of peace.

While the succeeding period has
justified in full measure all that
was said and done at Montevideo,
it has unfortunately emphasized
the seriousness of the threat to

elsewhere have served only to
strengthen our horror of war and

ways. And the economic collapse
Of any nation or nations must Of
necessity harm our own prosperity.
Can we, the republics Of the New
World, help the Old World to avert
the catastrophe which impends7
Yes, I am confident that we can.
First, it is our duty by every
honorable means to prevent any
future war among ourselves. This
can best be done through the
strengthening Of the processes Of
constitutional democratic govern
ment-to make these processes
conform to the modern need for
unity and efficiency and, at the
same time, preserve the individual
liberties Of our citizens. BY 50
doing. the people Of our nations,
unlike the people of many nations
who live under other forms Of gov.
ernment, can and will insist on
their intention to live In peace.
Thus will democratic government
be justified throughout the world.
In the determination to live at
peace among ourselves We in the
Americas make 1t at the same time
clear that we stand shoulder to
shoulder in our final determination
that others who, driven by war
madness or land hunger might
seek to commit acts of aggression
against us, will find q hemisphere
wholly prepared to consult to-
gether for our mutual safety and
our mutual good. repeat what I
said in speaking before the Con-
gress and the Supreme Court Of
Brazil, Each one Of US has learned
the glories of independence. Let
each one Of US learn the glories Of
interdependence."
Secondly, and in addition to the
perfecting Of the mechanism Of
peace, we can strive even more
strongly than in the past to pre-
vent the creation Of those condi.
tions which give rise to war. Lack
Of social or political justice within
the borders of any nation Is al.
ways cause for concern. Through
democratic processes we can strive
to achieve for the Americas the
highest possible standard Of living
conditions for all our people. Men
and women blessed with political
freedom, willing to work and able
to find work, rich enough to main
tain their families and to educate
their children. contented with their
lot in life and on terms Of friend.

most of us to run counter to our
ideals of human liberty and human

Finally, in expressing our faith
of the Western World. let us af-
firm:
That we maintain and defend
the democratic form Of constitu-
tional government.
That through such government
We can more greatly provide a
wider distribution of culture, Of
education. Of Thought and of free
expression.
That through it we can obtain
. greater security of life for our
citizens and q more equal oppor-
tunity for them to prosper.
That through it we can best
foster commerce and the exchange

tions: that through it we can
avoid the rivalry Of armament,
avert hatred and encourage good
will and true justice.
That through it we offer hope
for peace and a more abundant
life to the peoples Of the whole
world.
But this faith Of the Western
World will not be complete If we
fail to affirm our faith in God. In
the whole history of mankind. far
back into the dim past before man
knew how to record thoughts or
events, the human race has been
distinguished from other forms of
life by the existence-the fact
Of religion. Periodic attempts to
deny God have always come and
