ill-feeling."

Solidarity among American states
in the cause of peace constitutes no
threat to other regions or races.

peace is established on this hemi-
sphere, the more closely we live up to
the spirit as well as the letter of our
agreements, the better it will be for
the rest of the world.

Let us present a record which our
hemisphere may give the world as
convincing proof that peace always is
at hand when nations, serene in their
sovereign security, meet their current
problems with understanding and good
will"
