IN 1927 / delivered an address
4 at OgIethorpe University, at At
lanta, advocating liberal and en-
lightened cooperation between the
United States and the British EN-
pire for world progress.
In this thesis did not advocate
cooperation for war but for peace.
l did not advocate cooperation
for the benefit of one party to
the agreement at the sacrifice Of
the other party, but rather for
the mutual benefit OF each on
equal terms.
did not advocate a temporary
agreement TO operate only for the
period that one nation or the other
might be In need of support or
assistance, but a permanent agree
ment which would function at all
times equilaterally and which
would not only be guaranty OF
reciprocal support but a formal
and fOrcefm notification to all the
nations of the earth that the
English speaking peoples of the
world were united--not for agrees
sion. but TO maintain peace, not
for the invasion of the rights Of
Others, but to protect their own
rights and liberties and their
mutual interests.
still think that If the United
States Is TO have an agreement
with the British Empire II should
be on these just and equal terms
and on these permanent conditions.
IT sI0utu M an agreement to
establish and maintain peace and
not TO prosecute or premote war.

and protect their own liberties,
but not necessarily to impose their
principles and policies or their
political systems or their dominion
upon the other independent ma
tions Of the world.
Moreover. the agreement should
be permanent one and of recip-
rocal value and advantage, and
not come into existence only
temporarily ana spasmodicaily
when the British Empire had en-
