Keynote Of Cooperation.
Dr.. v. X. Wellington Koo Of China:
We Of the Chinese delegation came
to San Francisco to cooperate and
we have been glad to find co-opera-
ton the happy keynote of the whole
conference. We are confident that,
with faith in the future and with
the same spirit of cooperation as
has guided US in our deliberations
here in the Golden City, lasting
peace and continued prosperity will
be within the gift of the new organ.
ization to the whole world.
Field Marshal Jan Christian
Smuts Of South Africa:
Great as our achievement is, feel
that more is needed than a machine
of peace. Unless the spirit to oper-
ate it is there, the best plan or ma
chine may fail. The human factor
must play its part.
For this total mobilization Of the
human spirit for peace we must look
to all who labor in the wider sphere
OF our human advance-to the press,
the church, the schools and univer-
sites, and to all intellectual forces,
all the vast network OF social and
moral agencies, which are the sup
port of our civilization. The great
imponderables must also be enlisted
for peace.
Faith In Common Destiny.
Ambassador Ezequiel Padilla Of
Mexico:
The small nations must not forget
that they are not too small to dream

from the great powers meet and sup

tainly not the case
May in conclusion utter humble
wcrd Of warning? Let us please stop
talking OF the next world war. The
language one hears in certain places
is lamentably unconstructive, 1t
arouses suspicious at moment
when mutual confidence is all i'm
portant.
Hemisphere Solidarity Hailed.
Pedro Leao Velloso of Brazil:
AS a citizen of nation Of the
American continent, I cannot end
this brief address without mention
ing the role all these nations have
played in San Francisco. The Amer
icas do not constitute bloc. The
Americas are much more than that:
they constitute way of life, a sys-
tenn with traditions and ideals pc
Iculiar to them, traditions going back
more than 60 years. ideals of noble
and rare degree. We are all firmly
convinced that our r-American
system will be stimulus to the
wishes for peace of the rest Of the
world.
His Royal Highness Faisal Ibn
| Abdul AziZ of Saudi Arabia:
This charter does not represent
perfection as visualized by the small
states. Nevertheless, it Is doubtless
the best ever produced by people rep
resenting so states, many of which
have suffered much in their struggle
for liberty, the defense of humanity
and its liberation from slavery which
only God knows how long would
have lasted or when we would have
been saved from Its tragedies and
calamities, had injustice prevailed.
