WASHINGTON, TEXT OF COOLIDGE'S MESSAGE AT PAN-AMERICAN CONFERENCE (Continued_from First Page.) they were compelled to fight for fit. They have always been a_ brave, reso- lute and determined people, willing to make any sacrifices to defend what they believed to be their rights. But when once their rights have been se- cured, they have been almost equally solicitous to respect the rights of others. Their chief efforts have been devoted to the arts of peace. They have never come under the delusion of military grandeur. Nowhere among these re- publics have great military establish- ments ever been maintained for the purpose of overawing or subjugating other nations. We have all nourished a commendable sentiment of moderate preparation for natfonal defense, be- lieving that for a nation to be un- reasonably neglectful of the military art, even if it did not invite and cause such aggression as to result either in war or in abject humiliation, it must finally lead to a disastrous disintegra- tion of the very moral fiber of the na- tion. But it is one thing to be pre- pared to defend our rights as a last ex- tremity and quite another to rely on force where reason ought to prevail The form of our governments guaran- tees us against the Old World dynastic wars. It is scarcely too much to say that the conflicts which have been waged by our republics for 150 ye have been almost entirely for the pose of securing independence and ex- tending the domain of human freedom. When these have been accomplished, we have not failed to heed the admo- nition to beat our swords into plow= shares. Democracies Peace-Loving. : We have kept the peace so largely among our republics because democra- cles are peace-loving. They are found- ed on the desire to promote the gen- eral welfare of the people, which is sel- dom accomplished by warfare. In ad- dition to this we have adopted a spirit of accommodation, good will, confidence and mutual helpfulness. We have been slow to anger and plenteous in mercy. When this attitude prevails, it is not difficult to find practical means of ad- justing differences. ‘The statesmanship of the southern American republics has shown a peculiar skill and aptitude in this field. It began with mutual con- sultation. The first Pan-American Con- gress assembled at Panama City about 100 years ago. The purpose of that gathering has never been forgotten and | it may be said to have marked the be- sianing of a permanent institution. The republics south of the Rio Grande have produced a most impressive record of a resort to mediation, arbitration and other peaceful methods of the adjust- ment and adjudication of their inter- national differences. A study of their treaties will disclose some of the finest examples of mutual covenants for the limitation of armaments and the avoid- ance of hostile conflict. In the dis- covery of the true principles of inter- | national relations and in the practical ability of putting them into effect they have demonstrated a moral power and strength of character for which the whole world should be profoundly | grateful. The Pan-American Conferences meet for the purpose of maintaining and ex- tending these important principles. It is impossible to conceive of a more in- spiring motive which men could en- tertain in dealing with the affairs of the world. You have convened to take counsel together for increasing the do- mestic welfare of the free people of our independent republics and promoting international peace. No other part of the world could provide constituencies in which all have such a unity of pur- se. ‘The whole atmosphere of the conference is animated with the spirit of democracy and good will. This is the fundamental concept of your or- ganization. All nations here repre- sented stand on an exact footing of equality. The smallest and the weak- est speaks here with the same authority as the largest and the most powerful. You come together under the present -aBd the Tuture expectation of profound peace. You are continuing to strike a new note in international gatherings by maintaining a forum in which not the selfish interests of a few, but the general welfare of all, will be considered. Must Know Weaknesses. If you are to approximate your past successes, it will be because you do not hesitate to meet facts squarely. We must consider not only our strength but our weaknesses. We must give thought not only to our excellences but to our defects. The attitude of the open mind must prevail. Most of all, you must be guided by patience, toler- ance and charity, judging your sister nations not only by their accomplish- ments, but also by their aspirations, A Divine Providence has made us a nelghborhood of republics.

The existence of this conference, held for the consideration of measures of purely Amegican concern, involves no antagonism toward any other sec- tion of the world or any other organiza- ton. It means that the independent republics of the western hemisphere, animated by the same ideals, enjoying the common blessings of freedom and peace, realize that there are many mat- ters of mutual Interest and importance which can best be Investigated and re- solved through the medium of such friendly contract and negotlation as is necessary for co-operative action, We realize that one of the most important services which we can render to hu- manity, the one for which we a pecullarly responsible, 13 to_m: It is not necessary to have had an Ac- count at this Bank to Borrow, THE MORRI & PLAN - iasy to Pay Moothly Deposit For 11 Loan $120 $180 $240 $300 $360 $540 $1,200 $100.00 $6,000 $500.00 I'HE MORRIS PLAN BANK Under Bupervision U, 8, Treasury 1408 M BTREET, N, the ideals of our Western World.

We must join together in assuring conditions under which our republics will have the frecdom and the responsibility of working out their own destiny in their own way. Conferences Successful. The proceedings of the successive Pan-American Conferences reveal a record of achievement which, without attempting the spectacular, constantly builds on the solid foundation of the immediately attainable. With each succeeding conference the agreements for the orderly settlement of such differences as may arise between the American republics have been extended and strengthened, thus making their relationship more certain and more secure. Each conference has contrib- uted its share toward developing more intimate cultural ties among the na- tions of this hemisphere, and establish- ing new currents of mutual under- standing. Obstacles to closer economic relations have been removed, thus clear- ing the pathways of commercial inter- course. Of scarcely less importance have been the many special conferences which from time to time have assembled for the purpose of dealing with the more technical questions in the rela- tions between the republics of America. The meetings -of the International Commission of Jurists, the Pan-Ameri- can Highway Conferences, the Child Welfare Conferences, the Sanitary Conferences, the Conference on Con- sular Procedure, the Scientific Con- gresses, the Financial Conferences, the Red Cross Conferences, and the highly important and signficant Congress of Journalists have all served to strength- en that spirit of pan-American solidar- ity which, in the last analysis, repre- sents one of the greatest achievements of our American civilization and one which, in the future, is destined to play so important a part in the ful- fillment of the high mission intrusted to_the republics of this hemisphere. It has been most gratifying to wit- ness the increasing interchange of uni- versity professors and the constantly growing stream of student migration from one country to another. No other influence can be more potent and effec- tive in promoting mutual comprehen- sion of national aims and ideals. It is sincerely to be hoped that this cultural interchange will with each year assume larger proportions. It is not desirable that we should attempt to be all alike. Progress is not sccured through uniformity and sim- ilarity, but rather through multiplicity and diversity. We should all be intent on maintaining our own institutions and customs, preserving the purity of our own language and literature, foster- ing the ideals of our own culture and soclety. In a territory reaching from the north temperate zone through the tropics to the South Pole, there is room enough for every worthy activity which is profitable and every ideal which s good. Our geographical loca- tion, as well as our political ideals, has endowed us with & self-contained unity and independence. Instead of con- sidering our variations as an obstacle, we ought to realize that they are a | contribution to harmonious political and economic relations. Press Must Play Part. In this great work of furthering inter-American understanding a large | responsibility rests upon the press of |all countries. In our present stage of | eivilization, knowledge of foreign people {is almost wholly supplied from that | source. By misinterpreting facts, or by | carelessness in presenting them in their | true light, much damage can be done. | While great progress has been made toward the publication of fuller infor- mation and unbiased views, a better exchange of news service would do much to promote mutual knowledge and understanding. What hnypem in this hemisphere is of more vital interest to all of us than what happens across any of the oceans. An increase of information depends largely on an increase in the means of communication. During the entire nineteenth century intercourse between the American republics was exceedingly difficult, and this isolation proved a serious obstacle to closer understanding. The twentieth century, however, and especially the last ten years have wit- nessed astonishing changes in this re- spect. Transportation h{ water has become rapid, comfortable and rela- tively inexpensive. Shipping faciliti from the United States have been large ly improved. Our Government is greatly interested in increasing their efficlency. Rallway lines have been extended so chat it will soon be possible to travel with practically no lnlerrug‘l,lun from the northern border of the United States to the southern border of El Salvador, and in South America from | Pery to Patagonia. During very recent years every government of this hemi- sphere has been giving special attention | to the bullding of highways, partly with & view to establishing feeders to the rallway lines, but also to provide great arteries of inter-American communica- tion for motor transport. On the wall of my office hangs & map showing pro- posed highways connectl the princl- pal points of our two continents. I am asking the United States Con- gress to authorize sending engineering advisers, the same as we send military and naval advisers, when requested by other countries, to assist in road bulld- ing. These gratifying changes are about to be supplemented by the blish- ment of aviation routes, primarily for the transportation of malls, which will afford to our republics a channel of interchange which will find its ultimate expression In closer cultural and com- mercial ties and in better mutual com- prehension.

Citizens of the li‘n"ed States are considering installing them, Chance for Private Interests, Private organizations of a civic, cul- tural and educational character also have a great opportunity to help in the development of a closer understanding amongst the nations of America. The fine co-operation of the Red Cress cleties of the American contin an outstanding instance of the fleld for service open to the civic nn:} rlhllnmhmple organizations of this iemisphere. In the domain of commercial rela- tions, the last few years have witnessed an_extraordinary strengthening of the economic tles binding together our re- publics, In both agricultural and in- dustrial production the countries of America are now complementing one another to an unusual degree, result- ing in an increasing exchange of com- modities. Furthermore, recent years have witnessed a most gratifying rise in the standards of living of the wage earners throughout the Americas. They enjoy a greater productive and earning capacity, with a consequent increase in their purchasing power which has been reflected in the growing volume of in- ter-American commerce, destined to become more and more important as it combines a scientific utilization of natural resources with an increasing economic_power of the masses of the people. The greater a nation becomes in wealth and production, the more it has for the service of its neighbors, the larger its markets for the goods of others, The operation of natural forces, supplemented by the consclous purpose of the governments and peo- ples of. the Americas, has increased their mutual interest in each other and strengthened the commercial ties among_them. 3 In this work of inter-American co- operation, an important part has been played by the Pan-American Union. It stands as the permanent organ of these conferences. This international organization has labored unceasingly to give effect to the treaties and reso- lutions adopted by the successive con- ferences. Its scope of usefulness is con- stantly being enlarged and its ability to serve the American republics is strengthened with cach year that passes. Political Relations Good. In the area of political relations the results have been no less gratifying and even more significant. It s almost im- possible fully to appreciate the remark- able record achieved by the republics of America in the settlement of the differences that have arisen among them. Because of ill-defined bounda- ries of the sparsely settled political subdivisions of the old Spanish colenial empire, the independent States of America carved out of it fell heir to a large number of territorial disputes which, in many cases, were of an ex- ceedingly delicate and difficult nature. It is a tribute to the spirit of good will and mutual accommodation which has dominated the relations among the nations of the Western World that most of these disputes have been settled by the orderly process of negotiation, me- diation and arbitration. The adjust- ment of international differences on the American continents has happily ad- vanced to a stage at which but few questions remain unsolved. This ex- traordinary record of achlevement places heavy responsibility upon the present generation to advance the great work that has been so auspiciously be- gun. It is a high example that we have one, It is rather the most conclusive evidence that the results which have been secured are not of a temporary and ill-considered nature, but a mature statement of and conclusive principles, Nations Hold High Place. ‘The founders of our republics sought no peculiar preferment for themsclves. That same disinterested spirit which has animated the conduct of our past conferences has given the American family of nations a high place in the opinion of the world. Our republics seek no special privileges for themselves, nor are they moved by any of those purposes of domination and restraints upon liberty of action which in other times and places have been fatal to peace and progress. In the interna- tional system which you represent the rights of ‘each nation carry with them corresponding obligations, defined by laws which we recognize as binding upon all of us. It is through the careful observance of those laws which define our rights and impose our duties that international co-operation is possible. This lays on us all a continental respon- sibility which none of us wish to avold and the fulfillment of which is one of the most important guaranties of in- ternational friendship. While the law is necessary for the proper guidance of human action, and will always remain the source of free- dom and liberty and the ultimate guar- anty of all our rights, there is another element in our experience which must always be taken into consideration. We read that “The letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.” Oftentimes in our international relationship we shall have to look to the spirit rather than to the letter of the law. We shall have to realize that the highest law s con- sideration, co-operation, friendship and charity. Without the application of these there can be no peace and no progress, no liberty, and no republic. These are the attributes that raise hu- man relationships out of the realm of the mechanical, above the realm of ani- mal existence, into the loftier sphere that borders on the Divine. If we are to experience a new era in our affairs, | it will be because the world recognizes | and lives in accordance with this spirit. Its most complete expression is the Golden Rule. The light which Columbus followed has not failed. The courage that car- ried him on still lives. They are the heritage of the people of Bolivar and of Washington. We must lay our voy- age of exploration toward complete un- derstanding and friendship. Having taken that course, we must not be turned aside by the fears of the timid, the counsels of the ignorant or the de- signs of the malevolent. With law and charity as our guides, with that an- clent faith which is only strengthened when it requires sacrifices, we chall | anchor at last in the harbor of justice | and truth. The same Pilot which stood by the side of the Great Discoverer, and the same Wisdom which instructed the founding fathers of our republics, will continue to abide with us. MONROE DOCTRINE HIT.

It these conferences mean any- thing, they mean the bringing of all our people more definitely and more completely under the reign of law. After all, it is in that direction that we must look with the greatest assur- ance for human progress. We can make no advance in the realm of eco- nomics, we can do nothing for educa- tion, we can accomplish but little even in the sphere of religion, until human affairs are brought within the orderly rule of law. The surest refuge of the weak and the oppressed is in the law. It is pre-eminently the shield of small nations. This is necessarily a lang, la- borious process, which must broaden out from precedent to precedent, from the general acceptance of principle to {mnclple. New activities require new aws. The rules for the governing of aviation are only beginning to be con- sidered. We shall make more progress in the end if we proceed with delibera- tion. No doubt you will find in your discussions many principles that you are ready to announce as sound and settled rules of action.
