Such works as this are created in the hearts of the citizens of two nations, citizens who respect and believe in one another.

I speak for all the citizens of my own country here present when I express to you, Mr. President, our tremendous satisfaction that you have honored us with this personal visit.

Our awareness of the vital problems and the exciting opportunities here in the lands of all the Americas.

I am proud of you for coming out today in spite of the heat and the inconvenience, and the impossibility of getting out there to visit with the President of Mexico, and to hear the bands.

If friendship does not replace the hostilities of the world, if the conference table does not displace the battlefield as the place where we shall settle our disputes, then civilization as we know it indeed has a meager future.

Now, here today, if you can establish one new link of friendship with our nearest neighbors, you have made progress toward a future that you can turn over to your children with pride and confidence.

You young people still own, let us say, 60 years of our country--far more than I do.

The conquest of these problems is within the power of our united energy, skill, and determination.

Our common purpose is the pursuit of a peace that is productive and lasting.

He honors his neighbor's rich heritage as heartfully as he honors his own.

For your country, this country has only sentiments of friendship, of pride, and esteem.

I would like to give you some idea of how firmly I believe in the necessity of international friendship.

I shall ever deem it a privilege--and a useful service to my own country--to work with you cooperatively and in friendship.

The force for common good which we can found in this cooperation.

The man we salute today is the same--on whichever side of this border he lives.

And for myself I say: I am proud that today I have been able to form a new personal, valuable friendship with you.

But one thing I did know: that I had promised a lot of people that if ever I got in politics, I was going to come to the South.

Well then, I assure you, that kind of help, as much as I can give, will always be there.
