Diplomacy

Mr. President, allow me to take this opportunity to recall, with the greatest pleasure and appreciation, the most cordial reception and sincere hospitality with which I was received by the Government and people of Brazil in 1928 upon the…

Great and Good Friend: I am happy to avail of the new link between our countries constituted by the inauguration of an air mail service between them to send to Your Excellency and the people of Brazil my greetings and best wishes for…

This added development in the means of communication between countries which are as widely separated as ours will, I trust, serve to bring them closer together in the minds and thoughts of our peoples.

I send to Your Excellency and to the people of China my most cordial wishes for the increasing prosperity of your country.

Again I thank Your Majesty for your message and wish for your country blessings a hundredfold and for Your Majesty happiness and prosperity for many years to come.

My fellow countrymen join me in expressing deep appreciation of Your Majesty's touching message voicing that true and unalterable friendship which unites our two countries.

I am pleased to acknowledge the receipt of Your Excellency's courteous message upon the auspicious occasion of the settlement of the Tacna Arica question and to assure Your Excellency that it is sincerely appreciated by myself and by the…

I am greatly gratified at the promising character of the results for naval reduction arising out of the recent Geneva conference.

I am well aware of the difficulties of a program of close cooperation.

PERMIT ME to offer to Your Majesty on this birthday anniversary cordial felicitations of the Government and people of the United States and my own personal greetings.

A very great honor and courtesy have been shown by France to the United States in the arrangements they have made for the return of the body of a most distinguished American citizen--Ambassador Herrick.

I have received Your Excellency's thoughtful message and I ask you to convey to the French people this Nation's heartfelt thanks for their deep sympathy.

The French loved him for his sympathetic understanding, but realized that during his long service in Paris he never lost any of his love for his own country and therefore never failed in his representative capacity.

I HAVE heard with profound regret of the death of Myron T. Herrick, our Ambassador in Paris.

Diplomatic visas will be granted by diplomatic missions only.

The convention and protocol had my approval and were signed by the American minister at Ottawa by virtue of full powers issued to him by me.

I should certainly like it if European questions could be adjusted by the Europeans.

Of course, our country would consider any suggestion that the responsible authorities of the British Government wanted to submit to us.
