I regret to find that this letter departs from accepted international practice in a number of respects.

I still entertain the hope that direct communications between us may serve the cause of peace.

The progress made in the settlement of the Suez dispute this afternoon at the United Nations is most gratifying.

I believe in the exchange of information, exchange of visitors of all kinds

Above all, we hope--all of us here--that you will carry back with you a sense that the American people are truly interested in Indonesia and you and your efforts to raise the standards of all your people, to make for them a better life.

We are gathered here, of course, to do our part in extending to the President of Indonesia and his party a welcome to this land.

There are, of course, some parallels between your country and ours.

I would be very happy to see the United Nations take a bigger and firmer hold and get more nations that are capable of contributing.

Under your reign the traditional ties of friendship and mutual understanding between our two countries, as well as the sympathetic cooperation of our peoples, have indeed been strengthened.

I am confident that the mutual aspirations of our peoples will further enhance this relationship in the years to come.

Today we meet to discuss methods of normalizing and increasing the contacts between our nations in many fields.

Toward Germany, the four of us bear special responsibilities.

I have come here, in this beautiful country of yours, to meet with my colleagues from other countries to see whether it is not possible to find some road that will lead all mankind into a more tranquil, better, fuller way of life.

To assure orderly consideration of trade problems arising between nations is vital to our own interests as a great trading nation and to the interests of those joined with us in the cause of freedom.

The vitality of the United Nations and American support for the United Nations were never more needed than now.

Such a peace can best be achieved by loyal steadfast support for the Charter of the United Nations.

And then they go ahead to name, I think a half a dozen countries where great benefits to the United States have sprung from this program.

It was, I think, very encouraging to note that in this incident, at least, there was a different attitude taken by the Soviets than they ever had in a similar one before.
