This business of foreign affairs, things change from day to day.

We like to see roads springing up everywhere because we are certain that as you people from all countries come to visit us, and we come to meet you, there is going to be nothing but good come out of it.

This order shall become effective on the date that the Convention on Relations between the Three Powers and the Federal Republic of Germany and related Conventions, as amended, come into force.

If we apply those principles today to ourselves at home, and to our tackling of our relationships with our friends abroad, we can dispel fear from our minds.

My friends, an enlightened trade policy in the international world for the United States means only this: we are trying to build a bridge, a permanent bridge, that will connect a growing and widely-shared prosperity at home with international peace.

The position of foreign affairs vis-a-vis other nations must not be weakened.

No major reorganization of this character can be accomplished quickly and to attempt to do so could jeopardize the implementation of existing programs which are so important to our relations with other nations.

We would demonstrate our desire to deal with matters of trade in the same cooperative way we do with military matters in such regional pacts as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and with financial matters in the International Monetary Fund and in the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

You must try to understand the heart of America and how to translate that heart to other peoples.

I do hereby proclaim Thursday, April 14, 1955, as Pan American Day, and the period from April 10 to April 16, 1955, as Pan American Week

That, my friends, is what eventually will give us peace in the world.

It is a pleasure to me to welcome you here, and I hope that you will enjoy your stay in this country

A peace that is real--a peace that will give us security in the future

By the Charter all United Nations members are bound to settle their disputes peacefully rather than by the use of force.

We must stand firm against aggression, build up our defenses, cooperate with other free peoples, and hold the door open for the fair settlement of international disputes.

Our minimum objectives will soon be met, and if international conditions do not worsen, it may be possible to begin soon to taper off our stockpile purchasing of rubber.

The Korean invasion has made it eminently plain that the entire free world lives in the constant danger of further communist aggression.

It is my firm belief that the expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty at this time to include Greece and Turkey--two countries which have been collaborating so effectively with the other members of the free world in building the structure of peace--is a requisite step in the furtherance of the Treaty's objectives.
