After all there is less difference about the part this great Republic shall play in furthering peace and advancing humanity than in the manner of playing it.
I would like the Congress and the people of the Nation to believe that in a firm and considerate way we are insistent on American rights wherever they may be questioned, and deny no rights of others in the assertion of our own.
They are met here by our invitation, not in our aloofness, and they accept our hospitality because they have faith in our unselfishness and believe in our helpfulness.
Every obligation consonant with American ideals and sanctioned under our form of government is willingly met.
