Santo Domingo grievously needs the aid of a powerful and friendly nation.
We have faith that we shall not prove false to the memories of the men of the mighty past.
Toward all other nations, large and small, our attitude must be one of cordial and sincere friendship.
No weak nation that acts manfully and justly should ever have cause to fear us.
