On thh occasion we rormal lJ colllllence the constr uction

or t he l u1141.tl&: or the Qovenwent or th• trn.1te4 St&tu. I

lladlJ express t he appree1at1on ot that Covern.~ent to the

representatives of so many other nations "ho have graci ously

decided to t ake part i n the Mew York World' s Fair ot 19)9,

Already the plans ! or their part1c1p-.t1on are drawn

and to them I want t o stress my hope that m&J"'Y ot their countrymen

•111 "f'1Sit the r a il' nut year . To t hea also a hearty welco111111

wUl be 1hen. I emphasize this on the ground of r eciprocity,

becaute ! or r.any year t the •isi ting bal ance has been tome,hat

uneven. Far .:~re .AMricana have been traveltng t o the shores ot

other Continents, especially Europe , than visitors troa the

other nations to our shor ts. I encoureae all or DIY compatriots

t o learn all they can at firs t hand about other nationa &nd to

make trienda there, but I wiah t hat .ora of the citizens of other

nationa could visit us and make trie.nda hera.

A11 o! us real1u~ or eouraa, that the a.ffd.ra ot IIISJ"'¥

S\ICh a conditi on noceuarUy accollp&niea war s and ru.ars of wars.

We in th1a Hemispher e are happ117 r emoved, 1n large

llea&ure, both fl'o• !ear end !rom the contr oversies which breed

it. In a l arger aenee, ho-..ever , we cannot r emain w:u:oncerned,

especi ally because it 1s our fortune t o en joy fr1endah1p and

coo4 r dattons with all na t1ons.

You who repruent the ot her nations here today have

heard or what is known u the pollcy ot the Good Neiahbor. To

thllt policy c e ban st .. dUy adhered, and i t uy well be said

that it 1s the definite policy ot all t he American Republics .

It is a policy which can never be mere]J unilateral.

In atr easin& it tbe .-.erica.n Republics appr eciate, I ••

confident, that it 11 bilateral a.nd aultilateral and that

the fdr de&ling which i t 1a:pl1ea IIIWi t be reciprocated.

It 18 a policy,.. ........._which was not 1n ita inception,

or subsequently, llalted to one Ha•bphere. It hu proven ao

successful in the Western Hemisphere that t he U..rlcan Republica

beli eve that i t could succeed in the r est of the world. U t he

spirit 1rh1ch lies behind it were batter \Dd.erstoo4 a.nd .:>re

act!Yel:r striven ror in the other parta of t he world.

Furthermore, the policy of the Good Ne!lhbor 1a, as we

kn01r, not lildted t o those preble .. of international relations

11'hlch lllfl:Y result ln war. we are acainst war and have agreed

amonc ourselves qu1atl:r to discuss d1tflcult1es in such a wa:r

tha t the poulbUltr or war has baco• r el[ot e, But the polic:r

in•olvu also matters or trade and 110.tters affflct1nc the

lnterchml&e of culture.

In these JaOC!.arn days when ao .an:r ne• econoa1c and.

soct-1 tenets, closer personal contacts ue an auanthl t o

That i s wh:r tbe If.- York World' a F&.ir and the San

l'rMc:i aco Pair are well-ti.J:ed tor 19)9. They will encourqe

th&t interchange or thouaht, or cult\U'e, and or trade whi ch

are so Tital t oday. They will che t o the oppos ite ends or

our country an opportunity to see the exhibitl and. vialtora

tro~ the rest or the world -- they wUl give to those vis i tors

a spl endid chance to ••• somthin& ot the l en&th and breadth

ot the united States.

All of us who are here today look forward t o Apr U ,

1939 , when this creat bposition will be torr.allr opened. It

haa b ean wall said that you cannot hat e a -.n yo u know.

Therefore, thi s ~poa1t1on will stand as a sydlol or wor l d
