I Regret Very Much To Hear So

I Know Of No Greater Work For Humanity Than In The Cause Of Peace, Which Can Only Be Achieved By The Earnest Efforts Of Nations And Peoples.

The Fact That So Many Of Your People Are Today Residents And Citizens Of The United States, Lending Their Influence To Our Civic And Economic Life, Which Has Meant So Much To Our Development.

I Believe That In The End The Abolition Of War, The Maintenance Of World Peace, The Adjustment Of International Questions By Pacific Means Will Come Through The Force Of Public Opinion, Which Controls Nations And Peoples.

France And Italy Have Not Yet Signed This Treaty Or Agreed To Naval Limitation As Between Those Nations, But I Have Confidence That In Time They Will Do So.

It Is By Such Means As The Prize Offered By Your Committee That The Attention Of The World Will Be Focused And That Men And Women Will Be Inspired To Greater Efforts In The Interest Of Peace.
