Mr. Berlc added: "Immediately before us is the problem whether the Western Hemisphere can maintain untroubled its quiet and spacious life', because the impact of the rest of the .world upon us is greater than ever before. Our resolution to work together is redoubled. This hemisphere hopes all countries may in time discover there is more safety in understanding* than in arms. "The peace of the Americas is not the peace of an empire. It is the peace of co-operation. We, are prepared to defend this position on any line necessary. Ultimately, we hope, the entire world will agree with us, and then disarmament will be possible. Until then we must hold our own strength. On this subject, fortunately, there is no difference of opinion from Canada to Cape Horn."
