you most sincerely for
t you have uttered. 1
cannot toreteird. sir, that the prospect
of goink homi is not very delightful
to me, but I Jan say with the great
est sincerity that the prospect of
leaving France is very painful to me.
I have received a peculiarly gen
erous welcome here, and it has been
pleasing for me to reel that that wel
come was intended not so much for
muself as for the people who I rep
resent. ' And th people of France
know how to give a welcome that
makes a man's heart glad. They
have a spontaneity about- them, a
simplicity of friendship which I al
together delightful.
Stay Enligtitening
I feel that my stay here, air. ha
enlightened both my heart and my
mind.- It has enabled me personally
to see the evidences of the suffering
and the sacrifices of France. It ha
enabled me to come into personal
touch with the leaders of the French
people and through the medium ot
intercourse with them, to understand
better, I hope, than I understood be
fore, the motives, the ambitions and
the principles which actuate this
great nation. It has therefore, been
to me a lesson in the roots of friend
hip in those things which make the
intercourse gi nations prouiaoie ana
serviceable for an the rest of man-
-Sometimes the work of the con
ference has seemed to go very slow-
I lr indeed. Sometimes it has seemed
as if there were unnecessary obsta
I cies to agreement, but as the weeks
have lengthened I have seemed to
see the profit that came out of that.
Quick conclusions would not have
have produced that intimate know
ledge of each other's mind- which 1
think has come out of these daily
conferences.

' "We have been constantly in the
presence of each other's minds and
motives and characters and the eom
radeships which are based upon that
sort of knowledge are sure to be very
much more intelligent not only, but
to breed more intimate sympathy
and comprehension than could other
wise be created.
"These six months havo been six
months which have woven new fibres
of connection between the hearts of
our people. And something more
than friendship and intimate sympa
thy has come out of this intercourse.
"Friendship Is a very good thing.
Intimacy is a very enlightening

happened is that we have translated
our common principles and our com

Cooperation i Begun
"We have finished the formulation
of the peace, but we have begun

will broaden and strengthen as the
years' go by, so that this grip of the
hand that we have taken will not
need to be relaxed. We havs been

We shall continue to be co-workers
