MONTERREY, Mexico, April 21 (U. P.). — Text of President Roosevelt's speech “made in Monterrey last night:

Your excellency’s friendly and eordial expressions add the very great pleasure which feel at heing here on Mexican soil. =; It js an amazing thing to have realize that mearly thirty-four have passed since the chief cutives of our two nations have t face to face.

The wisdom of the measures which the statesmen of Mexico and the United States and of the other American republics have adopted at intér-American : gatherings during recent years has been amply demonstrated. They have succeeded because they have: been placed in effect, not only-by Mexico and the United States, but by all except one of the other American republics. {You and I, Mr. President, as commanders ~ in - chief of our respective armed forces, have been able to concert measures for common defense. .

In this great city of Monterrey, I have been most impressed with the single-minded purpose with which pll the forces. of production are joined "together in the war effort. And Mexican farm workers, brought to the United States in accordance with an agreement between ‘our two governments, the ternis of which are fully consonant with the social objective we cherish together, are contributing their skill and their toil to the production of vitally needed food. Not less important than the military co-operation and the supplies needed for the maintenance of our respective economies, has been the exchange of those ideas and .of those moral values which give life and significance to the tremendous effort of the ‘free peoples of the world. We in the United States have listened with admiration and profit to’ your statements and addresses, Mr. President, and to those of your distinguished foreign minister. "We have gained inspiration and strength from your words.

Let us make sure that when our. victory is won, when the forces of evil surrender—and that surrender shall be unconditional— then we, with the same: spirit and with the same united courage, will face the task of the building of a better world. There is much work still to be done by men of good will on both sides of our border.

It is time that every citizen in every one of the American republics recognizes that the good neighbor policy means that harm to one republic means harm fo every republic. We have all of us recognized the principle of independence. It is time that we recognize also the privilege of interdependence—one upon another. Mr. President, it is my hope that in the expansion of our common effort in this war and in the peace to follow we will again have occasion for friendly consultation in order further to promote the closest understanding and continued unity of purpose between our two peoples.

MONTERREY, Mexico,

lowing is a translation of the speech delivered by President Manuel Avila. Camacho of Mexico in Monterrey tonight:

Mr. President: Beca! of the fundamental virtues whicH distinguish you and be‘cause of ‘the significance of the solemn moment in which your visit to Mexico is being carried out, this occasion ;is not only a motive of deep satisfaction for my country, but also an incontrovertible proof of the progress attained by our two peoples in their desire to know each other, to understand each other, and to collaborate, without interruptions or falterings, in order to achieve the democratic aspirations which unite them. Mexico has not been obliged to alter in the slightest degree her basic policy in order to find herself at the side of those nations which are fighting for the civilization of the world and for the good of humanity. Our true path has not varied, Our historic sense of honor

we gave expression in the past with our arms in order to defend our territory and to sustain our institutions. If our position .of solidarity with your country in the present emergency had implied for us some unforeseen change in our course, our co-operation would not enjoy the unanimous support which it has been granted by Mexican public opinion.

DEFINES OUR CORDIALITY

What then are the causes of our firm and sincere cordiality? Your excellency personally is giving me the best reply to this inquiry. In effect, neither your: excellency nor I believe in negative memories because we both place our hope in the soundness of principles, in the perfectibility of men, and in the constructive capacity of ideals. You furnish us with an eloquent witness of a similar capacity of the spirit which for some years has guided your country and which has led it to strengthen by all possible means the generous systems of equality and independence. In this process—which owes so much to your ability as a leader—the United States has not been obliged to seek a foreign model. In order to feel that your true greatness is not based upon dominance but rather upon the respect of sovereignties and on harmony under the law, it was sufficient for you to return with precision to the lesson of your greatest heroes, Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln are present in the current decisions of your country. Z And among your other claims to. fame, your excellency undoubtedly possesses that of having inflexibility fought to apply to the relations between the countries of this hemisphere the teachings of the famous liberators.

BACK ‘GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD’

Mexico will never forget your participation in “the structure of that new , American policy which, because it is so much in agreement with our national purpose, we could without boastfulness proclaim as ours. Good neighbors. Good friends. That is what we have always wished to be for all the. peoples of the earth. It was’ certainly not hatred which causes. us to enter the war in which we find ourselves. Nor was it a petty fnterest in possible practical advantages. We know perfectly well that any -struggle is strenuous and that nothing durable can be created - without ‘constancy in privations ‘and without steadfastness and severity in sacrifice. With the same clarity we know the only iconquests which the united nations will obtain will be. the. moral conquests

of dignity in thought, of autonomy

» The frenzied paperhanger from Austria must now be suffering from acute insomnia. His vision of world empire is fading. His armies, once believed invincible by many, are beginning to know defeat. Many of his "supermen” are now tired and disillusioned. And while Herr Hitler tosses sleeplessly, we wonder whether he realizes the enormity of his mistake in neglecting his railroads. For even in a land of “supermen,” rolling stock must be kept in condition; engines should be periodically overhauled; roadbeds must be maintained; bombed railway centers must be given instant attention. The Nazi overlord has neglected these things. In doing so, he has violated a war principle as old as war itself—to maintain lines of supply and transportation so that armies: nay have quick mobility. 5

How thankful America should be that management. dorsi the necessity of modernizing the nation’s railroads. They are now in "fighting trim,” and we are determined to keep them that way.

in conduct, and of the overthrowof might by right. And your excellency understands all this especially well, you to whom—as the champion of the ‘Atlantic charter>there is reserved A transcendental role in this time of unprecedented importance. Our countries do not wish for a mere strategic truce obtained simply so that the world may again tomorrow fall into the same old faults of ambition, of imperialism, of iniquity and of sordid privilege. We desire a living together free of the perpetual threats which derive from those who seek supremacy. Free from the supremacy in the domestic field which—as we were able to note during the period in which this war was prepared— led certain elements to place their class interests above the interests of the whole*group. And free from the supremacy. in the foreign field, the constant results of which are violence, death and the ruin of culture. In order to bring about such a living together, we must above all destroy the machinery of barbarism constructed by the dictators. Circumstances will determine for each one of us the degree of direct participation in active combat which this obligation may warrant. But there is one thing which is in reach of all: The carrying on the fight immediately at home against those evils which offend and concern us in others. A campaign of such universal extension is not won alone in the trenches of the enemy. It is also won at home through greater unity, through more work, through greater production and through the benefit of pure democracy in which our brothers, our comrades, and even our enemies may discover a promise capable of

DIFFICULTIES ARE GREAT

The difficulties with which we will be confronted will be very great. I recognize it. However, the energies of the people who are fighting against Nazi-fascism and the honesty of the statesmen who direct them are high pledges that the faith of which I speak will not be destroyed in the deliberations over the peace. In order to contribute to the work of the post-war period the United States and Mexico are placed in a situation of undeniable possibilities and obligations. Geography has made of us a natural bridge of conciliation between the Latin and the Saxon cultures of the continent. If there is any place where the thesis of the good neighborhood may be proved with efficacy, it is right here in the juxtaposition of these lands. Our successes and our errors will have in the future a tremendous signifi-

‘NO COMPROMISE, GOEBBELS WARNS

By UNITED PRESS Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, in an article on the trials of war, told the German people today that the struggle must be fought to a finish without compromise.

“This: may sound hard, but it is s0,” Goebbels said in the Publication Das Reich broadcast by the Berlin radio and recorded by the United Press in New York. “It was possible to overcome the defeat of 1918 only because of a series of particularly favorable developments. This could never be repeated any more. We must go this difficult way to the end . . . there is no way back for us. There is not even the possibility of a compromise.”

or a deception for all America, There is our primary responsibility. And thus there can best be appreciated the usefulness of these interviews which permit us to consider at close range our problems and to try to solve them with the best and clearest understanding. You have been witness of the enthusiasm with w my fellow countrymen have assumed the burden assigned to them by these virile times both in the carrying out of military service and in the multiple activities required by the industrial and agricultural mobilization of the country. At this table, you see gathered together divers representatives of a particularly enthusiastic and hard working region. The other regions of the republic of Mexico have also united in the rhythm of a production which is continually furnishing a quantity of aid to the arsenal of allied production.

WORKERS GO TO U. 8,

Within the same spirit a number every day greater. of our workmen are going to the fields of the United States to lend their assistance in tasks which for the time being have had to be abandoned by farmers who have been drafted. This assistance which is being co-ordinated with North American mobilization is—in addition to a symbol in which we understand the duties of reciprocal aid between peoples—a demonstration of the strong will which animates us. For my part I am glad to express to you the admiration with which we in Mexico observe the prodigious effort being made by your country to hasten the end of the war. The enthusiasm with which your young men have rushed to battle areas and their bravery. in offering their lives for the redemption of the oppressed awake in us an austere and continental pride. At the same time I congratulate myself on this opportunity of shaking the hand of a loyal friend, I repeat to you, Mr. President, together with the sentiments of solidarity of my country and our wish for the success of our common cause the desire that the relations between Mexico and the United States of America may develop—always—along the channels of mutual esteem and unceasing devotion to liberty.
