At first they were aghast at the suddenness of the move, but they were not slow to applaud enthusiastically the representative of the nation that chose to lead toward peace, and to back him to the limit.

When the United States refuses to fight for American capital in Mexico, but decides instead to fight for the principles of humanity and the rights of the small nations of Europe, the Latin-American peoples applaud enthusiastically. Such, they believe, is surely a determination worthy of the traditions of this country, and a policy in harmony with the ideals of all the people of America...
