THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
P
August 27, 1923.
My dear Judge Payne:
I wish you to know my pleasure in learning of the
success which has finally crowned the efforts of Mr. Warren
and yourself in the negotiations to settle the differences
between the governments of the United States and our sister
republic of Mexico. These differences for several years
constituted a menace to the peace and welfare of both countries,
and seemed at times to defy all efforts at adjustment. We
are
now able to congratulate ourselves on another demonstration
that among peoples and governments with whom mutual confidence
and the sincere desire for good relationship are the ruling
forces, there is almost always a way to peace. It must be an
occasion of especial satisfaction to you, as Chairman of the
American National Red Cross, and therefore head of the
greatest charity in the world, to have had participation in
such a splendid humani tarian accomplishment. Its usefulness
to the cause of peace in our continent, its example to the
Relations
