    "ocrText": "TRANSLATION OF PARTS OF A SPEECH MADE BY PRESIDENT GONZALES\nOF CHILE AT HIS INAUGURAL BANQUET\nThe Charter of the United Nations has already given\nus the legal instruments by which Nations may continue their\nsearch for peace and security. The Government which has just\nbeen inaugurated in Chile, feels certain that all the difficulties\nwhich might be incurred in the application of this international\nconstitution will be overcome because it (the Government) knows\nthat all Nations which subscribe to the Charter are working\ntogether to achieve a just, permanent and universal peace.\nThe possibility of attaining these ideals is not merely\na theoretical concept; it is founded on tangible acts.\nBoundaries and distances no longer isolate Nations. The Nations\nof the world form a whole, each one concerned with the common\nproblems of the international community. The era of absolute\nsovereignty has ended, and peoples without exception tend towards\nthe establishment of a true brotherhood.\nThe Government of Chile endorses this principle. For this\nreason, gentlemen, the Government of Chile has decided to\ncontinue extending its loyal and enthusiastic support to the\nUnited Nations Organization, taking into account not only the\nletter of the Charter, but also the spirit of generosity and\nfriendship among Nations which is implied in its articles.\nThis enthusiastic cooperation with the principles of the\nCharter does not differ in any way from Chile's traditional\nForeign Policy of inter-American solidarity and her desire to\nmake workable economic ties with all her brothers of the North\nand South American continents. The Government sees in this\npolicy the principles necessary for attaining the cohesive\npolitical union which the liberators of Chile envisioned.\nRECORDS\nSERVICE*\nEs"
