President Roosevelt to the President of Mexico (Avila Camacho)

In thanking you for your telegram27 on the occasion of the signing of the agreements between Mexico and the United States on November 19, I desire to express my concurrence with your view of the great potentialities for constructive achievement represented by the agreements.

Your generous statement regarding the Good Neighbor policy is most gratifying to me especially since that policy now prevails so generally throughout the Americas.

The agreements establish for future generations an anniversary which they may celebrate with pride in the demonstration of what may be accomplished by two friendly nations in seeking mutually beneficial resolution of problems which have perplexed them for many years.

Accept [etc.]

Franklin D. Roosevelt
  1. Supra.
