PRESIDENT STATES AMERICA HAS
NO DESIRE TO EXTEND ITS
TERRITORY
THIS TO SOOTHE MEXICO
Baltimore, , Md., May 4. President
Taft in his speech at the opening of
the Third National Peace Conference
here yesterday, declared that the
United States would keep hands off
and not seek to extend its domain
or to acquire foreign territory.
The President made no mention
specifically of Mexico, but to those
who heard him it was evident that
the troubled situation there and the
suspicion in the South American re
publics as to the intention of this
nation, in regard to its Southern
neighbor had inspired him.
The President had been speaking
of the recurrence of Internal disturb
ances in countries not so well able
as the United States to maintain or
der and peace and had said that it
was incumbent upon the great' na
tions of "this hemisphere to exercise
their kindly and peaceful influence
as much, as possible.
"One of the difficulties that the
United States finds is the natural
suspicion - that the countries engaged
In controversies have of the motives
which the United Statesas in ten
dering its good offices," continued the
President.
"Asservation of good faith helps,
but little where the suspicion is real,
and yet I like to avaH myself of an
opportunity in such presence as this
to assert that there is not in the
whole length and breadth of the
United States among Its . people any
desire for territorial aggrandizement
and that its people as a whole will
not permit its government, . If it
would, to take any steps In respect
to foreign peoples, looking to a forci
ble extension of our political power.
"We have had wars and we know
what they are. We know what re
sponsibilities they entail, the bur
dens and losses and horrors and we
would have none of them. We have
a magnificent domain of our own in
which we are attempting to work out
and show to the world. We have be
come a powerful member of the com
munity of nations in which we live
and there is, therefore, thrust upon 'us
necessarily a care and responsibility
for the peace of the world in our
neighborhood, and a burden of help
ing those nations that cannot help
themselves, if we may do that peace
fully and effectively."
