Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Contrast in the Development of Nationality in Anglo America and Latin America: An Address Delivered by Señor Don Federico Alfonso Pezet, Minister of Peru, Before Clark University, Worcester, Mass;, November 21, 1913 I have chosen as my subject a question that is most important at this time, when there is a growing tendency to know better and to understand the peoples of the Latin-American nations; to get closer to them by establishing bonds of friendship through commercial relations based on mutual respect and confidence, as is evidenced by this Conference, and by the recent utterances of the President of the United States in his memorable declarations at Mobile. In order to properly determine the relative positions and conditions of the two great groups of individuals that people this American world, north and south of the Rio Grande and the Gulf of Mexico, we must first study the contrasts in the development of nationality in these two groups that, for expediency, I shall denominate or class as "Anglo-American" and "Latin-American." No man can truly appreciate another if he does not know him. No nation can feel friendship towards another if it does not know it. But to know, should imply understanding, without which there can be nothing in common, and understanding is essential to draw individuals together, and this is also true of nations. International relations are necessary. They are cultivated for many reasons, but they do not necessarily mean friendship. Nations, like individuals, live on good terms with their neighbors because it behooves them to do so, but this does not imply that they are friends, that there is any closer relation between them, other than one of courteous deference towards each other. Such neighbors, whether they be individuals or nations, do not know each other, much less do they understand each other. There is, consequently, no true friendship between them; no bond of union. Therefore, if such people wish to become friendly, they must begin by knowing each other, becoming acquainted through intercourse and thus discover their respective traits and characteristics, so that, in course of time, a sentiment of understanding is born, which, being reciprocal, eventually gives way to friendship, and, in like manner, to amity between nations.
