      disputes, that adjustment of difficulties, when they arrive, 
      can always be reached promptly through the peaceful processes 
      of reason and good will, with the sure conviction that not only 
      will friendship not be impaired, but that it may frequently thereby 
      be even strengthened.
 
      I am persuaded that the greatest single contribution our two 
      countries have been enabled to make to civilization, and the 
      welfare of peoples throughout the world, is the example we have 
      jointly set by our manner of conducting relations between our 
      two nations. If this example which we have established could 
      only be universally followed, relations between all countries 
      would rest upon a sure foundation, and men and women everywhere 
      could once more look upon a happy, a prosperous, and a peaceful 
      world.
 
      May this kind of understanding between our countries grow ever 
      closer, and may our friendship prosper. Ladies and gentlemen, 
      I ask you to rise and join me in drinking the health of His Majesty, 
      King George VI.
