The Joint statement said: "Our conversations' have been largely confined to the mutual relations of the two countries in the light of the situation created by the signing of the Kellogg peace pact. Therefore, in a new una reinforced sense the twe governments, not only declare war between then to be unthinkable, but that distrusts and suspicions arising from doubts and fears, which may have been Justified before the peace pact, must now cease to influence national policy." The hope was expressed that steps taken to secure peace would be welcomed by the people whom the two statesmen represent.
