An International Celebration of,.. Peace and Good Will in the Americas Through his visit to the Inter-American Peace Conference at Buenos Aires, President Roosevelt and officials of his Administration have helped pave the way for closer “neighborliness” on the Western Hemisphere. With a spirit of confidence now prevalent throughout the Americas, what better time than 1937 to give recognition to our “good neighbor” policies? The GREATER TEXAS and PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION of 1937 is inspired by and util celebrate this milestone in Inter-American friendship and future trade relations. It is fitting that such a celebration should be held in Texas and the Southwest Dallas—friendly, cosmopolitan—a comparatively new city, is located virtually in the center of the Western Hemisphere, making it an important gateway to our neighbor republics of the south. Dallas and the Southwest look ahead to a new day of international travel... when the great ribbon of highway that now extends from Canada down beyond Mexico City will “carry on” through Central America and into the rich, resourceful South American republics. Dallas now stands at the cross-roads of this great Pan-American Highway. American tourists by the hundreds of thousands will travel this newly-opened road to Mexico City in 1937. Thousands of Mexican tourists will travel north to the United States during the year. The GREATER TEXAS end PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION trill be the mecca of these vuitors!
