Text: BYRNES REPORTS ON FOUR-POWER PARIS CONFERENCENarrator: United States Secretary of State Byrnes reports on the Paris Four-Power Conference. Secretary of State James Byrnes: We did not reach agreement upon the treaties, nor upon the question of calling a peace conference, or our proposal for a four-power treaty for 25 years to keep Germany disarmed. Our problems are serious, but I am not discouraged. Our offensive to secure peace has only begun. But we must not forget that if we fail to cooperate in a peace which is indivisible, we may again find that we will have to cooperate in a war which is worldwide. Whether we like it or not, we live in one world.
