"First published December 31, 1936. The same plates were used for all printings of the book and no method of distiguishing the first edition has been discovered to date (1949). Contains the first printing in book form of FDR's address before the Inter-American Conference for the Maintenance of Peace in Buenos Aires December 1, 1936, the one on November 27, 1936, and his speech at Montevideo, Uruguay December 3, 1936. These addresses appear on pages 239-259 inclusive. It will be noted that in the O'Brien version of the Rio de Janiero address - apparently taken down in shorthand as it was delivered over the radio - the sentence " We cannot countenance aggression, from wheresoever it may come" is not present (page 252) but appears in the first papers of the Public Papers and Addresses of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Vol. V pp. 600. O'Brien givers the complete text of the Montevideo address as delivered except for the last four paragraphs which were in the natures of extemporaneous personal remarks by FDR"

This copy has no publisher, city or date on the title page. It might be a pirate edition or was published for campaign use in some later election period. Curious. Matches the first edition in all other respects including bindery.
