ties, need we forget o,,r dutv to our own

cr and prosnerity 50 our interesta viii,
grow in that farthest west which is Ihn
immemoriaI east. The shadow of our dos
tiny has already reached the shores of
Asia. The might of our neon,e aIre,dv
looms large against tho World. horizon.
and it will loom ever larger as the years
go by. No statesman has right to neg
lest the interests OF our people In the Pa
