York; Dwight, l feel that 1 am near
the end Of my career, and want to
tell you something. l have had great
deal to do with politics and with poll
ticians in my time, and rs I look back
over the past can clearly see that the
pest friendships of my life have been
formed In politics: 1t Is In politics that
Ihave met the manifest men, the most
generosity. These friendships have
been enduring, too. Many of them have
continued throughout life. believe
politics brings out tho best there Is In
man. 1t tenches the narrow man.to be
brond. the selfish one to be generous.
This Is true because friendships are es-
sentinl to success. In that field of nc

can't get on. and IL he wants friend
ships he must deserve them. would
