"and nobody questions our ability to
push forward our economic affairs

No Doubt of Purpose
This flag for the future is meant to
stand for the just use of undisputed
rational power No nation is ever
going to doubt our power to assert
it's rights, and we should lay it to
heart that no nation shall ever hence
