two years there has come more and
more into my heart the conviction that
peace is going to come to the world
only with liberty.
Not Through Selfish Aims.

governments than ours, perhaps l may
be permitted to say that peace can not
come so long as the destinies of men
are determined by small groups who
make selfish choices of their own.

said or intimated. that our long stand
ing and delightful friendship with the
| people of France has come from COM
munity of ideals and identity of pur-
pose. One republic must love another
republic just one body of human
! beings must understand and SYM
pathize with another body of human
| beings There is a common pulse in US
all: there is common contact with
life: there is a common body of hope;
| there is common stock of resolution.

and thought and action. The peace of
the world is not going to be assured by
