The further truth is that the world
is not yet clean in all its parts. There
are still portions Of it that reek with
the filth Of ancient days. There are
still lands that are ruled as Egypt
a ruled when Pharoah was kind.
The black stain of autocracy has been
wiped off the European shield: the
black stain OF cruelty still mars the
shield Of Asia. There is still work
for civilization 10 do.
Our first task is to see that death
does not wipe out those who will
lend us a hand in cleaning the foul
ness that remains. There was a work
that America alone could do in. Bel

lea alone can do in Turkey. There is
no other land on the face Of the globe
today that can do this work. There
is no time when a child is dying OF
