from the wreckage pf war. While
the worlds einbittered, travail did not

lated cities, left no gaping wounds,
no breast with hate, it did involve US
in the delirium of expenditure, in ex-

we take up our task, let me repeat foi
our nation, we shall give no people JUS
cause to make war upon us. We holt
no national prejudices, we entertain nj
spirit of revenge, we do not hate, we dt
not covet we dream of no conquest
nor boast of armed progress
