Call for Cooperation.
"ReAecting today on the inevitable
ness of our participation. on our ties
of kinship. friendship and fellowship,
and appraising anew, the way the
world-God's good world-must share
the aspirations to realize the noblest
ideals for mankind, there is a fresh
hungering for understanding, a new
call for cooperation, clear conyie-
ton of purposes and devotions and
loyalties not limited to soverelgnties
nor national boundaries.
II believe the time is come when
there must be recognition of essential
cooperation among nations, devored,
each of them in its own peculiar way,
TO the common good, the progress, the
advance of all human kind Let us
hope that we stand at the dawn of
a new DAY, in which nations shall be
stronger for contribution to the worlds
betterment, because each will feel the
assurance of common purpose and uni
ted aspiration, and the security of

peace and civilization.
zone need not picture a world SOW
ereignty, ruling over all the varying
races, traditions and national cultures,
because it will never be. No pro-
gram which seeks to submerge ma
tionality will succeed. This republic
will never surrender so priceless a
4 heritage, will never destroy the soul
I which impelled our gratifying attain
ments. In the sober circumspection,
