civilization" he continued we We're
naturally arrayed together, and the
convictions of a civilization worthy of
that costly preservation will eXalt
peace and warn against conflict for
all time to scome. Four members of
the cabinet including the secretary of
state we're in the company of officials
who heard the pronouncement and
