 adherence to the things which made us what we are 7
 Today, better than ever before, We know the aspirations of humankind and share them. We have come to a new realization of our place in the world ana new appraisal of our nation by the world. The unselfishness of these united States is a thing proven, our devotion to peace for ourselves and for the world is well established our concern for preserved civilization has had is fmpassioned and heroic express sion. There was on American failure to resist the attempted reversion of civilization, there will be no failure to- day or tomorrow.
 Rest On Popular Will
 The success of our popular govern ment rests wholly upon the correct in depreciation of the deliberate. intelli- gent, dependable popular will of Amer ica- In deliberate questioning of a sug- gested change of national policy where internationally was to supersede na- tionaity, we turned to a referendum to pie discussion and there is a public mandate in manifest understanding
 America is ready to encourage eager to initiate, anxious to participate in any seemly program likely to lessen the probability of war and promote that brotherhood of mankind which must be Gods highest conception of human relationship. Because we cher ish ideals of justice and peace, because we appraise international comity and helpful relationship no less highly than any people of the world, we aspire to a high place in the moral leadership of civilization and we hold a main tained America, the proven republic, the unshaken temple of representative democracy, to be not only an inspira- tion an example. but the highest agency of strengthening good will and promot- ing accord on both continents.
 Mankind needs a worldwide bene- diction of understanding. It is needed among individuals, among peoples among governments, and it will inaug urate an era of good feeling to mark the birth of a new order. In such un- derstanding men will strive confidently for the promotion of their better rela- tionships and nations will promote the counties so essential to peace.
 Trade Ties Bind Closely
 eve must understand that ties oi trade bind nations in closet intimac> and none may receive except as he gives We have not strengthened ours in accordance with our resources or oui genius, notably on our own continent where galaxy or republics reflect the glory of New World democracy, but in the new order of finance and trade we mean to promote enlarged activities and seek expanded confidence.
 Perhaps we can make no more help full contribution by example than prove a republics capacity to emerge from the wreckage of war. While the worlds embittered travail did not leave us dev- astated lands nor desolated cities, left no gaping wounds, no breast of hate it did involve us in the delirium of ex- penditure, in expanded currency and credits. in unbalanced industry, un- speakable waste and disturbed rela- tionships. While it uncovered our DOT ton of hateful seifisflness at home, ii also revealed the heart of America as sound and fearless and breathing i1l confidence unfailing.
 Amid it all we have riveted the gaze of all civilization to the unselfishness and the righteousness of representative where our freedom never has made offensive warfare, never lsAs sought territorial aggrandiZemeni force, never has turned to the arbitrament of arms until reason had been exhausted. When the governments of earth shall have been established 2 freedom like our own and shall have sanctioned the pursuit of peace as wt have practiced it, I believe the last sor- row and the final sacrifice of interna. tinal warfare will have been written
 Our Supreme Task
 Our supreme task is the resumption of our onward normal way Recon struction. readjustmeiat. restoration = all these must follow. I would like tf have them If it will tighten the spirit and add to the resolution with whlcf we take up the task. let me repeat fol our nation, we shall give no people jus cause to make war upon us We holo no national prejudice, we entertain nc spirit Of revenge. we do not hate, WI do not covet. we dream of no conquest nor boast of armed prowess.
 If, despite this attitude war is agair forced upon us. earnestly hope a wao may be found which will unify our in dividual and collective strength ant .consecrate all America, materially ant spiritually. body and soul, to nationa defense. l can vision the ideal repub lie. where every man and woman i called under the flag for assignmen to duty. for whatever service, nlilitar, or civic, the individual is best fitted where we may call to universal Serv ice every plant, agency and facility, al in the sublime sacrifice for our countr, and not one penny of war profit shal l accrue to the benefit of private indi vidua1, corporation or combination. bu all above the normal shall flow into tn defense chest of the nation. There something inherently wrong, somethin ! out of accord with the ideals of repre sentative democracy when one portio 1 of our citizenship turns its actfvitie to private gain amid defensive wa while another is fighting, sacrificing c | dying for national preservation.
 l Unity of Spirit and Purpose l Out of such universal service wi ! come a new unity of spirit and pun 1 pose, a new confidence and consecra 1 ton which would make our defens | irylpregnable. our triumph assure' 1 Then we should have little or no dis organization of our economic, indus
