that they can rely on our moral
support. Proposals for promoting
the peace of the world will have
careful consideration. But we are
not a people who are always seek
ing for sign. We know that
peace comes from honesty and fair
dealing. from moderation. and a
generous regard for the rights of
others. The heart of the nation is
more important than treaties. A
spirit OF generous consideration is
more certain defense than great
ornaments. We should continue
to promote peace by our example,
and fortify it by such international
covenants against war as we are
permitted under our Constitution
to make.
American Progress
Our country has made much
progress. But it has taken, and
will continue to take. much effort.
Competition will be keen, the temp
tation to Selfishness and arrogance
will he severe. the provocations to
deal harshly whit weaker peoples
will be many. All of these are
embraced in the opportunity for
true greatness. They will be over
balanced by cooperation. by gen.
erosity and a spirit OF neighborly
kindness. The forces of the uni
verse are taking humanity in that
direction. In doing good, in walk
ing humbly. in sustaining its own
people, in ministering to other ma.
tions, America will work out its
own mighty destiny.
