principles OF morality and
consideration of our own security

in peace dictated by ag-
gressors and sponsored by APP
Peasers."
These are more than inspiring
words. these are determined words,
words-a tacit promise
that the United States, President
Roosevelt willing, will not stand
for a peace that is not acceptable
to the President of the United
States.
If these words mean anything
and / cannot conceive that the
President of the United States
would use meaningless words in
