troubled: Things in life will not always run smoothly. Sometimes we will be rising toward the heights then all will seem to reverse itself and start downward. The great fact to remember is that the trend of civilization itself is forever up- ward; that a line drawn through the middle of the peaks and the valleys of the centuries always has an upward trend"
 Our constitution of 1787 was not perfect instrument; 1t is not per. feet yet. But it provided firm base upon which all manner of men, of all races and colors and creeds, could build our solid structure of democracy.
 Today in this year of war, l945, we have learned lessons-at a fear full cost-and We shall profit by them.
 We have learned that we cannot live alone, at peace; that our own well-being is dependent on the we'll being of other nations, far away. We have learned that we must live as men, not ostriches, nor as dogs in the manager.
 We have learned to be citizens of the world, members of the human community.
 We have learned the simple truth, as Emerson said, that the only way to have friend is to be one"
 We can gain no asting peace if we approach 1t with suspicion and mistrlst-and with fear. We can gain 1t ony If we proceed with the understanding and confidence and courage which flow from conviction.
