States and Japan, we hope to
make it the basis for peace in
the Pacific
Toward the day when that
peace will be assured. all our
hopes are turned" he said.

"afirms the well-established prin-
ciple that the security of an in
dividual nation is inevitably bound
to the security of its. partners
in the free world; that our COM
mon desire for peace is coupled
with a strong resolve to resist ag-
gression "

bitter experience that freedom
and constant vigilance are insep-
arabic companions Mr.. Spender
said. Because we labor for
peace we must be prepared to
meet aggression no matter
whence it may come or wherever
it may strike. There is no other
way"

common undertaking to regard a
danger to one as danger to all. "

treaty into practical application.
