Washington metropolitan area,
watched parts or all of the in
augural events.
The new President set forth
nine rules of conduct" for the
United States and the world, and
said if these were observed, IAN
earth of peace may become not a
vision but a fact"
Nos. and ? were promises to
make America strong and resolute
to deter an aggressor, scorning APP
peasement and giving notice that
this country would join in any
'honest" cooperation of nations to
remove the causes of mutual fear
and distrust.
3. Called upon this nation to
view its strength and security "as
a trust upon which rests the hope
of free men everywhere"
4. Declared the United States
would never try to impress upon
other peoples "our own cherished
political and economic institutions"
5. Said the United States would
go on striving to help less fortunate
peoples to achieve security, but
1--WE shall count upon them to as
sumo within the limits of their re-
sources, their full and just burdens
in the common defense Of free
DOM"
6. Pledged himself to follow
policies that would encourage pro-
ductivity and profitable trade"
7. and 8. Promised to make the
United Nations an effective force
for peace.
9. Rejected the insinuation that
one race of people is inferior or eX-
pendable.
He declares eve must be ready
to dare all for our country. For
history does not long entrust the
care of freedom to the weak or
timid. We must acquire proficiency
in defense and display stamina in
purpose. We must be willing, in
dividually and as a nation, to ac-
cept whatever sacrifices may be
required of us. A people that values
its privileges above its principles
soon loses both.
These basic precepts are not
lofty distractions, far removed
from matters Of daily living. They
are laws of spiritual strength that
generate and define our material
: trengt h. Patriotism means
equipped forces and prepared
citizcny. Moral stamina means
more energy and more productivity,
on the fam and in the factory.
Love of liberty means the guard
ing Of every resource that makes
freedom possible-from the sancti-
ty of our families and the wealth
of our soil to the genius of our
scientists.
80 each citizen plays an indis-
pensable role. The productivity of
our heads, our hands and our
hearts is the source of all the
strength we can command, for both
the enrichment of our lives and
the winning of peace.
NO person, no home, no COM
munity can be beyond the reach
of this call. We are summoned to
act in wisdom and in conscience; to
work with industry, to teach with
persuasion, to preach with con-
viction, to weigh our every deed
with care and with compassion.
For this truth must be clear be-
fore us: whatever America hopes
to bring to pass in the world must
first come to pass in the heart of
America.
"The peace we seek, then, is
nothing less than the practice and
the fulfillment of our whole faith,
among ourselves and in our deal
ings with others. 1t signifies more
than stilling the guns, easing the
sorrow, Of war.
More than an escape from
death, it is way Of life.
More than haven for the
weary, it is a hope for the brave.
This is the hope that bcckons
us onward in this century of trial.
This is the work that awaits us
ALL to be done with bravery, with
charity-and with prayer to al
