Yet we would be reckless not
to recognize that this calamity
is a possibility. Indeed history
suggests that conflict as basic
AS that dividing the world of
freedom and the world Of inter-
national communism ultimately

That suggestion we reject. But
to reject in terms Of words. or of
hopes, is not enough. We must
also exert ourselves to the full
to prevent 1t. To this task, the
American people must unswerv-
Iingly dedicate their hearts and
minds throughout the years
ahead.
That is not too much to ex-
|pect. Americans are a people of
faith. They have always had a
sense Of mission and willingness
to sacrifice to achieve great
goals. Surely. our Nation did not
reach a new peak Of power and
responsibility merely to partake
OF the greatest. and perhaps the
last. Of all human disasters.
