LET US SAVE CHINA

A republic where there is a fair balance between conservatives and radicals and where the liberals are quite often in power is one where the greatest number have life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. All agreeable things. So let us save China.

There are so many reasons why we should save China. In the first place China is interesting and so it would be interesting to save China. Then China is a big country and big countries should stand by each other and we are a big country and so we ought to save China. And then capitalists and workmen should agree to save China because you cant prime a pump by pulling yourself up by your own boot-straps however much you might like to and by saving China you can prime the pump, so everybody ought to want to save China. Everybody ought to want to. And then it would take some courage to romp right in and save China, and everybody would like everybody to be courageous so do let everybody want everybody to save China. The communists ought to want to save China, the capitalists ought to want to save China, the artists ought to want to save China, the liberals, the radicals, the religious people ought to want to save China because the Chinese are convertible religiously speaking and so why why why does not America just go to it and save China.

Is there any possible reason why they should not just rise up and save China, except that they have not realised how necessary it is for them all to save China.

After all being courageous is difficult. You have to begin and beginning is always difficult. Most people not having the habit of being courageous it never does occur to them to begin. Now in saving China the great thing is beginning, nobody has to do anything but just begin but if everybody just began just think how it would run if everybody ran to save China. Just think.

What a pleasure to save China, to begin, to go over there in the way a
big country can go. A big country is slow but once it begins, being slow
makes them go just that much faster. We have done that again and again, not
begun and then suddenly, apparently suddenly but really because it was the
only thing to do, we began and then everything ran. And that is the way we
must save China.

Now everybody all together knows that this is so.

To save everything there is only one way to begin and that is to save
China.

Go to it, everybody sing, Let us save China.
