- The, policy of this nation is a pacific one We have never
conducted a war of aggrandisement or for nurnbsea : other than
national defense, or the protection of down-trodden humanity.
To this fact and to the additional fact that in. a' national emer
gency our people , have never failed to nut their nnitnrf
behind: the government, - can be" attributed the present position
oi leaaersnip or. me unuea states; in worm affairs today. The
nations of the world look to us for the heln and settlement f
their difficulties and for leadership In disarmament, and the
prevention of .future wars. I
i , ! - ' - M :.......:
