Now we are engaged in a great civil war, tenting whether that nation, or any nation ho conceived and ho dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field an a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a large sense, we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our power to add or to detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God. shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. Taft’s Confessions The citizens of the United States of America should stuff cotton in their ears when such remarks as this are made in regard to Korea: “We might as well have a declared war,” Senator Taft. United States Senator Wayne Morse in a major policy speech to Congress on Jan. 15, 1951, answering Taft’s outburst. "Surely the Senator from Ohio cannot have forgotten that our action in Korea is part of the I nited Nations action against aggression, and is nothing more than that; and surely the Senator cannot have realized the extreme gravity of his suggestion.” The strange attitude of Senator Taft towards the world situation is shown by his words: “I believe they (Soviets) are still thinking in terms of a slow but steady advance by the methods which they have used up to this time." Comments Senator Morse, "1 fear that this minimizing of the Russian threat has disheartened the free nations and given aid and comfort to those who would destroy us. The Senator has seemed to endorse the pious Soviet claims of their abhorrence of war and their devotion to peace. He has aeemed to support the Russian allegations of warmongering on our part. The Daily Worker, the mouthpiece in the United States of the Kremiln, in a front-page editorial, under date of January 8, entitled ‘Senator Taft’s Valuable Confessions.’ used the Senator’s remarks as proof of the truth of Russian propaganda, as branding President Truman as the enemy of peace, and as exposing our policy of peace as the Big Lie. Pravda has been having a field day with the Senator's thesis that Russia is not likely to start a war. The entire Communist propaganda machine is capitaliizng on this statement to lull the world into a false sense of security and to divide the free nations. “Our goal is peace. In all our defense effort, let it never be forgotten by the people of this and other countries that we want peace and will only depart from it if our liberty and lives are threatened. "We must be aware of our national purpose. What we are really trying to do is to defend our liberties and to assure that they shall not be replaced by the tyranny and terror of a Communist regime. "In order to preserve our liberties, every American citizen must do his duty. Our circumstance is not unlike the colonial days when the early settlers took their stations in the blockhouse when danger threatened from without. All of us today must I m * alert against those who would commit treason againt our purpose. “There are thousands of Communists in our midst today who are ready to stick a dagger in our back at a word from Moscow. As I have said many times, and now repeat, we need to remember that Soviet Russia never moves from the outside in against a nation until she is ready to move from the inside of that nation out to meet her forces coming from without. “Every institution of enlightenment in North America, including the church, lodge, press, radio—every group where free men gather—should join forces in the struggle for peace. We cannot win the peace by wishing for it, nor by blaming the politicians because we do not have it, nor by adopting the fatalistic attitude that war is inevitable, nor by placing all the hlame on our enemies in the war now gripping the world. “But while we must not abandon the struggle for peace nor go to the other extreme of adopting a fatalistic attitude that all-out war is inevitable, the freedom-loving nations must nevertheless build up their strength to the end that the dictators in the Kremlin may he persuaded to the view, before all-out war engulfs us, that Communiât aggression must stop."

"The most improbable yarn I ever heard." said Deems Taylor, “is the one about a missionary named Renault who was captured in 1948 by a tribe of cannibals in French Equatorial Africa. "According to a report in the files out at the U N . just as they were about to roast him over a fire, ahish-kebob style, the mis sionary fell to his knees and asked the Lord to have mercy on his ser vant. Renault. And when the canni- b a 1 chief heard the name, he un tied him and told him to go about his business. "No, it wasn't die prayer that did the trick—it seems that six months before, they had cooked and eaten another gent named Renault and he had turned out to be tough and tasteless."
