Americans Never Quit.

I Am Concerned For The Security Of Our Great Nation; Not So Much Because Of Any Threat From Without, But Because Of The Insidious Forces Working From Within.

We Must Offer The World Leadership Designed To Advance The Goal Of Universal Progress And Enduring Peace.

We Have Known The Bitterness Of Defeat And The Exultation Of Triumph, And From Both We Have Learned There Can Be No Turning Back. We Must Go Forward To Preserve In Peace What We Won In War. A New Era Is Upon Us. Even The Lesson Of Victory Itself Brings With It Profound Concern, Both For Our Future Security And The Survival Of Civilization. The Destructiveness Of The War Potential, Through Progressive Advances In Scientific Discovery, Has In Fact Now Reached A Point Which Revises The Traditional Concepts Of War.

In This Situation, It Becomes Vital That Our Own Country Orient Its Policies In Consonance With This Basic Evolutionary Condition Rather Than Pursue A Course Blind To The Reality That The Colonial Era Is Now Past And The Asian Peoples Covet The Right To Shape Their Own Free Destiny. What They Seek Now Is Friendly Guidance, Understanding, And Support - Not Imperious Direction - The Dignity Of Equality And Not The Shame Of Subjugation.

No Man Is Entitled To The Blessings Of Freedom Unless He Be Vigilant In Its Preservation.
