People Of The Philippines: I Have Returned. By The Grace Of Almighty God Our Forces Stand Again On Philippine Soil—soil Consecrated In The Blood Of Our Two Peoples. We Have Come Dedicated And Committed To The Task Of Destroying Every Vestige Of Enemy Control Over Your Daily Lives, And Of Restoring Upon A Foundation Of Indestructible Strength, The Liberties Of Your People.

We Are Bound No Longer By The Straitjacket Of The Past And Nowhere Is The Change Greater Than In Our Profession Of Arms. What, You May Well Ask, Will Be The End Of All Of This? I Would Not Know! But I Would Hope That Our Beloved Country Will Drink Deep From The Chalice Of Courage.

Here Are Centered The Hopes And Aspirations And Faith Of The Entire Human Race. I Do Not Stand Here As Advocate For Any Partisan Cause, For The Issues Are Fundamental And Reach Quite Beyond The Realm Of Partisan Consideration. They Must Be Resolved On The Highest Plane Of National Interest If Our Course Is To Prove Sound And Our Future Protected. I Trust, Therefore, That You Will Do Me The Justice Of Receiving That Which I Have To Say As Solely Expressing The Considered Viewpoint Of A Fellow American.
