OUR PRESIDENT SAYS: AM profoundly convinced that the plain people everywhere in the civilized world today wish to live in peace with one another. And still leaders and governments resort to war. Truly, it the genius of man- kind that has invented the weapons of death cannot discover the means of preserving peace, civilization as we know it lives in an evil day. In the XVestern Hemisphere the night of fear has been dispelled. Many of the intolerable burdens of economic depression have been light- ened and, due in no small part to our common efforts, every nation of this hemisphere is today at peace with its neighbors. ln this determination to live at peace among ourselves, we in the Americas make it at the same time clear that we stand shoulder to shoulder in our final determination that others, who, driven by madness or land hunger might seek to commit acts of aggression against us, will find a hemisphere wholly prepared to consult together for our mutual safety and our mutual good. l think l can say that it in the generations to come we can live without war, democratic government throughout the Americas will prove its complete ability to raise the standards of life for those millions who cry for opportunity today. The motto of war is: Let the strong surviveg let the weak die, The motto of p ace: Let the strong help the weak to survive. at
