And yet, as I have seen with the prosperous my own eyes, farms, the thriving factories and the busy railroads as I have seen the happiness and security and peace which covers our wide land, almost inevitably. I have been compelled to contrast our peace with very different scenes being enacted in other parts of the world. It is because the people of the United States under modem conditions must, for the sake of their own future, give thought to the rest of the world, that I as the responsible executive head of the nation have chosen this great inland city and this gala occasion to speak to you on a subject of definite national importance. Civilization Threatened The political situation in the world, which of late has been growing progressively worse, is such as to cause grave concern and anxiety to all the peoples and nations who wish to live in peace and amity with their neighbors. Some 15 years ago the hopes of mankind for a continuing era of international peace were raised to great heights when more than 60 nations solemnly . pledged themselves not to resort to arms in furtherance of their national aims and policies. The high aspirations expressed in the Briand-Kellog- g peace pact and the hopes for peace thus raised have of late given way to a haunting fear of calamity. The present reign of terror and international lawlessness began a few years ago. well-bein- interference in the internal affairs of other nations or the invasion of alien territory in violation of treaties, and has now reached a stage where the- - very foundations of civilization are seriously threatened. ...The landmarks and traditions which have marked the progress of civilization toward a condition of law, order and justice are being wiped away. Innocent are Victims Without a declaration of war and without warning or justifies-- ; tion of any kind civilians, includ ing women and children, are being ruthlessly murdered with bombs from the air. In times of so call ed peace ships are being attacked without and sunk submarines cause or notice. Nations are fomenting and taking sides in civil warfare in nations that have never done them any harm. Nations claiming freedom for themselves deny it to others. Innocent peoples and nations are being cruelly sacrificed to a greed for power and supremacy which is devoid of all sense of justice and humane consideration. To paraphrase a recent author, Perhaps we foresee a time when men, exultant in the technique of homicide, will rage so hotly over the world that every precious thing will be in danger, every book and picture and harmony, every treasure garnered through two milleniums, the small, the delicate, the defenseless all will be lost or wrecked or utterly destroyed. All Nations In Danger If those things come to pass in other parts of the world, let no one imagine that America will escape, that it may expect mercy, that this western hemisphere win not be attacked and that it will j ur ur ur j m.-alit- y. |
