In My Dreams I Hear Again The

The Hated System Of Land Tenure, So Contributory To General Unrest In Asia, Has Been Abolished. Every Farmer Is Now Accorded The Right And Dignity Of Ownership Of The Land He Long Has Tilled.

Our Government Has Kept Us In A Perpetual State Of Fear - Kept Us In A Continuous Stampede Of Patriotic Fervor - With The Cry Of Grave National Emergency. Always There Has Been Some Terrible Evil At Home Or Some Monstrous Foreign Power That Was Going To Gobble Us Up If We Did Not Blindly Rally Behind It By Furnishing The Exorbitant Funds Demanded.

I Stand On This Rostrum With A Sense Of Deep Humility And Great Pride - Humility In The Weight Of Those Great American Architects Of Our History Who Have Stood Here Before Me; Pride In The Reflection That This Home Of Legislative Debate Represents Human Liberty In The Purest Form Yet Devised.

I Believe That The Entire Effort Of Modern Society Should Be Concentrated On The Endeavor To Outlaw War As A Method Of The Solution Of Problems Between Nations.

There Is No Security. Only Opportunity.
