Pessimism Never Won Any Battle.

I Do Not Believe That Any Political Campaign Justifies The Declaration Of A Moratorium On Ordinary Common Sense.

For All That We Cherish And Justly Desire - For Ourselves Or For Our Children - The Securing Of Peace Is The First Requisite.

If We Make Ourselves Worthy Of America's Ideals, If We Do Not Forget That Our Nation Was Founded On The Premise That All Men Are Creatures Of God's Making, The World Will Come To Know That It Is Free Men Who Carry Forward The True Promise Of Human Progress And Dignity.

As For Myself And For The Secretary Of State And Others Involved, Including Those In The Legislature, We Stand Ready To Do Anything, To Meet With Anyone, Anywhere, As Long As We May Do So In Self-respect, Demanding The Respect Due This Nation, And There Is Any Slightest Idea Or Chance Of Furthering This Great Cause Of Peace.

May We Never Confuse Honest Dissent With Disloyal Subversion.
