The United States Constitution has proved itself the most marvelously elastic compilation of rules of government ever written.

What worries me, especially, is that public opinion over here is patting itself on the back every morning and thanking God for theAtlantic Ocean (and the Pacific Ocean).

Things move with such terrific speed these days, that it is really essential to us to think in broader terms and, in effect, to warn the American people that they, too, should think of possible ultimate results in Europe and the Far East.

Our handicaps exist only in our minds.

I have seen children starving. I have seen the agony of mothers and wives. I hate war.

This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.
