Canadian-American relations for many years did not develop spontaneously. The example of accord provided by our two countries did not come about merely through the happy circumstance of geography. It is compounded of one part proximity and nine parts good will and common sense.

We can never tell what is in store for us.

In this shrinking world, it is futile to seek safety behind geographical barriers. Real security will be found only in law and in justice.

We seek a peaceful world, a prosperous world, a free world, a world of good neighbors, living on terms of equality and mutual respect, as Canada and the United States have lived for generations.

At this time, we should renew our faith in God. We celebrate the hour in which God came to man. It is fitting that we should turn to Him. . .

But all of us, at home, at war, wherever we may be, are within reach of God's love and power. We can all pray. We should all pray.
