I shall take my voice wherever there are those who want to hear the melody of freedom or the words that might inspire hope and courage in the face of fear. My weapons are peaceful, for it is only by peace that peace can be attained. The song of freedom must prevail.

The artist must elect to fight for Freedom or for Slavery.

I shall take my voice wherever there are those who want to hear the melody of freedom

But the deep desire for peace remained with the American people.

We must join with the tens of millions all over the world who see in peace our most sacred responsibility.

I feel closer to my country than ever. There is no longer a feeling of lonesome isolation. Instead-peace. I return without fearing prejudice that once bothered me . . . for I know that people practice cruel bigotry in their ignorance, not maliciously

Yes, peace can and must be won, to save the world from the terrible destruction of World War III.
