Elementary‐ Global View ‐ Presidential Speech II
(C0129)
A: We now stand ten years past the midpoint of a century
that has witnessed four major wars among great nations.
Three of these involved our own country. Despite the
carnage of these conflicts, America is today the strongest,
the most influential and most productive nation in the
world. We are understandably proud of this preeminence,
yet we realize that America’s leadership and prestige
depend, not merely upon our unmatched material progress,
riches and military strength, but on how we use our power
in the interests of world peace and human betterment.
A: Throughout America’s adventure in free government,
such basic purposes have been to keep the peace; to foster
progress in human achievement, and to enhance liberty,
dignity and integrity among peoples and among nations.
A: We pray that peoples of all faiths, all races, all nations,
may have their great human needs satisfied; that those now
denied opportunity shall come to enjoy it to the full; that
all who yearn for freedom may experience its spiritual
blessings; that those who have freedom will understand,
also, its heavy responsibilities; that all who are insensitive
to the needs of others will learn charity; that the scourges
of poverty, disease and ignorance will be made to
disappear from the earth, and that, in the goodness of time,
all peoples will come to live together in a peace
guaranteed by the binding force of mutual respect and
love.
A: Now, on Friday noon, I am to become a private citizen.
I am proud to do so. I look forward to it. Thank you, and
good night.
