Economic and military power can be developed under the spur of laws and appropriations. But moral power does not derive from any act of Congress. It depends on the relations of a people to their God. It is the churches to which we must look to develop the resources for the great moral offensive that is required to make human rights secure, and to win a just and lasting peace.

I hope the day will never come when the American nation will be the champion of the status quo. Once that happens, we shall have forfeited, and rightly forfeited, the support of the unsatisfied, of those who are the victims of inevitable imperfections, of those who, young in years or spirit, believe that they can make a better world and of those who dream dreams and want to make their dreams come true.

I wouldn't attach too much importance to these student riots. I remember when I was a student at the Sorbonne I used to go out and riot occasionally.

Most of us in the United States believe strongly in free enterprise; but sometimes we forget that freedom and duty always go hand in hand, and that if the free do not accept social responsibility they will not remain free.

Social progress does not have to be bought at the price of individual freedom. Our founders and forebears showed us a better way. I refuse to believe that, in traveling that way, we have come to a dead end.

The search for peace has its high hope and its deep frustrations. But after the frustration, there is always renewed hope . . . We believe that international peace is an attainable goal. That is the premise that underlies all of our planning. We propose never to desist, never to admit discouragement, but confidently and steadily so to act that peace becomes for us a sustaining principle of action. In that, we know we shall not be alone. That is not merely because we have treaties of alliance and bonds of expedience. It is because the spirit of peace is a magnet which draws together many men and many nations and makes of them a fellowship of loyal partners for peace.

The United States, as a first colony in modern history to win independece for itself, instinctively shares the aspirations for liberty of all dependent and colonial peoples. We want to help and not hinder the spread of liberty . . .That is the spirit which animates us. And if we remain true to that spirit, we can face the future with confidence, knowing that we shall be in harmony with those moral forces which ultimately will prevail.

The world will never have lasting peace so long as men reserve for war the finest human qualities. Peace, no less than war, requires idealism and selfsacrifice and a righteous and dynamic faith.
-
There is one extremely simple method of bringing an end to what is called the cold war - observe the Charter of the U.N.; refrain from the use of force or the threat of force in international relations and from the support and direction of subversion against the institutions of other countries.

We must continue to hold fast to the conviction that the peoples and nations who are today not the masters of their won destinies shall become their own masters. If we do all of this, not belligerently, but wisely and soberly; if we remain ever watchful for a sign from the Soviet rulers that they realize that freedom is not something to be frightened by, but something to be accepted, then we may indeed, as these eventful coming months unfold, advance the hopes for peace of the world.

What the world needs to know at this juncture is that our nation remains steadfast to its historic ideals, and follows its traditional course of sharing the spiritual, intellectual and material fruits of our free society, in helping the captives to become free and helping the free to remain free, not merely in a technical sense, but free in the sense of genuine opportunity to pursue happiness, in the spirit of our Declaration of Independence.

You have to take chances for peace, just as you must take chances in war. Some say that we were brought to the verge of war. Of course we were brought to the verge of war. The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art. If you cannot master it, you inevitably get into war. If you try to run away from it, if you are scared to go to the brink, you are lost. We've had to look it square in the face - on the question of enlarging the Korean war, on the question of getting into the Indochina war, on the question of Formosa. We walked to the brink and we looked it in the face.
