^^Americans can rightly be proud of the fact
that we are a peace-loving people. That our aim
as a nation is to strive to improve human welfare,
with,freedom and justice for all. * Such a people
is always slow to anger, tolerant and patient.
. But when patience is exhausted, a peace-loving
people can turn its peace-time skills into weap-
ons of fierce and righteous wrath. There is only ,
one way.such a nation could be enslaved That
Would be through propaganda that misleads!
through lack of knowledge, and of truth. Arne’-'
ica s greatest strength is... freedom of the printed
word... to give the people truth, truth that builds
freedonVStlhougfy. of word, and of vision.*This
great Freedom tempefs-tjie steel out of which a
nation and a people can forge mighty swords.
