I shall like to help everyone. We all want to help one another humans are like that. We want to live by eachothers happines, not by each others misery. We do not want to hate and despise one another. In this world theres room for everyone and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of live can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose steped us into misery and bloodshed. We have devloped speed but we have shut ourselves in, machinery that gives abundence has left us in want. Our knowledge has left us cynical, our celverness hard and unkind. We think to much and feel to little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than celverness we need kindness and gentelness. Without these qualities life will be violent, and all will be lost. The airplane and the raido has brought us closer together, the very nature in these creations cries out for the goodness in men, cries out for universal brotherhood, for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions though out the world, millions of disparing men, women and little children. Victims of a system that makes men tourture and imprison innocent people. For those who can hear me i say do not dispair, the misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass and dictators die and the power they took from the people will return to the people and so long as men die liberty will never perish. Soldiers dont give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you and slave you, who regiment your lives, tell you what to do , what to think , and what to feel. Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattel. Use you as cannon fire! Dont give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines, you are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts. You dont hate, only the unloved hate, the unloved and the unnatural. Soldiers dont fight for slavery, fight for liberty. In the 17th chapter of St. Luke it says " The kingdom of God is in man, not one man, nor a group of men, but in all men. In you, you the people have the power! The power to create machines, the power to create happiness. You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy, let us use that power, let us all unite! Let us fight for a new world, a decent world, that will give men to work and give youth a future, and old age a security. By the promise of these things brutes have risen to power, but they lie! They do not fulfill that promise, they never will, dictators free themselves, but they inslave the people. Now let us fight to fulfill that promise, let us fight to free the world. To do away with national barriers, to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason. A world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness. Soldiers in the name of democracy let us all unite!!
