Test. Test. Rebirth through stone heaps. Reducing human living through animal level. Rebirth through rats, epidemics. [ baby crying ] nothing reduces population like plague. Rebirth through hunger. A starved nation cannot be a sturdy one, and malnutrition leaves a lingering mark. Rebirthed through death. Reducing and withering the mass populations so they could release the strongest mentally and physically and come what may, and thereby civilization shall decline. Nor was this final strategy of rebirth through common ruins Something Special born of adolf hitler only. The german generals staff, like the jap general staff, who were old hands at it. These were the worlgds of the general talking before the Berlin Military Academy at the outset starvation works more effectively, especially among the young. Starvation works more effectively, especially along the young. Unquestionably, of all of the victims in the program against whole populations, the most pitiful had been the most precious, the young. Even after liberation, the airs to the access legacy of fear, hunger and hate, to be nourished in an atmosphere of desperation for a destiny of despair, calculated to supply the new tools, the new hitlers, tojos and mussolinis of an even bloodier tomorrow. But with the lesson of two world wars to learn from, if any of us among the United Nations give fascism a cunningly open plan to revival by being a fool to neglect this, or this, the access legacy in action as the true cost in terms of tomorrow begins to show itself, dissension, distress, despair, doubt, defeatism, fertile soil for the seeds of world war iii and significant signs of acts of success in this, the last battle. And if we permit this to be the face of the future, then truly there could be only one place in which to rest the full burden of blame, on ourselves. On ourselves. Including those of us strolling through the seeds of nations who trees have not been stripped by shrapnel, and whose homes have suffered neither burned no blast, bearing no scorched earth e. In the shop where shortages represent not death but merely temporary discomfort. Walking by schools and grounds where the only screams that had been heard were and are those of children at play, and whose steeples stretch towards god unshadowed by the bombers wing. In this atmosphere the imagination, no matter how vivid, cannot convey the full meeting of what others endure and still endure. But to those homes wherein the fateful telegrams had been delivered and blue stars given way to gold has become the evidence that zbeeography is no bar to tragedy. Justice to all homes has been given the warning that people who dont understand history are doomed to repeat it. To many men and nations theres come the conviction that the world simply cannot survive another war. Thus even as they meet in the hope of ending war forever, the United Nations looked to the First Organization created in their name, unrra. United relief and rehabilitation administration. Unrra, much criticized, much praised. To which it pumped into the arms and veins around of for those who serve as the plasma of peace. Items from Six Continents and seven seas. An outpouring from each nations hard to each warstricken friend and neighbor. Hundreds of private relief and welfare organizations blend their efforts through unrra, along with the contributions of the governments themselves. As all of the ravaged areas, the tired heart of liberated nations fights to regain strength and vigor. And the strong heart of the United Nations working hand in hand to help. A welfare specialist from australia, a doctor from cuba and nurse from belgium, a child expert from england, a they are putist from ohio, canada, norway, south africa, china, operating gee spite the handicaps of varied languages and constructing new International Teamwork which very wisely said the nations will learn to Work Together only by actually working together. And by providing treatment and artificial limbs for the crippled and disabled and teaching occupations that will enable the men to stand on their own feet again, even though the feet themselves be artificial. And with donated shoes learning to be shoe makers so they may later serve their own villages. So the post of rehabilitation begins to beat again in the areas warped and withered by war. It is a pulse that beats feverishly at first, post destination, why many labor and strive for whatever is at hand that can be brought to hand. And the mounds of supplies seen in the docks and in the warehouses nailed down to inadequate, minute portions, carefully measured out so that all may share and survive and work. And rooms are remade wherever a roof can be found to provide shelter. Part of a glider wing helps repair one house. Discarded gun covers keep the elements out of another. So on on the farm is respiration sought, despite the tolls for the lethal leftovers. For the food supply itself is a matter of life and death. And whenever and wherever fuel can be obtained the smoke arises once more from families stoves and firesides. The return to normalcy takes on many forms, even though it be a nightmare kind of normalcy. Unrra is able to report progress but small in comparison to needs. For each nail driven, 100,000 are needed. For each blanket given, 1,000 more must be given and the same with plows and seed and trucks and medicine, and livestock and vitamins and food to turn rickety bodies into rugged bodies and turn prostrated populations once more into proud and prolific peoples, and all of the other hundreds of items straining and exhausting, straining and exhausting and initial unrra budget of 2 billion, made up of 1 of each contributing nations annual income, 2 billion. Less than the cost of five days of war. Five days of war, without shattered bodies or pain or lost arms, legs, minds. Five days without a single soldier having to give his life. The cutrate price of peace. A peace purchased at a much higher price by men in whose hearts echo the words of thomas paine if there be trouble, let it be in my time that my child may have peace. Peace too for those children already maimed in one war, who must never experience or symbolize another. What seeds of destiny will prout in these ravaged lands within the specter of famine stocks, new furors or new lovers of liberty . The answer, it will hang in the balance for months and years because theres still a long way to go in this last battle, a long way. While men of goodwill every wroo face a challenge to shape the world in which each upcoming generation can walk with hope and confidence, the paths of peace and strive to meet the responsibilities and preserve the victories won by fighting men of the United Nations the hard way and establish once and for all that Even Stronger than the atomic bomb is the human heart.
