For that access had carefully contrived their legacy, a goalless meant to drag down the neighbors of the future in one common ruin. Jeopardizing the next generation for the next round. For germany in particular, had a long practice in ripping the entire fabric of our nations life so that a state of injuring weakness could be assured. Deliberation or not. Liberated leadership. The Czech Village that once filled the entire valley and then was wiped so completely off the side of the areas that a need not even rubble remained. Women sent to concern creation camps for which these were the surviving feel. All the men in the boys in the village were shot and buried in one common grave. All the little children sold for 50 marks a piece for various german families, and perhaps lost forever. The effects of which will linger long after men like these, captured as men who destroyed lidece have been condemns. And their big shot counterparts who created in a greater degree assigned design for destruction for lidece civilization. A design detailed by hit the himself on the last days of the third wry as he stated in essence, we shall leave an inheritance of ruins, stone heaps, rats, academics, hunger and death, and thereby western civilization shall decline. Rebirth through ruins. Twisting whole countries into economic ripples. Weakness that will last for decades. Rebirth through stone heaps. Reducing human living to animal level. Rebirth through rats, epidemics. Nothing reduces population like played. Rebirth through hunger. A starved nation cannot be a sturdy, one and malnutrition leaves a lingering mark. Rebirth through death. Reducing and weathering the mass population of all countries within reach, so that the trumans and japanese would state the strongest mentally and physically come what may. And there by civilization child klein. Nor was this final strategy of rebirth through come in ruin Something Special built out of it off hitler itself. Like a staff all hands on it. These were the words of the general speaking at the wars out sat. We germans must number the population of our neighbors, therefore we shall be compelled to destroy all adjacent territories.

Even after a liberation bears to the axis of fear, hunger, and hate, theyve been in desperation for dusting of despair, calculated to supply the new tools. The new hitler,s toe shows, and muscling these even bloodier tomorrow. But with the lesson of two world wars to learn from, if any of us among the United Nations give fascism its cunningly open road to revival, by being fooled into neglecting this, or this, texas lexi in action as the true cross of tomorrow begins to show itself. Dissension, distress, doubt, defeatism, fertile soil for the words of world war see and signs of success, the last battle. If we permit this to be the face of the future, then truly there will be only one place where to which the full burden of the blame. On ourselves. Ourselves. Including those of us strolling on the shaded streets of nations whose trees have not been stripped. Whose homes have suffered neither burn nor blast. On a lush land morneau scar of the scorched earth. On the shot where shortage represents not death but merely temporary discomfort. Walking by schools and grounds were the only screams heard were and are those of children at play. And who steeples stretch towards god, on a bummers wink. In this atmosphere, the imagination a matter how vivid cannot convey the full meaning of what others have endured, that still enter. But in those homes were the fateful telegrams have been delivered, the blue stars have given way to gold, has come to evidence that geography is no bar teacher yoga fee. Just all homes have been given the warning that people who do not understand history are doomed to repeat it. To many men and nations comes the conviction at that the world cannot survive another war. Thus even as they did a nations look towards the First Organization credit under their name. United nations relief and rehabilitation administration. Unra much criticized and much praised. The emergency items of relief and rehabilitation that serve as the plasma of peace. Items from six continents, and seven seas. An out pouring from each nations heart teach were stricken friend and neighbor. Hundreds of private relief and welfare organizations give their contributions through unrra as well as the contributions of the government and south. The tired heart of liberated nations fights to regain strength and vigor. And the strong heart of dinner the nations working her hand in hand to help. A welfare specialist from australia. A doctor from cuba, and enters from and a therapist from ohio. From canada, norway, south africa, china, operating despite the candy caps of language and constructing new lessons in International Teamwork for very wisely has been said that the nations will learn to work together, only by actually working together.

And we donated shoes are a very learning to be shoemaker so they can serve their own villages. And so the post of rehabilitations begins to peak again with the early years warped and withered by war. Its feebly at first. This poses well men labor and stride with whatever is at hand that can be brought to hand. The amounts of supplies scene at the docks and warehouses in minute portions. Carefully measured out so that all men share. And survive. And work. Homes are roommate wherever a roof is found to provide shelter. Part of a brighter wing helps to repair one house. Discovered gun covers keep the elements from another. So also on the farm is restoration sought. Despite the toll from the food supply itself is a matter of life and death itself. And wherever and whenever fuel can be obtained, the smoke rises once again from stoves and family 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 need. For each nail driven on 2000 more arent even needed. For each blanket given 1000 others need to be given. The same with piles and seed, and trucks, and medicine, and livestock, and medicine and food turn prosperous populations into proud and prolific people. And all the hundreds of items straining and exhausting, straining and exhausting, initial unrra budget of two billion dollars made up of 1 of each countrys annual income. Two billion dollars. Less than the cost of five days of war. Five days of war. Without shuttered bodies or pain, or lost arms, legs, minds, five days without a single soldier having to give his life, the cut rate price of peace. Peace purchased at a much higher price in words echoed by trumps pain. If there be trouble, let it be in my time that my child may have peace. These two in one war who may never experience or symbolize another. Whats sheets of destiny will spread from these ravaged ranks and lands where the specter of famine stocks . New killers or new lovers of dignity . The answer. It will hang in the balance for a number of years for there still a long way to go in this last bottle. A long way. While men of goodwill everywhere face the challenge the sheep a world and teach every generation can walk away with, hope peace, preserve the victories won by fighting men in the United Nations the hard way. And established once and for all that Even Stronger than the atomic bomb is the human heart.
