"For they know, and we know, that if aggression were not checked in Korea, it would only be a matter of time until a new world war brought destruction and misery to all of us."

"We are ready at any time to reach an honorable settlement in Korea, but we will not give in to aggression."

"That is what we have been doing."

"People sometimes say to me, 'I want to help in the defense effort, but I don't know what I can do. Can you tell me?'"
