We have got to go right on doing what is right, in spite of them.
I am glad to welcome you to this conference for the signing of the treaty of peace with Japan.
It is the job of every American--be he Democrat or Republican-to do all he can to prevent all-out war.
There is no other way to bring about lasting peace than this slow and patient process.
