France is one of these nations. For her to sink would be a loss to all the world.
I wish to say that the Progressive Party is making its appeal to all our fellow citizens without any regard to their creed or to their birthplace.

I care for the great deeds of the past chiefly as spurs to drive us onward in the present.
