　　mr. speaker, members of the 77th congress:

　　i address you, the members of this new congress, at a

moment unprecedented in the history of the union. i use

the word “unprecedented” because at no previous time

has american security been as seriously threatened from

without as it is today.

　　since the permanent formation of our government under

the constitution in 1789, most of the periods of crisis

in our history have related to our domestic affairs. and,

fortunately, only one of these-the four-year war between

the states-ever threatened our national unity. today,

thank god, 130,000,000 americans in forty-eight states

have forgotten points of the compass in our national

unity.

　　it is true that prior to 1914 the united states often

has been disturbed by events in other continents. we have

even engaged in two wars with european nations and in a

number of undeclared wars in the west indies, in the

mediterranean and in the pacific, for the maintenance of

american rights and for the principles of peaceful

commerce. but in no case has a serious threat been raised

against our national safety or our continued

independence.

　　what i seek to convey is the historic truth that the

united states as a nation has at all times maintained

opposition-clear, definite opposition-to any attempt to

lock us in behind an ancient chinese wall while the

procession of civilization went past. today, thinking of

our children and of their children, we oppose enforced

isolation for ourselves or for any other part of the

americas.

　　that determination of ours, extending over all these

years, was proved, for example, in the early days during

the quarter century of wars following the french

revolution. while the napoleonic struggle did threaten

interests of the united states because of the french

foothold in the west indies and in louisiana, and while

we engaged in the war of 1812 to vindicate our right to

peaceful trade, it is nevertheless clear that neither

france nor great britain nor any other nation was aiming

at domination of the whole world.

　　and in like fashion, from 1815 to 1914-ninety-nine

years-no single war in europe or in asia constituted a

real threat against our future or against the future of

any other american nation.

　　except in the maximilian interlude in mexico, no

foreign power sought to establish itself in this

hemisphere. and friendly strength; it is still a friendly

strength.

　　even when the world war broke out in 1914 it seemed

to contain only small threat of danger to our own

american future. but as time went on, as we remember, the

american people began to visualize what the downfall of

democratic nations might mean to our own democracy.

　　we need not overemphasize imperfections in the peace

of versailles. we need not harp on failure of the

democracies to deal with problems of world

reconstruction. we should remember that the peace of 1919

was far less unjust than the kind of pacification which

began even before munich, and which is being carried on

under the new order of tyranny that seeks to spread over

every continent today.

　　the american people have unalterably set their faces

against that tyranny.

　　i suppose that every realist knows that the

democratic way of life is at this moment being directly
