I should like to help everyone if possible;

We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that.

We want to live by each others' happiness, not by each other's misery.

We don't want to hate and despise one another.

In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich

The way of life can be free and beautiful,

has barricaded the world with hate; has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.

has close to passing to mystery in bloodshed

we have developed speed but we have shut ourselves in

Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.

Our knowledge as made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind.

More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.

Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out

for the goodness in man; cries out for universal brotherhood; for the unity of us all.

Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world,

millions of despairing men, women, and little children,

victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.

The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed,

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people

Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to brutes,

men who despise you and enslave you; who regiment your lives, tell you what to do,

Who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle,

Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men

machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men!

You have a love of humanity in your hearts! You don't hate!

Don't fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the seventeenth chapter of St. Luke,

it's written "the kingdom of God is within man", not one man nor a group of men, but in all men!

the power to create machines, the power to create happiness!

You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.

Then in the name of democracy, let us use that power

that will give men a chance to work, that will give youth a future and old age a security.

By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie!

Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people!

Now let us fight to fulfill that promise!

To do away with national barriers! To do away with greed, with hate and intolerance!

in the name of democracy, let us all unite!
