The Outlook Of The World

You Convey Too Great A Compliment When You Say That I Have Earned The Right To The Presidential Nomination. No Man Can Establish Such An Obligation Upon Any Part Of The American People. My Country Owes Me No Debt. It Gave Me, As It Gives Every Boy And Girl, A Chance. It Gave Me Schooling, Independence Of Action, Opportunity For Service And Honor. In No Other Land Could A Boy From A Country Village, Without Inheritance Or Influential Friends, Look Forward With Unbounded Hope. My Whole Life Has Taught Me What America Means. I Am Indebted To My Country Beyond Any Human Power To Repay.

Reports To The Surgeon General Represent The Final Word Upon The Efficient And Devoted Sense Of Responsibility Of Our People In This Obligation To Our Fellow Citizens. Overwhelmingly They Confirm The Fact That The General Mortality Rate, Infant Mortality Rate, Epidemics, The Disease Rate - Are Less Than In Normal Times. There Is But One Explanation. That Is, That Through An Aroused Sense Of Public Responsibility, Those In Destitution And Their Children Are Receiving Actually More Adequate Care Than Even In Normal Times.

In The Great Mass Of Our People There Are Plenty Individuals Of Intelligence From Among Whom Leadership Can Be Recruited.

Our Individualism Is Rooted In Our Very Nature. It Is Based On Conviction Born Of Experience. Equal Opportunity, The Demand For A Fair Chance, Became The Formula Of American Individualism Because It Is The Method Of American Achievement.

Truth Alone Can Stand The Guns Of Criticism.
