• "I am confident that we shall succeed in this great task; that the world community will

thereby be freed not only from the suffering caused by war but also, through the better use

of the earth's resources, of the discoveries of scientists, and of the efforts of mankind, from

hunger, disease, illiteracy, and fear; and that we shall in the course of time be enabled to

build a world characterized by economic, political, and social justice for all human beings and

a culture worthy of man's intelligence. “
