Side 364 - I wish to dissipate, if I can, the idle dreams of those who are always telling you that the strength of England depends, sometimes they say upon its prestige, sometimes they say upon its extending its Empire, or upon what it possesses beyond these shores. Rely upon it the strength of Great Britain and Ireland is within the United Kingdom.
Side 374 - ... Tyler Brooke. I live in San Lorenzo. As to my occupation, I would like to say this : As a third-generation American-born citizen, I wish to state emphatically and unequivocally that the entire fabric of my life has been bound inextricably and dedicated to this country's democratic heritage, and that I shall continue in the future as I have done in the past, to urge the extension of its democratic privileges to all citizens, regardless of color or creed.
