1:13:35
Today...
1:13:37
the guns are silent.
1:13:39
A great tragedy
has ended.

1:13:42
I speak...
1:13:44
for the thousands of silent lips
forever stilled...

1:13:48
among the jungles
and the beaches...

1:13:50
and in the deep waters
of the Pacific...

1:13:52
which marked the way.
1:13:54
I pray...
1:13:56
that an omnipotent
Providence...

1:13:59
will summon
all persons of goodwill...

1:14:01
to the realization
of the utter futility of war.

1:14:05
We have known
the bitterness of defeat,

1:14:10
the exultation of triumph,
and from both we have learned...

1:14:14
that there can be
no turning back.

1:14:17
We must go forward
to preserve in peace...

1:14:20
what we won in war.
1:14:22
The destructiveness
of the war potential...

1:14:26
through progressive advances
in scientific discovery...

1:14:29
has in fact
now reached a point...

1:14:32
which revises
the traditional concept of war.

1:14:37
War...
1:14:39
the most
malignant scourge...

1:14:42
and greatest sin
of mankind...

1:14:45
can no longer be controlled,
only abolished.

1:14:53
We are in a new era.
1:14:57
If we do not devise...
1:14:59
some greater
and more equitable means...
