It is a fraud, an infamous fraud at that.
1:02:03
Our involvement would be a political fraud
of the worst possible kind!
1:02:11
This...
1:02:12
.. great nation...
1:02:14
.. has long been
a great commercial power.
1:02:18
Now it seems there exists
a growing compulsion to use that power...
1:02:23
.. merely to beget more power,...
1:02:25
.. money merely to beget more money,...
1:02:29
.. irrespective of the true cost
to the nation's soul.
1:02:33
And it is this sickness,...
1:02:34
.. a kind of moral blindness,
commerce without conscience,...
1:02:39
.. which threatens to strike
at the very soul of this nation!
1:02:42
The only remedy that I can see
is to strike back and to strike now!
1:02:46
Hear, hear!
1:02:48
Hear, hear!
1:02:54
Order!
1:02:55
- Bravo!
- As we stand...
1:02:58
As we stand at the end of
this most eventful century,...
1:03:04
.. it seems that we do, after all,
have a genuine opportunity.
1:03:09
One honest chance...
1:03:11
.. to shed our...
1:03:14
.. sometimes imperfect past.
1:03:16
To start again,...
1:03:18
.. to step unshackled...
1:03:21
.. into the next century...
1:03:23
.. and to look our future...
1:03:25
.. squarely and proudly...
1:03:28
.. in the face.
1:03:30
Hear, hear!
1:03:54
You must agree,
it has been a romantic interlude.
1:03:57
You might even confess to some faint
and secret regret at its outcome.
