It will be a history momentous in the consequences for the human race. This is a new beginning in the long conquest of peace & security. Many failures lie behind this day, & many difficulties lie ahead. This time we can not afford to ?. We have a great deal of organizational work today before we can complete the security system intended by the Charter. Let us begin now upon this work. If we build sensibly & steadily, and in loyal friendship together we will not betray the hopes of the men & women everywhere that today are placed in our hands.” Applause.
