The keynote of his address is peace, but contains a blunt warning to aggressors. A giant parade lasting 4 hours climaxes the ceremonies. "Realizing that common sense and common decency alike dictate the futility of appeasement. We shall never try to placate an aggressor by the faults and wicked bargain of trading honor for security. We must be ready to dare all for our country. For history will not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. We must acquire proficiency in defense and display stamina in purpose. We must be willing individually and as a nation to accept whatever sacrifices that may be required of us. A people that values its privileges above its principals soon looses both. The peace we seek then is nothing less than the practice and fulfillment of our whole faith. Among ourselves and in our dealings with others. This signifies more than the selling of guns easing the sorrow of war, more than escape from death, it is a way of life. More than a haven for the weary, it is a hope for the brave. This is the hope that beckons us onward in this century of fire. This is the work that awaits us all. To be done with bravery, with charity, and with prayer to Almighty God. My citizens, I thank you".
