That is why today, after sixteen years of effort, the great question
confronting this body is whether our cherished hopes for peace and progress
and freedom are to be destroyed by *kess tactics of terror and disruption --
whether contempt for the views of mankind shall raise us to the heights of the
depths
challenge or sink us to new degxees of despair -- whether aggression is to be
rewarded with indifference, and intimidation with fear and submission -- and,
above all, whether the "foul winds of war" can be leashed in time to free the
cooling winds of reason.
