Ladies and gentlemen, let me first say that I am very happy to meet here in San Francisco. I am delighted to have this fine audience and particularly to be associated with my good personal friend and next-door neighbor in the Senate Office Building, your own very able and distinguished Senator, Bill Knowland. SENATOR SPARKMAN'S OPENING STATEMENT Ten years ago the United States was at war. Thousands of Americans had already been killed or maimed on distant battlefronts. Thousands of others were to suffer the same fate before the final stilling of the guns. Other Our painful experience in World War II was not unique. nations underwent the same ordeal. For some, the tragedy was less; for others, it was more. For all who participated in World War II, however, the scars were deep. And out of the common suffering which the war engendered came a hope, a universal hope, that somehow mankind would put a stop to the repeated scourages of war. Your people of San Francisco know something of that hope. Yours is an intimate acquaintance with it. For it was in this city, 10 years ago, that the representatives of 51 nations gathered in conference. They came together in an effort to give tangible form to the hope for a stable peace which existed at the time throughout the world. I remember the atmosphere that prevailed then. I remember it well. It was an atmosphere in which human decency was trying to reassert itself after the inhuman indecencies of the war. It was an atmosphere which was alive with the expectation that a pattern of rational relations among nations would replace or at least mitigate the age-old patterns of war and oppression. |
