Annual Messagej
Our duty now is to help give sta-
bility to the world. We want ideal-
ism. We want that vision that lifts
men and nations above themselves.
The world has had enough of the
curse of hatred and selfishness, of de-
struction and war. It has had enough
of the wrongful use of material pow-
er. For the nations must bear good
will and charity, confidence and peace.
No more important duty falls on the
government of the United States than
the adequate care of its veterans.
Those suffering disabilities incurred
in the service must have sufficient hos-
pital relief and compensation .

bonus.
