He said that the United States is maintaining its ‘military effi- cacy not with any thought of ag- 8ression but solely to bring peace and prosperity to those nations of the world whose economy was ruined by World War II. The task is an ardous one but, he added, he felt confident it would be accomplished. He cx- plained that the resources of the United States are not unlimited, and he called on every nation in the hemisphere to do all in its! power to help in the ‘rebuilding \had requested her dismissal trom,” pshontag es) of DuU Deis of Europe and Asis request onations service teris He praised the defense treaty i Mrs. Malsney.
