Ir. Roosevelt and King Haakon of Norway 



PEACE is generally good in itself, but it is never the 

 highest good unless it comes as the handmaid of 

 righteousness ; and it becomes a very evil thing if it serves 

 merely as a mask for cowardice and sloth, or as an instru- 

 ment to further the ends of despotism or anarchy. No 

 man is worth callings, man who will not fight rather than 

 submit to infamy. . . . No nation deserves to exist if it 

 permits itself to lose the stern and virile virtues. 



— From Mr. Roosevelt's Nobel Prise address, in the 

 National Theatre, Christiania.
