Initiated. Without the struggle for these ideals a complacent vacuum develops. Now the real struggle for these ideals results in strength. The struggle results in strength. (Long pause.) If there is an honest struggle, an honest effort toward peace and brotherhood, then even if war erupts on a practical level then the psychic development is healthier than if no effort toward peace is made, or if ideals are merely mouthed.

If ideals are merely mouthed, and the idea of peace not seriously strived for, then this is an inferior state, even if there is no war. These men are showing the nation the difference between ideals and actions. Their deaths point the way and will give the impetus that was sorely needed.

They provide crisis points. Your nation, because of its greatness and ideals, must judge itself accordingly against those ideals. It therefore cannot afford to judge itself against others, find itself superior, and rest. Such murders would have been taken for granted in some other nations. Those who point the finger now however know, in one respect, that they have the right to do so since you are the ones who have set forth the ideals of peace and brotherhood. It is against these, then, that you must judge yourself.
