He began to say that the government does not want to leave the Greek government alone. The country was not rich and was completely destroyed when liberated from German control. They were let without funds and the government has asked for assistance before they are taken over by Communists. Since the United States does not want this they want to supply that assitance. No other nation has the kind of money the United States has and Britain who had been helpign them was running out. The United Nations were not in the position to help. No government is perfect and the Greek government had been running in chaos. Turkey also needs the United States attention. It is just as important as Greece and has asked for our help which Britian cannot give. It is important to perserve order in the Middle East.

We need to give them money or the alternative is much more detramental to the United States on the whole.

Summary:
He begins by saying that this is the time to speak the truth and that the Nation will revive itself and eventually prosper. The nation faces a common difficulty that has caused a bad economy and high rates of unemployment. But there is hope, it is not the end of the world,and there is still so much to be thankful for. The lending of more money may not happen be the best and those who caused this problem have fled from their "high seats". Happiness is not just in the possession of money but also in personal achievement and satisfaction. We need to recognize that our material wealth is false when is comes to the standard of success.

Summary:
This pact was in order to discuss the war as an instrument of national policy. Many countries signed this stating that they would not go to war with each other again. If this worked then it would solidify the peace between the countries and make for a better world atmosphere. Also, the hope was that using this treaty as an example other countries would follow in their footsteps and also come up with their own treaties for peace. These countries do not want war and want to find a different way to solve conflicts that come between them. It will be the duty of each government to respect this treaty and keep their promise.
