We know ourselves what difficult times we live in. We know equally, and we are conscious of the fact, that with us-all of us at home and overseas-there rests the responsibility whether this form of government will remain, or whether it will fail. It is therefore good that we who meet from all corners of the world to take counsel with one another, should, at any rate among ourselves, hold this torch of freedom alight, and alive, until other nations come to see our ways.
