I believe. because somehow our feet have strayed from the paths blazed by the founders of our Republic. Theirs was the then unique conception that a nation would surely prosper if its roots were firmly imbedded in the eternal moral values and if it. accordingly. extended the blessings of equality of opportunity and treatment to all its citizens. Our dedication to that fundamental belief attracted to our youthful Nation millions of immigrants. rich and poor. privileged and underprivileged. and America quickly grew to sturdy gianthood. Somehow. however. we seem to have made the tragic mistake of attributing our phenomenal rise to world leadership to material things and have. in the process. transferred to things material our hopes for the present and the future. In the past 2 decades we built the worlds most powerful Navy. and the largest Air Force. the first Abomb. and shortly thereafter the even mightier Hbomb. while simultaneously expanding the worlds largest productive capacity in consumer goods.
