The problem confronting us today is far more serious than thedestiny of any political system or even of any nation. The problem is the destiny of man：frst, whether we can make this planet safe for man；second, whether we can make it ft for him. This I believe—that man today has all the resources to shatter his fears and go on to the greatest golden age in history, an age which will provide the conditions for human growth and for the development of the good that resides within man, whether in his individual or his collective being. And he has only to mobilize his rational intelligence and his conscience to put these resources to work.
