1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

3. read the following excerpt from rudyard kipling's "the white man's burden":

take up the white man's burden—
and reap his old reward:
the blame of those ye better,
the hate of those ye guard—
the cry of hosts ye humour
(ah, slowly! ) toward the light: —
"why brought he us from bondage,
our loved egyptian night? "

take up the white man's burden—
ye dare not stoop to less—
nor call too loud on freedom
to cloke your weariness;
by all ye cry or whisper,
by all ye leave or do,
the silent, sullen peoples
shall weigh your gods and you.

take up the white man's burden—
have done with childish days—
the lightly proferred laurel,
the easy, ungrudged praise.
comes now, to search your manhood
through all the years
cold, edged with dear-bought wisdom,
the judgment of your peers!
