The great task lies before us, and it is our solemn and our sacred duty to see to it that the United Nations comes into being and fulfills its promise with faith in our cause and goodwill in our hearts and determination to work unceasingly toward this end. I am confident that with God's help, we shall reach our goal. Senator Connolly is next to sign for the United States.

The honor of the United Nations, which you are now signing, is a solid structure upon which we can build for a better world. History will honor you for it. Between the victory in Europe and the final victory in Japan in this most destructive of all wars, you have won a victory against war itself. If we had had this charter a few years ago and above all the will to use it, millions now dead would be alive. If we should falter in the future in our will to use it, millions now living will surely die. Now, there's a time for making plans and there's a time for action. The time for action is here now. Let us therefore, each in his own nation and according to its own way, seek immediate approval of this charter and make it a living thing. By this charter you have moved toward the goal for which that gallant leader in this second world struggle worked and fought and gave his life, Franklin D. Roosevelt. This new structure of peace is rising upon strong foundations. Let us not fail to grasp this supreme chance to establish a worldwide rule of reason to create an enduring peace under the guidance of God.
