Today the nation staggers beneath the weights of troubles stacked upon problems multipled by hardship. Peace and unity seems to have yielded the moment to violent and discord. We exist as a political unit on a map but we do not prosper as brothers nd sisters in one nation, under one flag and in pursuant of one accord. ''
