33. Rôle d'Honneur

Today, France is in the process of recovering from the effects of over four years of enemy occupation. She faces the future with that determination and courage so typical of her people. Perhaps her attitude can best be expressed by quoting from Louis Pasteur's farewell message to the world on the occasion of his 70th birthday.

I quote, "Gentlemen - you bring me the greatest happiness that can be experienced by a man whose invincible belief is that science and peace will triumph over ignorance and war. Never permit the sadness of certain hours which pass over Nations to discourage you. Have faith that in the long run the Nations will learn to unite - not for destruction but for cooperation - and that the Future will belong not to the conquerors but to the saviors of mankind." ●
