In, the years to come, the President, added, there will be "abundant opportuni ty for qthers to distinguish them selves in the crusade against hate and fear and war." ,"In accepting the honor of your award," said the President's letter, "T ? J 1- 1 I "l am muvea not uuiy- uy a piuiumu gratitude for the recognition, of my earnest efforts in the cause of peace, but also by a very piognant i humility before the vastness of the work still called for by this cause. No Stable Progress Yet " May I not take this occasion to express by respect for the farsight- j ed wisdom of the founder in ar- j ranging for a continuing system of j awftrds? If there were to be but one . such prize or if this were to be the last I could not accept it- I am con vinced that our generation has de spite its wounds made no stable pro- , gress. But it is the better part of wisdom to consider our work as on-| ly begun. It will be a continuing la bor. In the indefinite course of j years before us there will be abun dant opportunity for others to dis tinguish themselves in the crusade against hate and fear and war. "There is indeed a peculiar fit ness in the grouping of these Nobel, awards. The cause of peace and the cause of truth are of one family. I Even as those who love science and devote . their lives to physics or chemistry, even as those who would create new and higher ideals for mankind in literature, even so with those who love peace, there is no limit set. Whatever has been accom plished in the past is petty compared to the glory and promise of the fu-. ture."
