[Charlie Chaplin]
I'm sorry
But I don't want to be an emperor
That's not my business
I don't want to rule or conquer anyone
I should like to help everyone if possible
Jew, Gentile, Black Man, White
We all want to help one another, human beings are like that

We want to live by each other's happiness
Not by each other's misery
We don't want to hate and despise one another
And this world has room for everyone
And the good Earth is rich
And can providе for everyone
Thе way of life can be free and beautiful
But we have lost the way

Greed has posioned men's souls
Has barricaded the world with hate
Has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed
We have developed speed
But we have shut ourselves in
Machinery that gives us abundance has left us in want
Our knowledge has made us cynical
Our cleverness, hard and unkind
We think too much
And feel too little
More than machinery
We need humanity
More that cleverness
We need kindness and gentleness

Without these qualities life will be violent
And all will be lost

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together
The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men
- cries out for universal brotherhood
- for the unity of us all
Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world
- millions of despairing men, women, and little children
- victims of a system that makes men torture
And imprison innocent people
To those who can hear me, I say
- do not despair
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed
- the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress
The hate of men will pass
And dictators die
And the power they took from the people
Will return to the people
And so long as men die
Liberty will never perish

Soldiers!
Don't give yourselves to brutes
- men who despise you
- enslave you
- who regiment your lives
- tell you what to do what to think and what to feel!

Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!

You are not machines!

You are not cattle!

You are men!

You have the love of humanity in your hearts!
You don't hate!

Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural!

Soldiers!
Don't fight for slavery!
Fight for liberty!

In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written:
"the Kingdom of God is within man"
- not one man nor a group of men, but in all men!

In you!
You, the people have the power
- the power to create machines
The power to create happiness!

You, the people, have the power
To make this life free and beautiful
To make this life a wonderful adventure
Then - in the name of democracy
- let us use that power
- let us all unite

Let us fight for a new world
- a decent world that will give men a chance to work
- that will give youth a future and old age a security

By the promise of these things
Brutes have risen to power

But they lie!

They do not fulfill that promise
They never will!

Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people!

Now let us fight to fulfill that promise!
Let us fight to free the world
- to do away with national barriers
- to do away with greed
With hate and intolerance

Let us fight for a world of reason
A world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness

Soldiers!
In the name of democracy, let us all unite
