03:21 All I can say now is it is time that we took Milton's advice.
03:24 Let England show her precedence in teaching the nations how to live.
03:26 Before these terrible weapons get into the hands of ten twenty, thirty nations, weapons which if ever used will cause unimaginable destruction and produce terrible effects generations as yet unbor.
