"I want to see vast fields of them floating on the surface of earth's
atmosphere, fields through which no invading space-ships from the
void outside can make their way. For Providence may not again aid our
efforts. Man is probably but one being among the universe's countless
races of living creatures, and he can only hold his planet against
others by his own wisdom and strength. Never again can he feel the
false security that was ours before these space-visitors came."
This warning, surely, we are heeding; yet even with the loss of that
old false security, we do not face the future with fear. Whatever
beings of power the universe holds, we realize now that we too are
beings of power. We have fought for our planet against the space
visitors and have held it. As a race we have come of age.
