 :

The New England!



The New France!



No! The Land of all Continents!



No, never! never! The New Germany!



Do you hear that? Do you hear?



Why continue with this litany of names? They merely indicate the economic, political, social and intellectual importance which the whole world attaches to the New Continent, and what great hopes are associated with its future. That is why it is called the Land of Hopes.



Then for the time being you’d better just call it the Land of Many Names. But it will bear only a single name.



Which one?



I don’t know yet. But it will bear the name of the one to whom it will belong.
