The speak- er said ai ancient civilization tbat a traveller standing iamongst the ruins of ancient ,1cities would ask why sthese great nations had per- ished leaving their cities in ruin. He said it was because these nations had been founded upon tyranny, built on injus- tice by slave labour and no such civilization can expect ta last.
