"I shall from now on try my best and most sincerely and call on all my wisdom and ability to face the challenge of reality with fortitude and determination in company with all my compatriots of the nation. I shall make careful plans and seek judicious judgments to attain the goals of national construction. I shall make every sacrifice to de­monstrate my loyalty and give myself to the service of winning the final victory for national recovery and reconstruction together with all the people of the country"
