By the president Of the United

Il has long been our custom to

God for His many blessings and
mercies to us as a nation. This year
we have special and moving cause to

and tragedy of war. 1t has come as
great triumph of right, Complete
victory has brought us, no peace
alone, but the confident promise of a
new day as we'll, in which justice
shall replace force and jealous in
trigue among the nations. Our gal
liant armies have participated in
triumph (which is not married or
strained by another purpose of sell
fish aggression. In a righteous cause
they have won immortal glory and
have nobly served their nation in
serving mankind. God has indeed
been gracious. We have cause for
such rejoicing as, revives and
strengthens in US all the best tradi-
tons of our national history. A new
day shines about US in which our
hearts take new courage and look
forward with new hope to new and
greater duties.
While we render thanks for these
things, let us not forget to seek the
divine guidance in the performance of
those duties and divine mercy and
forgiveness for all errors of act or
purpose and pray that in all that we
do we shall strengthen the ties Of
| friendship and mutual respect upon
which we must assist to build the
new structure of peace and good will
among nations.

penalize them where it was proven
that they had done it than | would,
but this should be done in accord
ance with the laws governing these
acts.
"If those laws are inadequate to
deal with the situation effectively,
then they should be changed, but
the law should be observed, as this
is the only means by which the
common citizen can be assured if
the protection OF the nation in the
exercise OF his rights under those
laws.
Il again want to point out the
danger OF the precedents that are
being established by mobs taking
the law into their own hands, no
matter what the motive may be, and
to urge upon you i'll every commu-
nifty i'll the state to use your inhu-

the enemies of the humble toiler
will use them now and in the future
whenever possible to destroy our
