Text of Presidents Address

The tert of President Roose-
Uelts radio address today toI.
lotDS:
The epic struggle of the
human race to govern itself,
Poland for centuries has been
the champion Of FREE e d m.
Through stress and storm
weather her sun shone brightly
or suffered long though tenn
porary eclipse, she has ever
fought to hold aloft the torch
Of human liberty.
Because we hold this ideal Of
liberty in common, ours has
been a long and unbroken
friendship with the people Of
Poland. From the days Of our
struggle to achieve nationhood,
unbroken by any rift through
the century and a half Of our
life as a nation, the American
people and the people of Poland
have maintained a friendship
based upon this common spirit
ual ideal.
General Krzyzanowski, whose
patriotism we commemorate to-
day, is another link to bind us
to the people from which he
came in the full tide Of youth
full promise when shadows lay
over the land which gave him
birth. 1t is a high privilege to
bear witness to the debt which
this country owes to men Of
Polish blood. Gratefully we
acknowledge the services Of
those intrepid champions Of
human freedom-Pulaski and
KosciuSzko-whose very names
are watchwords Of liberty and
whose deeds are part Of the i'm
perishable record Of American
dependence. Out Of the past
they speak to us to bid us guard
the heritage which they helped
to bestow.
They and the millions of other
men and women of Polish blood,
who have united their desti-
nies with those Of America
whether in the days Of Colonial
settlement; in the war to attain
independence; in the hard Strug-
gle out Of which emerged our
national unity: in the great
journeyings across the western
Plains to the slopes Of the Pa
cific; on farm or in town or
city-through all Of our history
they have made their full con-
tribution to the upbuilding Of
our institutions and to the full
fillment Of our national life.
These are the thoughts and re-
Elections that come to mind to
day as we consign to Arlington
National Cemetery the honored
dust of a son Of Poland who
faithfully served the country Of
his adoption. General Khzy-
zanowski was the embodiment
of the Polish ideal of liberty.
Into the making of that ancient
ideal had gone the struggles and
the vicissitudes of thousand

We as a Nation seek spiritual

This will, no doubt, be pooh
poohed in some quarters, possibly
by the commission itself. Such
necessary action is admittedly
"highly embarrassing to the Ad-
ministration," as one gentleman
pointed out. But the condition
is undoubtedly true, although not
as flagrant now as a few years
ago. Denials will be face-savers.
Always Kept Mum?
Important, however, is the fact
the commission refused to make
public Departmental Circular No.
1884," revealing its warning. It
is alleged by those who should
know that such circulars always
have been open to the public, that
"No. 154's" embarrassing charac-
ter caused it to be kept under
cover. The commission says, how
ever, that departmental circulars
are in the nature of private cor
respondence, and always are kept
mum.
Recommendation
If keeping mum is the accepted
rule, q concise statement now re-
posing on the walls at Interior
Department can be aptly recon-
mended:
1T is the privilege of the peo-
pie to be thoroughly and i'm
partially informed Of the Gov
ernment's business, and the re-
sponsibility Of the Government
to provide the information.
