FREEDOM OF THE SEAS

As America observes this another
Memorial Day in memory of those
who gave their lives for another
cause in another war, there is in
their step a brisker snap, in their
eyes a keener challenge, IN their
hearts a more surging throb While
they pause in tribute 10 other
Americans who gave their blood in
the cause OF freedom, they are re-
newing themselves the pledge that
freedom shall not perish from this
earth while a Yankee heart beats
and a musket's ready.
On Tuesday night OF this week
they had heard their President pro-
nounce again the principals on
which American freedom is built.
They heard him say in their be
half:
We re-assert the American doc
trine of Freedom of the Seas; re-
assert the solidarity of q American
republics and the Dominion of Can
ada in preservation of independence
of the Western Hemisphere. We
have pledged support TO the other
democraeies OF the woodland we
will fulfill that pledge. We in the
Americas will decide whether and
when and where our American in
terests are attacked or our security
threatened.
1t was a spine-tingling ultimatum
that Mr.. Roosevelt issued on Tues
day night 1t was the kind of talk
that Americans know and under
stand. Il was the expressed thought
that makes Americans proud Of be-
ing Americans and determined TO
continue to be so long as their is
breath in their bodies. That is why
We believe they walk today with
squarer shoulders though their
minds may be sad with memories
of loved ones lost in the eternal
struggle of man against man. No
true American will ever be an en-
shaved American. He may be a dead
American, but he will have died
freely that those who come after
may be free.
Freedom OF the Seas!
That challenge has rung out from
American shores since the first
Yankee Clippers turned their prows
into the seven seas in search of fair
and equal trade. Its anthem has Of
ten been challenged but the ensign
IMPLYING il has never come down.
The President renewed the pledge
for Americans that their ships can
and will ply where and when they
choose upon the open seas.
We in the Americas will decide
whether and when and where our
American interests are attacked or
our security threatened, he de-
clared.
And today Americans as a great
nation know that they will continue
to use the free and open seas. They
know what the President meant
when he said the American Navy
was ready to keep open American
sea routes for the transport of A
merican goods to where Americans
wanted to send il. They know that
il those who oppose the right of
American ships to travel when and
where they choose send a torpedo
