Sees Britain Putting End
To Dictators' Conquests

democracy has gone into action.
We know that although Prus-
sian autocracy was bad enough
naziiSm is far worse.
Nazi forces are not seeking mere
notifications in colonial maps or
IN minor European boundaries.
They openly seek the destruction
of all elective systems of govern
ment on every eontinent-includ-
ing our own; they seek to establish
systems of government based on
the RECOMMENDATION of all human
beings by a handful of individual
rulers who have seized power by
force.
These men and their hypnotized
followers call this a new order. II
is not new. 1t is not order. Fol
order among nations presupposes
something enduring-some system
of Justice under which individuals
over a long period of time, arc
willing to live. Humanity will never
permanently accept system i'm

duction that does not stop and
should not pause.
And so, tonight, I am appealing
to the heart and to the mind of
every man and every woman
within our borders who love lib
erty. l ask you TO consider the
needs of our nation at this hour,
and to put aside all personal diff
ferences until our victory is won.
The light of democracy must be
kept burning. To the perpetuation
of this light. each must do his own
share. The single effort of one in
dividual may seem very small.
But there are 100 million individ-
uals over here. There are many
more millions in Britain and else

Keep Flame Alight

1t is not enough for us merely
to trim the wick. or polish the
glass. The time has come when
we must provide the fuel in ever
increasing amounts to keep the
flame alight.
There will be no divisions of
party or section or race or nation
atty or religions. There is not one
among us who does not have a
stake in the outcome of the effort
in which we are now engaged.
A few weeks ago / spoke of four
freedoms freedom of speech and
expression. freedom of every per-
son to worship God in his own
way, freedom from want, freedom
from fear. They are the ultimate
stake.
They may not be Immediately
attainable throughout the world
but humanity does move toward
those ideals through democratic
processes. If we fail-if democracy
is superseded by slavery-ther
those four freedoms or even the
mention of them will become for
hidden things. Centuries will pass
before they can be revived.

This record speaks for itself
Representative John Mccormack OF
Massachusetts, majority leader of
the House, in his address to Con-
gress on June %, 1896, stated with
absolute correctness that the SIM
pie ard obvious way for the rulers
of Soviet Russia to convince the
world of their sincerity is to Iber-
ate the hundreds of religious pris-
oners still in Soviet detention camps
and to permit that true freedom of
religion which we enjoy in the
United States.
The Soviet Union is now in NOR
tai combat with a foe whose re-
ligious principles and practices are
equally detestable. The President
Of the United States has 1t in his
power at this moment to make a
historic contribution to the cause
of true freedom. He will do this
if he will undertake to induce the
authorities of Soviet Russia to re-
move the unjustifiable discrimina-
tions still in practice and restore
to the long suffering Russian peo-
pie that first shining jewel among
the four freedoms to which the
Government and people of the
United States are irrevocably COM
mitted.
If he can achieve this fine serv-
ice to humanity, am confident he
will receive a new measure of sup
port from certain quarters which
may astonish him and which will
prove a precious ally in the mo-

of the arrangements concluded here.
Mr.. Hartman said a group OF ex-
perts, headed by Col. Philip R. Fay

deal with the problems of receipt,
maintenance of supplies and other
leftover details. This group will be
augmented in the future with other
officers and civilians as American
aid takes form on a large scale, Mr.
Hartman added.
Sense of Urgency in Talks.
To use the words of Lord Beaver
brook:
THE speed with which the mate
