Text Of Inaugural Address

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-R-
Text of President Roosevelt's in
augural address:
On each national day of inaCgu
ration since 1889, the people have
renewed their sense of dedication
to the United States.
In Washington's day the task Of
the people was to create and weld
together a nation.
In Lincoln's day the task of the
people was to preserve that nation
from disruption from within.
In this day the task of the people
is to save that nation and its in
stitutions from disruption from
without.
''The Real Peril"
To US there has come a time, in
the midst of swift happenings, to
pause for a moment and take stock
to recall what u place in his
tory has been, and to rediscover
what we are and what we may be.
If we do not, we risk the real
peril of inaction.
Lives of nations T determined
not by the count of years, but by
the lifetime of the human spirit.
The life of a man is three-score
years and ten: A little more, a
little less. The life of a nation is
the fullness of the measure of its
will to live.
There are men VINO doubt this.
There are men who believe that
democracy, as a form of govern
ment and a frame of life, is limited
or measured by a kind of mystical
and artificial fate-that, for some
unexplained reason, tyranny ano
slavery have become the surglng
wave of the future-and that free
dom is an ebbing tide.
But we Americans know that
this is not true.
Eight years ago, when the life
of this republic seemed frozen by
a fatalistic terror, we proved that
this is not true. We were in the
midst of shock but we acted
quickly, boldly, decisively.
These later years have been liv-
ing years-fruitful years for the
people of this demo :racy. For they
have brought to us greater security
and a better understanding that
life's ideals are to be measured
in other than material things.
Most vital to our present and
our future is this experience of a
democracy which successfully sur
vived crisis at home; put away
many evil things; built new struc-
lures on enduring lines; a n d,
through it all, maintained the fact
of it's democracy.
Remains %Inviolate
For action has been taken within
the three-Way framework of the
constitution of the United States.
The coordinate branches of the
government continue freely to func-
ton. The bill of rights remains
The freedom of elections
is wholly maintained. Prophets of
the downfall of American demo-
cracy have seen their dire pre-
dlctions come to naught.
Democracy is not dying.
We know it because we have
seen it revive-and grow.

DURING Cold EPDEMICS
Beware a ST0PPED-UP n0sE

In these epidemic times it is nee
essary to do everything you can for
protection against i'll health. One
vital safeguard is to keep your nos
trils open so that you can always
breathe through them. Do you
know why?
Nature has lined your nose with
countless tiny hairs which filter out
germs and other impurities from
the air you breathe. The nose also
has intricate passageways that
warm the air, keeping it from en-
tering the lungs too cold. Only by
breathing through your nose both
The Wilmington morning star., 1941-01-21

awake and asleep can you enjoy
this protection.
If your nostrils are stopped up
now due to a cold, take steps to open
them at once. Insert Mentholatum
in each nostril. Mentholatum will
help clear up the local congestion,
reduce the swelling and soothe the
irritated membranes. Then you
can breathe normally through your
nose, as nature intended.
So keep Mentholatum handy, and
as soon as your nostrils begin feel
ing stuffy, apply this soothing ONT
ment.

WAR INTERPRETIVE

all costs was crystal clear in the
Roosevelt inaugural. And it I'M
questionably was the prime ele-
ment in the war situation discuss
ed by the Fuehrer and II Duce.
Desperate Measures
By every sign, the Axis allies are
being forced to desperate measures
in an effort to smash Britain be-
fore American help can turn the
battle odds ~conclusively in British
favor. German and Italian press
commentators speak Of a smash
ing Nazi-Fascist offensive within
less than three months.
1t appears more than likely, how
ever, that lettering Italy cannot
await relief that long. The tide Of
defeat is setting heavily against her
both in east and west Africa and
in Albania.
The immediate purpose of the
Hitler-Mussolini meeting may have
been to weigh the possibilities of
rushing even more German aid to
Italy, particularly in Albania, than
the joint Axis air offensive in the
Mediterranean is apt to provide.
There are grave risks for Hitler
in entering the Greek-Italian war
directly. 1t is reported that the
British eastern command has pre-
pared for intensive bombing of
Rumanian oil wells if any Axis
move in the Balkans skaters Bull
garian or Yugoslavian neutrality
and opens a route for such an at
tack.
That speculation tends to confirm
the impression that it was primari-
ly apprehension over the security
of Rumanian oil sources that caus-
ed Berlin to build up a huge army
in that country and also to stand
aloof from the Greek-Italian war.
Yet it might be that II Duce sought
the meeting with Hitler to expose
at first hand the gravity of Italy's
position and urge that the joint
air-offensive was not enough to
save her.
Adds To Picture
A wholesale Italian retreat in
east Africa under pressure of Brit
ish troops and Ethiopian tribesmen
added to the unhappy Italian pic
ture the Axis mates had to con-
template.
BY falling back into Italian Fri
trea, the Fascist forces in that thea
ter r risking being penned up
with their backs to the British-con-
trolled Red Sea. They are cut off
from home. Nazi and Italian air
craft pecking at Suez can aid them
little. It is a thousand-mile air
jaunt for the Axis f1iers from their
closest bases to the western end of
the Canal-half as far again to
the east African fighting fronts.
Whatever its purpose, however,
this fifth meeting of the Axis wal
lords was quite a different affair
from any of the other four sessions
when they gathered to discuss
sharing spoils of victory. Britain
has baked them Of complete sue
cess for sever months, and the
American help-Britain program
c%onfronts them with the fact that
time is working on Britain's side.
Whatever they do must be done
soon.
The very circumstances of the
meeting and the made-in-Berlin
smoke screen thrown up about it
until it was over are significant.
Greater efforts than ever before
we're made to shroud the fact of
the conference as we'll as it's site
in mystery. That was itself a tri-
butte to the rising tempo of British
