America Stands United

THE American people should not and of course, will
not hold back from any of the duties any of the
sacrifices disclosed President Roosevelt indispensable
to and nseparabe from the serious undertakings which
country is irrevocably committed.
The President as Mr. William Randolph Hearst said
in these newspapers Monday, has underestimate rather
than overestmated the tasks must perform and the
trials must endure
Mr.. Roosevets disclosure of events to come in fact,
said Mr. Hearst, 'is very moderate description of what
we will have to do and undergo"
But if the President is of doubtful uneasy mind
about the willingness capacity of the American people
to up to his estimate of their duties and oyaes
let him be at rest
THE country has reached its decision to approve and
support Mr.. Roosevelt's democraticaly.
And it is the unfailing tradition of country to
accept its democratic decisions unhnchingy to regard
their fullment the and universal obligation
of the entire country and to admit conceive of
promise with the ends we honorably and courageously
seek.
The President wrote Mr. Hearst will receive almost
universal support.
Indeed the President could not ask less and the
situation develops he will in all probability
much
"And we will grant much more and will be glad to
give it,.
I'VE have made decisions a nation.
1--WE must stand by decisions.
1--WE must unite in standing by the government
have elected and the policy have determined upon.
There is only way out of situation and that
is by VICTORY"
THERE is no occasion for regret or apology that the
American people have all been of mind in the
aoft ha atte he
decisions in these grave matters
1t does not loyalty that free men approach
great decisions vital policies and historic events with
varying opinions.
President Roosevelt wisely realized and acknowledged
that fundamental his historic address to the White
House correspondents and the nation last week.
He granted that the present course of the nation
which urged had national approval only after great
debate which not limited to the halls of Congress
but argued in every forum available to the people
"over every cracker barrel in the land Mr. Roosevelt
admitted.
But he said that when the decision finally made
it "by the American people themselves"
THE only possible measure of loyates now
therefore, is complete fulfment of what has
been deemed majority of to be in the best interest
of all of us.
The great debate of which the President speaks was
long, it thorough and it was free.
It was not conducted under any restraint sup
preston of dissent.
1t was not stultifed by intimidation fear of
reprisals.
1t carried out to its fatefu conclusion in
accordance with free and democratic processes honor
and cherish and those whose contentious failed to
prevail have less obligation to perform the tasks
decided upon than those who argued the cause which
DID PREVAIL
THE principles and practices and processes of Ameri-
/ can DECISION have been fully and wholly honored
and observed.
Now let unite, and be one people, in honoring
and observing the principles and practices and processes
of American ACTION.
We have set ourselves fixed American task-a very
grave and difficult indeed which challenges to
utmost effort. Let undertake it without fear or
dissent, and complete it promptly and well as it is
possible for courageous and patriotic free to do
