declared, completed a combination
of nations who shave placed every
citizen in their countries either in
the fighting forces or in the fac
tories that produce the modern
weapons of total war, or on the
farms that produce the food for
fighting men and the war work
ers." He concluded his speech with
the following remarks:
"We must meet and excel their
armed forces and their workers
organized and driven by their mil
itary police system through the
voluntary cooperation of free
people. We must meet the result
of their collective effort through
the efforts of a nation working
through the free institution Of our
democratic plan of life. That is
the challenge and that is the re-
quirement.
eve here on the home front of
America are neither justified nor
required to be concerned about the
manner in which the young Amer
leans of the fighting forces will
acquit themselves. We may and
should be concerned about what
will happen to our men of the
fighting forces but not concerned
how they will conduct themselves
in battle. On every occasion that
these young Americans of this war
have encountered the veteran jap
anese they have proved themselves
better lighting men ship by ship,
plane by plane, squad by squad.
sour Concern must be about how
we will acquit ourselves here on
the home front. Here we must, if
America is to live, if our sons and
brothers on the fighting fronts are
to be equipped with the weapons
that will give them an equal
chance, excel the combined effort
of the Gestapo driven Nazis and
the army driven Japanese.
"We have not done that yet. We
are not working hard enough
throughout America today. We are
not sufficiently united as a nation
today. Americans must stop fight
ing Americans II we are to survive.
Our enemies for the years immed-
lately ahead are the Nazis, the
Japanese and the remaining armies
of Mussolini. Discussions among
Americans, and the efforts of any
group of Americans 30 take any
thing away from any other group of
Americans or to win even through
normal peacetime contests any do
nestle advantage here at home
weaken and threaten our entire
war effort. We must work togeth-
er or work for Hitler or the Jap
anese.
"There are three principle OBJ
jectives that all Americans must
achieve together. We will win
through to all of these essential
results. First, We must win the
war.
"Then all American effort must
continue united in a national eff
fort to insure the peace for the
generations that are to come. AS
Secretary Hull recently said eve
must enforce peace on the world"
GAS one of the two million
Americans who went to France in
1918 and one of the million Amer
leans who served in the infantry
overseas in the last war l am par
ticularly determined that the vic
tory that all Americans will win in
this war shall not be lost in future
wars as was the peace of 1918.
Here in twenty-four years I find
my sons right back in the same po-
sition that my generation occupied
at the end of the last war, except
today the war is more worldwide,
more dangerous and harder to win.
So towards this second objective of
securing and insuring the peace I
pledge to the people of Western
Maryland my most complete effort
if you elect me to represent you in
the Congress of the United States.
sour third and essential objec-
tive is then to return to the gener-
