The broad oceans which have
been heralded in the past as our
protection from attack have be-
come endless bsttiefields on which
we are constantly being challenged
by our enemies.
We must all understand and
face the hard fact that our job
now Is to fight at distances which
extend all the way around the
globe.
We fight AZ these vast distances
because that is where our enemies
sre. Until our flow of supplies
gives us clear superiority. we must
keep on striking our enemies wher-
ever and whenever we can meet
them. even II. for a while. we have
10 yield ground. Actually. we are
taking q heavy toll of the enemy
every day that goes by.
SUPPLY LINES VITAL
We must fight at these vast dis
tances to protect our supply lines
and our lines OF communication
with our allies--protect these lines
from the enemies who are bending
every ounce OF their strength, striv-
Ing against time. to cut them. The
object Of the Nazis and the Japanese
is to separate the United States,
Britain. China and Russia. and TO
isolate them one from another. so
that each will be surrounded and
cut off from sources of supplies
and reinforcements. II Is the old
familiar axis policy Of divide and
conquer"
There are those who still think
In terms OF the days of sailing
ships. They advise us TO pull our
war ships and our planes and our
merchant ships to our own home
waters and concentrate solely on
last-ditch defense. But let me IL
lustrate what would happen II we
followed such foolish advice.
Look at your map. Look at the
vast area OF China, with its mil
lions of fighting men. Look at the
vast area OF Russia. with its power

might. Look at the British Isles.

JAPAN HAS ADVANTAGE

In this battle area, Japan has
had an obvious initial advantage.
For she could fly even her short
range planes to the points of at
tack by using many stepping
stones open to her-bases In a

his attempt To destroy us. In a

tion-and that word discretion"

This is war. The American peo-
pie want to know, and will be told.
the general trend Of how the war
Is going. But they do not wish to
help the enemy any more than our
fighting forces do; and they will
pay little attention TO the rumor-
mongers and poison peddlers in
our midst.
To pass from the realm OF rumor
and poison to the field of facts:
The number of our officers and
men killed in the attack on Pearl
Harbor on December 7 was 2.340,
and the number wounded was 946.
OF all the combatsnt ships based
on Pearl Harb or battleships,
heavy cruisers. light cruisers, air.
craft carriers. destroyers and SUBJ
marines-only three were perma-
nently put out of commission.
Very many of the ships of the
Pacific fleet were not even in
Pearl Harbor. Some of those that
were hit very slightly; and others
that were damaged have either re-
joined the fleet by now or are still
undergoing repairs. When those
repairs are completed, the ships
will be more efficient fighting
machines than they were before.
PLANE LOSSES CONCEALED
The report that we lost more
than a thousand airplsnes at Pearl
Harbor is as baseless as the other
weird rumors. The japanese do
not know just how many planes
they destroyed that day. and ]
am not going to tell them. But
can say that to date-and includ-
ing Pearl Hsrbor-we have de-
stroyed considerably more Japan
ese planes than they have destroy
ed Of ours.
We have most certainly suf-
fered losses-from Hitler. U-boats
in the Atlantic as well as from
the Japanese In the Pacifie-and
we shall suffer more OF them be-
fore the turn of the tide. But

The United Nations are dedicated

equally and with equal zeal the

PEACE AIMS AGREED UPON


We have unified command and
cooperation and comradeship.
We Americans will contribute
unified production and unified ac-
ceptance of sacrifice and of effort.
That means a national unity that
can know no limitations of race
or creed or selfish politics. The
American people expect that much
for themselves. And the American
people will find ways and means
of expressing their determination
to their enemies, including the Jap
anese admiral who has said that
he will dictate the terms of peace
here in the White House.
We of the United Nations are
agreed on certain broad principles
in the kind of peace we want. The
Atlantic charter applies not only
to the parts of the world that bor-
der the Atlantic, but to the whole
world; disarmament of aggressors,
elf-determination of nations and
peoples. and the four freedoms
freedom of speech, freedom of re-
ligion, freedom from want and
freedom from fear.
The British and the Russian peo-
pie have known the full fury of
Nazi onslaught. There have been
times when the fate of London and
Moscow was in serious doubt. But
there was never the slightest ques-
ton that either the British or the
Russians would yield. And today

AXIS LIES NAILED

This generation of Americans
has come to relaize, with
present and personal realization
that there is something larger and
more important than the life of
any individual or any individual
group-something for which
man will sacrifice, and gladly
sacrifice, not only his pleasures,
not only his goods, not only his
associations with those he loves,
but his life itself. In time of
crisis when the future is in the
balance. We come TO understand.
with full recognition and devo-
ton, what this nation is. and what
we owe to it.
The Axis propsgandists have
tried in various evil ways to de-
stroy our determination and our
morale. Failing in that, they are
now trying to destroy our conf
dence in our own allies. They
sa ythat the British are finished
that the Russians and Chinese
are about to quit. Patriotic and
sensible Americans will reject
these absurdities. And instead of
listening 10 any of this crude
propaganda, they will recall some
of the things that NaZis and
Japanese have said and are still
saying about us.
Ever since this nation became
the arsenal Of demrocrscy-ever
since enactment OF lend-lease-
there has been one persistent

ganda.
