chance and every one agreed.
Improvised Stretchers for
Journey to the Coast.
He first had to get the IL
men to the seacoast-50 miles
away. To do this he had to i'm
provise stretchers for the haz-
ardous journey. The men were
suffering severely. but DR.. Was
sell kept them alive by his skill
and inspired them by his own
courage.
AS the official report said. DR..
Wassell was almost like a
Christlike shepherd devoted to
his flock"
On the seacoast he embarked
the men on a little Dutch ship.
They were bombed and machine
gunned by waves of Japanese
planes. DR.. Wassell took virtual
command of the ship and by
great skill avoided destruction,
hiding in small bays and inlets.
A few days later DR.. Wassell
and his little flock of wounded
men reached Australia safely.
DR.. Wassell now wears the Navy
Cross
Another story concerns a ship
rather than an individual man.
You may remember. the tragic
sinking of the submarine Squalus
off the New England coast in the
summer of 1899. Some of the
crew were lost, but others were
saved by the speed and efficiency
of the surface rescue crews. The
Squalus itself was tediously
raised from the bottom of the
ocean.
Eventually she sailed again un-
der a new name, the U. S. S.
Sailfish. Today she is a potent
and effective unit of our subma-
rine fleet.
The Sailfish has covered many
thousands of miles in operations
in the Far Western Pacific.
She has sunk Japanese de-
stroyer.
She has torpedoed a Japanese
cruiser.
She has made two tropedo hits
on q Japanese aircraft carrier.
Rose From Depths Of Sea
To Fight for America.
Three Of the enlisted men of
our Navy who went down with
the Squalus in 1899 are today
serving on the same ship, the
Sailfish, in this war.
1t is heartening to know that
the Squalus, once given up as
lost, rose from the depths to
fight for our country in time of
peril.
One more story, which I heard
only this morning:
This is a story of one Of our
Army Flying Fortresses operating
in the Western Pacific. The pilot

seven-point program OF general
principles which together could
be called the national economic
policy for attaining the great
objective of keeping the cost of
living down.
I repeat them now in sub
stance:
/. We must, through heavier
taxes, keep personal and corpo-
rate profits at a low reasonable
rate.
2. We must fix ceilings on
prices and rents.
3. We must stabilize wages.
4. We must stabilize farm
prices.
S. We must put more billions
into War bonds.
6. We must ration all essential
commodities which are scarce.
7. We must discourage install
ment buying, and encourage pay
ing off debts and mortgages.
I do not think it is necessary
to repeat what I said yesterday
to the Congress- in discussing
these general principles.
An-Embracing Program
Only Effective Course.
The important thing to remem-
Der Is that each one of these
points is dependent on the others
B II the whole program is to work,
RI Some people are already TAX
ing the position that every one
Of the seven points is correct
except the one point which steps
on their own individual toes. A
few seem very willing to approve
self f-denial-on the part of their
neighbors. The only effective
course Of action is a simultaneous
attack on all of the factors which
increase the cost Of living, In
one comprehensive, all-embrac-
ing program covering prices,
profits, wages, taxes and debts.

man, proud of his crew for one OF
the toughest fights bomber has
yet experienced.
The bomber departed from its
base. as part OF a flight Of five,
to attack japanese transports
which we're landing troops in the
Philippines. When they had gone
about half way to their destina-
ton. one of the motors of this
bomber went out of commission.
The young pilot lost contact with
the other bombers. The crew.
however, got the motor working
again and the plane proceeded
on its mission alone.
BY the time 1t arrived at its
target the other four Flying
Fortresses had already passed
over, had dropped their bombs
and had stirred up the japanese
Zero" planes. Eighteen of them
attacked our one Flying Fortress.
Despite this mass attack our
plane proceeded on its mission.
and dropped all of its bombs on
six Japanese transports which
were lined up along the docks.
AS it turned back on its home
ward journey running fight be-
tween the bomber and the 18
japanese pursuit planes contin-
ued for Is miles. Four pursuit
ships attacked simultaneously at
each side, and we're shot down
with the side guns. During this
fight the bomber's radio operator
was killed. the engineers right
hand was shot of and one gunner
was crippled. leaving only one
man available to operate both
side guns. Although wounded
in one hand, this gunner alter
nately manned both side guns.
bringing down three more Japa-
nese Zero" planes. While this
was going on. one engine on the
bomber was shot out, one gas
tank was hit, the radio was shot
off and the oxygen system was
entirely destroyed. Out OF III
control cables all but were
shot away. The rear landing
wheel was blown of and the two
front wheels were both shot fat.
Returns to Base, Its
Mission Accomplished.
The fight continued until the
remaining Japanese pursuit ships
exhausted their ammunition and
turned back. With two engines
gone and the plane practically
out of control. the American
bomber returned to its base after
dark and made an emergency
landing. The mission had been
accomplished.
The name OF that pilot is Capt.
Hewitt T. Wheless of the United
States Army. He comes from
Menard, Tex.-population 2,375.
He has been awarded the Distin-
guished Service Cross. I hope
he Is listening.
These stories I have told you

are not exceptional. They are
typical examples Of individual
heroism and skill
AS We here at home contem-
plate our own duties, our own
responsibilities. let us think and
think hard of the example which
is being set for US by our fight
ing men.
Our soldiers and sailors are
members of we'll disciplined
units. But they are still and
forever individuals-free tndi-
viduals. They are farmers, work
ers. businessmen. professional
men. artists, clerks.
They are the United States Of
America.
That is why they fight.
We, too, are the United States
of America.
That is why we must work and
sacrifice,
1t is for them. 1t Is for US
1t is for victory.

interests above the interests Of
the Nation.
1t must not be impeded by
those who pervert honest criti-
cism into Justification of fact.
1t must not be impeded by self
styled experts either in economics
or military problems who know
neither true figures nor geog-
raphy itself.
1t must not be impeded by a
few bogus patriots who use the
sacred freedom of the press to
echo the sentiments of the propa-
gandists in Toxic and Berlin.
And, above all, it shall not be
tmperiled by the handful of noisy
traitors - betrayers of America
and OF Christianity itSelf-would-
be dictators who in their hearts
and souls have yielded to Hitler
ism and would have this Republic
do likewise.
I shall use all Of the executive
power that have to carry out
the policy laid down. If it be-
comes necessary to ask for any
additional legislation in order to
attain our objective of prevent
ing a spiral in the cost of living,
I shall do so.
I know the American farmer,
the American workman, the
American businessman. I know
that they will gladly embrace
this economy of sacriflce-satis-
fled that it is necessary for the
most vital and compelling motive
in all their lives winning
through to victory.~
Never in the memory of man
has there been war in which
the courage, the endurance and
the loyalty of civilians played so
vital part.
Fortitude of Common People
Saved Britain From Hitler.
Many thousands Of civilians all
over the world have been and are
being killed or manned by enemy
action. Indeed, it was the forti-
tude of the common people of
Britain under fire which enabled
that island to stand and pre-
vented Hitler from winning the
war in 1910. The ruins of Lon
don and Coventry and other
cities are today the proudest
monuments to British heroism.
Our own American civilian
population is now relatively safe
from such disasters. And to an
ever-increasing extent our SOL
diers, sailors and marines are
fighting with great bravery and
great skill on far-distant fronts
to make sure that we shall re-
main safe.
l should like to tell you one
or two stories about the men we
have in our armed forces:
There is. for instance, DR..
Corydon M. Wassell. He was a
missionary, we'll known for his
good works in China. He is
simple, modest, retiring man,
nearly so years old, but he en-
tered the service of his country
and was commissioned a lieu
tenant commander in the Navy.
DR.. Wassell was assigned to
duty in Java caring for wounded
officers and men of the cruisers
Houston and Marbleht ad, which
had been in heavy action in the
Java seas.
When the Japanese advanced
across the island it was decided
to evacuate as many as possible
OF the wounded to Australia. But
about II Of the men were 50
badly wounded that they could
not be moved DR.. Wassell re-
manned with these men, knowing
that he would be captured by the
enemy. But he decided to make
desperate attempt to get the
men out of Java. He asked each
Evening star., 1942-04-29

The blunt fact is that every
single person in the United
States is going to be affected by
this program. Some of you will
be affected more directly by one
or two Of these restrictive meas
ures, but all of you will be affect
ed indirectly by all Of them.
Are you a businessman, or do
you own stock in a business
corporation? Your profits are
going to be cut down to a rea-
sonably low level by taxation.
Your income will be subject to
higher taxes. Indeed in these
days, when every available dollar
should go to the war effort, do
not think that any American citi-
zen should have net income in
excess of s25 1000 per year after
payment Of taxes.
Are you q retailer or a whole
saler or a manufacturer or a
farmer or a landlord? Ceilings
are being placed on the prices at
which you can sell your goods
or rent your property.
Do you work for wages? You
will have to forgo higher wages
for your particular job for the
duration Of the war.
Stopping Purchases
Frees Workers for War.
All Of us are used to spending
money for things we want but
which are not absolutely essen
tial. We will all have to forgo
that spending. Because we must
put every dime and every dollar
we can possibly spare out of our
earnings into War bonds and
stamps. Because the demands Of
the war effort require the ration
ing of goods of which there is
not enough to 60 around. Be-
cause the stopping of purchases
OF non-esSentials will release
thousands of workers who are
needed in the war effort.
AS I told the Congress yester-
day, sacrifice" is not the proper
word with which to describe the
program of self-denial. When at
the end Of this great struggle we
shall have saved our free way Of
life we shall have made no sac
rifice."
The price for civilization must
be paid in hard work and sorrow
and blood. The price is not too
high. If you doubt it, ask those
millions who live today under the
tyranny of Hitlerism.
Ask the workers of France and
Norway, whipped to labor by the
lash, whether the stabilization of
wages is too great sacrifice"
Ask the farmers of Poland and
Denmark, Of Czechoslovakia and
France, looted of their livestock,
starving while their own crops
are stolen from their land,
whether parity" prices are too
great sacrifice"
Ask the businessmen Of Eu-
rope, whose enterprises have been
stolen from their owners, wheth-
er the limitation of profits and
personal incomes is too great a
sacrifice"
Ask the women and children
who Hitler Is starving whether
the rationing of tires and gaso-
line and sugar Is too great a
sacrifice"
We do not have to ask them.
They have already given us their
ago1iZed answers.
Must Not Be Impeded
By Faint Heart or Selfishness.
This great war effort must be
carried through to its victorious
conclusion by the indomitable
will and determination of the
people.
It must not be impeded by the
faint Of heart.
It must not be iInpeded by
those who put their own selfish
