STATEMENT OF CEB FOR
THE OF
JULY a, 1912.

O~ 4~ONAA my
Greetings!
independence Day, our most
precious national holiday rings
a challenge to the entire world
this year.
The march of freedom our
American Revolution started
for the democratic rights and
welfare of all of mankind is
now menaced by the murder
Gus hordes of Hitler. All for
our democratic achievements
on the road to "life, liberty
and pursuit of happiness" are
at stake. Slavery, torture and
death are the lot of the mil
lions of people in the lands
where the Nazi has the upper
hand. Bread and clothing, ia
mily and church, all means of
life and human rights are
robbed under the fascist heels.
To defend our sacred free
dom, our fruits of labor, our
hopes of even more progress
and welfare for our children,
we the people are now at war
to rid mankind of these fascist
enemies. Twenty eight nations
are united with us in this holy
crusade. The worlds four
mightiest nations, the United
States, Great Britain, China
and the Soviet Union are rapid
ly becoming the backbone of
the United Nations. Millions
of men and women in the
brave armies of our allies have
already given their lives in this
war for human freedom.
Thousands of our own boys,
too, have already made the SUI
preme sacrifice on the battle
fields. The courage and dog
gedness of Valley Forge was
re-enacted by the defenders of
Corregidor.
Our American nation is born
anew in the world war for
world freedom. The glorious
traditions Of our revolutionary
forefathers are now dotted
with new heroism. What Girls
pus Attacks fought for is now
defended by Dorie Miller. The
Nathan Hale of this war for
American freedom is Colin
Kelly.
The people of our country
it's soldiers and sailors - are
now more confident that vic
tory will be achieved because
of the closer friendship be-
tween our country and u he
roic ally the Soviet Union-as
expressed in the Molotov-
Roosevelt discussions. They
pledge their full support and
readiness to make every sacri-
flee necessary to open that
new European Front for the
defeat of Hitler this year.
Our men and women in the
mines and mills are giving and
are ready to give ever more of
their labor to turn out tanks,
planes and all that is necessary
for victory. And like Koscius-
ko, Won Steuben, Lafayette
and thousands of others who
came to fight with us for the
victory of our Declaration of
independence, so today, once
more, millions of Americans,
their descendants, or immi-
grants themselves are united
in this war for our national in
dependence.
Yet, every one must know
that this gigantic war of all
democratic minded people for
the presentations of human
freedom will bring victory on
ly if we give all we have for
victory.
Let us dedicate our Order,
our services in the field of mu-
tual aid and our very lives to
the Four Freedoms for which
our war is being waged Free
dom of speach, Freedom of
Religion, Freedom from Want,
Freedom from Fear"
And in the spirit of 1776, let
us march for victory under the
leadership of our Commander
in-Chief, the President of the
United States!

w and to the armies of our
Allies!
