In time OF peace, every variety of

In time. of war your Government
cannot always give spot news to the
people. Nearly everybody under

This means that those relatively
few people who do have the facts
from all over the world, not only
every day but every hour OF every
day, are precluded from discussing
these facts. publicly, except in the
most general of terms. If they did
they would almost inevitably say
things which would help the people
who are trying to destroy us.
In reverse, those who are not in
possession Of all the news must
almost inevitably speak from guess
work based on information of doubt

the facts and, therefore, the value
Of their statements becomes greatly
reduced. Nor must we, in the actual
progress of the war, lend ears to the
clamor Of politics or to criticism
from those who, as we know in our
hearts, are actuated by political
motives.
The fact that this type of criticism
has done less harm in the United

been due to the good old horse sense

The plan for weekly pickups of
commercial tin cans by trucks Of
fered by the bottling industry was
explained to the officials. They were
urged to set machinery in motion
as quickly as possible. Cans, it was
stressed, must be thoroughly
cleaned. tops and bottoms cut OIL,
labels removed and the cans fiat
tened out before they can be of
value to detinning plants.
Meanwhile, Harry F. Krams of
the city refuse department, which
has assumed the responsibility of
collecting cans from homes, reported
yesterday that there had been

which they would otherwise not
have had.
This confession Of mine illustrates
to the people of this country the
fact that In time of war the con-
duct OF the war, with the aim of
victory, comes absolutely first. They
know that not one of their inalien-
able rights Is taken away through
the failure to disclose to them, for
a reasonable length of time, facts
that Hitler and Mussolini and TOTO
would give their eye teeth to learn.
Facts therefore become paramount
facts that cannot be told to the
public at the time, as well as facts
that can and should be told at all
times.
The posters that tell you, Loose
Talk Costs Lives" do not exaggerate.
Loose talk delays victory. Loose
talk is the damp that gets into
powder. We prefer to keep our
powder dry.
No Ceasting to Victory.
We have = gigantic job to do
all oftus, together. Our battle lines
today stretch from Kiska to MUIR
mansk, from Tunisia to Guadalcanal.
These lines viii grow longer, as our
forces advance.
We have had an uphill fight, and
1t will continue to be uphill all the
way. There can be no coasting to
victory.
During the past two weeks we
have had great deal of good news
and 1t would seem that the turning
point OF this war has at last been
reached. But this is no time for ex-
ultation. There Is no time for any
thing but fighting and working to
win.
A few days ago, as our Army ad-
vanced through North Africa, on the
other side of the world our Navy was
fighting what was one of the great
battles of our history.
A very powerful japanese force
was moving at night toward our
positions in the Solomon Islands.
The spearhead of the force that we
sent to intercept the enemy was
under the command of Rear Ad-
miral Daniel ]. Callaghan. He was
aboard the leading ship, the cruiser
San Francisco.

Tells Of Carrier Sinking.
I think you will realize that have
made a constant effort as Com
mander in Chief to keep politics out
of the fighting of this war.
But must confess that my foot
slipped once. About 10 days before
election day one Of our aircraft car
riers was torpedoed in the South
west Pacific. She did not sink at
once, but it became clear that she
could not make port. She was,
therefore, destroyed by our own
forces. We in Washington did not
know whether the enemy was aware
OF her sinking-for there were no
japanese ships near enough to see
her 90 down. You will realize, Of
course, that the actual knowledge of
the loss of enemy ships has q
definite bearing on continuing naval
operations for some time after the
event. We, for instance, know that
we have. sunk number OF Japanese
aircraft carriers and we know that
we have bombed or torpedoed others.
We would give a kings ransom to
know whether the latter were sunk
or were saved, repaired and put back
into commission.
However, when we got news of the
sinking of this particular ship, a
great issue was being raised in the
Congress and in the public vehicles
OF information as to the suppression
of news from the fighting fronts.
There was q division of opinion
among responsible authorities.
Here came my mistake. yielded
to the clamor. Il did SO partly in

the news of the sinking were given
