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 1t.
Axis Tries in Various Ways
To Undermine Home Front.
The Axis propagandists 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
say that the British are fin
ished-that the Russians and the
Chinese are about to quit. Patri-
otic and sensible Americans will
reject these absurdities. And in
stead of listening to any Of this
crude propaganda, they will re-
call some of the things that Nazis
and Japanese have said and are
still saying about us.
Ever since this Nation became
the arsenal of democracy-ever
since enactment of lend-lease-
there has been one persistent
theme through all Axis propa-
ganda.
This theme has been that
Americans are admittedly rich,
and that Americans have consid-
erable industrial power-but that
Americans are soft and decadent,
that they cannot and will not
unite and work and fight.
From Berlin, Rome and Toxic
we have been described as Q Ma
ton Of weaklings-"playboys"-
who would hire British soldiers,
or Russian soldiers, or Chinese
soldiers to do our fighting for US.
Let them repeat that nowl
Let them tell that to Gen. Mac
Arthur and his men.
Let them tell that to the sailors
who today are hitting hard in
the far waters Of the Pacific.
Let them tell that to the boys

most-the fulfillment of our spe-
cial task Of production.
Germany, Italy and Japan are
very close to their maximum out
put Of planes, guns, tanks and
ships. The United Nations are
not-especially the United States
of America.
Our first job then is to build
up production so that the United
Nations can maintain control of
the seas and attain control of the
air-not merely slight superb
ority, but an overwhelming su-
periority.
U. S. Goals Held Fantastic
BY Axis Being Attained.
On January Of this year, +
set certain definite goals Of pro-
duction for airplanes, tanks, guns
and ships. The Axis propagan-
dists called them fantastic. To-
night, nearly two months later,
and after a careful survey of
progress by Donald Nelson and
others charged with responsibility
for our production, I can tell you
that those goals will be attained.
In every part OF the country,
experts in production and the
men and women at work in the
plants are giving loyal service.
With few exceptions. labor, capi-
tai and farming realize that this
Is no time either to make undue
profits or to gain special ad-
vantages, one over the other.
We are calling for new plants
and additions to old plants and
for plant conversion to war needs.
We are seeking more men and
more women to run them. We
are working longer hours. We
are coming to realize that one
extra plane or extra tank or extra
gun or extra ship completed to-
morrow may, in q few months,
turn the tide on some distant
battlefield; it may make the diff
ference between life and death
for some of our fighting men. We
know now that If we lose this
war it will be generations or even
centuries before our conception
of democracy can live again. And
we can lose this war only If we
slow up our effort or If we waste
our ammunition sniping at each
other.
Here are three high purposes
for every American:
/. We shall not stop work for
a single day. If any dispute
arises we shall keep on working
while the dispute is solved by
mediation, conciliation or arbi-
tration-until the war is won.
2. We shall not demand special
gains or special privileges or ad-
vantages for any one group or
occupation.
3. We shall give up conven-
fences and modify the routine Of
our lives if our country asks us
to do so. We will do 1t cheer
fully, remembering that the COM
mon enemy seeks to destroy every
home and every freedom in every
part of our land.
This generation Of Americans
has come to realize, with q pres
ent and personal realization, that
there is something larger and
more important than the life of
any individual or of any individ-
ual group-something for which
a man will sacif1ce, and gladly
sacrifice, not only his pleasures,
not only his goods, not only his
associations with those he loves,
Evening star., 1942-02-24

selves. And the American people
will find ways and means Of ex-
pressing their determination to
their enemies, including the
japanese 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 prin-
ciples in the kind of peace. we
seek. The Atlantic Charter ap-
plies not only to the parts of the
world that border the Atlantic
but to the whole world; disarma-
ment Of aggressors, self-deter-
mination Of nations and peoples
and the four freedoms--freedom
of speech, freedom Of religion,
freedom from want and freedom
from fear.
The British and the Russian
people have known the full fury
of Nazi onslaught. There have
been times when the fate of
London and Moscow was in Sc
rious doubt. But there was never
the slightest question that either
the British or the Russians would

The United Nations constitute
an association Of independent
peoples Of equal dignity and i'm
portance. The United Nations
are dedicated to q common cause.
We share equally and with equal
zeal the anguish and awful sac
rifices of war. In the partner
ship Of our common enterprise
we must share in unified plan
in which all Of us must play our
several parts, each of us being
equally indispensable and de-
pendent one on the other.
We have unified command and
cooperation and comradeship.
Atlantic Charter Applies
To All the World.
We Americans will contribute
unified production and unified
acceptance of sacrifice and OF
effort. That means q national
unity that can know no limita-
tions of race or creed or selfish
politics. The American people

Nations salute the superb Rus
sian Army as 1t celebrates the

Though their homeland was
overrun, the Dutch people are
still fighting stubbornly and pow
erfully overseas.
The great Chinese people have
suffered grievous losses; Chung

capital of an unbeatable China.
That is the conquering spirit
which prevails throughout the
United Nations in this war.
The task that We Americans
now face will test us to the
uttermost.

idea that local Negro published papers published for

ION GODS SIDE"


1t is interesting to note that of the deepest
thoughts and finest slogans to rise out of this World War
given to the Nation by Negro When Joe Louis said
sincerely and simply We're going to do part and
we'll win because we're Gods side' he voiced for
Americans everywhere the faith that will remove noun
a!ns and will achieve the ultimate Victory.
Not for the vainglorious cry of aggressors thru
out the ages-"The Gods fight side" Not for
the Geranc arrogance which seeks to make God goose
step as member of their armed forces. That is the
broad path of sefw which leadeth to destruction For
u.s. instead the upward climb under the banners
of Him who all goodness We not precede-we fol
low God.
What does that mean? 1t means that must place
ourselves ueservedy in His hands, endeavorng to con-
duct ourselves according TO what know to be His Will
We not children. We know the difference between
right and wrong We know that cruelty oppression theft
