WHEN FREEDOM LOVING
PEOPLE MARCH, THEY WILL
BUILD AN ENDURING PEACE"

The above was the subject of a
speech delivered May Sth before the
Free World Association at New
York, by Vice President Henry A.
Wallace.
1t was at once the most scholarly
and statesmanlike utterance, deliver
ed thus far by any statement any
where in the world in the present
crisis. And while it lacked the elo-
quence of a Churchill and the per
suasiveness Of a Roosevelt, it as
sumed the lofty plane which remind
ed one of the Sermon on the Mount
in its ~all-breaking scope.
That we must and will win the
war, he was sure; that we will also
win the peace, he was confident.
But he urged that we must win it
for the comon man throughout the
world. And that we must make
very sure hat never again shall
Satan, in the form Of a future Hitler
sally forth in the world to destroy
the peace and security of men.
Only a statesman could have Civ
en- utterance to such profound truths
for the welfare of all humanity.
1t would be a great good fortune,
if that speech could find its way
into the minds of every person in
the world.
He implies that the common man
is on the march and will o ever
forwrad until mankind everywhere
shall have won the -Four Free
dons", but shall have also assumed
the four duties: 1. The duty to pro-
duce to the lint, 2. The duty to
transport as rapidly as possible to
the field Of battle; 8. The duty to
fight with all that is in us, and 4.
The duty to build a peace-just,
charitable and enduring.
And he would Danish poverty and
ignorance from the world and make
sure that the common man will ev-
erywhere attain the dignity which is
the birth-right Of all children Of
