THEY SAID LAST
WEEK:
President Roosevelt /:


1--WE know that in the world
for which we are fighting and
working the four freedoms must
be won for all men. We know, too.
that each freedom is dependent
upon the others; that freedom
from fear, for example. cannot be
secured without freedom from
want. If we are to succeed, each
nation individually, and all ma
IONS collectively, must undertake
these responsibilities:
"They must take all necessary
steps to develop world food pro-
ductions so that it will be ade-
quate to meet the essential nutri-
tional needs of the world popula-
ton. And they must see to it that
no hindrances, whether of inter-
national trade, of transportation
or of internal distribution, be al
lowed to prevent any nation or
group of citizens within nation
from obtaining the food necessary
for health. Society must meet in
full its obligation to make avail
able to all it's members at least
the minimum adequate nutrition.
=. for without food and clothing
life itself is impossible"
Frank Knox, Secretary of the
Navy:

there is bond which draws men
of all creeds together. They feel
part of d great overpowering

dual abitions and personal pre-
pudices tending to seperate us und-
er other conditions. They are part
Of the service (which binds men
together by it's traditions, it's prac-
tees and even its uniform. Beyond
these superficial evidences of d
common purpose there is the bag
under which they fight and the
objective to which that flag is COM
mitted. Likewise, at home, it
means little to you, or me, what
church man belongs to SO long
as he is discharging his functions
ir building gun, ship, an air
plane. What we want of him is
industry, loyalty and unselfish de-
votion to his task"
Vice President Henry A. Wallace:
"When the victory is won an
other opportunity will open up be-
fore the people of the Western
Hemisphere. Then it is that our
ideals of democracy and peace and
tolerance and good neighborliness
can be an example, an inspiration
to the people overseas. We have
laith that some day these ideals
Twill become the guiding stars OF
nations everywhere on this globe.
Then, and then only, can we be
sure that the sacrifices of today
have not been made in vain. To-
day we say with pride and humi-
lity that we are Americans, know
