THEY SAID LAST
WEEK.
President Roosevelt:

1ASSAuSut NOOSSVeN:
History will record that the
Waves fulfilled a great purpose.
In 500 shore establishments Of the
fleet women in uniform took over
the work of Navy men. They re-
leased enough of them from non
combat duty to man all our land
ing craft in two important opera
tions: the Normandy landing on
June E and the invasion of Saipan
on June Is. The Women's Reserve
viii continue to speed victory day
by efficient performance of vital
duties ashore"
Vice President Henry A. Wallace:
"The farmers of the Middle
West owe lot to the farmers of
the South. We would never have
gotten satisfactory agricultural
legislation if it hand not been for
men like Marvin Jones, Senator
John Bankhead and Senator Al
ben Barkley. True, there are cer-
tain reactionary leaders, but these
men are usually financed directly
or indirectly from the North.
More and more an intelligent, con-
structive liberal leadership will
arise in the South which will not
owe anything directly or Indirect
ly to Wall Street or to outworn
prejudices. Claude Pepper of Flo
rida, and Governor Ellis Arnall
of Georgia illustrate what | mean.
Watch these men. They are young
and have the sense of future
trends"
Mrs. Lawrence H. Smith, natio-
nal president of the Women's
Auxiliary of the American
Legion: .- .,
Il am terribly proud of Ameri-
can women. think their war re-
cord is splendid. and am sure
the same spirit of patriotism will
guide them in the postwar world.
| think, however, that the. real
challenge to our women willceine
when the bands stop >playing~at
the excitement of the war drivesis
ended. Then the work for women
will be that of reconstruction and
rehabilitation of the war-scarred
veteran. People sometimes forget
that we still have 10000 veterans
of the last in hospitals There
will be more this time. lts's a big
&C. war. We had only 100000
men under arms last time, and
now we have 100000"
Governor Thomas e. Dewey, of
New York:
IF ever there was an example
OF mans inhummanity to man, it
has been furnished by the beasts
of Berlin, who set the world on
flre, and who are now fortunately
on the run, thanks to the brave
men and women of the United
Nations on the battlefield of Eu-
rope. The Jewish people are not
alone the victims in the present
war, but the Jewish people have
been singled out by maniac die
tator, and the whole world is out
ragged by the unspeakable cruelties
committed against them.We must
do everything mumanly possible
to stay the bloody hand of Hitler
ism in occupied Hungary, where
there are still hundreds of thous-
ands of Jews who can be saved.
Let the Nazis and their satellites
be warned that there will be a
day of reckoning = and soon =
for their crimes"
Earl G. Harrison, director of the
immigration and Naturaliza-
ton Service:
From a numerical point Of
view, the so-called alien problem
is fast becoming thing of the
past. A relatively high death rate
among aliens, sharp decrease in
immigration, and a greatly in-
creased rate of naturalization dur
ing the last few years, have COM
bined to narrow the ratio of non-
citizens to one of the lowest points
