Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-09-11
Text of Dewey's Louisville Address

if we cease to be a land of OPP
portunity for our own people, then
we shall fail both at home and
abroad.
But if here this year we can
put down forever this spirit of
defeatism that has haunted our
government for II long years, if
we can restore the faith of
Americans in America, if we can
regain the irresistible forward
progress which never halted until
the New Deal decade of the 1930s,
then we need have no fear either
at home or abroad.
HAS NO DOUBTS
say If" But we need have
no doubts. The great achieve
ments of American industry,
American labor and American
agriculture in meeting the require
ments of this war are a challeng-
ing demonstration of what this
country can do and can he when
we can once more turn our ener-
gies to the pursuits OF peace.
For years l have been saying
up and down the country that
America is not finished. 1t need
never be finished. America is at
the morning of her destiny. If
you believe with me, let us now
resolve that we will never rest
unit We make the American
dream a living and moving reality
A vital and necessary part of
the American dream is that
America shall, by her conduct and
example, give leadership and inSpi-
ratieh- te- the world.
We are still young. We are in
the fullnesS of our strength. We
shall 20 forward on this mighty
continent of ours TO build a better
life for all our people and in so
doing, we shall help build better
world for all the peoples of the
earth.

France, of the Low Countries, the
people of Norway know even more
bitterly than we the price and
the tragedy Of war
They and all other peoples Of
goodwill are entitled to full part
nerShip in preventing its repeti-
ton. They feel as deeply as we
do. Their share is as great as
our stake.

LOOK TO FUTURE

many nor Japan should ever again
he able to renew their attack upon
the peace of the world II would
he fairly simple. We would have
only To diSafm those nations and
keep them disarmed.
But let us he clearheaded as
we look 10 the future. There have
been many wars in which neither
Germany nor Japan took part We
must take measures broader in
scope than just 10 deal with the
aCgresSors Of TINS war.
We are seeking to make secure
the peace Of the world, not merely
in The next 10 years, but-aS Tar
ahead as the mind of man can
think.
We MiIL deI4de- ourselves We
think that the disarmament of
Germany and Japan will eliminate
from the face of the earth all fu-
ture threats TO the peace of the
world.
So -0e-mu1t- hapS-a-tsertd-
organization equipped to meet
the problems noU unforeseen
Which may arise S and 10 or so
-years-from- nom-That- World
organization must be the work
Of many minds. No one man or
three or four men can shape IL.
Some so nations, great and
small, must help shape it, be-
iieUe in IL, join IL, make IL work.
ASSEMBLY OF NATIONS
Upon certain aspects of the or
CanlZatlon We are. / think, agreed.
There will he a general assembly
comprising all peace-loving ma
tionS of the world. In this general
assembly all nations shall have
representation
1t is generally agreed, too, that
there will be council small
enough for almost continuous
meeting and prompt action. The
major nations will participate in
the council and the smaller ones
through selected representatives.
This world organization should
Velop effective cooperative
means 10 prevent or repel military
aggression, and such means should
include the use of force as well as
the mobilization of. international
opinion, of moral pressure and OF
economic sanctions.
There should he world court
10 deal with justifiable disputes.
But even this is not enough.
We should not seek merely re-
preston of conflict. Force breeds
revolt unless II is the servant of
the law and the servant of JUS
tice. We should and must work 10
create conditions under which
peace will be desired and not
merely compelled.
If we are TO obtain this ideal,
we must he fair and upright
In our dealings with the smaller
nations. They, no less than our
selves, have stake In world
peace.
We in America believe that all
decent members of society must
share the responsibility for its
order. II we are TO give leader
ship 10 the world we Must put
into action the ideals we believe
in. The people of Poland, of

American WPA for all of the rest
of the world.
To hear them talk, Uncle Sam
must play the role Of the kindly
but ssnils old gentleman, who
seeks TO buy the goodwill Of his
poor relations by giving quay
the dpindiing remains Of his
youthful earnings.
That is no lasting way TO win
friends or to influence peoples.
Goodwill cannot he bought
with gold. II flows TO the man
who successfully manages his
own affairs, who Is self-reliant
and independent, yet who Is
interested I'm the rights and
needs of others.
We shall want TO help-we
will help-the liberated peoples
through this period of crisis, so
they can again help themselves.
We can and we will seek 10 work
out conditions that will lead 10
an ever wider exchange of goods
and services without injury TO our
own people. We look toward a
more general access TO the raw
materials Of the world and 10 an
ever widening opportunity for all
TO contribute most effectively
their best to the production of the
goods needed by all.
MUST BE STRONG
Beyond that. we know that we
shall be able 10 help in keeping
this long peace we pray for, only
If VIC are strong at home. We can
no more separate our influence
in the world from our domestic
affairs than our armies can fight
without our production at home
If we ar home are 10 be torn
by internal strife; if we are 10
have leaders who set group
against group; if we are TO be
governed by the philosophy that
America is overbuilt and is done;

The Polish mother feels no less
deeply than the American mother,

We Americans and a few strong
