| The things we can see and know
about are only fraction of the
confusion and contradiction that
exist In our whole civilian war ef-
fort. Multiply these million times
and it becomes clear why it Is that
the war is not coming to an end
more rapidly.
Gen. Eisenhower has told us twice
that the war in Europe would be
ended in 1914 If every one at home
would do his part. Gen. Eisenhower
has never changed that statement.
1t is Mr.. Roosevelt who now tells
us that the war has still a long way
to go. Plainly things have not been
going in Washington as we'll as Gen.
Eisenhower expected and had a
right to expect. That is the basic
reason why We should install in
Washington a vigorous and COM
petent administration that will put
into the war effort at home a pur-
pose and unity equal to that of our
military leaders on the fighting
fronts.
Puts the Question.
We want to bring this war to a
speedy. victorious conclusion, to
save unnecessary loss of life, un-
needed hardship and sorrow. The
question Is no longer-do we dare
to make a change in administra-
tions? The question Is: Do we dare
not to make change when our own
everyday experience, and the tes-
timony OF our eyes and ears cries
out that a change is desperately
needed.
Now there is another thing that
You and l want. We want to make
sure that this war shall be the last
war; that this tragedy shall never
happen again. Like a great light in
darkened world shines the nearly
unanimous determination of our
people to join together with the
people Of other nations in setting
up world organization for peace.
Much has been done to prepare
the general principles that will
govern the establishment of such
an organization. have been happy
to contribute to our unity for this
cause by lifting it above partisan
debate. But the hardest part Of the
task is still ahead. So far as Amer
ican participation is concerned, the
dificult details must be worked out
between the Congress and the Presi-
dent.
have unlimited faith that it can
be done by President and a Con-
gress working together, in harmony
1t will take hard work, patience
and understanding upon all sides.
History Must Not Repeat.
In the name of those who are
lighting and dying in the couse of
freedom, We dare not risk leaving
this vital labor in the hands of those
who have grown tired and quarrel
some from IL years in office. History
must not repeat itself.
And history must not repeat the
breadlines and soup kitchens to
which our soldiers returned after
the last war, under another tired,
war-weary administration. After
this war is over, II million men in
our fighting forces will come home
They are entitled to find here an
opportunity to realize in peace the
things for which they are fighting
How can we best make sure that
they will have those opportunities?
We cannot forget that under the
New Deal 1t took war to get jobs

Freedom Of Choice.
Tomorrow, you the people Of the
United States, again vote as free
men and women, with full freedom
of choice-with no secret police
watching over your shoulders And
for generations to come Americans
will continue to prove their faith ir
free elections.
But when the ballots are cast
your responsibilities do not cease
The public servants you elect can
not fulfill their trust unless YOU
the people, watch and advise them
raise your voices in protest. wher
you believe your public servants tc
be wrong, back them up when yor
believe them to be right.
But not for one single moment
can you now or later forget the al
important goals for which. we are
aiming-to win the war and unite
our fighting men with their families
at the earliest moment, to see thai
all have honorable jobs, and tt
create world peace organization
which will prevent this disaster
from ever coming upon us again.
To achieve these goals we need
strength and wisdom which Is
greater than is bequeathed to mere
mortals. We need Divine help and
guidance. We people of America
have ever had a deep we'll of re-
ligious strength, far back to the days
of the Pilgrim Fathers.
Reads Prayer.
And so, on this thoughtful eve,
believe that you will find it fitting
that I read prayer sent to me not
long ago:
Almighty God, Of whose right
eous will all things are and were
created, Thou hast gathered our
people out Of many lands and races
into a great nation.
I'VE commend to Thy overruling
Providence the men and women OF
our forces, by sea, by land and in
the air;
"Beseeching Thee to take into
Thine own hands both them and
the cause they serve.
BE Thou their strength when
they are set in the midst of so many
and great dangers. And grant that
whether by life or by death, they
may win for the whole world the
fruits of their sacrifice and a just
peace
Guide, we beseech Thee, the ma
tions of the world into the way Of
justice and truth, and establish
among them that peace which /.
the reward of righteousness.
Make the whole people of this
land equal to our high trust, rever.
ent in the use of freedom, just in
the exercise Of power, generous ir
the protection of weakness.
Enable us to guard for the least
among us the freedom we covet fol
ourselves; make us Ill content. with
the inequalities of opportunity which
still prevail among us. Preserve our
Union against all the divisions OF
race and class which threaten it.
And now may the blessing of God
Almighty rest upon this whole land
may He give us light to guide us
courage to support us, charity tc
unite us, now and forevermore.
Amen
