steadily gone on from that to
establish the basis for q strong and
durable organization for world
peace.
The America which built the
greatest war machine IN all history,
and which kept 1t supplied, is an
America which can look to the
future with confidence and faith.
I propose the continuance Of the
team work that we have demon
strated In this war.
BY carrying out the plans we
have made we can avoid . postwar
depression-we can provide employ
ment for our veterans and oul
war workers-we can achieve ar
orderly reconversion.
Above all, we can avoid another
false boom like that which burst
in 1929, and q dismal collapse like
that of 1880 to 1888.
With continuance Of our team
work, I look forward, under the
leadership Of this Government, to
an era of expansion and production
and employment-to new industries
and increased security.

Text Of Presidents Campaign Address
Regrets That War Duties Make II impossible
For Him to Visit Midwest and Upper New York
FOLLOWING Is tert OF President

FOLLOWING Is tert OF President
Roosepelt's speech last night
from the White House:
I had hoped that during the
earlier part Of this week I could have
gone in person to some of the nearer
Midwestern cities, such as Cleveland
and Detroit, and I had hoped that
could visit some of my old friends
In upstate New York.
However, on my return to WASH
ington from Chicago, I find that
am not free<to spare the time right
now. Therefore I am speaking to
you from the White House.
am disappointed about this
but, as told the American people
when I became President, I follow
the principle of first things first,
and this war comes first.
We have all been overjoyed by the
news from the far Pacific, 5000 miles
away. Never before in all of history
has it been possible successfully to
conduct such massive operations
with such long lines Of supply and
communication.
Hazardous Undertaking.
In the Pacific theater, even while
we are fighting a major war in
Europe. our advance toward Japan
is many months ahead of our own
optimistic schedule, but we must
remember that any military oper-
alton conducted at such a distance
is hazardous undertaking. In any
long advance, progress may be in
terrupted by checks or setbacks.
However, ultimately our advance
will stop only in Tokyo itself.
Our success has been the result of
planning and organization and
building; 1t has been the result of
the hardest work and the hardest
fighting of which our people are
capable.
On the other side of the world, in
Europe, the Allied forces under Gen.
Eisenhower are pounding the Ger
mans with relentless force.
We do not expect to have winter
hull in Europe. We expect to keep
striking-to keep the enemy on the
move-to hit him again and again
to give him no rest-and to drive
through to the final objective
Berlin.

against bitter German resistance

Material Superiority.
In winning this war there Is just
one sure way to guarantee the mini

that, in every action we have over

Leila were off now on the sub

It's funny, too, Andy unused,

two years ago that leaving your

money wasn't the worst thing a
man could do to the girl he loved.
I'd have laughed at him. There's
no use trying to tell anyone, I
wouldn't attempt to talk it over
with Leila, because I can't be
sure it would work out we'll for
her and Kurt. You can't be sure
that any experience you have will
