War Most Horrible

Democratic Senator Backs President Roosevelt for Fourth Term; Considers Change PeriIOuS Now

I felt that might at that years national convention, come to 8 parting of the ways with party associates who had honored me on several occasions. Then, as now, I suffered no feeling of inde- cision as to the difference between allegiance to my country and my party.
 And then came the tragedy of the low countries of Europe - the violent and brutal assault which magnified the already great danger to the United States and to all of the world. There was no longer any question in my mind as to what I should do. Although still deter mined to try to help find way tC
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-11-01

United States Senator Francis T. Maloney (D-Conn.) in 8 radio ad- dress last night declared his sup- port of President Roosevelt for a Fourth Term because, as he assert ed Tt seems to me quite out of place to consider change at this time at this per1louS tirne-as we pass the peaks of the most horrible war in history"
 Senator Maloney, long an out- spoken opponent of, domestic poli- cies of the administration with which he did not concur, cited his past opposition to many measures, but declared the foreign policy and the future to be the issue.''
 His address in part follows:
 Next Tuesday, November 7th the American people will be called upon to make great decision.
 In any national electicn-even in ordinary times-the decision is one of great importance, but this year the people of the United States are, in my judgment, burdended with a political responsibility the like of which they have never before been confronted.
 Perhaps the war crisis, in so far as the actual fighting is concerned, has passed-but there are dangers ahead, great dangers, and between now and the time our enemies lay down their arms, there will be oc- caSiOI1S for mOmentOllS decisions. After the fighting comes to an end,

him, the chance for restoration of their freedom and the strong possibility of peace that will keep them from ever again being crushed under the heels of men gone mad.
 The President has not been re- 1uctant to make known his views on world peace policy. Few peo- pie are in disagreement with these views. There are those who claim that they might do it better. and it is within the realm of possibility that they might do it better. and I, for one, am unwilling to take the chance just now. Time is too precious to take time but to re- organize the war program - even if one supposed there was need for a reorganization of the plans - and time is too precious to permit any delay in the peace program. If these assertions are true I am un- able to understand the reasoning of these who think that This is the time for change" If I am wrong it is because I have failed to find the slightest bit of evidence that a change would hasten these efforts.
 It is true, of course, that any new leadership, no longer needing to give constant attention to the war and the peace, could make im- provementS in our governmental structure but so can President Roosevelt, and I am confident he will, just as soon as he is freed from the heavy burdens of the war and we live in peace again. |"

Dairy Farming Key
 To Post-War Jobs
New England Milk Producers Hear Cow Termed For
 gotten Factories of RecOnversiOn Plans

1 Dairy farming, in turn, is "the backbone of the vast farm enter prises that make all these jobs pos sible," Benson said.
 Five out of six of all farmers, he stressed, are dairy farmers. He pointed out that milk yields a fifth of all farm income and provides the revenue mainStay for nearly 30 million persons living on farms" Milk, he explained, is the farmers greatest cash crop, surpassing corn and double the farm value of cot ton or wheat crops, pumping year. round cash into Americas markets" Especially important, he said, is the fact that dairy herds conserve and enrich the soil so that "every- where dairying hourishes, the land is more bountiful and farmers are more prosperous and better able to make jobs in agriculture, busi- ness and industry"
 Benson called it regrettable that so little emphasis has been placed, in the discussions about planning for postwar employment, on the role of the dairy farmer.
 Americas 28 million dairy COWS are the forgotten factories of recon version ," he said. "As long as Amer jeans consume less than the quan- titles of dairy foods they need for vital health, it is common sense to maintain and expand dairy foods they need for vital health, it is con- mon sense to maintain and expand dairy production. Yet theorists are continually urging policies that would destroy much of America s livestock. This, in turn, would un- dermine the general productivity of agriculture and strange national prosperity"
 To-day we must learn the essence of back to earth" Benson said. war has destroyed life. War has destroyed wealth. But even if war destroyed everything we own above the earth, we could go back to earth and build anew-new buildings new machineS-new monuments to mankind'S progress.
 For the rich. warm soil is our source of life. Destroy it and we die. Save it-protect it-and we have, firmly in our grasp, the means for life, for prosperity and for a greater America"
