1.-The War and the PeuceI

We pledge prosecution OF the wal
to total victory against our enemies
in full cooperation with the United
Nations and all-out support of oul
armies and the maintenance of our
Navy under the competent and
trained direction of our general staff
and Office of Naval Operations
without civilian interference and
with every civilian resource.
At the earliest possible time after
the cessation of hostilities we will
bring home all members of our
armed forces who do not have unex-
pired enlistments and who do not
volunteer for further overseas duty.
Opposed to World State.
We declare our relentless aim to
win the war against all our enemies:
% for our own American security
and welfare; (2) to make and keep
the Axis powers impotent to renew
tyranny and attack; 81 for the at
tainment of peace and freedom
based on justice and security.
We shall seek to achieve such aims
through organized international CO.
operation and not by joining world
state.
We favor responsible participation
by the United States in postwar
cooperative organization among
sovereign nations to prevent military
aggression and to attain permanent
peace with organized justice in a
free world
Such organization should develop
effective cooperative means to di-
rect peace forces to prevent or repel
military aggression. Pending this,
we pledge continuing collaboration
with the United Nations to assure
these ultimate objectives.
Peace Not Dependent on Force.
We believe, however, that peace
and security do not depend upon
the sanction of force alone, but
should prevail by virtue of recip-
rocal interests and spiritual values
recognized in these security agree
ments The treaties of peace should
be just; the nations which are the
victims of aggression should be re-
stored to sovereignty and self
government. and the organized CO.
operation of the nations should con-
cern itself with basic causes of
world disorder. 1t should promote
world opinion to influence the ma
tions to conduct, develop interna-
tional law and maintain an interna-
tional tribunal to deal with justici-
able disputes.
We shall seek, in our relations
with other nations, conditions cal
culated to promote wide eco
nomic stability, not only for the
sake of the world, but also to the
end that our own people may enjoy,
a high level of employment In an
increasingly prosperous world,
We shall keep the American peo-
pie informed concerning all agree
ments with foreign nations. In all
of these undertakings we favor the
widest consultation of the gallant
men and women in our armed forces
who have a special right to speak
with authority in behalf of the
security and liberty for which they
fight.
Will Sustain Constitution.
We shall sustain the Constitution
OF the United States in the attain
ment of our international aims, and
pursuant to the Constitution of the
United States any treaty or agree
ment to attain such aims made on
behalf Of the United States with any
other nation or any association of
nations, shall be made only by and
with the advice and consent of the
Senate of the United States, jro-
viaed two-thirds of the Senators
present concur.
We shall at all times protect the
essential interests and resources of
the United States.
