for innovation, skill, and risk taking
by business.
We shall lift production and price
control as soon as they are no longer
needed-encouraging private busi-
ness to produce more OF the things
to which We are accustomed and al
so thousands of new things, in ever
increasing volume, under conditions
of free and open competition.
Attentive to Small Business
This Administration has been
mindful from its earliest days, and
will continue to be mindful, of the
problems of small business as well
as large.
Small business played a magnifi-
cent part in producing thousands
of items needed for our armed
forces. When the war broke out,
1t was modified into war produc-
ton. Money was loaned for ma
chinery. over 100000 prime and
subcontracts have been distributed
among 10000 smaller plants of the
Nation.
We shall make sure that small
business is given every facility to
buy Government owned plants,
equipment and inventories. The
special credit and capital require
ments Of small business will be met.
And small business will continue
to be protected from selfish and
cold-blooded monopolies and cartels.
Beware of that profound enemy Of
the free enterprise system who pays
| lip service to free competition-but
also labels every antitrust prosecu-
tion as a persecution"
This war has demonstrated that
when the American businessman
and the American worker and the
American farmer work together,
they form an unbeatable team.
Team Must Keep Together.
We know that-our Allies know
that-and so do our enemies.
That winning team must keep to-
gether after the war, and it will win
many more historic victories of
peace for our country, and for the
cause of security and decent stand
ards Of living throughout the world.
We owe 1t to our fighting men and
to their families-we owe 1t to all
Of our people who have given 50
much in this war-we owe it to our
children to keep that winning
team together.
The future of America. like It's
past, must be made by deeds-not
words.
America has always been a land
of action-a land of adventurous
pioneering-a land of growing and
building.
America must always be such a
land.
The creed of our democracy is
that liberty is acquired and kept
by men and women who are strong
and self-reliant, and possessed Of
such wisdom as God gives to man
kind-men and women who are
Just, and understanding, and gen.
erous to others-men and women
who are capable of disciplinine
themselves.
Not Turning Clock Back.
For they are the rulers and they
must rule themselves.
believe in our democratic faith
and in the future of our country
which has given eternal strength
and vitality to that faith.
Here in Chicago you know lot
about that vitality.
And as I say goodnight to you,
say 1t in spirit of faith-a spirit
of confidence.
We are not going to turn back
the clock.
We are going forward-and-
with the fighting millions Of our
fellow countrymen-we are going
forward together.
FORT WAYNE, Ind, Oct. 2s
R.-Prepdred tert of President
RooseUelts remarks here today:
am glad to be back again at
Fort Wayne, whose citizens have
done and are doing so much to
help win the war.
I have heard some rather irri-
tated comment by Republican cam
paign orators about my taking this
campaign trip.
The don't like 1t.
They seem to believe that I
