ISSUED AT DOVER

With the closing of public, pa
rochial, and private schools for the
summer vacation period only 10
days off, the Labor Commission of
Delaware is being flooded with an
unprecedented number of appli-
cants for industrial employment 16
to 18 years of age, and IA to 16
years. With as high as 100 appli-
cants filing at the labor commits
sion's headquarters, 400 Equitable
Building, Wilmington, Tuesday, the
application record of June a year
ago when some 1900 sought en-
ployment, is expected to be shat

State Child Labor Inspector for
Delaware, Charles A. Hagner said
that some 80 per cent of those
seeking permits at his office in
Wilmington are between 16 and 1S
years of age, of which number over
go per cent are male. Patriotism
and high wages in war industry in
the Wilmington area are the big
attractions, he said. Similar con-
ditions only on smaller scale are
being registered throughout the en-
tire state, he continued.
Representative at Dover
Mr.. Hagner also announced that
for the benefit of down-state ap-
plicants, representatives of the

JOB CAN BE DONE

What / can say TO you is this
that l have unlimited faith that
the job can be done. And that
faith is based on knowledge
gained in the arduous, practical
and continuing experience of these
past eventful years.
l speak to the present genera
ton of Americans with reverent
participation in its sorrows and
in its hopes. No generation has
undergone a greater test, or has
met that test with greater heroism
and greater freedom, and no gen.
Grafton has had a more exalted
mission.
For this generation must act
not only fop itself. but as a trustee
for all those who fell in the last
war--a part of their mission
unfulfilled.
1t must act also for all who
have paid the supreme price in
this war-lest their mission, too,
be betrayed.
And finally ii must act for the
generations to come-which must
be granted a heritage of peace.
l do not exaggerate that mis-
sion. We are not fighting for, and
we shall not achieve, Utopia. In
deed, in our own land, the work
to be done is never finished. We
have yet to realize the full and
equal enjoyment of our freedom.
So, in embarking on the building
of a world fellowship, we have set
ourselves to a long and arduous
task. which will challenge our
patiencs, our intelligence our
imagination, as well as our faith.
That task requires the judgment
of a seasoned and mature people.
And this the American people have
become. We shall not again be
thwarted in our will to live as a
mature nation, confronting limit
less horizons. We Shall bear our
full responsibility. exercise our full
infloence, and bring our full help

magnificent services to our coun-
try in this war as members of this
administration. l am happy that
one of these distinguished Ameri-
cans is our great secretary of war
Henry Stimson.
Let us remember that this very

Mr.. Stimson's views had prevailed
when, in 1881, the japanese ruth

COP AGAINST DRAFT
The majority of the Republican
members of the Congress voted
against the selective service law
in 1910; they voted against repeal
of the arms embargo in 1899; they
voted against the lend-lease law
in 194l and they voted in August,
194l, against extension of selective
service - which m cant voting

am going by the record. And 1
am giving you the whole story
and not merely a phrase here and
half phrase there picked out of
context in such way that they
diStort the facts.
l happen to believe that, even
in political campaign, we should
all obey that ancient injunction
thou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbor.
POLICIES AT STAKE
The question of the men who
will formulate and carry out the
foreign policy of this country is
in issue in this election-very
much in issue. IT is in issue not
in terms of partisan application.
but in terms OF sober, solemn
facts-the facts that are on the
record.
If the Republicans were TO win
control of the Congress in this
election. inveterate isolationistS
would occupy positions of COM
manding influence and power.
l have already spoken of the
ranking Republican member of
the Senate foreign relations COM
mittee, Senator Hiram johnson.
One of the most influential
members of the Senate foreign
relations committee man who
would also be the chairman of
the powerful Senate committee on
appropriations-is Senator Gerald
p. Nye.
In the House of Representatives.
the man who is the present leader
of the Republicans there, and who
undoubtedly would be speaker. is
Joseph w. Martin. He voted
against the repeal of the arms
embargo, against the lend-lease
bill. against the extension of the
Selective service law, against the
arming of merchant ships, and
against the reciprocal trade agree
ments act, and their extensions.
The chairman of the powerful
committee on rules would be none
other than Hamilton Fish.
There are many others like
them in the Congress of the
United States-and every one of
them is now actively campaigning
for the national Republican ticket
this year.

HAVE MINDS CHANGEDe

Can any one really suppose that
these isolationists have changed
their minds about world affairs T?
Politicians who embraced the
policy of isolationism - or who
never raised their voices against
II in our days of peril--are not
reliable cuStodians of the future
of America.
There have been Democrats i'm
the iSolationist camp but they
have been few and far between,
and they have not attained posi-
tons of leadership.
And l am proud of the fact that
this administration does not have
the support of the isolationist

the Observation-Disclosures

AS for Germany, that tragic nation which
has sown the wind and is now reapipg the

Man consprators, or leave them a shred Of

We shall not leave them a single element

But would be false to the very founda-

ISSUE tnen II DetWeen my Verdclty
and the continuing assertions of
those who have no responsibility
in the foreign field-or, perhaps
/ should say. a field foreign to
them. VI
The peace structure which we
are building must depend on foiin-
dations that 60 deep into the
soil of mems faith and mems
hearts-otherwise il is worthless.
Only the unflagging will of men
can preserve 1t.
No president of the United
States can make the American
contribution to preserve the peace
without the constant, alert and
conscious collaboration of the
American people.
Only the determination of the
people To use the machinery gives
worth to the machinery.
PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN
We believe that the American
people have already made up their
minds on this great issue; and
this administration has been able
to press forward confidently with
its plans.
The very fact that we are now
at work on the organization of the
peace proves that the great ma
tons are committed to trust in
each other. Put this proposition
any way you will. il is bound to
come out the same way; we either
work with the other great ma
tions. or we might some day have
to fight them.
The kind of world order which
we, the peace-loving nations,
must achieve must depend essen
TALLY on friendly human relations.
on acquaintance, on tolerance, on
unassilable sincerity and good will
and good faith. We have achieved
that relationship to remarkable
degree in our dealings with our
Allies in this war-as the events
of the war have proved.
1t is a new thing in human
history for Allies to work to-
gether, as we have done-So
closely, SO tremendously and eff
fectively in the fighting of war,
and--at the same time-in the
building of the peace.
If. we fail to maintain that re-
lationship in the peace-if we fail
to expand it and strengthen it
then there will be no lasting
peace.
AS for Germany. that tragic ma
ton which has sown the wind and
is now reaping the whirlwind-we
and our Allies are entirely agreed
that we shall not bargain with the
Nazi conspirators, or leave them
shred of control--open or secret
of the instruments of government.
We shall not leave them single
element of military power-or of
potential military power.
But ! should be false to the very
foundations of my religious and
political convictions, if 1 should
ever relinquish the hope-and
even the faith-that in all peoples,
without exception. there lives
some instinct for truth, some at
traction toward justice. and some
passion for peace-buried as they
may be in the German case under
brutal regime.
We bring no charge against the
German race, as such, for we cam
not believe that God has eternally
condemned any race of humanity.
For we know in our own land how
many good men and women of
German ancestry have proved
loyal. freedom-loving, peace-loving
citizens.
There is going TO be stern pun
ishment for all those in Germany
directly responsible for this agony
of mankind.

During the years which followed
1920. the foreign policy of the
Republican administration wa 5
dominated by the heavy hand OF
isolationiSm.
Much of the strength of our
navy was scuttled:--and some of
the navy's resources were handed
over TO friends in private industry
AS in the unforgettable case of
Teapot Dome.
Tariff walls went higher and
higher-b ocking international
trade.
There was snarling at our for
mer Allies and at the same time
encouragement was given TO Ger
man finance to invest two and
one-half billion dollars in Germany
our former enemy.
All petitions that this nation
Join in the World Court were
rejected or ignored.
After this administration took
office. Secretary Hull and I re-
placed high tariffs with a series
of reciprocal trade agreements
under a statute of the Congress.
The Republicans opposed these
agreements and tried TO stop the
extension of the law every three
years
In 1895. asked the Congress to
join the World Court. The Demo-
Gratis in the Senate voted for il
AZ to 20. The Republicans voted
against il ID 10 9. Thus we were
prevented from obtaining the
necessary two-thirds majority.
In 1897, l asked that aggresSor
nations be quarantined and for
this / was branded by iSolationists
in and out of public office as an
"alarnoiSt" and "Warnnopper
