Roosevelt S F arewel
Address
BY MERRYLE S. RUKEYsER

\ PROVIDENTIAL hand made the late Franklin
"A Delano Roosevelt's undelivered farewell address
masterpiece of simple vivid patriotic expression-uttery
devoid of rancor and partisanship
Although death took the brilliant leader before he
could read his speech the radio to series of Jefer
son~Day dinners, Americans will always remember the
beauty and inspiration of his final words in behalf Of
peace.
THE world has never seen more beautiful act of re-
i nuncation. The man who headed the most effective
death dealing machine that the world has
in effect denying the brutal doctrine that might is right
The late presidents words were
I'VE seek peace-endurng peace. More than an end
to war, want end to the beginnings of all wars
yes, end to this brutal nhuman and thoroughly i'm
practical method of settling differences between govern
ments"
Then, referring to the crumbing of the Nazs and
the retribuon being visited Japan the late president
But the conquest of enemies is enough.
We must go on to do all in our power to conquer
the doubts and the fears the ignorance greed
which made this horror possible"
Thus, in his final expression, while heading the
worlds most effective engine for destruction Roosevelt
the humanitarian, was speaking.
TN THUS discussing principles, rather than specific
i troversal mechanisms Mr.. Roosevelt was magnifi-
Gently voicing the sentiments and aspirations of all
Americans.
Those of us who survive must do our part to carry
that noble vision to fuflment
Certainly, in face of its great military power the
United States is preeminently a good neighbor and
peace-loving nation.
AS people we have no lust for territory nor for
commitments based sordid power politics.
There will be no division among Americans in
spending to the late presidents denuncation the
of triumph of "the terrible scourge of war; and his
appeal against reversion to sordd policies which will
breed "a third world war" \\[1
President Truman and the people who are soldly
behind him must be vgilant lest schemng foreign poen
tates, while giving lip service to Roosevelts inspired
words seek to nulify them in fact by scramble for
power and by concealed empire building
Achievement of Roosevelts noble dream will entail
singlemnded devotion by all Americans-not only in
dealing with the enemies whose power will be crushed
but also with associates whose might has been enhanced
by American aid
Detroit evening times., 1945-05-18

TOMORROW is the e-fast-day-f for
Il Detroiters to donate blood to the
wounded men of our armed forces.
Because of the Nazi surrender, mill
tary requirements have been cut in
half, and the Detroit Red Gross has
been instructed to cease operating its
mobile units and close it's blood donor
center.
Thus, for the metropolitan area,
tomorrow marks the end of its. most
selfless and inspiring piece OF civilian
patriotism,
There is nothing spectacular in
the mechanics of contributing to a
blood bank It is prosaic and some
times squeamish matter, lacking al
together the circus exhilaration of,
for instance, war bond rally.
DUT the men and women who give
~ their blood to the blood banks
give all that it is humanity possible to
give to the war effort, this side of
combat zones.
And the very intimacy of their
gift; the almost biblical character of
it-blood of their blood to their
brothers in battle-stamps it serv-
ice of civilian patriotism beyond
peer.
Detroit's record in wartime blood
contributions is proud one. Since
Nov. /, 1941, when the blood bank
opened, more than $4,000 persons
have subscribed. The generous and
unsung army of blood donors COM
prised 340,546 men and 800, ,709
women.
1t was democratic army, drawn
from every possible walk of life by
those twin sublime motives, love of
country and love of fellow man.

" Those skilled international

Even the truStCCshipS over the

JUDGE SAMUEL I. RoSEN.

JUDGE SAMUEL I. R0SEN-
-. MANS report to President Tru-
man on the civilian requirements of
peoples in northwest Europe should
help TO awaken the American people
to the cold realities.
Instead of continuing the myth
that we benefit in a material sense
by giving away goods, the presiden-
tial adviser comedies that aid to
Europeans would "cut into the ra-
ton of the American consumer"
This, at least. represents progress,
for it stops the magnificent nonsense
about an export bonanza" in which
we grow rich by giving away goods
and services.
Arguing that the need in liberated
areas is great Mr.. Rosenman sug-
-gests that the United States extend
assistance, and complement short ra-
tions at the U. S. dinner table with
propaganda.
"Since ALLEGATION of ciDiiion sup
plies to liberated countries" Judge
Rosenman declared, Uitt, in all
probability, cut into the ration of the
American consumer, a widespread
official and public campaign should
be undertaken to inform, the Aneri-
can people OF the gravity of the
needs Of our Allies in liberated
Europe"
IN VIEW of the shortages at home,
Il such charity should, to say the
least, be on non.recurrent basis.
Europeans should be apprised OF
this fact, and stimulated to begin at
the earliest possible moment to plant
crops and resume industrial produc-
tion so as to return to self-support-
ing basis.

Conference Fears Centered on Russia,
Seen as Threat to Future Peace
By SAMUEL cROWIHER

The basis for real peace has been stated to this
conference by two in Particularly President Tru-
man in his opening address and by Dr. Pada the head
of the Mexican delegation DR.. Padila said:
This means that the peace want is far more than
question of force 1t is above all the organization

sphere the leader of the cause for human dignity and
justice.

toward determining the shape of the postwar Word=f-

GAN FRANCISCO. MAY 17-President Truman told
- this conference that fright makes might" In the
past this nation has never knowingly compromised with
the right
Today it has might beyond compare. Yet today it
is in this conference not only compromising with the
right, but also allowing itself to be turned into tool
a fool-it is too early to say which.
The mechansms being here contrived are intricate
that they will probably stay forever dead center
That in itself is a compromise because this meeting
was called to find way to organize for peace 1t would
have been better had it been called to explore the ways
to organize for peace That would have cut out lot OF
sham and pretense.
VNHE delegates here almost to man-and including
the British-believe that the future threat peace
IS Russia and that any appeasng of Russia is only way
OF giving the ovets chance prepare for the next
- I.enn preached that communism could not survive
IN only one country and that there must be continuous
world revolution until communism became universal He
modified his views and Stain definitely took the stand
that the Soviet sort of socialism could not exist in Russia
alone.
This is not the orthodox view and it now seems likely
that it has been abandoned
1t may be recalled that Stain announced that the
Russians had desire to conquer Germany but would
stop when the invaders had been driven Russian
But such has not been his policy. The Red armies
have driven through most of Europe, but instead of
formal conquest they have set puppet Communist gov
ernments that will eventually join the Soviet Union.
The Soviet party line holds that this is the last
gasp of capitalism and that if capitalism does not die
now, it will die in the next or revolution,
T'HERE is also to believe that the home con-
ditions IN Russia are such that it might be dam
gerous to allow these great of trained soldiers
go home For then they would see what has been hap
penlng and that might bring revolution.
Therefore 1t is generally believed that Russia will
only slightly demobize and intends to hold in way
another, the parts of Europe it occupies including
Germany through Berlin.
1t is also believed that Russia will any
general peace treaty limiting territory, but will up
governments OF its own and make treaties with them.
Commlssar Molotou made it fairly plain here that
Russia would play with organization here up only
to the extent that suited its part of that
convenience end-leaSe
United States.
IIHERE are no deuslons that point except in the
United States. The British have delusions They
want an organization that will pull in the United States
