133 American and British war
shipS-including nine battleships
and 20 aircraft carrierS-partici-
pated in the Third Fleets final
air-sea assault on Japan during
the last month, Adm. NlmltZ
announced today.
The huge armada. totaling more
than 100000 tons of warcraft,
was the most powerful ever as
sembled for a single operation. At
last reports il still was off the
japanese coast awaiting orders to
enter the enemy'S territorial
waters.
Nimitz listed by name l05

600 tons and comprising all but a
handful Of the ships launched
after Pearl HarboT. and 2S British
warShips of 203,00G tons.

Even these represented only a
fraction OF the total Allied naval
strength in the Pacific.

forces, numerous tankers, ammu-
milton ships, escort carriers, de-

National Income Must Remain Hiqh

The millions of productive jobs that a program of this nature
could bring are jobs in private enterprise. They are jobs based
on the expanded demand for the output of our economy for con-
sumption and investment. Through a program of this character
we can maintain a national income high enough to provide tor an
orderly retirement of the public debt along with reasonable tax
reduction.
Our present tax system geared primarily to war REQUIRE
ments must be revised for peacetme so as to encourage private
demand.
until the war ends on all fronts, the Congress should be pre-
rope, designed TO encourage capital to invest in new enterprises
and TO provide jobs.
An an integral part Of this program TO maintain high en-
poyment. we must, after the war is over. reduce or eliminate
taxes which bear too heavily on consumption.
The war will leave deep disturbances in the world economy
IN our national economy, in many communities, in many families.
and in many individuals. 1t will require determined effort and re-
sponsible action of all Of us to find our way back TO peacetime,
and to help others to find their way back 10 peacetime-a peace
time that holds the value Of the past and the promise of the
future.
If we attack our problems with determination we shall sue
coed. And we must succeed. For freedom and peace cannot exist
without security.
During the past year the American people, in a national
election. reasserted their democratic faith.
In the course of that campaign, various references were
with the implication, if not the direct assertion. that his ad.
ministration and the Congress could never work together har-
moniously in the service of the nation.
1t cannot be denied that there have been disagreements
between the legislative and executive branches-as there have
been disagreements during the past century and a half.
| think we all realize, too, that there are some people in this
capital city whose task is in large part to stir up dissension, and
TO magnify normal healthy disagreements so that they appear
to be irreconcilable conflicts.

Wronq Move Means More War

In our disllusionment after the last war, we preferred
international anarchy to international cooperation with nations
which did not see and think exactly as we did. We gave up the
hope of gradually achieving a better peace because we had not
the courage to fulfill our responsibilities in an admittedly i'm
perfect world.
We must not LET that happen again. or we shall follow the
same tragic road again-the road Ia a third world war.
We can fulfill our responsibilities for maintaining the secur-
ity Of our own country only by exercising our power and our
influence to achieve the principles in which we believe and for
which we have fought.
In August. 1871, Prime Minister Churchill and l. agreed TO
the principles of the Atlantic Charter, these being later incor.
porated into the Declaration by United Nations of Jan. l, 1912.
At that time certain isoationists protested vigorously against
our right TO proclaim the principles-and against the very prin-
cpes themselves.
Today, many of the same people are protesting against the
possibility of violation of the same principles.
1t is true that the statement of principles in the Atlantic
Charter does not provide rules Of easy application to each and
every one of this warton worlds tangled situations. But it is
a good and useful thing-it is an essential thing to have prin-
cples toward which we can aim.
And we shall not hesitate To use our inhuence-and to use
it now-to secure 80 far a. is humanity possible the fulfllmcnt
Of the principles of the Atlantic Charter. We have not Shrunk
from the military responsibilities brought on by this war. We
cannot and will not shrink from the political responsibilities
which follow in the wake ef battie."

Riohts Must Become Realities

The federal government must see to it that these rights be
come reaitcs-wth the help of states, municipalities, business,
labor and agriculture.
We have had full employment during the war. We have had
II because the government has been ready to buy all the materials
OF war which the country could produce-and this has amounted
10 approximately hatt our present productive capacltyr-
After the war we must maintain full employment with gov
eminent performing ITS peacetime functions. This means that
We must achieve a level of demand and purchasing power by pi-
yate con-sumers-farmers businessmen, workers, professional
men, housewives-which is sufficiently high to replace wartime
government demands; and 1t means also that we must greatly
increase our export trade above the prewar level.
Our policy Is, of course, TO rely a. much a. possible on pri-
waite enterprise to provide jobs. But the American people will
not accept mass unemployment or mere makeshiit work. There
will be need for the work OF everyone willing and able TO work
and that means close To 60 million jobs.
Full employment means not only iobs-but productive jobs
Americans do not regard jobs that pay s%ubstandard wages as
productive jobs. -UNLN
We must make sure that private enterprise works as it is
supposed 10 work on the basis of initiative and vigorous COM

Development of Resources Important

Our full-employment program requires the extensive deyel-
Opment of our natural resources and other useful public works.
The unde,eloped resources o fthis continent are still vast. Our
river watershed projects will add new and fertile territories to
the United States.
The iva, which was constructed at a cost of S75O,OO0,O0
the cost of waging this war for less than four days-was a
bargain. We have similar opportunities in our other great river
basins.
BY Harvesting the resources of these river basins, as we have
in the Tennessee Valley, we shall provide the same kind of
stimulus to enterprise as was provided by the Louisiana Pur-
chase and the new discoveries in the West during the nineteenth
century.
If we are to avail ourselves fully of the benefits of civil
aviation, and if we are TO use the automobiles we can produce, it
will be necessary to construct thousands of arports and to
overhaul our entire national highway system
The provision of a decent home for every family is a national
necessity, if this country is to be worthy of its greatness-and
that task will itself create great employment opportunities. Most
of our cities need extensive rebuilding.
Much of our farm plant j, in a state of disrepair. To make a
frontal attack IN the problems OF housing and urban recon

and education programs must play essential roles in a program

subjects al a later date.

Consider Good for Whole World

We believe that the extraordinary advances in the means of
inter accommodation between peoples over the past generation
offer a practical method of advancing the mutual understanding
upon which peace and the institutions of peace must rest, and
II is our policy and purpose to use these great chronological
achievements for The common advantage of the world, -
We support the greatest possible freedom of trade and
commerce.
We Americans have always believed in freedom of opp0r-
tunity. and equality of opportunity remains one of the principal
detectives of our national life. What we believe in for individ-
uas. we believe in also for nations. We are opposed to restric-
thons. whether by public act or private arrangement, which dis
tort and impair commerce, transit and trade.
We have housekeeping of our own to do in this regard.
But it is our hope, not only in the interest of our own prosperity
but in the interest of the prosperity of the world, that trade and
commerce and access TO materials and markets may be freer
after this war than ever before in the history of the world.
One of the most heartening events of the year in the inter
national field has been the renaissance of the French people and
the return of the French nation to the ranks of the United
Nations.
Far from having been crushed by the terror of Nazi domi-
nation. the French people have emerged with stronger faith
than ever in the destiny of their country and in the sOundness
of the democratic ideals TO which the French nation has tradition
ally contributed 80 greatly.
During her liberation, France has given proof of her I'M
ceasing determination to fight the Germans, continuing the heroic
efforts of the resistance groups under the occupation and of all
those Frenchmen throughout the world who refused to surrender
after the disaster of 1910.
Today, French armies are again on the German frontier, and
are again fighting shoulder TO shoulder with our sons.
Since our landing in Africa, we have placed in French hands
all the arms and material of war which our resources and the
military situation permitted. And | am glad to say that We are
now about to equip large new French forces with the most mod
ern weapons for combat duty.

Complete Cooperation Necessary

Peace can be made and kept only by the united determination
of free and pcacc-lovng peoples who are willing to work to-
gether-wilinE 20 help one a~nother-wilng TO respect and
tolerate and try 20 understand one another's opinions and
feelings.
The nearer we come 10 Nanquishing our enemies the more
we inevitably become conscious of differences among the NictOrS
We must not let those differences divide ~ and blind us to
our more important common and continuing interests in winning
the war and building the peace.
International cooperation on which enduring peace must be
based is not a one-way street.
Nations like individuals do not always see alike or think
alike, and international cooperation and progress are not helped
by any nation assuming that II has a monopoly Of wisdom or Of
virtue.
In the future world, the misuse of power, as implied in the
term "powerpoiucs," must not be a controIingrfactor in inter
national relations. That Is the heart of the principles to which we
have subscribed.
We cannot deny that power is a factor in world politics an
more than we can deny its existence as a factor in national coli
tics. But in a democratic world, a in a democratic nation, power
must be linked with responsibility, and obliged to defend and
justify itself within the framework of the general good. -
Pertectionism, no less than lsolationism or Imperialism or
power politics may obstruct the paths to international peace.
let us not forget that the retreat to isotonism a quarter Of a
century ago was started not by a direct attack against inter
national cooperation, but against the alleged imperfections Of
the peace.

Welcomes Return Of France

In addition to the contribution which France can make TO
our common victory, her liberation likewise means that her
great influence will again be available in meeting the problems
OF peace.
We fully recognize Frances vital interest in a lasting solu-
ton of the German problem and the contribution which she can
make in achieving international security.
Her formal adherence to declaration by United Nations a
few days ago and the proposal at Dumbarton Oaks discussions,
whereby France would receive one of the five permanent seats
in the proposed security council, demonstrate the extent to which
France has resumed her proper position of strength and leader
ship.
am clear in my own mini that, as an essential factor in
the maintenance of peace in the future, we must have universal
military training after this war, and shaft send a special mes
sage 10 the Congress on this subject.
An enduring peace cannot be achieved without a strong
in the social and economic sense as we'll as in
the military sense.
In the state of the Union message last year, I set forth
what l considered to be an American economic bill of rights.
said then, and say now. that these economic truths
represent "A second bill of lights under which a new basis of Sc
curly and prosperity can ne established for all-regardless of
station. race or creed.
OF these rights the most fundamental, and one on which
the iul6lment of the others in large degree depends, is the right
to a useful and remuneratiNe job in the industries or shops or
farms or mines of the nation"
In turn, Others of the economic rights of American citizen
ship such a the right to a decent home, To a good education. to
good medical care. to social security, TO reasonable farm income,
will, II fulfilled. make major contributions to achieving adequate
levels of employment.

problems Of adjustment connected with ,he liberation OF Europe
to delay the establishment of permanent machinery Tor the
maintenance of peace.
Under the threat of a common danger, the United Nations
joined together in war TO preserve their independence ana their
freedom.
They must nnM Join together ia make secure the iaaePeHa-
ence and freedom of all peaceIoNing states 80 That never aSam
Shall tyranny be- able to divide and conquer. "
International peace and wellbeing, like national peace ana
wcn-being, require constant alertness, continuing cooperation
and organized effort.
International peace and well-being, like national peace ana
wen-being, can be secured only through institutions capable OF
life and growth.
Many of the problems of the peace are upon US even now
while the conclusion of the war is still before us. The atmosphere
of friendship and mutual understanding and determination TO
find a common ground of common understanding, which sur
rounded the conversations at Dumbarton Oaks, gives us reason
to hope that future discussions will succeed IN developing the
democratic and fully migrated world security system toward
which these preparatory conversations were directed.
We and the other United Nations are going forward, with
yigOr and resolution, in our efforts to create such a system by
providing for il strong and flexible institutions of joint and CO.
operative action.
The aroused conscience of humanity will not permit failure
in this supreme endeaVOr.

I945 Can Be Most Important Year

We have a great many problems ahead of us and we must
approach them with realism and courage.
This new year of 1915 can be the greatest year of achieve
ment in human history.
Nineteen hundred and fOrty-fVe can see the final ending Of
the NaZi-Eascist reign of terror in Europe.
Nineteen hundred and forty-hve can see the closing in Of
the forces of retribution about the center Of the malignant power
of imperiaistic Japan.
Most important of all-l945 can and must see the sub
stantal beginning of the organization of world peace. This or
ganEZatiOn must be the fuflment of the promise for which men
have fought and died in this war. Ii must be the justification Of
all the sacrifices that have been made-Of all the dreadful misery
that this world has endured.
We Americans of today. together with our Allies, are making
history-and l hope it will be better history than ever has been
made before.
We pray that we may be worthy Of the unlimited opportu-
mites that God has given us.

I do not wish 10 give the impression that all mistakes can
be avoided and that many disappolntments are not inevitable IN
the making of peace.
But we must not this time lose the hope of establishing an
International order which will be capable of maintaining peace
and realizing through the years more perfect justice between
nations.
To do this we must be on our guard not to exploit and eX-
aggerate the differences between us and our Allies, particularly
with reference to the peoples who have been liberated from
Fascist tyranny.
That Is not the way TO secure a better settlement OF those
differences or to secure international machinery which can rec
uy mistakes which may be made.
l should not be frank If l did not admit concern about many
situations-the Greek and Polish for example. But those stu.
atoms are not as easy or as simple TO deal with as some spokes-

We have obligations, not necessarily legal, 10 the exNed
