"There can be no greater contribution to the welfare of our nation and the world than service in the cause of freedom. We are too much inclin- ed to take our own freedom as matter of course. We need to de- fend it always and we need now to do all that we can to extend the blessings of freedom throughout the world
 Newspapers have played splendid part in this great cause. and I know they can be counted upon in inc future" the Chief Ex- ecutive concluded.
 If practices of previous years continue, the week will be ob- served almost universally. It will include talks before service clubs, plant visitations by school chill dren and other mass meetings ad-
