alone"

Eve are determined" he de-
elared, that every citizen Of this
Nation shall have an equal right
and equal opportunity to grow in
wisdom and In stature and TO take
his place In the control Of this
Nations destiny"
Other goals he set were: az the
protection and development Of
human resources, (2) the conserva-
ton and use of natural resources
so that they may contribute most
effectively to the welfare Of the
people, (S) the raising Of the living
standard Of all the people by
strengthening the economic system
and wider sharing Of the goods the
country produces, and az world
peace based on principles Of free
dom and justice and equality Of all
nations.
Mr.. Truman emphasized as a
credO Of the Nation the faith Of
the people, 4 belief In the dignity
Of man and his creation In the
image Of God, and q profound
devotion to the welfare and
rights Of the individual as q
human being.
Declaring that the state Of the
Union reflects the changing nature
Of the world today, the President
pointed to great activity" show
ing evidence Of great energy
capacity for economic development
and spiritual growth. He also
pointed to concurrent equally great
questions" rejecting great ankle
ties" and great aspirations" Of the
people for life more worthwhile.
The answers 10 these questions,
which this country seeks, Mr.. Tru-
man declared, must "embody the
moral and spiritual elements Of
tolerance, unselhshness and broth
erhood upon which true freedom
and opportunity must rest"
President Truman proposed
examining the state Of the Union
from the basis Of accomplishments
of the last decade and the goals
for the next.
The past decade, he said,
brought US new courage and new
confidence in the ideals Of our free
democracy. Our deep belief in free
dom and justice was reinforced in
the crucible Of war.
Proposing that the country look
forward toward those goals for the
future which have the greatest
bearing upon the foundations Of our
democracy and the happiness Of our
people," the Chief Executive de-
clared:
"0ur first goal is to secure fully
the essential human rights Of our
citizens.
Concern for Human Rights
THE United States has always
had a deep concern for human
rights. Religious freedom, free
speech and freedom Of thought are
cherished realities in our land. Any
denial Of human rights is a denial
Of the basic beliefs Of democracy
and Of our regard for the worth
Of each individual.
To-day, however, some Of our
citizens are still denied equal OPP
portunity for education, for jobs
and economic advancement and for
the expression Of their views at the
polls.
Some Denied Protection
"Most serious Of all, some are
denied equal protection under our
laws. Whether discrimination is
based on race, or creed, or color,
or land Of origin, It is utterly con-
trary to American ideals Of de-
mocracy.

United States Facing
Huge Potato Surplus
CONTINUED from nrst page)

ity is a standard for measuring
market prices intended to be equal
ly' fair to farmers and users of
farm products.)
Farm leaders fear that a serious
potato surplus would attract so
much public attention to the sup
port program that Congress might
vote lower guarantees than the go
to 80 per cent of parity favored by
most farm spokesmen.
The support program this year
will have to hold prices above last
years levels. That's because the
parity price is higher-since farm
costs have risen too.
Some of the potatoes bought by
the government will be diverted
into live stock, feed. alcohol and
other by-prOducts. But because oi
shortage of processing facilities
officials said some of the spudS
may have to be dumped. Potatoes
moving to market this spring anC
summer contain a high percentage
of moisture and are thus very
perishable.
The government has been tryinl
to get farmers to produce fewel
potatoes. Farmers actually hav,
cut down on potato acreages, bu
the use of more fertilizers, bettel
seed stock and improved insect
cides have increased yields.
