about that phrase. Faith of Our
Fathers
'This faith is the basis of free
government and the basis of our
ConStitution-the greatest docu-
ment ever written in the history
of man."
Mr.. Truman added: "Now there
are many other nations that share
our faith. This faith is the only
hope for freedom. Today it is
being threatened by terrible new
danger. Hitler and Mussolini
never had anything like the secret
police of the Kremlin.
THE situation in Russia is al
most fantastic. Nobody there can
go to bed without the fear that
the secret police may come in the
night and take him away, never
to be seen again. The Soviet is
extending this slave system to the
countries they now control.
Children Carried OFF.
Il have it on the authority from
the Bishop of Berlin that thou
sands of children have been kid
naped in Eastern Berlin. They
carry them off and they are never
heard of again."
The President warned that this
was the kind of danger facing the
United States. Then he declared:
1T is our business, and our duty,
to keep this thing from spreading.
We must try to create world peace
under law. We must have
worldwide organization of nations F.,
that win put a stop to war and
settle disputes peacefully"
He spoke out sharply against /
petty political pickering and
character assassination in this i
country" and said, if I'VE can
stop that. if we act in accordance
With the faith of our fathers, we /,
will win that war and we will =
lttain world peace \
