Speaking Of communism,
the President said, don't think
you are going to, conceal faults
by concealing evidence that
they ever existed. Don't be
afraid to go in your library
and read every book as long
as any document does not Of
fend our own ideas of decency.
That, he said, should be the
only censorship.
To defeat communism we
must know what it is, what it
teaches; why it has such an
appeal for men; why are so
many people swearing allegi-
ance to 1t. We must light It.
with something better, he said.
Not try to concealrthe thinking
Of our own people. They are
part Of America and even if
they think ideas that are con
-
trary to ours they have a right
to have them, a right to record
them and a right to have them
in places where they are acces
sible to others.
Racial Discrimination
We have the disgrace Of RAJ
cial discrimination, more we
have prejudice against people
because of their religion. We
have crime on the docks. We
have not had the courage to
uproot these things although
we know they are wrong.
The President said that it is
not enough merely to say 4
love America, and t o salute
the flag. And to take off your
-
hat as it goes by and to help
sing The Star Spangled Ban
ner.", Wonderful-we love to-
do them and our hearts swell
with pride, because those who
went before you worked to
give US today many years, this
pride and this is a pride in
this institution that We think
has got great happiness and we
know has got great content
ment and freedom Of soul to
many people.

Selling more ground before
the truce goes into effect
Inasmuch as the forces may be
compelled to remain where
they were on the day the truce
S signed it probably is being
done for the sake of prestige.
Each side will be required to
draw back a mile and a half
