ficiency in defense and display

ficiency in defense and display
stamina in purpose.
We must be willing, indi-
vidually and as a Nation, to
accept whatever sacrifices may
be required of us. A people
that values its privileges above
its principles soon loses both.
These basic precepts are not
lofty distractions, far re-
moved from matters of daily
living. They are laws of spirit
ual strength that generate and
define our material strength.
Patriotism means equipped
forces and prepared citizenry.
Moral stamina means more
energy and more productivity,
on the farm and in the factory.
Love of liberty means the
guarding of every resource that
makes freedom possible-from
the sanctity of our families and
the wealth of our soil to the
genius Of our scientists.
So each citizen plays an in
dispensable role. The produc-
tivity of our heads, our hands
and our hearts is the source of
all the strength we can COM
mand, for both the enrich
ment of our lives and the VIM
ming of peace.
No person, no home, no COM
munity can be beyond the
reach of this call. We are
summoned to act in wisdom
and in conscience; to work
with industry. to teach with
persuasion, to preach with
conviction, to weigh our every
deed with care and with COM
passion. For this truth must
be clear before us: Whatever
America hopes to bring to pass
in the world must first come
to pass in the heart OF Amer
lea.
The peace we seek, then, is
nothing less than the practice
and the fulfillment of our
whole faith, among ourselves
and in our dealings with 9TH
ers. It signifies more than
stilling the guns, easing the
sorrow. of war.
More than an escape from
death, it is a way of life.
More than a haven for the
weary, it is a hope for the
brave.
This is the hope that beck
onS us onward in this century
of trial. This is the work that
awaits us all, to be done with
bravery, with charity-and
with prayer to Almighty, God.

make all men equal in His
sight
In the light of the equality,
we know that the virtues most
cherished by free people
love of truth, pride of work,
devotion to country-all are
treasures equally precious in
the lives of the most humble
and of the most exalted. The
men who mine coal and fire
furnaces and balance ledgers
and turn lathes and pick cot
ton and heal the sick and
plant corn all serve as
proudly, and as profitably, for
America as the statesmen who
draft treaties or the legislators
who enact laws. fs
This faith rules our whole
way of life. It DEGREES that we,
the people, elect leaders not
to rule but to serve. 1t asserts
that we have the right to
choice of our own work and to
the reward of our own toll.
It inspires the initiative that
makes our productivity the
wonder of the world. And it
warns that any man who seeks
to deny equality in all his
brothers betrays the spirit of
the free and invites the moe
kerry of the tyrant.
1t is because we, all of us,
hold to these principles that
the political changes accom-
plished this day do not imply
turbulence, upheaval or dis
order. Rather this change ex-
presses a purpose of strength
ening our dedication and de-
votion to the precepts of our
founding documents, a con-
scious renewal of faith in our
country and in the watchful.
ness of a Divine Providence.
The enemies of this faith
know no god but force, no
devotion but its use. They tu-
tor men in treason. They feed
upon hunger of others. What
ever defies them, they torture,
especially the Truth.
Here. then, is joined no pal
lid argument between slightly
differing PHILOSOPHERS. This
conflict strikes directly at the
faith of our fathers and the
lives of our sons. No principle
or treasure that we hold, from
the spiritual knowledge of our
free schools and churches to
the creative magic of free
labor and capital, nothing lies
beyond the reach of the strug-
gle.
Freedom is pitted against
slavery; light against dark.

"a Honoring the identity
and heritage of each nation
of the world, we shall never
use our strength to try to i'm
press upon another people our
own cherished political and
economic institutions.
60 Assessing realistically
the needs and capacities of
proven friends of freedom, we
shall strive to help them to
achieve their own security and
well-being. Likewise. we shall
count upon them to assume,
within the limits of their re-
sources, their full and just bur-

freedom.
t6) Recognizing economic

basis of military strength and
the free worlds peace, we shall
strive to foster everywhere,
and to practice ourselves, poll

In the Western Hemisphere,
we join with all our neighbors
in the work of perfecting a
community of fraternal trust
and common purpose.
In Europe, we ask that en-
lightened and inspired leaders
of the Western nations strive
with renewed vigor to make
the unity of their peoples a
reality. Only as free Europe
unitedly marshals it's strength
can it effectively safeguard.
even with our help, its spirit

90 Conceiving the defense
Of freedom, like freedom itself,
to be one and indivisible, we
hold all continents and peoples
in equal regard and honor.
We reject any insinuation that
one race or another. one people
or another, is in any sense in
ferior or expendable.
90 Respecting the United
Nations as the living sign of all
peoples hope for peace, we
shall strive to make it not
merely an eloquent symbol but

sand-fold intensity in the
event of war.
So are we persuaded by
necessity and by belief that
the strength of all free peo-
pies lies in unity, their dam
ger in discord.
To produce this unity, to
meet the challenge of our
time. destiny has laid upon
our country the responsibility
of the free worlds leadership.
So it is proper that we assure
our friends once again that, in
the discharge of this respon-
sibllity. We. Americans, know
and observe the difference be-
tween world leadership and
imperialism; between firm
ness and turbulence; between a
thoughtfully calculated goal
and spasmodic reaction to the
stimulus of emergencies.
We wish our friends the
world over to know this above
all: We face the threat-not
with dread confusion - but
with confidence and convic-
ton.
We feel this moral strength
because we know that We are
not helpless prisoners of his
tory. We are free men. We
shall remain free, never to be
proven guilty of the one cap
ital offense against freedom. a
lack of Staunch faith.
In pleading our just cause
before the bar of history and
in pressing our labor for world
peace. we shall be guided by
certain fixed principles.
These principles are:
Cd Abhorring war as
chosen way to balk the pur-
poses of those who threaten
us. we hold it to be the first
task of craftsmanship to de-
velop the strength that will
deter the forces of aggression
and promote the conditions of
peace. For. as it must be the
supreme purpose of all free
men, so it must be the dedica-
ton of their leaders, to save
humanity from preying upon
itself.
In the light of this princi.
pie, we stand ready to engage
with any and all others in
joint effort to remove the
causes Of mutual fear and dis
trust among nations, and so
to make possible drastic re-
duction Of ornaments. The
sole requisites for undertaking
such efforts are that-in their
purpose-they be aimed logi-
cally and honestly toward Sc
cure peace for all; and that
in their result-they provide
methods by which every parti-
cipating nation will prove
good faith in carrying out it's
pledge.
CD Realizing that COM
mon sense and common decen-
cy alike dictate the futility of
appeasement, we shall never
try to placate an aggressor by
the false and wicked bargain
of trading honor for security.
For in the final choice a SOL
dier's pack is not so heavy a
burden as a prisoners chains.
90 Knowing that only a
United States that is strong
and immensely productive can
help defend freedom in our
world, we view our Nations

For your nose tells you what your eyes can't

smell clean. And it's wonderful smell.
This clean, sweet smell depends lot upon
the soap or detergent you use. Some products
leave clothes with stale smell, due to insoluble
soap. Some detergents, as you know, leave
medicinal, ,or chemical odor.

hanging outdoors on fine Spring morning. And
that IS just exactly how it sciu smell when you

you dry them indoors or out, on a line or in a

other detergent. Use it for eUey cleaning pur-

he conceded an investigation
of the cab companys returns
would be made.
Commissioner Andrews had
said the Federal agency was re-
viewing the tax status of the
cab company and it's stock
holders at the time the grand
jury launched its investigation.
Mr.. Morrissett was asked if
his department had had oc-
casion to examine the tax re-
turns for the years 1914 through
1947-the period cited by the
grand jury.
"I was as much surprised as
anybody else," he said OF the
jurys action.
Follow Any Leads.
"Our rule has always been that
we follow any leads we have
about any possible tax def
ciency," the commissioner said.
Through the years there have
been any number of Federal tax
cases followed through by the
State. It's the policy of this de-
partment to see that the States
interest is protected"
Mr.. MorriSsett emphasized,
however, that while the Federal
indictments involve criminal
charges, the State has never pros
ecuted any tax evasion case as
a criminal charge. In fact,
he added, it was not until 1850
that the General Assembly en-
acted a criminal tax statute and
this would not act retroactively
In the case of the taxi COM
pany inquiry, Mr.. MorriSSett
said, any charges would have to
be brought as civil suit, which
provides a penalty of 100 per
cent of any deficiency. If any
settlement is reached, he said
State law prevents this being
made public.
Mr.. MorrisSett also said the
statute of limitations had run
out on part of the period cited
by the Federal grand jurors. The

law for non-fraud cases is three
