total be the i unequivocal answer to the Hopes of the nazis and the Japa Nese that we May become half hearted about this War and that they can get from us a negotiated National service legislation would make it possible to our selves in a to assure cer Tain and speedy act Oarin meeting our needs needed As a supplement in adopting such it is not a necessary to discard the voluntary and cooperative processes which have prevailed up to this this cooperation has already great the con Tribu Toru of our workers to the War Effort has been beyond Meas we must build on the foundations that have already been Laid and supplement the measures now in in order to guarantee the that May toe Neces sary in period that lies at the present time we Are using the inadequate tools at hand to do the Best we can by such expedients As manpower and the use of priority and other to induce men end women to shift from nonessential to essential War Way chiefs support aet i am in receipt of a joint letter from the Secretary of War and the Secretary of the dated Jan uary which says with the experience of three of and after the most thorough we Are convinced that it is now Neces sary to out the statement made by the Congress in the joint resolutions declaring that a state of War existed with Japan and Germany that to bring the conflict to a successful All of the resources of the country Are hereby pled ged by the Congress of the United in our considered which is supported by general Marshall and Admiral this requires total mobilization of our manpower by the passage of a National War service the armed forces need his legis lation to hasten the Day of final and to keep to a mini mum the Cost in pending action by the Congress on the broader aspects of National i recommend that the Gress immediately enact legislation which will be effective in services of the men now classified As 4f in whatever capacity is Best for the War in the Field of foreign we propose to stand together with the United not for the War alone but for the Victory for which the War is it is not Only a common danger which unites us but a common ours is an association not of governments but of the Peoples Hope is As in England in As in Russia in As in China in and through the continent of and throughout the world wherever men love free the Hope and purpose of the people Are for peace that is durable and to will not be easy to create this Peoples we have seen in areas liberated from the nazi and the fascist what problems peace will and we delude ourselves if we attempt to believe wistfully that All these problems can be solved the people Mold peace the firm foundation can be built it will he but the continuance and Assurance of a living peace in the Long be the work of the people peace can be made and kept Only by the United determination of free in aft of the far Flung of our own armed land and sea and in final Hie performed by the average hard fighting Young american who carries weight of Battle on own to we and All future generations of mus pay grateful peace Loving Peoples who Are willing to work to help one to respect and tolerate and try to understand one opinions and we must not let those differences Divide us and Blind us to our More important common and continuing interests in winning the War land building the International cooperation on which enduring peace must be based is not a one Way nations like individuals do not always see alike or think and International cooperation and Progress Are not helped by any nation assuming1 that it has a monopoly of Wisdom or of Power and its responsibility in the future the misuse of As implied in the term must not be a controlling Factor in International that is the heart of the principles to which we Harve sub we cannot deny its exis tence As a Factor in National to but in a democratic As in a democratic Power must be linked with and obliged to defend and justify itself within the framework of the general in our disillusionment after the we preferred International anarchy to International cooperation with nations which did not see and think exactly As we we gave up the Hope of gradually achieving a better peace because we had not the courage to fulfil our responsibilities in an admittedly imperfect must not let that happen or we shall follow the same tragic Road Road to a third world the Atlantic charter we can fulfil our responsibilities for maintaining the Security of our own country Only by exercising our Power and our influence to achieve the principles in which we believe and for which we have in prime minister and i agreed to the principles of the Atlantic these being later incorporated into the United nations declaration of january at that time cer Tain isolationists protested vigorously against our right to pro claim the against the very principles to Many of the same people Are protesting against the possibility of violation of the same it is True that the statement of principles in the Atlantic charter does not provide rules of easy application to each and every one of this War torn worlds tangled but it is a Good and a useful is an essential have principles toward which we can and we shall not hesitate to use our to use it to secure so far As is humanly possible the fulfilment of the principles of the Atlantic we have not shrunk from the military responsibilities brought on by this we cannot and will not shrink from the political responsibilities which follow in the Wake of i do not wish to give the impression that All mistakes can be avoided and that Many disappoint ments Are not inevitable in the making of but we must not this time lose the Hope of establishing an International order which will be capable of maintain ing peace and realizing through the years More perfect Justice be tween to do this we must be on our guard not to exploit and exaggerate the differences Between us and our particularly with reference to the Peoples who have been liberated from fascist Tyran that is not the Way to secure a better settlement of those differences or to secure International machinery which can rectify mis takes which May be 1 Sii Ouid not be Frank if i did not admit concern about Many Situa greek and polish for but Inos situations Are not As easy or As simple to Deal with As some whose sincerity l do not would have us vye hav Obliga not necessarily to the exiled to uie under ground leaders and to our major allies who came much nearer the shadows than we we and our allies have declared that it is our purpose to respect the right of All Peoples to choose the lorm of government under which they will live and to see Sovereign rights and self govern ment restored to those who have been forcibly deprived of but with internal with Many citizens of liberated coun tries still prisoners of War or for ced to labor in it is difficult to guess the kind of self government the people really machinery for peace but we must not permit the Many specific and immediate problems of adjustment connected with the liberation of Europe to delay the establishment of Perma nent machinery for the Maite Nance of under the threat of a common the United nations joined together in War to preserve their Independence and their they must now join together to make secure the in dependence and Freedom of All peace Loving so that never again shall tyranny be Able to Divide and International peace and Well like National peace and can be secured Only through institutions capable of life and we and the other United nations Are going with vigor and in our efforts to create such a system by providing for it Strong and flexible institutions of joint and cooperative the aroused conscience of humanity will not permit failure in this supreme Freedom Trade and Commerce we believe that the extraordinary advances in the Means of intercommunication Between Peoples Over the past generation offer a practical method of advancing the Mutual understanding upon which peace and the institutions of peace must and it is our policy and purpose to use these great technological achievements for the common advantage of the we support the greatest possible Freedom of Trade and the War will leave deep disturbances in the world in our National in Many in Many and in Many it will require determined Effort and responsible action of All of us to find our Way Back to and to help others to find their Way Back to peacetime that holds the values of the past and the Promise of the think that the Overall re Cord in this respect is eloquent the government of the United states of branches of a Good record of the achievement in this the the and the judiciary have worked to Gether for the common i myself want to Tell the members of the Senate and of the House of How Happy i am in our relationships and have not yet had the pleasure of meeting some of the new members in each but i Hope that Opportunity will offer itself in the near we have a great Many problems ahead of us and we must approach them with realism and the new year this new year of 1946 can be the greatest year of achievement in human the year 1945 can see the final ending of the nazi fascist reign of terror in the year 1945 can see the Clos ing in of the forces of retribution about the Center of the malignant Power of imperialistic most important of can and must see the substantial be ginning of the organization of world this organization must be the fulfilment of the pro Mise for which men have fought and died in this it must be the justification of All the sacrifices which have been All the dreadful misery that this world has we americans of to Gether with our Are making i Hope it will be better history than Ever has been made we Pray that we May be worthy of the unlimited opportunities that god has Given
