Page 12 Eugene Register-Guard, Friday, July 21, 1944 'Let Experienced Hands Plan The War And Post-War World Roosevelt Warns Nation In Accepting Democrat Nomination ''WITH PRESIDENT ROOSE VELT, t Pacific Coast Naval Base, July 21 UJ9 The text of Presi dent Roosevelt'! acceptance speech: Members of the convention, my friends: i I have already indicated to you why I accept the nomination which you have offered me in spite of my desire to retire to the quiet of private life. : You in this convention are aware of what I have sought to gain for the nation, and you have asked me to continue. ' It seems wholly likely that with in the next four years our armed forces, and those of our allies, will have gained a complete vic tory over Germany and Japan, and that the world once more will be at peace under a system, we hope, which will prevent a new world war. In any event, new hands will then have full oppor tunity to realize the ideals which we seek. Leadership Progressive In the last three elections the people of the United States havp transcended party affiliation. Not only democrats but also forward looking republicans and millions of independent voters have turned to progressive leadership a lead ership which has sought consist ently and with fair success to advance the lot of the average American citizen who had been so forgotten during the period after the last war. I am confident that they will continue to look to that same kind of liberalism to build A) RECORDS Daces fl&d CopHol j Victor, Columbia!

I am sure that you will under stand me when I say that my de cision, expressed to you formally tonight, is based solely on a sense of obligation to serve if called upon to do so by the people of the United States. I shall not campaign In the usual sense, for the office. In these days of tragic sorrow, I do not consider it fitting. Besides, in these days of global warfare, I shall not be able to find the time. I shall, however, feel free to report to the people the facts about matters of concern to them and especially to correct any misrepresentations. Speaking from Base During the past few days I have been coming across the whole width of the continent, to a naval base where I am speaking to you now from my train. As I was crossing the fertile lands and the wide plains and the great divide, I could not fail to think of the new relationship be tween the people of our farms and cities and villages and the people of the rest of the world overseas on the islands of the Pacific, in the far east, and In the other Amer icas, in Britain and Normandy and Germany and Poland and Russia itself. For Oklahoma and California are becoming a part of all these distant spots as greatly as Massa chusets and Virginia were a part of the European picture in 1776. Today, Oklahoma and California are being defended in Normandy and Saipan; and they must be de fended there for what happens in Normandv and Saipan vitally af- tects the security and well-being of Oklahoma and California. Scope Changes Slowly Mankind changes the scope and breadth of Its thought and vision slowly indeed. In the days of the Roman empire eyes were focused on Europe and the Mediterranean area. The civilization in the far east was barely known. The Am erican continents were unheard of. Even after the people of Europe began to spill over to other conti nents, the people of North Am erica in colonial days knew only their Atlantic seaboard and a small portion of the other Americas, and they turned most of the time for trade and international relation ship to Europe. Africa then was t American business, agriculture, considered onlv as the orovider of industry, finance and labor in OUR CITIZENS IN SERVICE WANTED ITEMS ON SALE SATURDAY MORNING (.-..' - Y 0 t& i MEN'S BIB OVERALLS Famous Pay Day overalls In extra heavyweight blue den im.

During the nineteenth century era of development and expansion on this continent we felt a natural isolation geographic, economic and political from the vast world which lay overseas. , Change Is Difficult Not until this generation, have people here and elsewhere been compelled more and more to wid en the orbit of their vision to in clude every part of the world. It has been a wrench perhaps-j-but a necessary one. It is good that we are all getting that broader vision.f or we shall need it after the war. The isola tionists and ostriches who plagued our thinking before Pearl Harbor are becoming slowly extinct. The American people now know that all nations of the world large and small will have to play their appropriate part in keeping the peace by force, and in deciding peacefully the disputes which might lead to wars. We all know how truly the world has become one that if Germany and Japan, for example, were to come through this war with their philosophies established and their armies intact, our own grandchildren would again have to be fighting in their day for their liberties and their lives. Oceans Are Shrinking Some day soon we shall all be able to fly to any other part of the world within twenty-four hours. Oceans will no longer figure as greatly in our physical defense as they have in the past. For our own safety and for our own economic good, therefore if for no other reason we must take a leading part in the maintenance of peace and in the increase of trade among all nations of the world. That is why your government for many months has been laying plans, and studying the problems of the near future preparing it self to act so that the people of the United States may not suffer hardships after the war, may con tinue constantly to improve its standards, and may join with other nations in doing the same. There are even now working toward that end, the best staff in our his tory men and women of all par ties and from every part of the nation. I realize that planning is a word which in some places brings forth sneers, but, for ex- l ample, before our entry into the war it was planning wmch made possible the magnificent organiza tion and equipment of the army and navy of the United States which are fighting for us and for civilization today. Planning Is Needed Improvement through planning is the order of the day. Even in military affaira things do not stand still. An a"rmy or a navy trained and equipped and fighting according to a 1932 model would not have been a safe reliance in 1944. And if we are to progress in our civilization, improvement is necessary in other fields in the physical things which are part of mi, rinilv liven. nnH also in the j concepts of social Justice at home and abroad. I am now at this naval base in the performance of my duties un der the constitution. The war waits for no elections. Decisions must be made plans must be laid strategy must be carried out. They dj not concern merely a party or a group. They will affect the daily lives of Americans for generations to come. What Is the job before us In 1944? First, to win the war to win it fast, to win it overpower ingly. Second, to form worldwide i international organizations, and to arrange to use the armed force of the sovereign nations of the world to make another war impossible within the foreseeable future. ; Third, we build an economy for 1 our returning veterans and for all Americans which will provide employment and decent standards of living. People Will Decide j The people of the United States t will decide this fall whether they wish to turn over this 1944 Job this world-wide job to inoxperi l enced and immature hands, to , those who opposed lend lease and international cooperation against the forces of aggression and tyr anny CpL Clair L.

They will not decide these questions by reading glowing words or platform pledges the mouthings of these who are will ing to promise anything and everything contradictions, incon sistencies, impossibilities any thing which might snare a few votes here and a few votes there. Record Is Cited They will decide on the record the record written on the seas, on the land and in the skies. They will decide on the record of our domestic accomplishments in recovery and reform since March 4, 1933. They will decide on the record of our war production and food production unparalleled in all history, in spite of the doubts and sneers of those in high places who said it could not be done. They will decide on the record of the international food confer ence, of UNRRA, of the inter national labor conference, of the international education confer ence, of the international mone tary conference. They will decide on the record written in the Atlantic charter, at Casablanca, at Cairo, at Mos cow and Teheran. We have made mistakes. Who has not? Things have not always been perfect. Are they ever, in hu man affairs? '' Objective In View But the objective at home and abroad has always been clear before us. Constantly, we have made steady, sure progress toward that objective. The rec ord is plain and unmistakable as to that for everyone to read. The greatest war-time president in our history, after a war-time election which he called "the most reliable indication of public purpose in this country" set the goal for the United States, in terms as applicable today as they were in 1865 terms which the human mind cannot improve: "With firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his or phan to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations."

We hope for amendments soon to L-335 (8 directives added to date) allowing certain items of lumber not essential to the war effort to be sold freely for repairs and - maintenance and until such time why not take care of the many permissable jobs such as reroofing with cedar shingles or covering side walls with cedar shingles or shakes, use insulating wallboards and tile to decorate and at the same time insulate.
