'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

our economy for the future.
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

human chattels. Asia was essea

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

t will decide this fall whether they
wish to turn over this 1944 Job

We have made mistakes. Who

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."

L-335 LIMITS
THE NEW RULING ON THE USE OF LUMBS
Beginning August 1st the use of LUMBER is limited to jobs
considered ESSENTIAL to winning the war. We approve and
co-operate with this 100. Consumers are required to furnish
CERTIFICATE (or directive) in order to receive lumber. FARM
ERS will follow procedure set up by War Food Administration,
contact your local agriculture committee. Public Market Bldg.,
Eugene. All others, apply to WAR PRODUCTION BOARD, 806
Bedell Bldg., Portland, "Oregon.
Avoid disappointment by not asking us to fill unauthorized
orders for LUMBER. The infinitesimal amount (about 1) al
lowed dealers for unrated orders, will only be used for real
emergencies such as broken joist, step or equipment or possibly
few pieces required to support insulation, shingles or some of
the many items of moulding and building material not covered
by L-335.
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.
LET US EXPLAIN TO YOU HOW TO DO THESE AND MANY OTHER PE0
AND WORTHWHILE JOBS. KEEP IN TOUCH WITH YOUR DEALER FOR LAT&
