The unprovoked attack o f Japan
on American possessions simply mark
ed the occuience o f the inevitable.
For many months most authorities
have been convinced that we could
not avoid formal participation in the
war that now engulfs all the conti
nents. The big question was when
and wheie the spark would be ignit
ed. The Japanese militarists spurred
by their Axis comrades have answer
ed that question fo r us and for the
world.
The American people enter this
war with a sense o f grim and bit.
ter necessity. No thinking man wants
war. It is to the great credit o f our
government that it did everything
possible within the bounds o f our
natonal honor and interests to main
tain peace. That e ffo rt failed thru
no fault o f those who administer our
governmental affairs. It failed be
cause ruthless conquerors o f our
time are bent on world domination.
Nothing less can satisfy them. And
so, at last the democratic world is
allied in arms against the totalità >
ian world in the greatest war history
has ever known.
Here in America the task is clear.
The American people will support
their government to the limit and
they will make whatever sacrifices
prove necessary. The issue o f inter
vention veisus non-intervention is as
last years news. The isolatonist lead
ers displaying that patriotism which
characterizes all true Americans how
ever d ifferen t their opinions have
pledged their full support to the Pre
sident and the nation.
From this
time on it is the job o f all to show
the world that a free America is more
than a match for any adversary.
The soldiers and the sailors who
figh t in this war carry into the bat.
tie a traditional freedom. They are
not the unthinking “ helling” subjects
o f a dictator. They are not slaves,
living and dying like puppets at the
whim o f a master. They have been
reared in the freeest o f all great na
tions under the ideals which Lincoln
called, “ The last, best hope o f earth.”
They know iwhat they are fighting
for. They know what freedom is. And
they know the sorrowful truth that
blood must be shed if freedom is to
be preserved.
Back o f the fighting men o f Am
erica will be a production machine
unparalleled on earth. Labor and in
dustry will not shirk the gigantic task
that time and circumstance have giv
en it. The price o f failure would be
the death o f freedom. The days ah
ead will be hard and bitter, but no
one can doubt what the eventual end
will be victory fo r freedom, for a
way o f life that respects the digni
ty o f man.
It is all there in one word, free
dom. Freedom o f speech, freedom of
press, freedom o f worship, freedom
o f enterpt ise. These are what we pos
sess and these are iwhat we are fight
ing to save and perpetuate forever.
Am erican industry is ready for
this war. Go down the roster o f our
great private enterprises, the rail
roads, the power systems, the steel
mills, the motor makers, the coal and
metal mines, the oil wells and refin
ing plants, the airplane factories and
the rest. American enterprise repre
sents a veritable miracle of prepared
ness. And now the tempo of produc
tion w ill be stepped up again and ag
ain. There can be no “ business as us.
ual,” “ strikes as usual,” or “ politics
as usual” from now on.
Let there be no despair. Let there
be instead, uncompromising determi
nation. W ar has been forced on us.
It has been forced un us by a nation
to which we offered firm friend
ship, economic cooperation ,aid in
solving its problems, everything in
short except the right to pillage and
destroy and conquer. Now our ene
mies will learn how free men .backed
by the limitless resources o f our
free enterprise system can acquit
themselves in battle.
