WE MUST
KEEP GOING
In view of the reverses
suffered by our forces in
Europe we must get be
hind them more than ever
and help with all we have,
in order to save what we
have and what we are
fighting for.
A few months ago Win
ston Churchill said: “The
Germans have two hopes;
one, that the war will be
prolonged to the extent
that the allied forces be
come tired and lax in their

desire to finish the war;
and, two, that the three al
lied forces fighting against
the Germans would come
to disagreement on points
of war and peace.”
It seems the point has
been missed, in all the
prophecies thus far made
by arm-chair strategists.
The strength of Germany
is still a tremendous force
to be considered, and our
diagnosis of conditions in
Naziland can be terribly
wrong.
We must take into con
sideration that the Ger
mans have been preparing
for this war much longer
than we have, and the en
tire population is in the
war effort whether they
like it or not.
We have come a long
way with our present
amount of war effort but
we shall have to increase
that effort considerably if
we are to get back to
something like normal in
the near future.
Nothing must be spar
ed, either financially or in
labor.
We must resolve to do
all we can, not just our
I best, but all-out for the fi
nal peace on earth, and
good will toward all men.
The thousands who have
paid the price of our fu
ture security, cannot point
an accusing finger at us
when we try to enter
heaven, if we stand shoul
der to shoulder to them
now.
We are not called upon
to put in the ’unending
hours of agony and fitful
sleep which the men
must endure at the front.
Nor are we called upon to
stand up against the hail
of steel, lead and fire.
All we are asked for is
more supplies, faster and
yet faster.
A relatively simple job
if we do our share.
We must rally from our
smug sense of security.
Let’s go, America. Let’s
do the job right.
Introductory Statement At
the United Nations For
um on America’s Op
portunity.
(By Harold H. Burton,,
Senator from Ohio)
“As we meet in Phila
delphia, it is fitting that
we first of all steep our- ;
selves in that deep faith of
our fathers who here i
brought forth ‘a new na
tion, conceived in liberty
and dedicated to the prop
osition that all men are
created equal.”
“As we think of the bat
tlefields of yesterday, to
day and tomorrow, let us
also repeat those words of
dedication which Lincoln
uttered at Gettysburg for
our everlasting inspira
tion: ‘It is * * * * for us to
be he dedicated to the
great task remaining be
fore us * * * that we here
highly resolve that these
dead shall not have died
| died in vain; (and) that
| this nation (to which we
■ may add this world), un
j der God, shall have a new
l birth of freedom * * *.
[ In the present war, un
[ der the greatest test of his
\ tory, the brave young men
[ and women of our armed
► forces, the competent
► business men and work
* ers in our factories, and
\
the tireless farmers in our
fields, together with our
people in every walk of
life drawn from all orig
ins, races and creeds have
proven that the voluntary
unity of a free people
produces a dynamic
strength far exceeding the!
regimented power to
which the manacled sub
jects of any form of tyr
anny can attain.
The fundamental mis
sion of America is that of
demonstrating the practi
cality of the Golden Rule.
America is the land of the
common man because,
however humble his
origin, he is free here to
rise to the full scope of his
abilities. America is the
governmental expression
of that fundamental unity
among men so often ex
pressed in the more gen
eral theme of the Brother
hood of Man and recog
nized in the common Fa
therhood of God.
