Mr speaker, the President and members of
a
THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES:
In my message to the Congress of September 6, 1945, I stated
that I would communicate further with respect to a long range program
of national military security for the United States. I now present
to the Congress my recommendations with respect to one essential part
of this program - universal training.
The United States now has a fighting strength greater than
other
at any time in our history. It is greater than that of any other
nation in the world.
We are strong because of many things: our natural re-
sources which we have so diligently developed; our great farms and
our
mines, and factories and shipyards and industries which we have so
)
energetically created and operated. But above all else, we are
strong because of the courage and vigor and skill of a liberty
shall
loving people who are determined that this nation remain forever
1
free.
With that strength comes grave responsibility. With it
also
must come a continuing sense of leadership in the world for justice
A
and peace, and humanity.
