SPEECH OF HONORABLE HARRY S. TR IMAN ON LABOR DAY
at LABOR RALLY AT CADILLAC SQUARE,
DETROIT, MICHIGAN.
It is a spec.ial pleasure to be here in Detroit on Labor Day.
Your city is one of the great arsenals of democracy. Here labor astounded
the entire world by breaking all records of production and forging ahead
of schedule the wer pons which we need to crush the enemies of democracy.
Labor has made a viagnificent contribution to the war effort, and I am sure
that it will make similar contributions to the peace effort.
Compare our military position one year a PO with that of today.
Then the gigantic progress that has been made stands out so all can see it.
Despite much unfair criticism, labor has done what was once considered
impossible. By your all-out effort, victory over the forces of evil is fast
approaching.
After the final shot has been fired on the battlefields, we will
still continue the difficult struggle for a lasting peace abroad and for
steady social progress at home. Both of these worthy objectives are hard to
obtain. Only by hard work, fair play and wise leadership can we reach our

goal.
America is again at the crossroads. We must again decide whether
we shall help suffering humanity find the hard road to lasting peace, or
revert to selfish isolationism, which proved such a tragic experiment in the
