SECOND DRAFT
1 5 -
For fourteen years, that ever since Japan first invaded
and women
Manchuria, m men ^ have lived in a world ruled or threatened by force
intended for aggression and conquest. Until El Alamein, Stalingrad
midnay
and # the powers of evil were stronger than the powers
of good - threatening to spread their rule across the world. We
'NATIONAL
will not run that risk again.
ARCHIVES AND
This ship is a symbol of our commitment to the United
Nations Organization to reach out anywhere in the world and to help
the peace-loving nations of the world stop any international gangster.
A hundred hours after leaving New York this ship could be off the
coast of Africa. In five days she could cross the western Pacific
from Pearl Harbor to the Philippines. This vessel alone could put
more than a hundred fighting planes over a target.
We all look forward to the day when law rather than force
will be the arbiter of international relations. We shall strive to
make that day come soon. Until it does come let us make sure that
no possible aggressor is going to be tempted by any weakness on the
part of the United States.
These, then, are the two huge tasks before us: realizing
resource
for our own people the full life which our riches make possible; and
helping to achieve for people everywhere an era of peace. Franklin D.
