THE PRICE OF FREE WORLD VICTORY

Address by the Hon. Henry A. Wallace, Vice President

of the United States, at a dinner of the Free World

Association at the Hotel Commodore, New York City,
May 8, 1942, 10:00 - 10:30 P.M., E.W.T., broadcast

nationally by the Columbia Broadcasting System,

 
We, who in a formal or an informal way represent most of the free
peoples of the nee, are met here tonight in the interests of the
millions in all the nations who have freedom in their souls. To my
mind this meeting has just.one purpose--to let those millions in other
countries know that here in the United States are 130 million men,
women and children who are in this war to the finish. Our American
people are utterly resolved to go on until they can strike the relent-
less blows that will assure a complete victory, and with it win a new
day for the lovers of freedom, everywhere on this earth,

This is a fight between a slave world and a free world, Just as
the United States in 1862 could not remain half slave and half free,
BS. 38 1942 the world must make its decision for a complete etamneee one
way or the other,

As we begin the final stages of this fight to the death between
the free world and the slave world, it is worth while to refresh our
minds about the march of frecdom for the common man, The idea of freee
dome=the freedom that we in the United States know and love so welle-
is derived from the Bible with its extraordinary emphasis on the dignity
of the individual, Democracy is the only true political expression of
Christianity. |

The prophets of the Old Testament were the first to preach social
justice. But that which was sensed by the prophets many centuries bes
on Christ was not given complete and powerful political expression
until our nation was formed as a Federal Union a century and a half
ago. Even then, the march of the common people had just begun. Most

of them did not yet know how to read and write, There were no public
‘schools to which all children could go. Mon and women can not be really

free until they have plenty to cat, and time

think and, talk things over. Down the years, the people of the United
States have moved steadily forward in the practice of democracy. Through

universal education, they nov can read and write and form opinions of

-production-ethat is, how to make a living. They have learned, and are
still learning, the art of self-government.

if we were “to measure freedom by stendards of nutrition, education
and self-government, we might rank the United States and certain nations
of Western Europe very high. But this would not be fair to other
nations where education has heceme widespread only in the last 20 years.
In many nations, a generation ago, 9 out of 10 of the people could not
read or write. Russia, for cxample, was changed from an jiliterate to
a literate nation within one generation and, in the process, Russia's
appreciation of freedom was enormously enhanced. In China, the in-
crease during the past 30 ycars in the ability of the people to-read
and write has been matchod by their increased interest in real liberty.

RveerEnSte; “béadine and wpihingsare accomnaniied by industrial pro-
press, nad industrial progress sooner or later inevitably brings e strong
labor movement. From a long-time and fundamental point of view, there
‘are no backward peoples which are lacking in mechanical sense. Russiens,
Chinese, and the Indians both of India oil the Americas all learn to
read and write and operate machine’ just as well as your children and
my children, Everywhere the common people are on the march, Thousands
of them are learning to read and write, Learning to think together,

learning to use tools. These people are learning to think and work
together in labor movements, some of which may Hs extrome or impractical
at.first, but which wary vill scttle down to serve abtcktively
the interests of the common Mane : |

-When the frecdom-loving people narche-whe ial the farmers have an
opportunity te buy land at reasonable prices and to sell the produce
of their land through their own organizations, when workers have the
opportunity to form unions and bargain through them collectively, and
when the children of all the people have an oppor” tunity to attend
schools which teach them truths of the real world in which they live
--vhen these opportvmitics are opon to everyone, then the world moves
straight ahead. ,

rt in coumiries where tho ability to read and write has been

recently acquired or where the people have had no Long canteens in
governing themselves on the basis of their own thinking, it is easy
for demagogues to arise and prostitute the mind of the common man to
their own base ends. os denagogue may get financial help from
- some voneon of wealth who is unaware of what the end result will be.
With this backing, the demagogue may deminatc the minds of the people,
and, from whatever degree of froedom they have, — them backward into
slavery. Herr Thyssen, the wealthy German steel man, little realized
what he was doing when he gave He tier pats money to enable him to
play on the minds of the ens people, The demagogue is the curse of
the modern world, and of all the cemagogues, the worst are those fie
naneed by well-meaning wealthy men who sincerely believe that their
wealth is likely to be safer if ace can hire men with political "it"
to change the sign poste and lure the people back into slevory of the
most degraded kind, Unfortunately for the wealthy men who finance

movements of this sort, as well as for the people th hemselves, the
successful demagogue is a p overful petit sei “ikon once It out of his

all of the people of the world get enough to eat. Half in fun and half
seriously, I said the other day to Madame Litvinoff: "The object of
this war is to make sure that everybody in the world has the privilege
of drinking a quart of milk a day.". She replied: "Yes, even half a
pint." The peace must mean a better standard of living for the common
man, not merely in the United States and England, but also in India,
Russia, Chine and Latin America == not merely in the United Nations,
but also in Germany and Italy and Japan.

Some have spoken of the "Aneriean Century.". I say that the century
on which we are entering -- the century which will come out of this war
ee can be and must be the century of the common man. Perhaps it will
be Ancrica's opportunity to suggest tho freedoms and duties by which
_ the common man thas live. Everywhere the common man must learn to
build his own industries with his own hands in a practical fashion.

as they become productive mechanics, their standard of living will double

months.

And then there is the task of transportation to the line of battle
by truck, by railroad car, by ship. We shall joyously deny curselves
so that our transportation system is improved by at least 30 percent.

I need say little about the duty to fight. Some people declare,
and Hitler believes, that the American paopie have grovmn soft in the
last generation. Hitler agents continually preach in South America
that we are cowards, matte to use, like the “brave German soldior
the weapons of modern wer. Tt is true that American youth hates war
with a holy hatred, But because of that fact and becauso Hitler and
the German people stand as the very symbol of war, we shall fight with
a tircless cnthusiasm until war and the possibility of war have becn
removed from this planet. We * sna cleense the plague spot of Lurope,
which is Hitler's Germany, and with it the hellshole Asia --Japan.

he is on the verge of being knocked out, is gathering al) his remaining
forces for one last desperate ict There is abject fear in the heart

of the madman and a growing discontent among his sce as he ecules
for his last all-out offensive.

We may be sure that Hitler and Japan will cooperate to do the ume}
expected -- perhaps an attack by Japan against Alaska and our Northwest
coast at a time when German transport planes will be shuttled across
from Dakar to furnish Leadership and stiffening to a German uprising
inten America. In any event, the psychological and sabotage offensive
in the Unitcd States and Latin America will be timed to coincide with,
"or anticipate by a few weeks, the height of the military offensive.

We must be especially prepared to stifle the fifth columists in
the United States who will try to sabotage not mercly our war matcrial
plants, but cven more important, our minds. We must be prepared for
the worst kita of fifth column work in Latin America, much ae 4k oper=
‘ating through the agency of governments with which the United States at
present is at peace. When I say this, I recognize that the peoples,
both of Latin America and of the nations supporting the agencies through
which the fifth columists work, are overwhelmingly on the side of the
democracies. We must expect the offensive against us on the military,
‘obs and sabotage fronts, both in the United States and in Latin
America, to reach its apex some time during the next few months. The
convulsive efforts of the dying madman wilt be go great that some of

us may be deceived intc thinking that the situation is bad at a time
when it is really getting better, But in the case of most of us, the
events of the next few months, disturbing though they may be, will only
increase our will to bring about complete victory in this war of lib-
coho, Prepared in spirit, we can not be surprised. Psychological
terrorism will fall flat, As we nerve ourselves for the supreme effort
in this head upline we must not forget the sublime heroism of the ope
pressed in Europe and Asia, whether it be in the mountains of Yugoslavia,
the factories of Czechoslovakia and France, the farms of Poland, Dene
mark, Holland and tel vitae, among the seamen of Norway, or in the occupied
arcas of China and the Dutch East Indies. Everywhere the soul of man
is letting the tyrant know that slavery of the body does not end ie
sistance,
There can be no half measures. North, South, Hast, West and
Middleweste=the will of the American poople is for complete victory.
No compromise with Satan is possible, We shall not rest until
all the victims under the Nazi yoke arc freed. We shall fight for a
complete peace as well as a complete victory.
The people's revolution i on the march, and the devil and all
his angels can not prevail against it. They can not prevail, for on
the side of the people is the Lord.
"Ho giveth power to the faint; to thom
that have no might He inereaseth strongth ...
. They that wait upon the Lord shall mount up
with wings as caglos; thcy shall run, and
not be weary; thoy shall walk and not be faint,"
Strong in the strength of the Lord, we who fight in the people's cause

will never stop until that cause is won,

Dear Phog,

I am interested in arranging a basket-

played in Wichita. I would suggest that
you select dates when it might be possible
for you to play and I will try to make
one fit with the forum schedule.

I feel that this game should draw
better in Wichita this year than previous »
years because of the added population
due to defense work, All sports! con-
tests and amusements are flourishing here
at the present time, andnod doubt if we
can have a little better team than in

Dr. Forest Allen,
University of Kansas,
Lawrence, Kansas.

Dear Dr. Allen:

I imagine you will think it is strange for a Missourian to
write you asking for a favor, but I am doing just that.

Of course, it might be my own selfishness but I am very
interested in seeing you and Missouri play the Naval Cadets
and the Great Lakes in a double header here in the Auditorium.
I believe it would be a great drawing card (thet is, if
Missouri is better than they were last year) and would give
Kansas City some great entertainment.

Being on the Board at the Auditorium, I have talked to
Dorman O'Leary, who is also on the Board, and he feels
very enthusiastic about the possibilities.

I realize, Doctor, due to the fact that you had a great

team last year, you will, no doubt, have a greater team

this year and would be a better drawing card than Missouri

but we Missourians here feel that we have been pretty loyal

to you in the tournaments inwhich you have participated

and feel it would be a great thing for both schools to
participate under the same program.

As I understand it, it is entirely in your hands and I certainly
hope you will be kind enough to allow us to participate with
you. I remain

Very sincerely
