President Reports To The People
Details War Policies For Americans
Washington, —(UP)— Highlights of President Roosevelt's address last night.
The news—"so far, the news has all been bad. We have suffered a serious set-back in Hawaii. Our forces in the Philippines, which include the brave people of that commonwealth, are taking punishment, but are defending themselves
vigorously. The reports from Guam and Wake and Midway Islands are still confused, but we must be prepared for the announcement that all these three outposts have been seized."
Casualties— "The casualty lists of these first few days will undoubtedly be large . . . many American soldiers and sailors have been killed by enemy action. American ships have been sunk, American airplanes have been destroyed."
Rumors—"Most earnestly I urge my countrymen to reject all rumors. These ugly little hints of complete disaster fly thick and fast in war-time . . . many rumors and reports which we now hear originate with enemy sources."
Facts—"This government will . . give the facts to the public just as soon as two conditions have been fulfilled: First, that the information has been definitely and officially confirmed; second, that the release of the information . . . will not prove valuable to the enemy."
The press and radio—" You have a most grave responsibility to the nation now and for the duration of the war . . . in the absence of all the facts, as revealed by official sources--you have no right in the ethics of patriotism to deal out unconfirmed reports in such a way as to make people believe they are gospel truth. Every citizen . . . shares this same responsibility."
The road ahead—"We must be set to face a long war against crafty and powerful bandits . . . it will be a hard war . . . on the road ahead there lies hard work—gruelling work—day and night, every hour and every minute . . . every single man, woman and child is a partner in the most tremendous undertaking of our American history."
Warning—"The attack on Pearl Harbor can be repeated at any one of many points, points in both oceans and along both our coast lines and against all the rest of the hemisphere."
at times met obstacles and difficulties, divisions and disputes, indifference and callousness. That is all now past—and, I am sure, forgotten."
Bury the past—'Over the hard road of the past months, we have
The future—“... The United States can accept no result save victory, final and complete. Not only must the shame of Japanese treachery be wiped out, but the sources of international brutality, wherever they exist, must be absolutely and finally broken.”
County Clubs Plan
The County Clubs have been organized to spread good will for the University among the people of Kansas and to let students and parents know of the opportunities offered in various fields at the University.
K. U. students met in a special convocation with County Club chairmen and faculty members at 10 o'clock this morning when the Student State-wide Activities Commission held its annual all-County Club meetings.
Chairmen of each of the 105 counties in the state met with their county groups in assigned rooms in buildings on the campus.
The new K. U. crimson and blue calendar for '42 was discussed and displayed at the meetings, as it is to be used and distributed by the County Clubs as an advertising median for the University.
Other ways in which County Clubs acquaint people in the state with the University are through the
