i throughout the - nation with th
world's tracic condition in the
niinds of .all. President Roosevelt,
speaking to ah audience at Arling
ton national, cemetery and - over
radio, told his hearers that th
.people of America believed liberty
was Worth fighting for, , and, if
need' -be,' "would fight eternally to
hold it." .
Recall Wcrld War I
Mr. Roosevelt spoke of those
who gave up their lives in 1917 and
1918 and the reasons why they had
to' die. . : V
"We know," he declared solemn
ly, "that these men died to save
their country from a terrible, dan
ger of that day; We know, because
we face that danger once again on
this dav."
. Thev died to make the world
. safe, the- president said, adding:
."And if, by some fault of ours
who lived bevond the war, its safe
ty fi'a's again' been threatened then
Ih'e- v'ddigatKHf and-' the duty, .are
wnrs It is in our charge now, as it
was, America's - charge , after the
. Civ'l' war, to see to it 'that these
dead shall not have' died in vail'.
At Tomb Of Unknown Soldier
Refoie the tornh of the unknown
soldier; in honoring whom 'America
honors all her World war dead, the
chief executive stood bare-headed
oil a windy hillside overlooking the
'capital while his naval aide, Cap
tain Joht-j R. Bcardall, placed a
Vvre'afii of white chrysanthemums
aiul green" ferns against ' the sar
cophagus. An army bugler sounded
- "tap's" and 'the .ndtes ' echoed across
the wooded ridge. ' .
The chief executive moved, then,
into the amphitheatre, where hun
dreds of people were gathered and
American flags hun.g from every
opening of the colonnade.
He recalled that Sergeant Alvin
York, renowned hero of the last
war, also' had spoke,n near the
tomb of the unknown soldier re
cently and had said that some
people ask World war veterans :
; '"What did it get you?"
Those persons forgot, Mr. Roose
velt said, that a real danger con
fronted this country in 1917 and
that the sacrifices of those who
... died averted it.
If our armies had lost then, the
reasons .( for the battling would
have faced Americans everywhere.
the president said.
"We would have known why
liberty is worth defending as those
alone whose liberty is lost can
know it. We would have know
why tyranny is worth defeating as
only those whom tyrants rule can
know. ...
"Whatever we knew or thought
we knew a few vears or months
.ago, we know trow that the danger
of brutality and tyranny and slav
ery to freedom-loving peoples care
be real and terrible.
"We know why these mere fought
to keep our freedom and why th
wars that. saVe a. people's liberties
are wars worth fighting and worth
winning at any cost."
1 he men ot hrance, prisoners,
hostages, robbed of harvests, mur
dered in prisons, know inowr Mr
Roosevelt remarked, what a former
victory of freedom against tyranny
was worth. So also; he said, do the
Czechs, Poles,- Danes, ; Serbs, Bel
gians, Norwegians, Greeks.

dedicating the vast new naval air
base, -at Quauset, R. I. ' declared
that the United States must, as
sjime world leadership iin making
a future peace founded, on justice
T.ather thar revenge. To preserve
this peace, he said, an entire com
munity of nations must be ready
to move against any aggressor,
..- He warned "the hour of decision
is . here" asserting that the United
States could no longer ignore Jap
an.ese action which violated Amer
ican rights, terming . the situation
as-one filled with "grim possibili
tieis on the far side of the Pa
cific" and the present as "a,n hour
of extreme danger." .
'Tree interchange of goods, and
free access to raw materials must
be the cornerstone of any ' new
world to come," he added. "The
great powers and that includes the
United States and the ' British- em
pire which dominate the material
f resources of the earth, must see to
it that the rest of the .nations get
a fair share of them. ....

a "sudden and widespread attempt"
by the axis powers to sabotage U.

tation .industries. ", ; ,; , ;

morale,- upset families of, soldiers
and "mislead" 'members of con

Britain Needs Food,
Extension Folks Told
''Every boat load of food that
the United States ' sends to Great
Britain reduces the time that will
elapse before the democracies of
the world triumph over "Hitler-
ism," Paul H. Appleby, under
secretary of agriculture in Wash
ington, told the 400 extension .serv
ice workers in convention at State
college in Raleigh this week.
Appleby was one of the prin
cipal speakers at the conference
of all coumty farm and home
agents, assistant agents, and exten
sion specialists and adminsitrative
leaders. He gave a report on his-
recent trip to England as a repre
sentative of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, upon "the invitation
of the British government. .
"The United States has been
called upon to feed 25 per cent of
the British people or about 10
million persons: this winter and
throughout 1942," Appleby declared.
Food is extremely short in Eng
land, but our ships are reaching
the other . side of the ocean and
conditions are constantly improv
ing," he continued.
Appleby told the extension work
ers that they have' a big job to
do in seeing that . the nation-wide
''Food for Freedom" campaign is
successful. "North Carolina needs I
to increase its egg production by
11-. per cent, and its milk produc
tion by 4 per cent, in 1942," he
said, "and you county and farm
and home agents, and extension
specialists' must lead the program
aind help farm people to achieve
their increased production goals.'
