"On Active Duty InWashington"

EVERY individual can helpwin this war by contributing tonational unity . One of the suresttests of sanity is the ability ofthe people to work together, tocoordinate efforts . That is team-work .The test of our Democracy is

not so much whether we canhold together while everythinggoes well, but the test is whetherwe can and will hold together ifthe tide runs against us .

OUR Constitution makes thePresident of the United Statesthe Commander-in-Chief of theArmy and Navy and places uponhim the responsibility of direct-ing the war efforts of the nation .

Therefore, we must build ourunity around President Roose-velt .

I

HAVE followed him. Some-times I have followed him whenI was criticized for so doing . I

would not change any of that,because I believe he is the great-est leader in the world today.He has been right 100 percentevery step of the way in this wareffort .

Therefore his wisdom shouldguide us in making our majordecisions on these importantquestions .
