MS at lectern w/ microphones, SOF: “It is obvious that we cannot & must not risk another great war. It’s equally obvious that aside from adequate military forces & bases for our defense in the future our only hope of avoiding war lies in effective international cooperation for peace. Its perfectly obvious to the rest of the world, & it ought to be to us, that America has staggeringly outproduced every other nation on earth. Our 130 million people have produced many of the winning instruments of war for Great Britain, Russia, China as well as for ourselves. Its obvious to the rest of the world, & it ought to be to us, that this is because of the enormous initiative & inventive genius which springs from the very heart of our system. Ours is a system that rewards achievement in which men can create & build w/ the full knowledge that they & their family will benefit as well as Society as a whole. Ours has been a system whereby labor is free to work, to organize & to share in the unlimited productive capacity in the good things of life which are produced by everybody. The very heart of that system is the classic liberal concept that every man is his own master & that government exists to keep men free.” (applause) 01:23:55 Intertitle: St. Nazaire Civilians Evacuated.
