GREAT PLEDGE TO OUR COUNTRY AND OUR FLAG, IT MUST BE OUR DEEP CON YEAR WITH
VICTION THAT WE PLEDGE AS WELL OUR WORK, OUR WILL AND, IF IT BE NECESSARY, GUR LIVES," DECLARED PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT IN HIS INDEPEN- DENCE DAY BROADCAST TO THE NATION.
"It is indeed a fallacy, based on no logic, for any Americans to suggest that the rule of force can defeat human freedom in all other parts of the world and allow it to survive in the United States alone, but it has been that childlike fantasy that has mis- directed the faith which has led nation after nation to go about its peaceful tasks re- lying on the thought and even the promise, that it and its life and its government would be allowed to live when the juggernaut of force came that way.
