~ PRESIDENT SAYS

We'll Force Fight in 1943, He Declares; Calls for

Freedom From" Want. (Continued from Page One) thing. In the Pacific, our objective has been to wear down the Japanese by destroying more war material than their hardpressed industry could replace

and, Mr, Roosevelt said, a large part|er

of that task had been accomplished. Constant Bombing Due

“That will become evident,” he continued, “to the Japanese people themselves when we strike at their

own home islands and bomb them constantly from the air. The period of our defensive attrition in the Pacific is passing. Now our aim is to force the Japanese to fight. Last year we stopped them. This year we intend to advance. The president said the invasion of North Africa and the British drive from Egypt into Libya had accomplished that but that “great rains and appalling mud and very limited communications have delayed the final battles of Tunisia.” Although the axis is reinforcing its strong positions there, Mr. Roosevelt had no doubts. “I am confident,” he said, “that though the fighting will be tough, when the final allied assault is made the last vestige of axis power will be driven from the south shores of the Mediterranean.” Mr. Roosevelt promised the axis a direct land attack on Europe—and he said the axis could try to guess where, “But I can tell you,” he said, . “that no matter where and when we strike by land, we and the British and the Russians will hit them from the. air and hit them relentlessly. Day in and day out we .shall heap tons upon tons of explosives on their war factories and utilities and seaports. ning to the American productive effort in 1242, the president said the results justified the confidence in the ability of the American people to establish new records. Explaining the goals he originally set for 1942 were altered—some upward, others downward—he cited these 1942 figures: “About 48,000 military planes during the year—more than the airplane production of Germany, Italy and Japan put togeth 56,000 Combat vehicles, including tanks and self-propelled artillery.

670,000 Machine guns and 21,000 ? | anti-tank guns. 10,250,000,000 Rounds of small ammunition and 181,000,000 rounds of artillery ammunition. “The arsenal of democracy is making good,” the president said. He cited the production record as disproving certain misconcep‘tions—*‘especially the one that holds that the various blocs or groups within a free country cannot forego their political and economic differences in time of crisis and work together toward a common goal.” Emphasizing the need for a prop“sense of proportion” in viewing the war and its needs, Mr. Roosevelt said “we should never forget the things we are fighting for.” “But,” he added, “at this critical period of the war, we should confine ourselves to the larger objectives and not get bogged down in argu-| ment over methods and details.

Were Not Under Peace

From the days of the first world war to the beginning of the present war, he said,. “we were not living under a decent or a durable peace.” Things must be different this time, he said. The men of the armed forces “want a lasting peace, and, equally, they want permanent employment for themselves, their families and their neighbors when they are mustered out at the end of the war,” he added. “They expect the opportunity: to work, to run their farms, ‘their stores; to earn decent wages,” he said. “They are eager to face the risks inherent in our system of free enterprise.” Mr. Roosevelt said: he hoped the problem of granting “the right of employment and the right of assurance against life’s hazards” would not be regarded “as an issue but yather as a task” for all to approach “sympathetically” an d achieve “with fairness to all and with injustice to none.”

Wants Economic Assurance

The president said that “this great government can and must provide” assurance desired by our young men and women “against the evils of all major economic hazards —assurance that will extend from|. the cradle to the grave.” Without going into any details, the president said “this great government can and must provide this assurance” in addition to making certain that the people of the country are given a stable opportunity for employment and not bogus prosperity or a dole. Mr. Roosevelt did not, however, present the detailed and expanded sofial security program which some observers ‘had expected. Congres-

forego presentation at this time of the cradle-to-grave insurance protection program covering health and ald age which-he-was understood to} thave prepared. "They feared such a proposal would precipitate: a knock-down congressional fight which would be undesirable in the midst of the war effort. '

Won't Predict War's End

Mr. Roosevelt, while the tone of his speech was definitely optimistic as far as war progress in 1943 was concerned, declined to prophesy when the war would end but he did express.the belief that the year would “give to the united nations

roads that lead to Berlin and Rome and Tokyo.” “I can tell you it is within the realm of possibility that this 78th congress may have 'the historic | privilege of helping greatly to save the world from future fear,” he said. “A tremendous, costly, long-endur-ing task in peace as well as war is still ahead of us.” “No force, no combination of forces, no trickery, deceit or violence,” the president said, could stop. the. people in their forward movement toward “a decent, secure, peaceful life. for all men everywhere.” Explaining the “dislocations , , . inconveniences and . .. hardships” in this country necessitated by the war, the president said that putting the nation on a war footing could not have been done without “burdensome - government regulations Which are a nuisance to everyone.”

> Admits Some Mistakes

Admitting that there had been Mr. Roosevelt reaffirmed his determination “to see to it that our supplies of food and other essential civilian goods are distributed on a fair and just basis.” “Qur experience,” he said, “will enable us during the coming year to improve the necessary mechanisms of wartime economic controls and to simplify administrative procedures.” But we do not intend to leave things so lax that loopholes will be left for cheaters,” for chiselers, or for the manipulators of the black market.” Declaring his - thankfulness that “there are only a few Americans who place appetite above patriotism,” Mr. Roosevelt said there would
