"The issue of our time " he said, "the issue of the wur in which we are engaged. is the issue for- ced upon the decent, self-respect- ing peoples of the earth by the aggressive dogmas of this attempt- ed revival of barbarlsm; this pro- retum to tyranny; this effort to impose again upon the peoples of the world doctrines of itlisrYllte OUCGIPIIVO, and of (lic- tatorial rule, and of the supprcs. slon of truth, and of the oppres- sion of conscience. which the free nations of the earth hrtire long ago rejected.

“What we face is nothing more or less than an attempt to over- throw and to cancel out the g;eat upsurge of human liberty of which the American Bill of Rights is the fundamental document: to force the peoples of the-earth. and among them the peopes of this continent, to accept again tho ab- solute authcritv and (irsootir rule from ivhich the courace and the resolution and the sacrifices their ancestors liberated them many, inanv years ago"

This attempt could succeed, the President declared firmly, only if those who inherited the gift of liberty "had inst the manhood to preserve it."

The determination of this ggn. eratlon to preserve liberty. he de- clared_ is as fixed and certain as that of an earlier generation of Americans to win it.

“Vi/e covenant. with each other before all the zvorld," Mr. Roose- velt. declared. "that having taken up arms in the defence of liberty, we will not lay them down before liberty is once again secure ln the world we live in For scctirityi we pray; for that secur- iil’ We “Qt-HOW rind forever more."

The Minister said the govern- ment hopes women will compose at. least half of the 150,000 odd new workers which war industry is go- ing to require within the next year.

The wovernment is agreed on the principle of selective national ser- vice for Canadians in Canada and this means women as well as men, Mr. Thorson said.

It. means eventually every man and woman will be employed in their most useful place, either in the forces. the factory. the field, the home, or in the auxiliary ser- vices.

Government estimates me that Canada has 216,000 married women with no children and 218,000 irar- ried women with onlv one child, a moi of manpower war industry hasn't tapped.

Mr. Thorson said present plans are to enlist 2,400 women within the next six mouths in the Canadian women's auxiliary air force and a similar number in the Canadian women's army corps.

Reports are current in Ottawa that the great motor manufactur- ers in the United Satcs are also considering a virtual stoppage in pleasure car manufacture so their plants may go into aircraft and orer forms of war pr-iliiction.

Prime‘ Minister Mackenzie King and his cabinet colleague-s. (lei-aged with recommendations from private sources and in newspaper editorials, offering advice on steps that should be taken for an all out war effort, are preparing new programs invol- Ving greater sacrifices by the gener- al public.

Once the attack began, how- ever the defence was conducted "skillfully and bravely," he said. Proudly he cited many instances of heroism including that of a dying captain of a battleship whose stomach was laid open by shrap- nel flze but who refused to be carried to safety and continued to direct his men from a bridge which had become a blazing in- ferno.
