"In the future days which we seek to make secure, we look forward
to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.
"The first is freedom of speech and expression - everywhere in the
world.
"The second is freedom of every person to worship
God in his own way - everywhere in the world.
"The third
is freedom from want, which translated into world terms, means economic
understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime
life for its inhabitants - everywhere in the world.
"The
fourth is freedom from fear, which translated into world terms, means a
world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough
fashion that no nation will be able to commit an act of physical
aggression against any neighbor - anywhere in the world.
"That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a
kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of
world is the very antithesis of the so-called "new order" of tyranny
which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.
"To that "new order" we oppose the greater conception - the Moral
Order...
..."The world order which we seek is the
cooperation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized
society...
..."Freedom means the supremacy of human rights,
everywhere...
..."To that high concept there can be no end
save victory."
- From President Roosevelt's message to the 77th Congress on the State
of the Union.

Our policy shall be this:
1. We, the U.S.A., in cooperation with our allies, for reasons of
our national safety and in the interests of international morality, are
determined to crush and completely destroy the military power of the
Axis aggressors, and their satellites regardless of cost, effort and
time necessary to complete this task.
2. The old world order of
colonial oppression, exploitation of dominations, rival imperialisms and
mercenary balance of power diplomacy ; of majesties, dictators,
privileged minorities, plutocratic monopolists and similar social
parasites ; the corrupted order responsible for the present world
cataclysm, endangering our national safety and peaceful progress, shall
never rise again.
3. A New World Moral Order for permanent peace
and freedom shall be established at the successful conclusion of the
present war.

favorable geography and the welfare of mankind, the U.S.A. must,
altruistically, assume the leadership of the newly established
democratic world order. 5. To reduce the burden and criminal waste of
armaments expenditures everywhere in the world, the U.S.A., with the
cooperation of Latin-America, the British Commonwealth of Nations, and
the U.S.S.R. shall undertake to guarantee peace to the nations which
will be permanently disarmed and demilitarized after the conclusion of
the present war.
6. In order to be able, in fulfillment of our
obligations, to effectively prevent the possibility of a recurrence of
another world cataclysm, the invincibility of the U.S.A. as a military,
naval and air, shall be the major prerequisite.
7. For realistic

hemispheric solidarity and the "Good Neighbor" policy, the U.S.A., with
the consent of the Latin-American Republics, shall obtain control and

facilitate their entrance as equal states of the U.S.A. as outlined on
map.

maintenance of world peace and freedom of the seas as outlined on map.

well organized, democratic and absolutely demilitarized federated
republics as approximately outlined on map.

potential military establishments ; to recover the accumulated loot and
to re-educate them for their eventual membership in the Family of
Nations, the areas of Germany-Austria, Italy and Japan shall be
hermetically and indefinitely quarantined and administered by appointed
Governors subject to supervision by the World League of Nationalism.
37. All resources, industrial and labor capacity of the quarantined
areas shall be employed for the post-war restoration and reconstruction
needs.

the present war, shall be reorganized and transformed into a permanent
"Supreme Military and Economic Council" collaborating with the World
League of Nationalities in post-war reconstruction and to enforce world
peace.
41. The "Supreme Military and Economic Council" shall
appoint the Governors to administer the quarantined areas until their
eventual parole.
For this purposeful
beginning we must fight until absolute victory.
