* Charter for a Free World * I
The Atlantic Charter
The President of the United States and the Prime Minister, Mr.
Churchill, representing His Majesty's Government in the United Kingduui,
have met at see.
The President and the Prime Minister have had several conferences.
They have considered the dangers to world civilisation arising from the
policies of military domination by conquest upon which the Hitlerite
fovernment of Germany and other governments associated therewith
ave embarked, and have made clear the steps which their countries are
respectively taking for their safety in the face of these dangers.
They have agreed on the following Declarationi
The President of the United States of America and the Prime Minister,
Mr. Churchill, representing His Majesty's Government in the
United Kingdom, being met together, deem it right to make known
certain common principles in the national policies of their respective
countries on which they base their hopes for a better future for the
world.
FIRST, Their countries seek no aggrandizement, territorial ^ .
or other;
SECOND, They desire to see no territorial changes that do
not accord with the freely expressed wishes of the peoples
concerned;
THIRD, They respect the right of all peoples to choose the
form of government under which they will live; and they wish
to see sovereign rights and self-government restored to those
who have been forcibly deprived of them; /
FOURTH, They will endeavor, with due respect for their
I existing obligations, to further the enjoyment by all States,
I great or small, victor or vanquished, of access, on equal terms,
to the trade and to the raw materials of the world which are '
) needed for their economic prosperity; /
FIFTH, They desire to bring about the fullest collaboration '
I between all nations in the economic field with the object of
I securing, for all, improved labor standards, economic advancement
and social security; |
SIXTH, After the final destruction of the Nazi tyranny, t
they hope to see established a peace which will afford to all I
nations the means of dwelling in safety within their own boun- !
daries, and which will afford assurance that all the men in all 1
the lands may live out their lives in freedom from fear and I
want; f
SEVENTH, Such a peace should enable all men to traversa
the high seas and oceans without hindrance; 1
! EIGHTH, They believe all of the nations of the world, for A
realistic as well as spiritual reasons, must come to the abandon- I
I ment of the use of force. Since no future peace can be main'
tained If land, sea or air armaments continue to be employed 1
by nations which threaten, or may threaten, aggression outside ' ?
of their frontiers, they believe, pending the establishment of a J '
{ wider and permanent system of general security, that the dis- I
armament of guch nations is essential. They will likewise aid ']
" and encourage all other practicable measures which will lighten '
\ / for peace-loving peoples the crushing burden of armaments.

Saboteurs and Justice
Washington. Aug. 8.?America may
well point wifli pride to the handling
of the case against the eight Nazi saboteurs.
The work of the Coast
(iuard and the FBI in apprehending
them, the care with which they were
given a fair trial, and the firm, quick
action of the supreme court in its
ruling all testify to the vitality of
American Democracy. The people of
I America demanded Justice, but they
I did so without hysteria and. with a
jdeep trust in their democratic insti;
tutious- As a final step the case now
is before the President for review. If
| the record shows the men to be guilty
they should be, and probably will be,
shot.
Women at War
This war is not solely a man's war
by any means. Women are playing
'a tremendously important part in
(America's victory efforts. And their
services are not confined to the limited
fields of duty open to women in
the first world war.
Most courageous of our women at
war are the nurses who at Bataan
and Corregidor and other terrible
fronts have written inspiring chapters
I in the history of American heroism.
I Hut there are other thousands who are
serving unsung in more prosaic calling.
There are. for instance, about 40.000
women now employed In productive
capacities in the nation's aircraft
, manufacturing industry as compared
with less than 2,000 about nine
(months ago. Women have proved
that they can handle almost any job
in an alrcratt factory. In this and in
many other fields a vast civilian army
of women at home is backing up the
efforts of men on the battlefronts of
I the world, rendering vital material
assistance to those who fight.
For those who would serve in uniform.
the nation has provided the
Woman's Army Auxiliary Corps and
the Women's Naval Reserve. Members
of these two branches will relieve
for combat duty men who now
are engaged in non-combatant duties.
??????
Thousands of women have given up
peace-lime luxuries and leisures and
stepped forward to do a mansized Job
for the duration. Many of them will
gain skills which will stand them in
good stead in the peace which must
follow this greatest of all conflicts.
Gasoline
Dr. John W. Frey, of the Office of
Petroleum Coordinator for War,
writes me that "this office has lnvestigated
rumors to the effect that gasoline
was being shipped from South
Carolina into Tennessee but has been
unable to find evidence to support
[such rumors. A conviction for such
I a violation could result In a $10,000
fine for each offense and two years
imprisonment. If anyone has evidence
concerning violation of this
limitation order, I request that he
furnish it to this ofTice in order that
we may collect such further evidence
as may be necessary in presenting the
case to the Department of Justice for
prosecution."
He goes on to say that "gasoline"
stocks in South Carolina must be considered
as a part of the whole Fast
Coast supply" and that "anyone today
who states that the gasoline stocks of
the East Coast are excessive is either
a victim of alien propaganda or he
does not know such facts as are necessary
to an understanding problem.
The stocks of certain products are
dangerously below the, level they
should be at this time of the year."
Freedom
The inquisitive Ben Franklin, testing
the lightning with his kite, found
in the noisy violence of the storm a
secret which illuminated the world.
His example suggests that good news
is sometimes hidden in bad weather.
Today, in the storm which rages
across the whole earth, men are sending
up their kites to the new lightning
to try its possibilities and to
prepare for clearing skies. The Four
Freedoms guide us all. Freedom of
speech and religion, freedom from
want and from fear?these belong to
all the earth and to all men everywhere.
Our own country, with its
ideas of equality, is an experiment
which has been conducted against
great odds and with much patience
and. best of all. with some success
for most people. It has prospered and
brought fresh hope to millions and
new good to humanity. Even in the
thick of war, the experiment with
x)ld values and new forms must go
ahead. Life is change. The earth
shrinks in upon itself and we adjust
to a world in motion, holding fast to
the truths as we know them, confident
that as long as the love of freedom
is in the hearts of men it will show
also in their deeds.

Detroit Traitor
Sentenced to Hang
Detroit. Auk. 6.?Max Stephan.
first person in IIS years to be convicted
of treason in the United States,
was sentenced in federal court today
to be hanged.
U. S. District Judge Arthur J. Tuttle
directed that Stephan. Germanborn
American citizen, bo hanged on
November 13, 1942. within the walls
of the federal detention prison at
Milan. Mich.
Stephan was convicted in federal
court here of aiding the flight of a
Nazi flier escaped from a Canadian
concentration camp,
"The life of this trator. Max Stephan,
is less valuable than the lives
of our loyal sons which are being
given in the cause of the United
States, said Judge Tuttle in pronouncing
sentence.
"We have been too soft, to the extent
of being mushy. There are too
many in the sob squad and too few
in the fighting squad. This is no ordinary
war. We talk of soldiers and
we think of death not in figures of
thousands but in figures of millions.
If the lives of many of our boys are
to be taken to help such a cause, this
court should not hesitate to take the
life of one traitor if it. in turn, will
help that same just cause."

New ^ ork and San Francisco, use

"Old Lady" Says I
He's A Fighter j
Columbia, August 8.?The following
was received by one of Richland ]
county's draft boards by a woman of- 51
fering to make a great pseudo-sacrl- i
flee:
"Dear Sirs: During the national
emergency our country is in great
need of men?fighting men, and I
have one I'll gladly donate for that "j
purpose. He is my husband.
"He is a good fighter. He proved
that ability in the year and a half <
that we were married. As for physical
fitness, he is In A-l condition.
As for mental fitness, I would not
be a Judge. He was twenty last March
30.
"He has no dependents. In fact I
would have been dead long ago, had
I depended on him for food and clpth? j
ing.
"Since numerous men and boys are
being separated from their families
so that they may serve their country,
why not take Just one now and teach
him all about army discipline and how
to live with others in this world,
because he is certainly not doing any- ,
one any good now , .
