WAR OF SURVIVAL
NAME OF CONFLICT PAN-AMERICAN IDEALS TASKS WHEN PEACE COMES (Reed. 5.5 p.m.) WASHINGTON, April 14 Addressing the governing board of the Pan-American Union at the White House to-day, President Roosevelt SJaid: "When cleaning up the mess at the end of the war we shall have a very great voice in preventing future attacks on our American civilisation, and a council for the Western Hemisphere would help to that end. "However it may take two or three years before we can make sure our civilisation is going to survive. In the long run we are going to come out the winner."
"The War of Survival," is Mr. Roosevelt's tentative choice of a name for the present world conflict. The Vice-President, Mr. Henry W. Wallace, marking the 52nd anniversary of the Pan-American Union, to-day said: "Pan-Americanism is an ideal which transcends this hemisphere and serves as a pattern for an international society where people can live and work in freedom, friendship and peace, but unless this ideal is upheld with strong unity within the Americas in time of danger, we will not have the necessary moral and material capacity to assume leadership for a just and charitable peace after dangers are past."
