POST-WAR WORLD

THE ALLIES’ OBJECTIVE NO CRUELTY OR GREED (Rec. 7 p.m.) LONDON, Nov. 8. In a broadcast to-night, which was heard in the United Stales as well as in Britain, Mrs Roosevelt summed up the objective for which Britain and the United States are lighting as " a world which shall be free from cruelty, greed, and oppression, a world where men should be free to worship God as they see fit and seek the devekvpment of their own personalities and their own happiness within limits which safeguard the rights of other human beings to do the same.” She added that in her belief hope for tire future lay in the acceptance by women and young people of them responsibility. Now and in the future the youth of all the United Nations would have to awaken and accept full responsibility. It was no easy burden to assume, but if we won the battle over ourselves, then the vision of a world ruled by justice and love might become a reality. We failed in the past because we could not think on international lines.

Mrs Roosevelt praised British women for the magnificent way in which they had assumed their war-time responsibilities. She had not met one woman who was not doing a real job, requiring, in many cases, fin eight-hour working day. “ The women of Britain are a very vital factor in the man-power of the nation, and they know it,” said Mrs Roosevelt.
