SACRIFICE OF IDEAS
MR ROOSEVELT’S WARNING DANGERS OF COMPROMISE AMERICA AND DICTATORSHIP (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received July 6, 3.15 p.m.) HYDE PARK, July 5 President Roosevelt said a sizeable segment of Americans was so impressed with the temporary efficiency of corporate States that :hey were willing to compromise with a dictatorship. He added that the segment had no large relation to the population, but numbered a good many people. Any compromise would entail a sacrifice of ideas essential to democratic government. Mr Roosevelt listed the objectives which must be realised for permanent peace to be assured:— (1) Freedom from the fear of entailing disarmament; (2) freedom of information; (3) freedom of religion; (4) freedom of expression; (5) freedom from want by the removal of cultural and commercial barriers between nations. This raised the question, “Whether we were going to seek the five freedoms, give them up, or encourage by lack of opposition those nations which removed them.”
