I do hereby designate Saturday, October 12, 1946, as Columbus Day.

That's what I have been fighting for since I have been here.

Thank you Mr. Benton.

I direct, also, that on that day the flag of the United States be displayed on all Government buildings.

You can make that contribution on a world basis.

I do hereby proclaim October 11, 1946, the one hundred and sixty-seventh anniversary of the death of that gallant warrior, as General Pulaski's Memorial Day

If there is no understanding, there can be no peace; and if there is no education, there can be no peace.

There are two things in the world I want above everything else--peace in the world and unity at home.

I call upon officials of the Government to have the flag of the United States displayed on all Government buildings on that day

I am extremely interested in this organization.

It is understanding that gives us an ability to have peace.

That's what President Roosevelt was fighting for while he was here.

I AM of course interested in the political welfare of every one of you.

That's the program of the Democratic party--peace in the world, and a production program that will help rehabilitate that world.

It is absolutely essential, in order that the program of the Democratic Party as outlined in the platform adopted in 1944 which I helped to write--and I was a member of that original committee--may be carried out, that we have a Congress…

That's all I need to say to you.

I hereby revoke the said Executive Order No. 7744 of November 19, 1937.

As I have frequently said, I have complete confidence in Mr. Byrnes and his delegation now representing this country at the Paris Peace Conference.
