And if we are elected, every American, regardless of his race or his creed or his color will be given his full constitutional rights.

We have proposed the establishment of a Federal Bureau of Intergroup Relations, to help solve such problems of discrimination, and I believe that this will be a real step forward in developing better understanding between the Chinese-American community and their neighbors, and help move toward the ideal of a country in which every citizen receives the same opportunities as every other citizen, regardless of his race or his origin.

I believe in the equality of opportunity for every citizen of the United States

And the mere fact that a person may be minus a limb or one of his senses, or anything else, has nothing to do with it, any more than do the other differences among humans that we conclude should not be allowed to sway us in the government that is applied to all.

I could think of no greater service that this Committee over the years has contributed to the United States than to bring to each--not only the handicapped people themselves, but to all of us--the fact that opportunity does truly belong to all.

We hold that all men are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.

We believe that all men have the same rights, and that these rights must be respected.

I have of course tried to be fair to every segment of this population of ours.

Now we are going to be faced with exactly the same situation this time, and with your help, and with the help of the people who believe in right for everybody, we are going to do exactly again what we did in 1948, and we are going to make them like it.

We must keep it just what it is--a government of all the people, and for all the people.

They said that all men were created equal.

We believe in the dignity and the rights of each individual.

It will bring appreciably nearer the goal all freedom-loving peoples seek-a peace where all nations live in equality and mutual respect.

It is our responsibility to see that these young men receive the same sort of treatment as they would have received had they stayed at home.

We are fighting in that cause at the side of valiant forces, representing every race and every creed.

It is, therefore, more true to call this total effort of the American people an 'equality of privilege.'

We share equally and with equal zeal the anguish and the awful sacrifices of war.

I enclose a copy of the Children's Charter, which states succinctly the rights of children, regardless of race or color or situation, wherever they may live under the protection of the American flag.
