I am sure that Mrs. Bethune's retirement as president of this organization will not mean her retirement from public life.

We are awakened as never before to the true meaning of equality-equality in the economic world.

In that great cause there is no retreat and no retirement.

No other great nation in the history of the world has done such a thing as that.

All of us who are here tonight have a deep interest in that great enterprise--the extension of freedom and opportunity to all our citizens without racial or religious discrimination.

I am glad to be here with you tonight and to join with you in this observance of the fourth anniversary of the United Nations.

The Declaration of Human Rights... can apply to all the peoples of the earth.

Thank you, Congressman Dawson.

The people of this country have made, and we are making, progress in this cause.

We are too apt to forget how long it took, and how difficult it was, to get the States to unite in the United States as we know it now.

The task of achieving greater justice and freedom will be long and it will be difficult.

We can succeed in achieving brotherhood only if we acknowledge that the ideal of brotherhood is something outside or above us.

The brotherhood of man is belief in God.

It is only the people of religious faith throughout the world who have the power to overcome the force of tyranny.

I have called for legislation to protect the rights of all its citizens, to assure their equal participation in national life, and to reduce discrimination based upon prejudice.

When the Democrats win an election they have authority--call it a mandate, if you want to--from the people to carry out that Democratic Platform.

The value of gold is fixed.

That's all I am trying to do.
