As a nation, we may take pride in the fact that we are softhearted; but we cannot afford to be soft-headed. We must always be wary of those who with sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal preach the "ism" of appeasement. We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.

—Franklin D Roosevelt, State of the Union Address (the "Four Freedoms speech"), delivered to Congress, Jan 6, 1941

Freedom From Want

[chriswhodrawsstuff]

Freedom from fear.

I was listening to tax expert Professor in Accountancy Richard J Murphy speak this morning (I am that rock and roll) and he was talking about the notion of ‘freedom from fear’ and how this applies to the United Kingdom’s poor and vulnerable today. It was a concept introduced by President Roosevelt in his ‘four freedoms’ speech in 1941 along with freedom from want, freedom of speech and expression…

No realistic American can expect from a dictator's peace international generosity, or return of true independence, or world disarmament, or freedom of expression, or freedom of religion -or even good business. Such a peace would bring no security for us or for our neighbors.

"Rehearse For Victory Parade By Buying Bonds Today," Toronto Star. April 26, 1943. Page 17. ---- FOUR ALLIED LEADERS TELL TORONTO CITIZENS WHY LOAN IS NEEDED ---- FROM THE CITY HALL THE ALLIED LEADERS LOOK FOR TORONTO'S GREATEST EFFORT ---- Churchill, Roosevelt. Kai-shek, Stalin Speak From City Hall Steps --- ON FOUR FREEDOMS --- THE BUGLES SOUND THE CLARION CALL TO BUY VICTORY BONDS --- The voices of the four great United Nations leaders re-echoed through Toronto's downtown streets today. Recorded from recent addresses they have made, and played over a loud speaker system in from of City Hall, were speeches made by Winston Churchill, Chiang-Kai-Shek and Joseph Stalin describing the "Four Freedoms" in connection with the Fourth Victory Loan. Chiang Kai-Shek and Stalin speak in their native tonques, and English translations follow each of them.

Here are their messages: WINSTON CHURCHILL: "If we had kept together after the last war, if we had taken common measures for our safety, this renewal of the curse of war need never have fallen upon us. Do we not owe it to ourselves, to our children, to tormented mankind to make sure that these catastrophes do not engulf us for the third time? It has been proved that pestilences may break out in the Old World,which carry their destructive ravages into the New World, from which once they are afoot, the New World cannot escape. Duty and prudence alike command, first, that the germ centres of hatred and revenge should be constantly and vigilantly served. and treated in good time and that an adequate organization should be set up to make sure that the pestilence can be controlled at its earliest beginning before it spreads and rages throughout the entire earth."

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT: "The four freedoms of common humanity are as much elements of man's needs as air and sunlight, bread and salt. Deprive him of all these freedoms and he dies. Deprive him of a part of them and a part of him withers. Give them to him in full and abundant measure and he will cross the threshold of a new age - the greatest age of man. These freedoms are the rights of all men of every creed and every race, wherever they live. This is their heritage long withheld. We of the United Nations have the power and the men and the will at last to assure man's heritage."

GENERALISSIMO CHIANG KAI-SHEK: "Our Chinese people are convinced that the principles enunciated in the Atlantic Charter are not vague assurances and empty diplomatic phraseology, but that they are the underlying convictions to which the peace-loving people of America are dedicated. To my mind. these principles apply not only to America and Europe, but also to all peoples and races so that freedom, justice and equality may reign the world over."

PREMIER STALIN: "We are waging a great war of liberation. We are not waging it alone, but in conjunction with our Allies. It will end in our victory over the vile foes of mankind, over the German Fascist imperialists. On our standard is inscribed "Hail the Victory of the Anglo-Soviet-American Fighting Alliance." Hail the liberation of the nations of Europe from Hitler's tyranny."

Four Freedoms

The Four Freedoms were goals articulated by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt on Monday, January 6, 1941. In an address known as the Four Freedoms speech (technically the 1941 State of the Union address), he proposed four fundamental freedoms that people “everywhere in the world” ought to enjoy: “In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four…

FOUR ESSENTIAL FREEDOMS

Franklin Delano Roosevelt

In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential freedoms. The first is freedom of speech and expression — everywhere in the world.

The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way — everywhere in the world.

The third is freedom from want — which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants — everywhere in the world.

The fourth is a freedom from fear — which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor — anywhere in the world. That is no vision of a distant millennium.

It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb. To that new order we oppose the greater conception — the moral order. A good society is able to face schemes of world domination and foreign revolutions alike without fear.

Since the beginning of our American history, we have been engaged in change — in a perpetual peaceful revolution — a revolution which goes on steadily, quietly adjusting itself to changing conditions — without the concentration camp or the quick-lime in the ditch. The world order which we seek is the cooperation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized society.

The nation has placed its destiny in the hands and heads and hearts of its millions of free men and women; and its faith in freedom under the guidance of God.

Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights or keep them. Our strength is in our unity of purpose. To that high concept there can be no end save victory.

"Nineteen Eighty-Four was not supposed to be an instruction manual."

Yet so much Orwell's writings ring true today. Big Brother Watch is determined to make Nineteen Eighty-Four fiction again.
