‘‘We Need Fear Nothing.
Except Fear Itself - • I
President Roosevelt’s first words at his first
inauguration.
PRESIDENT FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
PRESIDENT OARRY S. TRUMAN
< From the llowliiic, I'. S. Naval Traiinng School Hampton Va.)
The deep shock and bewilderment which descend
ed upon our natiin last week, indeed, upon the
whole world, at tin* news of our President’s death,
gives rise to the question, “Where shall we turn
now for guidance.” His death has left a shadow on
the war to the west and on the peace conference.
The President’s first words at his first inaugur
ation were: "We need fear nothing—except fear it
self.' 'Phis creed he has left us, and the American
people will do well to remember it during the trying
days to come.
Today, as on previous occasions, fate has given us
a new leader, a President attuned to the needs of
the hours. President Harry S. Truman. His first
words after inauguration assure us that the war
will he earned on vigorously and1 to a successful con
elusion according to the precedent set by FDR.
His is the tremendous task of guiding this coun
try to victory and the even greater problem of lead
ing the country to peace. This is a time for great
ness in history.
Harry S. Truman is a modest, quiet-spoekn man.
There is nothing flashy about him. He is unassum
ing and one of his greatest qualities is that people
like him, his kindness, generosity, and his goodness
of spirit. He will be content to go slow, to hold
what has been won. He is straight and true. His
mother once said, “He can plow the straightest row
of coin of anyone in the country.” He has a clean
sense of economy which the country can stand in all
of our wartime spending. His promise to carry on
the war is a completion of Roosevelt’s policy. Fate
has indeed chosen a man who is qualified to handle
the problems of the moment.
He has asked the members of the Cabinet to stay
and serve him. They will once again he able to
hold the place that was once so completely dominat
ed by the brilliant chief-executive.
The nation is strong, it is victorious, it will carry
oil. We’ vc licked trouble before, and we can do it
again. The war is greater than any one man living
or dead and the world may rest assured that we will
see it through.
We ask Hod’s gui lance as we look forward in the
faith of our new leader.

BRETTON WOODS INTERNATIONAL
MONETARY AGREEMENT
SECURE CONGRESSIONAL
APPROVAL
Congress is now considering the ratification of
the Bretton Woods agreement, approved in the sum
mer of 1944 by the financial officers and experts of
44 nations.
Legislation to empower the President to arrange
for our participation in the International Monetary
Fund and the International Bank for Reconstruct
ion and Development was introduced on February
1 lb, 194•'». Simple majority vote will pass it. Spoil
sors in the Senate were Robert F. Wagner (D NY)
and Charles W. Tobej (R NH) jointly (S. 540); in
the house Brent Spence (DKy) (HR2211). Mr.
Wagner and Mr. Spence are chainnen respectively
of the Senate and House Committees on Banking
and Currency to which the hills were referred.
Hearings of the House Committee began March
7. To date the Committee has not made a report.
In fact, Mr. Spence has not yet said whether hear
ings are completed. While Mr. Wagner has made
announcement several time of substantial public
support which has been registered with him and ex
presses confidence in ultimate Senate passage, his
Committee has not begun hearings. The Senate ap

pears to be waiting for House Action.
Eferybody in Washington seems to be waiting!
The reasons are readily disceraed. On the crucial
proposals for world organization which will confront
the Congress steadily from this point forward, our
leaders are determined to proceed cautiously, seek
ing clear mandate from the people at home before
they bring an issue to vote.
On the other hand!, postponement will often be the
key tactic of the minority opposition both in and
out of the Congress, as in this instance. A strong
opposition to one-half the agreement—the Fund
has developed, stemming principally from a certain
section of big banekrs. Their arbument runs this
way: Let us bo slowly. The Bank idea is sound;
there has been such before. But the Fund is a new
and untried type of international procedure, and
risky business. We are against the Fund proposal.
If you'insist, the Bank plan might be approved
now. But wait until after the War to decide about
the Fund.
It is your responsibility as a Christian citizen to
investigate the answers to these arguments. Which
should not be difficult for the issue has place in the
public forum of the newspapers and radio daily. It
is the judgement of the UCCD thtt the Fund is both
sound and necessary for the stabilization of curren
cy, making possible an expanding and free-flowing
international trade. It should be established at
once.
It is urgent, therefore, that the millions of Amer
ican citizens, realizing that an extensive and a reli
able world trade is essential to full employment and
economic security at home and abroad, should
quickly express their support of both Fund and
Bank to their representatives in the Congress.
What will 43 other nations conclude if approval
is delaved indefinitely on this plan of collective se
curity in monetary matters, a plan developed by our
own Government and approved by its official dele
gation at Bretton Woods'? San Francisco and April
25 draw near. An agreement on finance is a foun
dation stone upon which othei' security measures
must be built. Our attitude on Bretton Woods be
comes the toekn of whether we really mean to co
operate with other nations.
