THE FOUR FREEDOMS

"In the future days, which we seek to make

secure, we look forward to a world founded

upon four essential human freedoms...

...freedom of speech and expression

everywhere in the world.

...freedom of every person to worship God in

his own way eveywhere in the world.

...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 wold.

...freedom from fear - which, translated into

world terms, means a worldwide 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..."

~~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
