Our nation has entered into an age in which Divine Pro\idence has permitted the genius of man to unlock the secret of the atom.
No system of government can survive the challenge of an atomic era unless its administration is committed to the stewardship of a trustee imbued with a democratic faith, a buoyant hope for the future, the charity of brotherhood, and the vision to translate these ideals into the realities of human government. The Government of the United States, administered by the Democratic Party, is today so entrusted.
The free choice of the Democratic Party by the people of America as the instrument to achieve that purpose will mean world peace with honor, national security based on collective pacts with other free nations, and a high level of human dignity. National survival demands that these goals be attained, and the. endowments of the Democratic Party alone can assure their attainment.
For twenty years, under the dedicated guidance of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S Truman, our country has moved steadily along the road which has led the United States of America to world leadershpi in the cause of freedom.
We will not retreat one inch along that road. Rather, it is our prayerful hope that the people whom we have so faithfully served, will renew the mandate to continue our service and that Almighty God may grant us the Wisdom to succeed. Twenty Years of Progress
Achieving Prosperity. An objective appraisal of the past record clearly demonstrates that the Democratic Party has been the chosen American instrument to achieve prosperity, build a stronger democracy, erect the structure of world peace, and continue on the path of progress.
Democratic Party policies and programs rescued American business from total collapse—from the fatal economic consequences of watered stock, unsound banks, useless and greedy holding companies, high tariff barriers, and predatory business practices, all of which prevailed under the last Republican administrations. Democratic policies have enabled the Federal government to help all business, small and large, to achieve the highest rate of productivity, the widest domestic and world markets, and the largest profits in the history of the nation.
