President Calls for Total Victory and Home Front Unity
In a radio address President Roosevelt urges the United Nations to pursue unconditional surrender of Mussolini’s Italy and continues mobilizing at home. He outlines postwar plans for veterans benefits, unemployment support, training, medical care, and pensions, and stresses all-out effort on both fighting fronts and home front. He praises the Russians, pledges no return to Fascism, and notes renewed pressure on Japanese positions as Allies push to strike the mainland.
