EDWARD RYAN-fVTA 0 Granada tHiPot fef WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 (UP) Following is the text of Prcsi dent Roosevelt's fourth inaugural address: Mr. Chief Justice, Vice President, My friends: You will-Understand and, I be lieve, agree with my wish that the form of this inauguration be simple and its words brief. "We Americans of today, together with our allies, are pass ing through a period of supreme test. It is a test of our courage of our resolve of our wisdom of our essential democracy.

It we meet that test success fully and honorably we shall. perform a service of historic importance which men and women and children will honor throughout all time. "As I stand here today, having taken the solemn oath of office in the presence of my fellow countrymen in the presence of our God I know that it Is Am erica's purpose that we shall not fail. "In the days and in the years that are to come we shall work for a just and durable peace as today we work and fight for total victory in war. "We can and we will achieve such a peace.

"We shall strive for perfection. We shall not achieve it immediately but we still shall strive. We may make mistakes but they must never be mistakes which result from faintness of heart or abandonment of moral principles. "I remember that my old schoolmaster said, in days that seemed to us then to be secure and untroubled: "Things in life will not always run smoothly. Sometimes we will be rising toward the heights then all will seem to reverse itself and start downward.

The great fact to remember is that the trend of civililation itslf is forever upward; that a line drawn through, the middle of, the peaks and the valleys of the centuries always has an upward trend." "Our constitution of 1787 was not a perfect instrument; it is not perfect yet. But it provided a firm base upon which all manner of men, of all races and colors and creeds, could build pur solid structure of democracy. "Today in this year of war, 1945, we have learned lessons at a fearful cost and we shall profit by them. "We have learned that we cannot live alone, at peace; that our own well-being is dependent on the well-being of other nations, far aiyay. We have learned that we must live as not as ostriches, nor as dogs in the manger.

"We have learned to be citizens of the world, members of the human community. "We have learned the simple truth, as Emerson said, that "the only way to have a friend is to be one." "We can gain no lasting peace if we approach it with suspicion and mistrust and with fear. We can gain it only if we proceed with the understanding and confidence and courage which flow from conviction. "The Almighty God has blessed our land in many ways.

Quttlion Maul Plul a grand lov iloryl I MASSOW- SHtUiil Ml i-X 'it asp Roosevelt Begins Fourth Term With Prayer for Peace (Continued from Page 1) To the inaugural guests after the oath-taking he said: wo pray now to Him for the vision to seek our way clearly to see the way that leads to a better life for ourselves and for all our fellow men to the achievement of His will to peace on earth." Belter Days Promised The cost of the war is a fearful cost, he told them, and from it we are learning our lesson. And he promised better days to come. "We Americans today, together with our allies," the president said "are passing through a period of supreme test. It is a test of our courage of our resolve of our wisdom of our essential democracy. "If we meet that test successfully and honorably we shall perform a service of historic importance which men and women and children will honor throughout all time." Challenging the isolationist philosophy, Mr.

Roosevelt said we had learned that we must "live as men, not as ostriches, nor dogs in the manger." In the peace, he said, we shall stiive for perfection, knowing that it is unobtainable at once but knowing, too, that we "can not live alone at peace, that our own well being is dependent on the well being of other nations, far away." Points Way to Peace We can gain no lasting peace, he continued, "if wo ap proach it with suspicion and mistrust and with fear. We can gain it only if we proceed with the understanding and confidence and courage which flow from confidence and courage which flow from conviction." Diplomats, political figures of local and national importance, the cabinet, the judiciary, the top figures of the aimed service, and a few campaign contributors were in the crowd of inaugura tion guests.

Tnniirht i Cantor Joan Davis jSk fu iti in 1( II ti By JACK CUDDY NEW YYORK, Jan. 20 (UP) Lt. Cmdr. Benny Leonard believes Sgt.

Joe Louis will continue campaigning as a top-flight heavyweight perhaps as champion for five or six more years. Leonard, relegated Louis' latest statement, about retiring after one title defense against Billy Conn, to the pigeonhole of smart operations. "Louis is a smart operator, and he has shrewd advisors," explained the blue-garbed officer of the U. S. maritime service who ruled the lightweight division for seven busy years.

"They don't want the public to forget that when peace comes the big fight the million-dollur fight is that return bout between Louis and Conn. I wouldn't be surprised if Joe would keep promising retirement, until that bout is over. This would help concentrate attention of fight fans on the bout." Benny, in charge of recroaion and morale at the big Sheepshead Bay maritime service training station, said he is convinced the Brown Bomber will continue active for five or six years for three reasons: (1) He loves the fight game; it's his life; (2) he has the body to do it, and needing money when he gels out of the rervico, Sgt. Joe will try to hammer out enough wealth to make him independent for the rest of his life. Leonard emphasized that Louts has the physical equipment for long seivieo in the ring.

The heavyweight champion will be III in May. That would he a ripe age in divisions below the HiU-poiunl, middleweight class, where contestants are out" mote quickly by blistering pace. But Benny stressed that heavies mature later than smaller men. Jle remarked that Bob Filzsim-mons and Jack Johnsim were both 37 when they lost their titles to Jim Jeffries and Jess Willard Willard was when lie look the Toledo beating from Jaek Dempsey, etc. "Jtvj has been fortunate since entering I he army." Leonard said, "that his duties have kept him r.oiug through the motions of training and fighting.

That's very important. It's true that there is sobstitut for tough competition to keep one razor sharp: bul going throimh motions almost daily, like Jne has been doing, will prevent him from losing his speed, timing and judgment of distance. And his sparmates are good enough to keep him alert." Benny knows how important il is to "keep giiing through the motions."
