In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. . . .

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. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.
