Al Capone und Dillinger nur ‚Anfänger‘ –
Gangstervolk im eigenen Spiegel
dnb. Stockholm, 28. Oktober –
Auf Grund seiner Erfahrungen als Direktor des Departements für die öffentliche Sicherheit in Texas malte Oberst Homer Garrison in schwärzesten Farben ein Zukunftsbild seines eigenen Volkes, der amerikanischen Nation.
In einer Rede vor dem internationalen Verband der Polizeichefs erklärte er, Fachleute glaubten, daß die USA einer weit schlimmeren und blutigeren Welle von Verbrechen entgegengehen als zur Zeit der Gangster Al Capone und Dillinger. Man müsse allerorten Aufstände und Streiks erwarten.
So sagte er:
Die ungezügelte Jugend von heute wird nur zu schnell zum Verbrecher von morgen. Wenn der Druck des Krieges einmal gewichen ist, werden wir eine wild gewordene Nation sein, die in ein tolles Wettrennen nach neuen Vergnügungen und neuen Freiheiten hineingerissen wird.

Whereas November 11, 1943, is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the signing of the Armistice with Germany which terminated hostilities at the close of the First World War; and
Whereas Senate Concurrent Resolution 18 of the Sixty-ninth Congress, passed June 4, 1926 (44 Stat. 1982), requests the President of the United States to issue a proclamation calling for the observance of November 11 as Armistice Day; and
Whereas we can best observe that day by rededicating ourselves, with the faith and loyalty of the men who fought and died for our cause during the First World War, to those tasks which are directed toward achieving victory in the present struggle:
NOW, THEREFORE, I, FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, President of the United States of America, do hereby call upon the people of the United States to observe November 11, 1943, by devoting themselves wholeheartedly and with renewed fervor to every task that will contribute to the winning of the war; and I direct that the flag of the United States be displayed on all Government buildings on that day.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States of America to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this twenty-ninth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and forty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and sixty-eighth.
