The inauguration of President Roosevelt and Vice President Wallace
comes in the midst of a tremendous national effort to gear American in
dustry, economics and man power to the development of notional defense
against a pressing danger. This peaceful, beautiful Capitol has become
the focus of world attention. Its busy streets, hurrying workers, crowded
offices reflect the bustling activity of a Nation at work. And this work—
arming to the teeth—is directed from Washington But against this back
ground of war preparation, there is the permanent, ever changing Washing
ton, a city designed and developed, not as the Capital of a belligerent
Nation, but as a city symbolic of the spiritual aspirations of a peaceful Democ
racy—a Democracy founded in the belief that life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness are the inherent rights of every citizen The tempo of the present
is the furious tempo of war. But that is a fleeting phase in the development
of the beautiful Washington of the present and the future. That Washing
ton is the theme carried out pictorially in this inaugural edition of The Star.
