that We are their only nope.
The following remarks are a portion
of his address: -
Il fear there is tendency in this
country TO minimize the tremendous
proportions OF this conflict and the
sacrifice ii viii entail in blood and
treasure. fear that We have been
hoping against hope that this war was
nearing its end.
when we realize the utter break
down OF Russia; when il appears that
Italy IS also in danger OF collapse;
VIXEN we appreciate the fact that
France has given up her last man, and
that England is straining every nerge:
magnificent as has been the yaier and
the achievements OF our Allies. 1t
must appear TO anyone that after all
is said and done the TIniter States
with her one hundred million people
and with her country tremendously
rich. must inaIIy deliver the blow iha
will end sutocratic military rule in ii's
world and rcnhnr impossible another
conflict like the present.
