What enc thing won the war2

Wnab enc guAAB WIN SnS war
It was leadership.
We in this country are not willing
to adnait that the weight of u army
and navy did not play a large part
in bringing hOstilities to a close; but
without the unified command we
might be fighting yet.
Leadership was what won for the
allies in their fight to make the
world "safe for democracy" In all
the world, throughout all history,
there clever was a bigger job than
this. and the leadership of Gen. FOch
finished it.
But what has this to do with u
home town? you ask.
Well show you in just a minute.
Leadership is Essential
What mObilized all America so that
it was able to put the weight of all
its 11O,OOO,OOO people, Of all its in
dustry. Of all its wealth and Of all
it's natural resources behind the blow
we struck for humanity?
Leadership, again. What this ccun-
try did in providing the world with
a merchant marine, is a case IN
point.
If we pull in opposite directions
we, the community, will suffer. China
has 4OO, OOO,O 900 men, each Of whom
can out-work AM American. Russia
has a large population, and great nat
ural wealth, yet neither China nor
. Russia is prosperous. They lack real
leaders.
Must Sustain Leaders.
Bozeman must sustain its leaders
if they are to guide the way during
these reconstruction times. When we

!. support, then we can hold them &C
countable for the progress Of the
