Russians Exploit Called Most Heroic Of War
And Turns HitIer's Propaganda Against Him

ulOTe IIldIl IllllllOll young ScI-
mans are dead, and the armies of
the Nazis are retreating. Now, in
this moment, he declares another
war! And the German people
must be saying, "Is he insane?"
Sure, brothers, he always was.
But interesting is the cry from
his own lips: Roosevelt is in
sane!"
Obviously somebody must be
crazy. for the situation is ab-
normal!
Hitler Does Allies Work.
In the first World War, Ger
many had two popular and arro-
CANT slogans: Many Enemies,
Much Honor" and, War Dec
larations Received Here" After
ward, in defeat, the people re-
membered these slogans, and
turned against their makers. Yet,
even these slogans, made Ger
many the honorable victim. The
new slogans are Here War Dec
larations Are Issued"
ReSult-the shrewdest Allied
diplomats could have tried in
vain forever to create a British
Russian Chinese American alli-
ance. For that is the Alliance OF
the World-reckoned in global
terms.
Hitler succeeded. 1t is his
greatest historic achievement.
Let us solidify his enterprise.
and make a formal alliance of
his great work: For war and for
peace.
Our War Not Won.
Not that it will be easy. The
war of the totalitarians is lost
as surely as 1 sit tipping these
lines. But our war is not won,
and still undecided is how much
we must pay for it in sweat, blood
and tears.
I am for paying the least pos
sible-in the long run-by pay
ing the most Immediately. Never
in world history will an effort
made now pay so much interest
to us tomorrow.

world but we have not organized
it for total war. The Axis has
and have worked themselves into
the best strategical positions. We
must shoot them out.
What is organization for total
war? 1t is common strategy,
common plans for production,
and a common mobilization of
all the spiritual and moral forces
in all our nations.
And of these, the most impor-
tant is the last. 1t is the essence,
as the Chinese and the Russians
know, and as the British learned
after Dunkerque.
Example of Moscow.
Take the example of Moscow:
The offensive against Moscow be-
gan on October 2. and on October
3, Hitler, in his great speech, an
nounced the doom of all Russia,
the fall of Moscow. and the ex-
termination of the Red Army be-
fore the snow should fly. He
acknowledged having underesti-
mated Russian manpower and
material at the beginning, but
announced the mightiest Often
sive in world history: the one
great blow that would knock out
the enemy and finish the Rus
slams forever.
The world trembled. But the
Russian response was a total
mobilization of the people. Mass
meetings in all factories, labor
companies, suicide squads-time
even then for meetings, rallies,
and that comfort and strength
that arises from masses of peo-
pie standing together, visibly.
They worked hours beyond endur-
ance, yet gathered at night to get
new moral strength. And what
was to have been the greatest
victory, becomes, by definition,
the greatest defeat. And comes
at the same moment as Pearl
Harbor.
A hand across the sea to the
Russians And what the Chinese,
the British and the Russians
learned from initial defeat-how
to mobilize the whole moral and
physical strength of the people
we too shall learn, and quickly.
And so years ahead Of the Rus
slams technologically, we must
outdo them.
