OUR CHIEF ENEMY

Right now, with American eyes centered
almost wholly on the Far Eastern theater
of war, it is a good thing to recall that
Adolf Hitler and his Nazi armies are our
chief enemies.
We could batter Japan to her knees,
and still lose the war if Hitler wins.
If Hitler loses, on the other hand, the
defeat of Japan would become a foregone
conclusion.
Japan, without the activity of Hitler
keeping Americas allies busy in Europe
and Africa, and on the sea, would be easy
prey.
Hitler, without Japan, would still be
an enemy of great strength, whose de-
feat is by no means certain thing with
in any given period of time.
If we suffer losses in the Orient, they
are losses which can be recouped at the
proper time. Balanced one against the
other, Allied losses in Europe and Afri-
ca would be far more critical than in
the Far East 1t would take long, and
require more sacrifice, to set them right
again.
Hitler is still our No. l enemy.

IS THIS TRAILS END

AS nearly as we can Judge from mere,
there seems to have been about as much
