THAT Is why you must put an
end to this talk that we shall
win this war in Detroit or in
Boston or in Pittsburgh, or that
we will win 1t in the mines or in
the factories. This war will be
won where wars always have
been won-on the battlefields.
. The plain truth is that we
cannot wage this war by blue
print, nor pay for it by cash. .
He urged also that "you -

"How Often" he asked, "have
you heard it said time is on our
side in this war, as if the issue
were already decided and only

Certainly time Is not on our

Henry A. Wallace today TO be on

Japan would attack Alaska and

push would coincide with a Ger

Drawing a parallel between Hit
Ter and a prizefighter who is on

Wallace said the German Fuehrer
was gathering all his remaining
forces for one last desperate blow.

and fall OF l942 will be time

Vice President told the second
annual dinner Of The Free World
Association
There is abject fear in the heart
OF the mailman (Hitler) and a
growing discomfort among his peo-
piles as he prepares for his last
about offensive" Wallace added.
we may be sure that Hitler and
Japan will cooperate to do the un-
expected-perhaps an attack by
Japan against Alaska and our
northwest coast at time when
German transport planes will be
shuttled from Dakar to furnish
leadership and stiffening 10 a Ger
man-uprising in Latin America"
