Fight 10 End
is War Pledge
Of Commander
General PIunses
Deep into Plons
for Offensive
BY TOM YARBROUGH

CANBERRA, March 26-(R
General Douglas Macarthur
\ pledged tonight that there can
be no compromise; we shall win
or we shall die, and to this end
I pledge you the full resources
of all mighty power of my coun-
try and all the blood of my coun-
trymen." :.
At the height of historic din
ner in Parliament House, the
first American commander ever
to lead united forces of United
States and Australian troops de-
clared his conference.-the "un-
breakable faith of a free man.
in ultimate victory.
LINK THAT BINDS
There is link that binds our
countries together" he declar-
ed. II have come as a soldier IN
a great crusade Of personal lib
erty as opposed to perpetual
slavery. My faith in our ultimate
victory is invincible.
II bring you tonight the UNI
breakable faith of a free man.
Prime Minister John Curtin,
who .pored over battle plans with
Macarthur before the dinner,
declared that under the American
generals leadership "the war
can be fought with dynamic en-
ergy and inflexible purpose"
Curtin declared that MacAr-
thur had the fullest confidence
of Australia's war council.
PROMISES NEWS
Forced as we are to battle
on our own SOIL" Curtin said,
"the plans we are making are
not matters for publication. /
have no doubt that just as we
can surprise the enemy we will
crafty ourselves. News of what
we have done and not news of
what we intend will be the only
kind of news which the war
council can from now on make
available"
Macarthur, in his new role of
United Nations supreme COM
mander in the southwest Pacific,
plunged deep into conferences
with the commemorative lead
ers as soon as he arrived here
today on his first visit to the
Australian capital.
Dispensing with all formalties,
Macarthur went at once to Cur
tins chambers after receiving at
Parliament House the cheers of
a small group of officials, among
whom was Army Minister Fran
els Forde.
