We know how the French people really feel. we know that A'deep. seated determination to obseruoe every step in the Axis plan ex. tends from occupied France through Viohy FKance Co tho people Of thier colonies in every ocean and on every continent.
 Our planes ere heling in tho de. sense oR French colonies today, and soon American nylng foEtresses will bo faRhElng for the liberation ok tho darkened continent oe Europe.
 m all, the occupied countries there are men, women and even httle children who have never stopped fighting, never stopped 70. slsCtng, never stopped proving GO the Nasls that thlNr so-oalled new order" can never Do enforced upon free peoples.
 Tn the German and Italian peo. ples themselves there B a growing conviction that the cause of NaKism and E'Ascism is hopeless-thAt theiE political and military leaders have ied them along the bitter road which leads not Co world conquest but tO final defeat. They cAnAoI fail Co contrast the present frantic speeches of. these leaders witt their arrogant boAstings Of 6 yeal ago, and two years ago.
 On the other side og che world in the RRg East, we have passed through . phase Of serious losses
 We have inevitably lost eontro Of c large portion Of the Phlllppint Hsiands. But this whole nation payl tribute Co the Tlliplno and Amer. lean officers end men who helc out SO long on BAtaAn peninsula Co those grim and gallant flghserl who still hold Corregidor, and tC the forces which are etlll striking effectively Ak the enemy on Mln' dAnAo and other Islands.
 The MAiayan peninsula anC Singapore are an the hands of thu enemy; the Netherlands East In. dies are almost entirely occupied though resistance there continues Many ether islandS arc in the pos seasion os the Japanese. But therl is good reason to believe that thell sOslshwaEd advance has bees checked. Australia, New 1ealAnt and much other territory will bI bases for offensive Aetlcn-And VI are determined that tho terEitor' which has been lost will bs re' gained.

Tho price for civilization must Do paid in hard work and sorrow and blood. The price is not too high. if you doubt 1t, ask those millions who live today under tho tyranny of HitleSisrn.
 Ask the workers Of France and Norway, whipped to labor by the lash, whether the stabilisation of wages is too great a sacrifice"
 Ask tho business men of Europe, whose enterprises have been stolen from their owners, whether the limitation of profits and personal incomes is too great . ''sacriflce."
 Ask the women and children whom Hitler !S starving whether the rationing of tires and gasoline and sugar iS too great Q sacrifice"
 We do not have to ask them. They have already given us theaS AgoniZed aIiSWere..
 This great weR effort must hG carried through to its vctorioui conclfiScn by the indomitable will and determination Of. the people.
 It must not bs impeded by th' faint Oe heart.

U.s.s. Sailfish

Another story concerns . ship rather than on individual man.
 You may remember the tragic sinking Of the submarine squalus ofY the New England coast in the summer Of Ie30. Some of the crew were lest, but others were saved by the speed and efficiency Of the sur- face rescue crews. The Squalus it- self was tediously raised from the bottom of the ocean.
 Eventually she sailed again under Q new name, the U. 0. Q. sailfish. Today, she is . DO" tent end effective unit Of our submarine fleet.
 The GailfiSh has covered many thousands of miles in operationa h the Far Western Pacific.
 She has sunk 6 JapaneSs dc. stroyeF.
 shs has torpsdOed . Japanest cruiser.
 ehe has made two torpedo hitl on Japanese aircrafft carrier.
 Three of the enlisted men oi our navy who went down with the squaluS in 1889 are today serving on the same ship, the sailhsh, in this war.
 It is heartening to know that the Gqualug, once given Up ai lost, roge from the depths to fight for our country in time oi peril.
 one more story, which I heard only this morning:
 This is c story Of one of ouI army flying fortresses operating iT the Western Pacific. The pilot oi this plane is . modest young man proud of his crew for one of the toughest fights A bomber has vel experienced.
 The bomler departed from Nl base, aW part Of a flight Of five to attack JapaneSe transportl which were landing troops in tn
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-04-29

Philippines. When they had gone about half way to their destina- ton, one of the motors of this bomber went out Of commission. The young pilot lost contact with the other bombers. The crew, however, got the motor working again and the plane proceeded on It's mission alone,
 By the time it arrived at its target the other four flying for tresses had already passed over had dropped their bombs, and had stirred up the Japanese zero planes. Eighteen of them attacked our one flying fortress. Despite this mass attack, our plane pro. ceeded on It's mission, and dropped all Of Its bombs on six Japanese transports which were lined ur along the docks.
