many may use parachute troops in
an all-out attempt TO capture the
British stronghold Of Tobruk, on
the Libya coast. and thus clear the
way for a big scale attack on the
main British forces on the Egyptian
frontier, military quarters report

Informants pictured an attack in

their new Az inch and 8h inch
Howitzers, send dive bombers to
try to break the outer defenSes OF
the fortress and then launch a gi-
gantic tank attack while parachut-
lists landed in the British defense

forces would regroup but that it

would essay an attack on the main

border or try to take Tobruk first

However, in other quarters it was
doubted that the Germans would
again leave Tobruk on their flank,
where its garrison could make a
sortie timed with a possible new

comforts and hardships that you and |
will have to endure
Well, the American people can take it.
None of the Inconvenience, discomfortS
and hardshipS they will be called on to
endure can compare with those endured
by the men of Bataan and Corregidor,
the men of Dunklrk, or the men of Pearl
Harbor. They are not likely to-b be as
severe as those endured by the men and
women and children of London and Gov
entry, either. The American people will
accept what necessity demands, without
complaining.
Fortunately, too Nelson's picture was
not all dark. He pictured a brighter
day than we have ever known, when this
war Is over. -
Our America today is really begin
ming to work at full speed for the first
time" he said I'VE are learning things
about production; about the use of ma
terials, about the way to make more out
of less than we ever knew before :. This
war will be over some day. Then our
real job will be just beginning. We
actually have in our hands the materials
out of which a freer, richer, happier
world can be made. Let no one imagine
that we shall lack the good sense to use
those materials properly.
"This world will need many things
when the war is ended and when
those needs are met, there will be still
another demand-an irresistible cry from
millions of plain people who will insist
that in one way or another the power
which was used to win the war will be
turned now to satisfy human needs. We
can answer that cry. We shall have the
fairest opportunity any nation ever had
the opportunity to put unlimited
strength to work in a free world for the
benefit of all Of u.s.
That is the challenge of the future, and
America must meet it with the same vigor
it is putting into the immediate task of
winning the war.
