For five straight months. how
ever a steady drop in the rate Of
increase was noted. The overall in
crease in juno was u per cent
10 per cent in July, s per cent in
August, 4 per cent in September
and 3 per cent in October.
The WPB chairman. who has
just won victory over the

scheduling was responsible for the
fact that tho nation 5 output lost

price they paid was too great.
Tlmoshenko fought the Axis
to standstifi, and his great
decisive and strategic victory
began on November Is when
his troops definitely stopped
the Nazi onslaught on Stain
grad and then assumed two
huge offensives.
The same conditions apply
10 the southern arm. Neither
side obtained decisive results,
during the back and forth
fighting Of the summer, until
British Gen. Sir Bernard Law
Montgomery definitely and
maginificently took the Of
fensive and announced on No
vember 5 that the overrated
Rommel was defeated in dis
organized retreat.
Thus, both arms Of the
Axis in the west were COM
pletely beaten. Too much
praise cannot be given 10 our
Russian and British allies.
| must also mention other
fighting which Al no particu-
lar time was decisive in re-
suits, but which, by the total
operation, has created per-
manent strategic victories.
Throughout the year the con.
tinuous bombing Of Europe
has been entirely effective be-
cause Of the destruction
wrought and the "softening
up effect upon the population
Of countries under Axis
tyranny.
The desperate battle Of the
Atlantic has been decisive in
asmuch that the sea lanes are
still open. United Nations
ships dominate the seven seas.
Now We have opened new
fighting front in Africa. In.
vasion Of Nazi Europe is a
question Of time.

they would be bombed off
o the face of the earth. Then
came Admiral Halsey's mag
nificent attack against the
Marshall Islands.
THE NENT outstanding
strategic victory was the
British seizure Of the French
naval base AT Diego Suarez
on tho island Of Madagascar
on May 6. The British com
pleted this Job by taking the
entire island by September
II. Had the Japanese navy
grabbed this prize first, the
Nipponcse might have cut the
United Nations supply lines
TO the Middle East via the
Red Sea and TO Russia via
the Persian Gulf.
Then there was our deci-
sive defeat Of the Japanese
navy an the Battle Of the
Coral Sea, south of the Solo

liant naval action, a ma or
Japanese drive to seize the

Now comes the Middle

The Axis nations in 1889.

war machines known to his

democracics totally unprc-
pared for war. And now, in
the fourth year Of combat, the
AXIS nations stand on the

gallant sacrifices Of all our
allies.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 7 (INS).
The United States observed the
anniversary Of Pearl Harbor today
with the grim warning that its
war production, while currently in
excess of the AXIS output, lost
momentum in the final months OF
the first year OF war.
Donald NJ. Nelson, chairman Of
the War Production Board. dis
closed that overall munitions pro-
duCtion increased only 3 per cent
in October, tho lowest monthly
rise Of the year. while plane output
was down 5 per cent and merchant

French l1do.ChIra and the
island Of Hainan the Japa.
reese had 90 establish a safe
sea lane az supply from the
japanese islands through the
China and ScJ;6 China seas
t1 these bases.
Therefore the Philippine
Islands were a necessity be-
cause this archipelago entirely
protected this sea lane.
HonCkong had 10 he climi-
mated as s., was a British base
on the other side Of the lane,
Likewise. the Malayan Pen
insula had 10 be conquered
because. IN addition to Ma
lava s wealth Of raw mate
uals. Singapore was essen
ual as a stepping stone TO the
Dutch East Indies. Our islands.
Of Wake and Guam had 10 be
seized IN order to block our
air line TO the Philippines.
The Burma road to China
had 10 be severed. Lastly
by their sneak attack al
Pearl Harbor. the Nipponcsc
thought they could destroy
our battle fleet and thus gain
supremacy over the vast Pa
ciflc. And today We know
how close they came to this
accomplishment, but IN c y
failed.
Therefore, on that fateful
December :, Japan struck ST.
simultaneously AT practically
all Of her detectives our
fleet IN Pearl Harbor, Wake,
Guam. the Philippines, the
Malayan Peninsula and Hong
kong.
The island OF Wake after
most gallant defense, surren-
dered on December "a. Hong.
kong fell two days later. Ma
Mia was captured on Jan. ?,
1912.
on FEBRUARY Is, the
British surrendered Singa-
pore. Two days before that
the invasion Of the Dutch
East Indies had begun. BY
March IA, the Japanese held
the Netherlands East Indies
possessions approximately as
they do today. The islands Of
Borneo, Sumatra, Java and
parts Of New Guinea have
fallen 10 the invader.
The Nipponese also had oh
tanned their foothold in the
Solomon Islands. Practically
all Of the original Japanese
detectives, except the antici-
pated destruction Of our bat
tie fleet. had been accom-
plished in about three and a
half months time. But, black
as this story was up TO that
time, by the end Of March
the pendulum had com
menced 10 swing toward
United Nations victory.
Since the Nipponcsc war
lords had so rapidly gained
their first aims, further OBJ
lec,lvcs were in order. Their
conquest Of the Dutch East
Indies was entirely insecure so
long as Australia was held by
the United Nations. This con-
tinent is definitely the back
yard Of the East Indies.
Therefore the Japs' imme-
diate next desire was to cap
turc Australia il possible. by
occupying all Of the islands to
the cast, from the Solomons
southwark through the New
Hcbrides 20 New Zealand.
From these southornmost
islands the japanese planned
TO cut our nam lnc Of sup
ply TO sydney and then as
sault Australia itself.

first great decisive stroke.
