observance. police said.
Declaring that the greater the
unity of the people at home the
greater would be the soldiers "ag-
gressive will to fight on the field of
battle" Gen. Drum said that is the
spirit of the Army and that is the
spirit Of Army Day this year.
The Army's realization of this
spirit OF unity will sustain us in
this present crisis. 1t is a spirit
which makes every hour a vital
hour, the spirit that drives every
citizen to respond to the call for
DUTY wherever he may serve best the
interests of the Nation.
Discount and silence dissenting
and pickering groups, secure unity
in spirit and effort to finish the
difficult job ahead, and you will
meet the common demand of the
American soldier man of today.
He expects all Of us in every
walk Of life to concentrate on fin
ishing the war job first, to postpone
internal strife and needless argu-
ment and selfish interest until peace
has been won.
He feels that all citizens should
follow his example In surrendering
his individual pursuit of happiness
in order to preserve it for the
future"
The First Army head called for a
similar unity among the United
Nations, asserting special national
interests, international supremacy
and the long view of selfish diplo-
macy and economy must be shelved
and a gas mask placed over their
sinister heads for the duration of
the war.
Expressing full confidence in ulti-
mate victory" Gen. Drum said 'the
soldier in ranks calls for victory
without delay. He is willing to &C
cept the sacrifices involved and he
expects his fellow countrymen in
civil life to join him in this con-
viction. Today, aggressive, all-out
action on the home front is just as
essential as in the fighting ranks"

Hear Coolies Tell of
Round World Flight
Bv Grefchin Smith

A conviction that the United Ma
tions will win the war and that an
immediate clarif1cation by the
United States of it's postwar plans
will hasten the defeat of Germany
and Japan was expressed yesterday
by Gardner Cowles, jr., who re-
Gently returned as a member of
Wendell WILKES round the
world" inspection fight which car
ried him to the battle fronts Of Eu-
rope, Africa and China.
Speaking at the weekly luncheon
meeting of the Woman's National
Democratic Club, Mr.. Cowles as
serted that leaders he had con-
tacted in both Russia and China, as
well as the people of the Arab world,
want more of a share in running
the war" Many feel that this is
predominantly an "Anglo-Saxon"
war. he continued, and they are
wondering what part they will play
in the planning of the peace.
II know that we must make more
clear to our Allies and potential al
lies just what kind of world we in
the United States are going to work
for when the chance of peace
comes" he declared. "The trip
made me more certain that clari-
fication of our postwar plans now
will help lick Germany and Japan,
since clarification will remove the
doubts which are keeping some of
our Allies from fighting with all
their hearts," he added.
The speaker asserted that whereas
American supplies have reached
Gen. Montgomery's British troops
in great and satisfying quantity"
the amounts we are sending to Rus
sia and China are not enough.
Despite the severe transportation
difficulties and action on several
fronts, we will have to send more"
he declared.
Even our opening direct fronts
against Germany and Japan must
not be permitted to interfere with
our trying to provide Russia and
China with equipment in effective
quantity" he added.
MT. COWleS, VINO is puDllSher OF
the. Des Moines Register and Tribune
and Is now with the Office Of
War Information, gave interesting
glimpses of the flight which carried
his party over 81 900 miles in 49 days
He rapidly sketched the tour which
carried him into the heart of Africa,
where the American Medical Corps
is conquering devasting malarial
mosquitoes; on to Cairo, where they
met the British field commander,
Gen. Montgomery, and the British
and American Air Forces COM
manders, Air Marshal Tedder and
Maj. Gen. Louis Brereton; and from
Cairo to Ankara, Turkey, where
the people fear both Germany and
Russia"
Mr.. CoWles further carried his
audience with him to Irao, where
Arab leaders we talked with ex-
pressed the hope and confidence
that the Atlantic Charter means
what it says-that 1raq will be free
when the war is ended" From Irao,
he told how they flew on to Iran,
where the Persian people also want
assurance that Persia will be COM
pletely free after the war, and then
on to Russia, where Mr.. Cowles de-

Mrs. Lydia Van Zandt
Tells How Republic
Is Aiding u. S.

"Our Ally, Brazil was the subject
Of lecture given by Mrs. Lydia Van
Zandt before members of the Wash
ington Club yesterday. The lecture
was the second in a series sponsored
by the club for the benefit Of local
war relief.
The speaker told many interesting
incidents of her visit last summer
to Petropolis, the summer capital of
Brazil, where she met two great
granddaughters of Emperor Pedro
II, ruler Of Brazil when that nation
was an empire, who are now running
a child clinic and nursery for the
poor.
Last month one of these young
women was married to the pretender
to the throne Of Portugal in a mag
nificent ceremony in the gray stone
cathedral of Petropolis," Mrs. Van
zandt added.
The speaker told of the celver DO
litical handling of the Fascist Green
Shirt movement by President Vargas
OF Brazil and how later he declared
war on the Axis when he realized
Hitler wished to enslave his coun-
try.
Mrs. Van Zandt concluded her
talk with summary of the mutual
benefits which are being enjoyed by
Brazil and the United States
through commercial and other re-
lationships.

to dispatch men and supplies to all

clared he developed a great admira-
ton for the Russians and could
understand how they have made
their miraculous defense.
The speaker told of the part Rus
sian women are playing in the de-
fense of their country, in factories,
at the front with the army and on
the state farms
From Russia, the party flew on to
China, he continued, and were met
by thousands of happy, smiling
Chinese, each carrying an American
flag and banners with the slogan,
United States and China-united
to win, unite to build"
Mr.. Cowles paid high tribute to
China's great leaders, Generalissimo
and Nine. Chang Kai-shek, by
whom the party was entertained.
The Chinese have the will and the
manpower to drive the Japs from
China but they can never do so
unless the United States delivers
them heavy offensive weapons, he
declared.
Summing up his conclusions, the
speaker said:
Il was struck by the people of the
world turning longing. hopeful eyes
toward the United States, searching
for the leadership to guide them
toward freedom and opportunity. I
came home feeling that the men who
run the United States now or in the
future must always be men who can
see around the world"
The flight, which was accom-
pllshed so quickly without delays or
mechanical failures, emphasized
that isolationalism is a thing of the
past, Mr.. Cowles declared.
THE issue of isolationism is as
dead as the issue of secession" he
concluded. I'm the future no nation
will be safely free unless the whole
world is at peace and the whole
world will not be at peace unless
it is made up of free men"
