have huge job before US. AS never
before, we have the opportunity to
do something for posterity and we
must not fail. This war is our
challenge" The speaker added,

than Axis armies"

heavy load, has always known
tough going.
"It's not asking too much for
him now to carry on battles on two
fronts.
"He must battle the enemy with
men, war bonds at home and
abroad.
HE must battle his domestic
enemies, pounding into their preju-
diced heads that this is q war for
survival and if we must die for
America and its allies, we must
also i've"
