the japanese will be taken to drive
the invader from the soil of China. :"
he declared. important actions will
be taken in the skies over China
and over Japan itself.
There are many roads which lead
right to Toxic. We shall neglect
none of them"
For the European end of the Axis.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that great Allied
operations are imminent in TuniSia
and that the consequences of Allied
victory there ARE actual invasions
Of the continent of Europe"
Using the plural of invasion"
twice for emphasis. he added that
I'VE do not disguise our intention
to make these invasions." He prom
ised "the enemy must be hit and hit
hard from so many directions that
he never knows which Is his bow and
which Is his stern"
Amplifies Charter.
The Presidents assurance that
the United Nations never again
will permit people to be dominated
by Naziism. Fascism or "Japanism'
had the effect Of amplifying the
Atlantic Charter to make it cleal
that the "Quislings or Lavals" vii
have no chance for power.
The right OF self determination
included in the Atlantic Charter.
he asserted, does not carry with II
the right of any government to com
nit wholesale murder or the right
to make slaves of its own people OF
OF any other people in the world
mo nation in all the world that
is free to make choice is going te
set itself up under the Fascist form
of government. or the Nazi form OF
government, or the Japanese wal
lord form of government. Such
forms are the offspring of seizure OF
power, followed by bridgment OF
! freedom.
! Therefore, the United Nations
can properly say Of these forms OF
government two simple words
Never again"
That declaration was applied par
/ ticularly to the French situation anc
! the political controversy raging over
! what Mr. Roosevelt has described
as the temporary" military ex-
| pedient Of continuing to deal ir
French North Africa with officials
denounced by Gen. Charles de
Gaulle's Fighting French forces as
men of Vichy."
There must be no doubt any
where the President said, that
it is the unalterable purpose OF
! the United Nations to restore tC
conquered peoples their sacred
/ rights.
French sovereignty rests with the
people OF France. Its expression has
been temporarily suspended by Ger
man occupation. Once the trium-
/ phant armies of the United Nations
/ have expelled the common foe
Frenchmen will be represented by a
government Of their own popular
| choice"
With obvious reference to the
moves for increasing military CO.
operation between Gen. de Gaulle
and the forces of Gen. Henri Giraud
in North Africa. Mr.. Roosevelt said
that as each day passes a spirit of
/ unSelflShness is more greatly uniting
all Frenchmen who have the oppor-
tunity to strike blow for liberia
/ ton
/ Describing the StrIggle in Tu-
| nisia as one OF the major battles OF
/ this war in which our prime pur-
( pose is to drive our enemies into
/ the sea, the President warned
that the fighting there will cost us
heavily in casualties"
Tribute to Eisenhower.
He said Prime Minister Churchill
had paid high tribute" to Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower by proposing
this young" American general for
supreme command in Tunisia.
Declaring that Axis propagandists
ARE trying all of their old tricks
