in western Europe and to those who
thought the emphasis should be on
the Pacific theater at the time of
the North African invasion.
Make Mistakes
"Such people," he said, "contin-
ually make the mistake of trying to
divide the war into several water
tight compartments as though
all of these fronts were sep
arate ."
Actually, he said, ut Is all one
war"
"It is certain that the campaign
in North Africa, the occupation Of
Sicily, the fighting In Italy and
the compelling Of large numbers Of
German planes to go into combat
In the skies over Holland, Belgium
and France by reason Of our air at
tacks, have given important help to
the Russian armies along their adj
vancing front from Leningrad to
the Black Sea-"
Mr.. Roosevelt did not propose
any specific legislative program to
congress. He suggested no cures
for the nanpower problem. But he
did suggest that I'VE should move
for the greater economic protection
of our returning men and women In
the armed forces -- and for greater
educational opportunities for them"
And for all citizens I'VE should
provide q further measure Of social
security in order to protect them
against certain continuing hazards
of life" he added.
Legislation
Such things, and eventual demob-
ilization, Should be studied now
and much Of the necessary legisla-
ton should be enacted" the Presi-
dent said.
Saying that the fight in the Orient
would be long and difficult" and
would be accompanied by heavy AL
lied losses, the President said "the
power OF Japan will not collapse un-
til 1t has been literally pounded
into the dust-it would be the ut
most folly for us to try to pretend
otherwise"
He went out of his way to en-
courage "the spirit of revolt against
Nal dominance In the satellite
countries under German control"
I'VE have reliable information,
he said, that there Is definite I'M
rest and growing desire for peace
among the peoples Of these satellite
embellishments, Hungary, Fin
land, and Bulgaria. We hope that
in these nations the spirit Of revolt
against Nazi dominance which COM
menced in Italy will burst into flame
and become consuming fire."
Hitler'S Errors
Mr.. Roosevelt devoted much OF his
message to calling attention to the
mistakes Of Adolf Hitler. Hitler's
plans for converting Europe into
an impregnable fortress had several
seriously vulnerable pointS-the lack
Of a roof to guard against Allied
air blows and various other :.
spots which we shall point
out to him in due time" he said:%
The president said that II Hitler
does not as this time know that his
power Is being slowly destroyed, Elm
exorably, day by day then the
last trace Of sanity has departed
from that distorted mind"
He was high in his praise for the
Russian campaign, which he said Is
moving toward the invasion Of
Germany ITSELF
To emphasize the magnitude Of
the war effort and to pound home
the idea that there is no such
separate entity" as the 'home
front" Mr.. Roosevelt cited produc-
ton figures TO show that during

the two months while Congress was
IN recess American factories pro-
duced about $1,000 planes, with an
especially important" increase in
heavy bombers, and 281 ships total
ling 100000 tons-about five ships
a day.
Four Reasons
He listed four reasons why the
Allies still are some distance from
ultimate victory in any maajor war
theater:
1.-Despite our substantial VIC
tories in the Mediterranean, we face
a hard and costly fight up through
Italy-and a major job Of organic
ing our positions before we can take
advantage Of them.
"2.-From bases in the British
Isles we must be sure that we have
assembled the strength to strike not
just in one direction but in many
directions-by land and sea and in
the air-with overwhelming forces
and equipment.
'3.-Athough our Russian Allies
have made a magnificent counter
offensive and are driving our COM
mon enemies back day by day the
Russian armies still have far to go
before they get INTO Germany it
self.
"4.-The Japanese hold firmly es-
tablished positions on an enormous
front from the Kuriles through the
inundated islands to the Eolom0ns
and through the Netherlands East
Indies to Malaysia and Burma and
China. To break through this de-
fenSive ring we must hit them and
hit them hard not merely at one
point but at many points. and we
must keep on hitting them"
New Air Battles
Canvassing plans for the war in
the Pacific, Mr.. Roosevelt said every
day brings new afr battles against
the Japanese which result In much
higher losses for the enemy than
for the Allies. particularly over
China and Burma.
THAT process win continue until
We are ready to strike at the heart
Of Japan ITSELF" he said.

saying" that after Japan suFrendeFs

that without the daring support Of
warships and Of the air force the
battle would have been lost.
The difference between Salerno
and the Battle of Gallipon In which
the British suffered q grim defeat
In World War I, was provided by
the sudden swoop Of all types OF

No Butter Today
By
MARGARET G. ORNDOFF

No butter todayl oh the bread is so
dry,
If don't get some soon, l think l
will die;
Oh to get just one pound, any price
would pay
But the clerk shakes his head, no
butter todayl
I've got enough points, I'd do with
out meat,
But my butter l love, without it /
can't eat;
I'm gonna dig me hole, and there
1 shall stay,
My heart breaks to hear, mo butter
today"
No butter today, how it pounds in
my head,
l miss it SO much, oh l wish l were
dead,
I've cried and I've begged, but in
vain l must say
They gently explain, no butter to-
day!
If l had the dough, I'd buy me
cow
But you see l can't milk, for I've
never learned how;
know it's no use, tho hope and
l pray
shall never more hear, mo butter
today"

Submission THROUGH
Bombing

The mounting intensity of Allied aerial as
sault on continental Europe bears every in
dication of approaching invasion from the
west.
AT the same time, the theory of Major
Alexander de Seversky may prove correct
and the world witness the first about cam
paign to bomb an enemy into submission with
out additional land invasion
Seversky has maintained that enough bomb
ers striking continuously can force any nation
or nations into equalization by the destructive
effect on the minds of the people as well as
on material things.
After the destruction Of Hamburg, Germany
was reported torn by anxiety concerning the
ability Of its air force to check attacks on

ditional funds are demanded from the tax
payers will be forthcoming without complaint.
American taxpayers look to Senator Byrd
to save them from confiscation of their fl
nancial resources for further waste. In light
of his past record, they believe he will not
fail them.

Port Conference

When it was proposed at the meeting OF
the Southern Traffic League in Atlanta that
a conference of shipping interests might well
formulate program for postwar intercoastal
commerce, it remained for j.. T. HERS, gen.
eral agent of the Wilmington Port Commits
sion, to get behind the movement, with
fair prospect that it may be put into effect.
It is not too early, he believes, for port
people to get together and decide what they
will request at the appropriate time, to the
end that when peace returns ard the seas
are again open to shipping they may have
their fair share in the commerce then avail
able and exercise proper influence to build
up the volume and frequency of cargoes han
died at their docks.
Surely it is wise to be forehanded in ship
ping as in any other project from which COM
munity benefits may spring in years to come.
Mr.. HERS naturally hopes to see Whining
TONS port business grow He has worked
hard and faithfully to bring this about for
years and when the war brought an end to
private shipping had made remarkable prog
ress. Despite the discourage of this war
period he has kept steadily at work with an
eye to the future.
But his present undertaking is not wholly
selfish. He looks far beyond the local ports
ramfications in the sound belief that Will
mington, with an adequate expenditure of en-
ergy and initiative will benefit from general
Improvement
1t is to be hoped that the conference Mr.
Hers is promoting will be fully attended and
a tentative program drafted.

Earn More Interest

The extension of time for the third war
bond campaign will give recreant Whining
tonianS chance to reconsider their purchases
and, hopefully, lead them to 60 deeper into
their earnings and reserves.
There should be no further question of
reaching the goal, especially if owners of
savings accounts take into consideration that
by buying bonds with their savings they will
increase the earnings thereon without jeop-
ardizing them or placing the money out of
reach in emergency.
Savings accounts draw but per cent in
terest. The popular bond issues pay up to
IL per cent. If there were no patriotic
motive for switching from the one method of
saving to bonds there is thrifty reason for it.
1t is sound sense to let ones money earn
more.

FOR WISDOM IN VICTORY

Thou hast answered our pray
ers o Faithful Father in Heaven.
and hast given many and great
victories to our arms. To Thee be-
longeth the thanks and the glory.
Because we have fought for the
eternal goals of God, Thou hast
rewarded us with these present
triumphs, and with the prospect
of more and greater until the war
is ended and Thy Name vindi-
Gated. We pray that in the hour
of success we may have magnan-
imous and merciful minds. Let
the valour Of our men be supple
mented by chivalry. Deliver us
from hatred of men, and give US,
instead, deep hatred of wrong
ideas. Prepare our hearts, and
those of the defeated foe, for a
peace of justice and brotherhood.
Quicken within us the great mo-
tives of religion. Show US how.
in this time of triumph. to be
good soldiers of Jesus Christ. full
filling the purposes for which He
died. This we pray, for the veal
of mankind and for the glory of
God. Amen. TIE.

All Share The Credit

The Russians are making such speed that
it is quite impossible to keep up with them
even on a map. Probably as in the past,
their tabulations of enemy dead and captured,
of German tanks and trucks and guns de-
stroyed, are broad estimates. Certainly If
the number of towns and villages they claim
to have retaken is accurate, Russia would
have to be the most densely populated area
in the world. 1t appears likely that farm
houses or even pig sites are listed as villages.
But whatever exaggeration appears in Mos
COW summaries of daily gains, it is not to
be denied that the Russians literally have
the Germans on the run along battlefront
equal in length to our own Atlantic shorellne
and that their present counter-offensive has
regained territory fully as great as Germa-
nys whole area.
Their attack is swift and resistless, marked
by many flashing flank movements in which
pockets of enemy troops are captured or kill
ed and great stores OF war equipment and
materials destroyed Even Berlin admits they
have crossed the Dnieper at several points
They have Kiev under artillery fire They
have driven the foe out of northern eau
casian strongholds, are closing in on t h e
Taman peninsula, and threaten to cut off
the large German forces in the Crimea In
some areas of the Ukraine and White Russia
the German retreat closely resembles rout
The Germans still declare it strategic re-
tirement, but if half of what is reported in
news dispatches is true, it is a race for home
and mother.
Too much praise cannot be given the Rus
slams for their magnificent fighting. But Rus
STA alone is not to be credited with the Ger.
man reverse on the Eastern front. The battle
in Italy is having its effect on the enemys
strength in Europe. The uncertainty in Berlin
as to where the Allies will strike next must
be counted when appraisal is made of weak
ening Axis resistance in Russia The bomb
ings by Allied air forces, which for months
have been whiting Germany's war produc-
ton and decreasing requirements cannot be
overlooked or discounted 1t is the Russians
on the firing line on the Eastern front, but
the battle is being fought along the shin of
Italy too and from every arfeld where Allied
bombers rise to attack German controlled in
dustry, from the camps of Yugoslav guer-
rillas, from every industrial plant in the Unit
ed States and Britain making the tools of
war, and in every American shipyard build
ing vessels to transport them to war zones.
This combination is what will finally bring
complete defeat of the enemy in Europe-and
in the Orient too, later on.

Save Us, Senator Byrd

Senator George paints a gloomy picture of
the next tax levy, with normal and surtax
rates raised to 80 per cent in the lowest
brackets, further reduction in the exemption
for married persons and increase of excise
taxes. His estimates are based on the prop
osition that $4,000, 100000 additional federal
revenue is to be produced and not on the
figure $2OOo,0OO,o00 higher which the treas
ury wants. If the Treasury's demands should
be met Senator George would have to add
more black paint, the effect Of which, para
logically, would be to turn the picture into
q red blotch for taxpayers.
It may reasonably be anticipated that be-
fore any additional levies are made Senator
Byrd, who has done so much to expose gov
eminent waste and extravaganza, will 60 into
action with all the forensic and factuaI am
munition and guns he can muster and con.
tinue the fight he has led until Washington
stops dipping into private pockets and bank
accounts for nom essential spending. Senator
Byrd can win the battle if victory over gov
ornamental extravaganza is possible.
1t has been shown time and again, and is
demonstrated anew by the liberal purchases
in this third war bond campaign, that the
American people will support the war pro-
gram with their last dollar, their final pair
