Attack Japan Now

T. GEN JOHN l. DEWITT has returned from nspec-
l. Of American territory the Aeutians rctaken after
j. Of japanese occupation with this crisp warning
the American people:
I'VE must carry the to the Japanese.
I'VE must wade in and tear Japan apart and dynamite
and gut her with incendaries.'
Moreover admonishes Gen. Dewitt do these
essential things NOW.
Japan all her early obectives the he points
out. and still holds them intact.
"She has had year pour concrete into her gun posi-
tions which all the beach landings he said
"She IS today training armies from peoples.
"she is pIagng the richest empire in the world to make
guns and bullets to fight
To-day, have only Japan to fight
IF wait for Japan to organize the countries she has
will be fighting the heavily man-powered
nation in the world and of the resourcefu.
I'VE must ALLOW Japan time to indoctrinate these
conquered people
I'VE her dip deeper into her rich treasures"
THE American people should weigh this ominous warning
against the evasve generaities emerged from the
Quebec conference.
that Japan will be defeated SOME TIME.
But Gen. Dewitt wildly illustrates how much GREATER
THE COST WILL BIZ the longer wait.
One gun the Japanese today worth FIVE guns
Two years from uU7v warns
Fifty thousand troops stormng japanese beach now
worth hundred thousand year from
One hundred heavy bnmhers Paramushro TO-DAY
worth thousand two years from today
n EN. DEWITT knows the character and power of the
NJ Japanese.
He has FOUGHT the japanese and he has DEFEATED
them
He knows how hard it is to defeat the Japanese now after
allowing them nearly years Of conquest consolidation and
exploitation
He knows how MUCH HARDER it will be to defeat them
# they given further opportunities for consolidation and
exploitation
Finally Cen Dewitt has the patriotic courage say
what the in the Pacific MEANS 10 America,
Our futurc-yourS, mine and every other Americana
l. FIRST UPON THE PACIFIC" he declares
Japan i OUR MORTAL FOE
OF COURSE. We and WILL defeat japan ultimately
~ But TIME could be saved defeating Japan by
Conducting 'he Pacific q Gen Dewitt urges
Vast quantities nf American materials could be saved
Thousands Of AMERICAN LIVES could be saved
Why Or NOT conduct The agans, Japan our
most competent and experienced and successful military
leaders say t should re conducted
Why. especially. DO not conduct a that

Wishing TO order well their
states, they first regulated their

We see, as suggested in this
quotation, that the ultimate
success Of a democratic state
is directly dependent upon the
responsibility Of the individual.

AUNT ABBY GOES TO WAR

AUNT ABBY GOES TO WAR
IN HERE was Colonel Fred c. Foy of the US.
Army in here last night telling us about how
- the Army is doin' business with small con-
Germs. His job is chief of the small-oonhacts end
of the Army's buyin', an he says the Army is let
tin about 1900 original contracts direct to little
businesses every month.
Il thought you had to have steel mill or
somethim' to get war contract" says to him.
Come over here to the door a minute" says
the Colonel He points down the street to little
white house where little ol' dressnaker lives -
Aunt Abby Martin
There's another Martin family that makes
Martin bombers for the Army says Colonel Foy.
but Aunt Abby Martin down there, with two OF
her nieces an neighbor woman, IS turnln' out
dozens of cotton-hannel nightgowns
@.You see, a lot of the boys arc in cold coun-
tries, an we needed to keep 'em warm in the
hospitals when they get a touch of frostbite
or q cold or whatever else happens.
Aunt Abby sat down an wrote her family
doctor, who had gone to the Army. an sent hum
sample nightgown. 1t got to him the same day the
Doc took to his own bed with the flu So ne tired
Aunt Abby's nightgown an they couldn't get it
off him till he got well
Then he wrote CLOWN letter to the Surgeon
Generals Office, an few days later the Purchasing
Officer called on Aunt Abby an asked her how
much for hundred thousand nightshirts. Aunt
Abby said she might make one or t'oo thousand an
she'd furnish the pattern to anybody else who
wanted to make 'em, an she could turn EN- out
for thrty-four cents apiece, not countin' cloth.
In another week she had her order, and the
past couple of months whole lot of boys IN Ice
land and Alaska have spent their days in Mr.
Glenn Martins bombers an their nights in Aunt
ABBY Martins cotton-fannels.
