Mr.. Roosevelt spoke last night x
maugrate the third war loan drive
q test Of economic self.sacrifce ir
which the American people are moi
asked to give o leg or an arm or ar
eye, but to lend their money, $i5,.
600, 000, 900 Of 1t. Mr.. Roosevelt SAID
We may be sure that the enemy will
watch the progress Of this war loar
drive because 1t will measure the
unity and determination OF the
United States to hammer the wal
to a successful conclusion.
Over Optimism Dangerous
Rome now, Berlin next and Their
Tokyo Is the way the Allied time
table read today. But every respon.
sible individual In this capital was
apprehenSive that over optimism
may hamper our war effort.
1taly's fall was good news but
the President warned that the time
for celebration has not come. The
facts are that there Is no assurance
Of how much Of Italy has fallen
how much Of 1t the Italian govern.
ment can deliver to the United Ma
tons. Somewhere In Italy the Ger.
mans will take a stand, and there
the battle will be joined.
Further moves In the cleanup OF
the Mediterranean seemed the most
likely military developments to be
expected today-or soon.
Italy's surrender aroused more In
terest than enthusiasm In the CAPT.
tai. On this morning after. that
aspect of capital reaction was even
more pronounced. Equally notice
able was oficial anxiety lest the
good news discourage war loan sub.
scrtptions or suggest to capital,
labor or management that the
urgent necessity for supreme pro-
ductive effort had passed. Report
erS could sense that at the Treas.
ury, the White House, all over town
Not the End
Let US not delude ourselves that
this armistice means the end Of the
war in the Mediterranean" the
President said. I'VE must drive the
Germans out Of Italy as we have
driven them out Of Tunisia and
Sicily; we must drive them out OF
France and all the other captive
countries; and we must strike them
on their own soil from all direc-
tons.
Our ultimate detectives Of the
war continue to be Berlin and
Tokyo.
81 ask you to bear these objec-
tives constantly in naind-do not
forget that we stu have . long
way TO 60 before attaining them.
"The great news you have heard
today from General Dwight d.
Eisenhower does not give you license
to settle back In your rocking
chairs and say. Well, that does It.
We've got EN- on the run. Now We
can start the celebration
The time for celebration Is not
yet. And ! have q suspicion that
when this war does end, we shall
not be In Q very celebrating frame
o. mind. ! think that our main
emotion will be one Of grim deteFna.
inatlon that this shall not happen
again."
Mr.. Roosevelt emphasized the close
consultative contact maintained
with Prime Minister winston
Churchill. the military leaders and
with China and Ruasla. Churchill
