'SThis is not borne out by actual facts,' she said, "ncr is 1t to the interests of the United Nations al a whole to allow Japan to con. finue, not only as a vital potential fhreat but as a waiting sword oi Danocles, ready to descend at a moments notice
 Japanese military might must be 6ecimated as 9 fighting force be- fore it's threat to civilization is re- moved"
 She praised the American naval victories at Midway and in the Coral Sea, but emphasized that ~they are merely steps in the right direction" The six months battle at Guaadalcanal atests to the fact, she said, that the defeat of evil forces, though long and arduous will finally come to pass"
 But, she warned Congress:
 ''Let us not forget that Japan in her occupied areas today has great CT resources at her command than Germany.
 ':Let us not forget that the longer Japan Is left in undisputed posses sion of these resources, the stronger she must become. Each passing day takes more toll in lives of both Americans and Chinese.
 ''Let us not forget that the Japa- nese are an intransigent people.
 Let us not forget that during the first four and half years of total Aggression China has borne Japan's eadistic fury llnaided and alone"
 Lasting Peace Urged
 She told the 7sth Congress that as its predecessor had discharged its duty in 1941 by declaring war on the aggressors, the duty of the present Congress is to help win the war and uphold @ lasting peace which will justify the sacrifices and suffering of the viGtmis of aggression-to help construct 8 world in which all peo- pie may henceforth live in harmony and peace.
 The American people should be proud of their fighting men, she told Congress, but should not forget those stationed in isolated spots who have to stand the I11onotony o1 Waiting-just waiting.
 "They are among the tnsung he- roes of this war;" she said land everything possible to tighten thier tedium and buoy up their morale should be done. That sacred duty is yours"
