On the home front, the Pres
ident said that on his African
journey he had told American
soldiers and sailors who had ex-
pressed concern over reports Of
| a Dor troubles and rationing
complaints at home that most OF
these reports were Just gross
exaggerations" and that the peo-
pie as a whole were only too
willing to give up shoes and SUI
gar, and coffee and automobile
riding-and privileges and pro-
fits - for the sake of the COM
mon cause.
He said he told them. how
ever, there were a few chiselers,
few politicians, and a few pub
licists - fortunately very few
- who had placed personal am
bition or greed above the ma
tons interests.
Describing the struggle for
Tunisia as one of the major
battles of the war" he said that
while the Axis had maintained
its supply lines at great cost
Hitler had been willing to pay
that cost for he knows the con-
sequences of Allies victory in
Tunisia."
IT h ose consequences" he
said, "are actual invasions of
The continent Of Europe. We do
not disguise our intention to
make these invasions. The pres
sure on Germany and italy will
be constant and unrelenting. The
amazing Russian armies in the
east have been delivering over
towering blows; we must do
likewise in the west.
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"
AS for the Pacific zone, the
President spoke of the recently
concluded battle in the Solo
mons and declared:
I'VE do not expect TO spend
the time it would take to bring
Japan to final defeat merely by
inching our way forward from
island to island across the vast
cXranse of the Pacific He con-
tinued:
Great and decisive actions
against the Japanese Will be ia
ken to drive the invader from
the soil of China. Important ac-
tons will be taken in the skies
over China - and over Japan
itself.
The discussions at Casablan-
ca have been continued in
Chungking with the Generals

have resulted in definite plans
for offensive operations.
ROADS TO TOKYO

lead right to Tokyo. We shall

SACRAMENTO, April Cup
Plans for a vast postwar highway
construction program, to employ

MERE ARMISTICE

They viewed the ending the war
merely as an armistice proposed by
the American President under adj
vantageous conditions" he said.
They felt they simply accepted an
offer and voluntarily quit, for the
time being. There was nothing sub
rosa about this belief on the part
CT the nation as a whole"
Asked how he was able to get
such an extraordinary frank and
accurate report of the situation in
side Germany past the German
censors, Taylor smiled and said he
had General George H. Her1ies of
the American military mission in
Berlin to thank for that
General Herries sent my piece
out by the diplomatic pouch to Par
IS" Taylor explained.

NOT DEFEATED

We have not been defeated
militarily. Hunger and the revolu-
ton forced us to quit. We accepted
President Wilson's fourteen points
and demobilized voluntarily, ac-
cording to the provisions of the
Arnistice.'
mo German making the first
pretense at frankness will attempt
to create the impression that the
disastrous result of 19l4-1913 have
created any deep-seated aversion to
militariSm among the German
people. Men and women, both in
and out of government circles, talk
very casually of another war of
revenge against France if Alsace-
Lorraine is taken from Germany.
They refer to this possibility as
though it ought to be accepted by
everyone as a logical matter Of
feet"
When a clipping of his column
length dispatch of "a years ago was
called to his attention, Taylor said
today that he was only reporting
the outspoken opinion in Germany
of her military. industrial and
political leaders.

Mexican Official
Protests Measure
Continued from Page L

NOOIllllutu lIOlIl rage -
like charity, should begin at home
Copies of the letter of protest were
sent TO national and state officials
on both sides of the international
border and to government officials
in Washington, D. c. and Mexico
City.
HERE'S LETTER
The letter follows:
Il have read in one of the Impe-
rial Valley newspapers that your
office is preparing, at the request
CT Q civic group, bill to be intro
duced in the state legislature, which
if approved, will make legal for pro-
baton officers to prevent unaccom-
panied minors from going into the
Republic of Mexico.
THE application of this measure,
it is thought, will diminish juvenile
delinquency in the State of Califor-
MIA.
While I sympathize with any
movement which tends to improve
the social conditions existing at the
present time among the members
of the younger generation which is
constituting a very serious problem,
the proposed bill barring California
minors from crossing into Mexico
is in itself an insult to a friendly
nation. I do not believe that a leg
islatiVe body would pass such a bill,
which would give the impression
that conditions in my country are
such. that they will further tarnish
the morals Of the California youth.
OTHER PLACES
1t is true that there are places
in our border towns which are high
" patronized by your boys and
girls, but you find the same kind
OF esta blishments all over the state
of California.
Al this time I shall not discuss
the causes of the increasing juven-
lie delinquency, nor shall ! discuss
the preventive measures that should
be taken TO counteract the effects
of such problem, but I think that
a bill barring unaccompanied min
ors from crossing into Mexico would
not solve the problem and such a
measure would not only be trivial,
but it appears TO be a tendency in
the mind Of the authors of such
a bill, to diScredit my nation and
to hurt the feelings Of my people.
