A PPARENTI.Y the President misplaced his
~ faith and we are fighting the war for the
benefit of alien nations and not for America.
Obviously Mr.. Churchill no longer intends to
send ALL FORCES against the Japanese.

morning after" victory.
Partial rehabilitation after the defeat
of Hitler could only mean one thing-a very
PARTIAL effort against the Japanese.
Since it has been made so clear to the Ameri-
can people that they must rely upon themselves
to defeat Japan, WHY ARE THEY COMPELLED
TO POSTPONE THE ISSUE?
