= l endeavored to outline some
of the impelling developments
which served to give sound rea-
soning to the possibility of an
early German collapse. Not all
of this was wishful thinking and
yet none of it was based on the
type of reasoning which is SAT-
est for all of us in the long run.
In other words
Sometime it is right and
in 1944'- proper that a
Churchill sad d e n e d and
burdened people
should be allowed all the occa-
sion possible to see ray of
light and hope.
On the extremely practical
side the general planning of our
board of strategy (which con-
sists finally in the decisions of
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill) leans toward
the opinion that sometime in
1914 the Hitler regime will meet
the inglorious end to which it
is doomed. This was forcefully
expressed by Mr.. Churchill in
his speech in London on Tuesday
Of this week. On the side of
hopefulness he said, "I regard
this hour as at once more hope
full and stirring than any
through which we have passed.
It is a reasonable assumption
that unless we make some grave
mistake in strategy, the year
1914 viii see the climax Of the
European war;"
Regarding the recent wave
Of hope that the war was near
ing its climax in Europe the
Prime Minister said "I hope, in
deed, that they may prove right.
For certainly every month this
devastating struggle continues
carries human society into deep
er depths, more toll and length
Ae2cd burden Of recovery"
Gathering, as we go along,
every sign of hope it is well to
adopt the practical attitude of a
long time war and up to the final
hour of victory give every ounce
of energy to the wars prosecu-
tion in order to insure an
earlier peace.
There is a passage in the
Churchill speech which has an
especial interest to our people.
It is the reference to Japan. For
the very desirable purpose of in
creasipg the goodwill between
England and America reference
to the war in the Pacific by the
British Prime Minister is i'm
mensely important In this ref
erence Mr.. Churchill said "
under the inspiring leadership
Of General Macarthur many
brilliant actions have been re-
corded and the strength of japan
has been steadily and remorse-
lessly worn down."
It is in the japanese theatre
sat we are especially interested.
The end of the
strength European con-
Of Japan fiict is recog-

Conquering Of
the little yellow men is another
!. problem. The Pacific war is diff
efent in many respects. We
Re not fighting normal, civilized
man beings. Rather we are
mortal combat with a nation
whose leaders are only semi
Nilized - whose soldiers are
INT only on death and whose
ricks are more the cunning of
I beasts than of trained men.
