enlisting in the Navy In September
Of 1912. He was given his pref1ight
training at the University of Geor-
giA. and was given his wings at
bloodshed twice in 3 quarter OF q
century through the Teutonic urge
for domination, will this time take
steps to put 1t beyond the power Of
Prussia or all Germany to come at
them again.
Nazi tyranny and Prussian mill
tarism are the two main elements
in German life which must be
absolutely rooted out II Europe and
the world are to be spared a third
still more frightful conflict.
Here are the two obvious, practi-
cal targets for us to fire at-Nazi
tyranny and Pfussian militarism.
Let us aim every gun, let us set
every man who will march in mo-
ton against them
The twin roots Of all Of our evils
Nazf tyranny and Prussian militar-
ism-must be extirpated. Until this
is achieved, there are no sacrifices
We viii not make, no length in vio-
lence to which we will not 60 :.
now come back to the purely
military sphere. The invasion Of
Italy In the Naples area was the
most daring amphipious operation
We have yet launched or that ever
has been launched on a similar
scale ..
But from Gulf Of Salerno we were
at the extreme range of shore based
aircraft flying from Palermo and
other conquered Sicilian fields. I'm
til We gained refueling station and
landing places our single-engined
tighter squadrons had but a quar-
ter hours activity over the battle
field area =.
We could not therefore 60 farther
north than Naples =" unless we
dispensed with the aid of land
based aircraft :.
Main Forces Fully Ashore; -.
Can Now Advance Northward.
Results show that the enemy has
been worsted., Our main forces are
fully ashore, and the 9th Army is
coming into action in suitable
places. We have recovered the initi-
ative; We are able now to advance
northward on broad front =.
Every effort has been made, both
by the utalian government, and
its forces. to comply with the armis-
tice conditions. =" There is no
doubt whatever on which side the
sympathy. hopes and efforts of the
Italian nation now lie.
In Sardinia, for instance, which
until lately was considered a major
prize in itself, four Italian divisions
have driven out the German gar
rison. American forces have now
landed in their support. The French
have landed In Corsica. q . This
is the first time the French have
been In action for the liberation OF
their home territory. '%*
All this opens to us a far-reaching
vista OF action which must also be
surveyed in relation to the condi-
tiops and temper of the people in
the satellite states of Hungary. Ru-
mania and Bulgaria, all of which is
a study in itself, all of which will
increasingly be affected by the adj
vance Of the Russian armies and by
the development of Anglo American
bombing
Second Front Already
Extsts-P0tentially.
I call this front which we opened
in Africa. next in Sicily and now in
Italy the third front. A second
front which already exists potential
ly and which Is gathering weight
has not yet been engaged. But it is
here, holding force in its front and
I am not going to hint at the mo-
ment when 1t will be engaged. But
the second front exists and is
main preoccupation already with
the enemy.
On the day when we and our
American Allies judge to be the
right time this front also will be
thrown into play and the
mass invasion of the Continent from
the west in combination with the
invasion from the south will be-
gin.
The House may be absolutely GER
tain that the present government
will never be SWayed or overborne
by any uninstructed agitation, how
ever natural, or pressure, however
we'll meant, In matters of this kind.
1t will not be forced or cajoled into
undertaking vast operations against
our better Judgment in order to gain
political unanimity or a cheer from
any quarter.
The bloodiest portion-make no
mistake about 1.-THE bloodiest por-
ton of this war for Great Britain
and the United States lies ahead of
US, Neither the House nor his maj
eSty'S government will shrink from
that ordeal.
Important Arrangements
Made at Quebec Farley.
*'' I am glad to say that several
important arrangements have been
made at Quebec and in consultation
with the war cabinet here for closer
correlation of policy and action be-
tween the Soviet Union, Britain and
the United States. -
In August Marshal Stain
expressed a wish to have an inter-
allied commission set up in the
Mediterranean. -" We were very
glad to find this friendly interest
taken in our Mediterranean opera
tions by our Russian Allies ""'
Arrangements have also been
made, as already has been stated,
for tripartite conference between
the foreign secretaries of the three
countries or their representatives.
-"
This conference will take place at
an early date and no question will
