Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1943-12-09

MOT SINCE the hectic days
~ just prior to September,
1889, and the few days follow
ing Pearl Harbor had the peo-
pie of the United States been
more on edge for information
of any event than they were for
news of the conference of the
big three at Teheran. And his
tory will record this meeting OF
President Roosevelt, Prime Min
lister Churchill and Premier
Stain as one
mo Power Of the present
On Earth wars outstand-
Can Prevent ing events. Be-
cause of the
many questions involved it could
not be expected that all phases
of United Nations cooperation
would be agreed upon. Some
of the questions were in urgent
need of understanding md
agreement while others we're
Just as much "tabooed" for pres
emit decision. And there is just
as much in the unknown" re-
suit of the meeting as there is
in the published text. The great
est part Of the entire procedure
was the fact that the big three
did finally get together and dad
finally agree on the combined
1Uar-makisug capacities of the
United Nations. In the meeting
there is much for A BILLION
PEOPLE to be thankful for.
In the published facts regard
ing the meeting one of the
omitted features is that there is
no reference to the Casablanca
Declaration of Unconditional
Surrender" Rather is the
Teheran Declaration charged
with INT for Hitler. 1t fairly
bristles with dire warning to
the Nazi war makers while at
the same time invites any Ger
man or group of Germans inter-
ested in a democratic form Of
government to accept the pres
ent as the proper time to rid
Germany of the Nazi clique and
thereby save the death and de-
struction sure to be visited on
that unhappy country.
Such statements as 1--WE have
concerted our plans for the de-
struction Of the German forces.
, We have reached complete agree
ment as to the
-. Our scope and tim
Destroying ing of opera
the Germans tons which will
be undertaken
from the East, West and South"
cannot help but have a shat
tering effect on the already
nervous tension of the people Of
Germany.
No power on earth can pre-
cent oar destroying the Ger
man armies by land, their
U-boats By sea and their
a0ar plants from the air. This
in the declaration which spread
CONSERVATION and fear through
out the Nazi-controlled world. If
any particular part of the pub
hshed text gives promise Of an
early collapse of German morale
this is the part. Unless Hitler,
Goebbels, Goering, ct al are be-
reft of all sound reasoning this
is the sentence which must send
fearful chills up their spines.
For they know that in that
declaration there is no idle
hreat such as the dire conse-
Fences they pictured to the peo-
Of Britain in 1910. They
w full well that the might
americas will to fight and
ller supreme ability to produce
whatever is necessary to carry
out the declaration is pledged
to that end. They have seen
what was near victory for them
vanish to the point where there
remains no vestige Of chance for
them. They encouraged japan
! to strike at America because we
were too divided to offer real
Instance. They have seen our
ty to absorb one of history's
devastating blows 1.-THE de-
