TO TIE EDITOR:

q
I'M just one of thousands and
L thousands of fellows out here
in this Pacific war, but all our
opinions on the strikes in De-
troit are the same.
If any of you people back
there think this war is over,
then you had better tell 1t 10
the Japs. As yet they don't
know il. Their shells are still
whistling over our heads. their
planes are stih in the skies and
their bombs are still falling on
American men.
How can any Of you feel
right about it. no matter what
excuse you may give yourself?
I'll bet that there isn't a man
striking who would trade places
with any one of us.
I'm not kicking about fight
ing. or / don't want sympathy,
but / do want 10 get back home
like millions of others do, and
lead normal. peaceful life
again AS soon as possible.
You people back there have a
lot 10 do with how soon we get
hack. We will see TO IL that the
bombs don't fall on your front
yard, 50 how about helping TO
get US back home?

Americas War

seen the American flag hauled down
by an insolent foe.
1t was the region in which, by all
of our American traditions, we
should have expended from the out
set our hardest efforts and delivered
our earliest and most paralyEing
blows.
In sum, the Pacific war was
AMERICAS WAR in it's inception
but we were slow indeed to start
fighting it as such.
Higher "strategy'-which there
is no need to criticize now-put
Europe's war ahead of our own.
Fortunately, because of the skill
of our generals, the valor of our
troops and the productive genius of
our industries, the European war is
being won.
In fact, it is no longer Europe's
war, for we have made it our war.
Proof of that lies in the over
whelming fact that the Red armies
could not have redeemed Soviet
RusSia's conquered provinces and
marched across the borders of the
Reich without our materiel, and that
there could have been no successful
invasion of France without America
in the vanguard.
In the sense that we have allies IN
Europe, MacArthur's army is one
without allies.
The Pacific war thus remains
what it was-AMERICA'S WAR.
It is still the war that America
must win alone, and we must win not
merely for the sake of our pride and
for our own security, but even more
FOR THE PRESERVATION OF
WESTERN CIVILIZATION
The Pacific war may be the most
crucial in human annals.

It may be that we cannot make
up that difference in two days but
that we shall attain our quota, even

Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-11-10
Now tn Fill the Chest

We believe rather that Detroiters,
in common with all other Americans,
have been too preoccupied with the
national election to think as promptly
as they usually do about discharging
their War Chest obligation.
We believe, as matter of fact, it
was a majo blunder in the first place
to date this years drive to coincide
with the final two weeks of presi-
Dental election campaign.
But now the election is over.
Now we can dig in and shove the
War Chest quota over.
We must and will do it in style
to preserve the reputation of our
city for charity and good works.
