Himalayan truck road which he

force Of welI-trained Chinese

trained American soldiers under
Gen. Merrill has pushed 200
miles through mountains and
forests from Assam and at

paratroopers south of Myitkyina.

WINSTON CHURCHILL in
w his speech last Sunday said
many things that were not only
for home consumption but that
indicate that he, too, faces a
political battle.
He dashed out at his oppo-
nents; yet we. in this country,
have read little in the news
papers and heard less on the
radio of this opposition and we
do not know what il portends.
II the news from England TO
the United States is so CEN
sored that Americans cannot
follow the course of British
politics. although our prospects
are so tied TO that country. il
is TO be hoped that the British
people get a glimpse of the
truth of what is going on here.
In all that speech, no SEN
fences are more obscure, more
pulling, and in certain sense
more frightening than these:
This is my difficulty. I can
not undertake anything that
will hinder the war and no one,
except the very clever ones,
will tell when the war will end
or whether II will end suddenly
or peter out"
DUT it has not been "the very
- clever ones" alone who have
said that the war must not
peter out. It was Franklin D.
Roosevelt and Winston Church
i'll who, at Casablanca, estab-
lished the doctrine of uncon-
ditional surrender, Of a fight TO
a finish. Churchill does not use
the English language lightly.
Neither his stvle nor his taste
would permit him to employ the
wrong word in the wrong place.
1t is possible for an-Ameri-
can statesman 10 i've his ora
tory, but Churchill speaks in
the grand manner of another
era when men took pride in the
precision of their diction. The
verb. peter out" then has
significance and a value which,
coming from Churchill, cannot
be ignored
The intransitive verb, TO
peter. means Ito become ex-
hausted; 10 run out; 10 fail; to
come 10 nothing;-used gener-
ally with out; as, that mine has
petered out; his influence has
petered out" (Webster's die
tionary.)
Surely. IL is impossible for US
to believe in the possibility Of
this war petering out not

Churchill meant. II is UP to
