Montgomery Predicts
European War Will
Last Year or Longer
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Mar. 24.-The European
war may last year or longer, Gen.
Sir Bernard L. Montgomery declared
today In an address saluting the
British ground forces ne will leao
In the forthcoming invasion and
calling for full cooperation on the
home front.
I'VE are preparing to take part in
the biggest tug of war the world has
ever seen, and If any one should let
go OF the rope, then we lose the
match" said the general who won
fame as the commander of the Brit
ish 9Th Army.
How long will the pull last? No
one can say for certain. 1t may last
a year, 1t may take longer. But it
will be magnificent party and We
shall win. 1t will be a proper job
for proper men,"
Promised Land Not Far Off.
Later, in an address at the Man.
sion House in London opening
Salute-to-the-Soldier Week, Gen.
Montgomery declared emphatically
THE promised land is not so far
on now. If necessary, we have got
to hazard all and give our lives that
others may enjoy it."
AS battlecry for the nation, Gen.
Montgomery-who is the son of a
bishop-suggested Let God arise
and let his enemies be scattered"
Just returned from a tour of his
troops, Gen. Montgomery said he
found them in good trim and added
that when they go into battle he be-
neves they will prove the best army
Britain ever had.
Need for Best Possible Weapons.
Emphasizing the need for supply
Ing Allied soldiers with the best
possible arms, he declared.
"It must forever rebound to our
shame that we sent our soldiers
into this most modern war with
weapons and equipment that were
inadequate. We have only our
selves to blame for the disasters
that early overlook us in the field,
surely we must not let this happen
again. Nor will we."
One Of the chief factors of sue
cess in battle, he said. is the human
factor, but he added that there
must be mutual confidence between
commander and troops.
And the surest method of gain
ing confidence is success" he added
dryly.
Salute -the-Soldier Week is
being staged as part of campaign
designed to raise $50 ,000, 900 pounds
(about $500, 900, ,O00) in London alone
in the sale of war bonds.
