trenched and desperately defended Notifications
in the history of human warfare.
Some of them are flying in the freezing skies
over Germany.
Some of them are smuggling through the mud
and snow of the bloody Italian front.
Some of them are on Leyte, and Palau and

Some of them are aboard the bomb and she'll
pocked and fame-seared carriers and battleships
and cruisers and destroyers of the Pacific Fleet
Some of them are cramped in the murky in
teriors of submarines
Some of them are still fighting the LOSING
battle of China, Burma and India.
These are our fighting men.
Some of them will never see America again
But if ever it should be said that some of
those who do not come back MIGHT have come
back if weapons, munitions, food, clothing and
medical supplies had arrived sooner and if the
American people had given their money more
freely, how can we ever say we KEPT FAITH
with them?
That is the thought that should be in the
mind of every American during the Sixth War
Loan drive
THE personal problem OF each of us is not how
much he can put into war bonds without incon-
venence or deprival or sacrifice not how much he
can afford, not how much will satisfy solicitor
or impress neighbor, but how much he must give
to have the right to hold up his head when the
boys who are FIGHTING the war come home.
Let us MAKE GOOD with these American
boys, as Gen. Eisenhower urges, by giving them
what they need to fight and win and LIVE.

THE treasury department has set goal of four
L teen billion dollars in the Sixth War Loan cam
paign hoping that at least five billion dollars will
represent individual purchases.
1t should not be necessary and the nations
record in the five previous loan drives proves
it is NOT necessary, to "sell" the American people
on the purposes of such campaign.
The people have not shirked any of their pa
triotic obligations in this war, and instead have
gone magnifcently BEYOND their obligations as
vidual earning power and family resources
The American people have given their sons,
brothers, husbands and other loved ones to
the war.
They have given their productive skills and
energies to the war.
They have not held back their dollars
Every war loan drive has been oversubscribed.
THE pay roll deduction system of war bond pur-
chases has been widely accepted and consist
emily maintained
But lust in case any of us SHOULD need
reminder of the purposes of the Sixth War Loan
drive nothing serves that end better than the ad-
monition of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower Allied
supreme commander in the European theater
of war.
"The fighting man still faces a grim task"
said Gen. Eisenhower IN his message to the people
Of the United States at the opening of the drive,
"and he still urgently needs much food clothing
and battle equipment.
"The money must be raised and our men on
all the fronts DEPEND ON YOU"
Nothing else needs to be said
What else COULD be said?
THE fighting men of whom Gen. Eisenhower
i speaks are the American youngsters we all
knew such very short time ago as the children

CHUNGKING, Nov. 20
UP)-Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek removed six of his
top-ranking cabinet members
from office today, including
the war and finance ministers,
in a governmental shakeup
apparently aimed at silencing
criticism of his regime.
(Chinese government censors
prohibited amplification of the
reasons behind the reorganiza-
ton, permitting correspondents
to say only that ii was under
taken to meet the objections Of
the peoples political council,
which is headed by Chang.
(The shakeup, however, ap-
peared to stem directly from
u. S. Gen. Stilwell's recall
from China last month, follow
ing a disagreement with Chang
on the prosecution of the war;
Major victim of the wholesale
cabinet purge" was Gen. Ho
Ying Chin, who was ousted as
minister of war. Ho, whose direc-
ton of China's armies long has
been the butt of criticism from
the peoples political council as
well as American quarters, re-
tanned his post as chief of staff
of the army, however.
His war ministry was taken
over by Gen. Chan Cheng. former
commander of the first war zone
and for years a confidential adj
wiser to Chang. He is regarded
here as one of China's strong
men"
