Victory Delayed by Nazi Assault

We have seen = year marked, on the whole, by substantial
progress toward victory. even though the year ended with a
setback for our arms, when the Germans launched a ferocious
counterattack into Luxembourg and Belgium with the obvious
objective of cutting our line in the center.
Our men have fought with Understandable and uniorgettable
galIantry under most difficult conditions, and our German
enemies have sustained considerable losses while failing to obtain
their objectVes.
The high tide Of this German effort was reached two days
after Christmas. Since then We have reassumed the offensive,
rescued the isolated garrison at Bastogne, and forced a German
withdrawal along the whole line Of the salient.
The speed with which We recovered from this savage attack
was largely possible because we have one supreme commander
in complete control of all the Allied armies in France. Gen. Elsen-
hover has faced this period of trial with admirable calm and
resolution and with steadily increasing success. He has my com
plete confidence.
Further desperate attempts may well be made to break our
lines, 10 slow our progress. We must never make the mistake OF
assuming that the Germans are beaten until the last Nad has
surrendered.
And ! would express another most serious warning against
the poisonous effects of enemy propaganda.
The wedge that the Germans attempted to drive in western
Europe was less dangerous in actual terms OF winning the war
than the wedges which they are continually attempting to drive
between ourselves and our Allies.
Every little rumor which is intended to weaken our faith in
our Allies is like an actual enemy agent IN our midst-seekinG to
sabotage our war effort. There are. here and there, evil and base
less rumors against the Russians-rumors against the British
rumors against our own American commanders in the field.

Praises Stand Made by English

We cannot forget how Britain held the line, alone, in 1910
and 1871; and at the same time, despite ferocious bombardment
from the air. built up a tremendous ornaments industry which
enabled her 20 take the offensive at Fl Aamein in 1912.
We cannot forget the heroic defense of Moscow and Lenin-
grad and Sts1ngrad, or the tremendous Russian ofensives Of
1913 and 1914 which destroyed formidable German armies.
Nor can we forget how, for more than seven long years. the
Chinese people have been sustaining the barbarOuS attacks of the
Japanese and containing large enemy forces ~ the vast areas OF
the Asatic mainland.
In the future We must never forget the lesson that we have
leaTned-that We must have friends who viii work with Us In
peace a. they have fought at our side in war.
As a result Of the combined effort Of The Allied forces, great
military victories were achieved IN 1914: The liberation Of

Pledges Stand With Allies

Pending action by the Congress on the broader aspects OF
national service, | recommend that the Congress Immediately
enact legislation which will be effective in using the services OF
the 100000 men now classified as AZ in whatever capacity is
best for the war effort.
In the field of foreign policy, we propose to stand together
with the United Nations not for the war alone but for the
victory for which the war is fought.
II is not only a common danger which untes us but a con, =
mon hope, Ours is an association not of governments but Of
peoples-and the peoples hope in peace. Here, as In England;
in England, as in Russia; in Russia, Is in China: In France, and
through the continent Of Europe, and throughout the world;
wherever men love freedom, the hope and purpose of the people
are for peace-a peace that is durable and secure.
1t will not be easy to create this peoples peace. We delude
ourselves if we believe that the surrendr of the armies Of our
enemies will make the peace we long for. The unconditional
surrender of the armies Of our enemies is the first and necessary

RooSercitS annual m,SSogc on the state a. the UaioH:
To the Congress of the United States:
In considering the state of the Union. the war and the
peace that is to follow are naturally uppermost in the minds
of all of us.
This war must be waged-it Is being WaGed=Wlth the
greatest and most persistent intensity. Everything we are
and have is al stake. Everything We are and have will be
given. American men. fighting far from home. have already
won victories which the world will never forget.
We have no question OF the ultimate victory. We have no
question of the cost. Our losses will be heavy.
We and our Allies will 60 fighting together to ultimate total
victory.

All Bear Made in Germany Tag

When you examine these rumors closely, you will observe
that every one of them bears the same rade-mark-"Made in
Germany" .
We must resist this divisive propaganda-we must destroy
it-with the same strength and the same determination that our
fighting men are displaying a. they resist AMI destroy the
panzer divisions.
In Europe, we shall resume the attack and-despte tenn
porary setbacks here or there-We shall continue the attack
reentlessly until Germany is completely defeated.
1t is appropriate at this time TO review the basic strategy
which has guided us through three years of war, and which will
lead, eventually, to total victory.
The tremendous effort of the first years of this war was
directed toward the concentration of men and supplies in the
various theaters of action at the points where they could hurt
our enemies most.
1t was an eGort-in the language of the military men-of
deployment of our forces. Many battles-essential battles
were fought; many victories-Ntal victories were won. But
these battles and these victories were fought and won to hold
back the attacking enemy, and to put us in positions from which
we and our Allies could deliver the final, decisive blows.
In the beginning, our most important military task was to
prevent our enemies-the strongest and most violently agrees
sive powers that ever have threatened civilizadon-from win
ming decisive victories.
But even while we were conducting defensive, delaying ac-
tons. we were looking forward to the time when we could wrest1
the initiative from our enemies and place our superior resources
of men and materials into direct competition with them.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1945-01-07

In the case of Japan, we had TO await the completion of eN-
tensiye preliminary neutrality-suspicious. designed to establish
secure supply lines through the japanese Outer-zOne defenses.
This called for overwhelming sea power and air powcr-sup-
ported by ground forces strategicaly employed against isolated
outpost garrisOns.
Always-from the very day we were attacked-it was right
miltarily as well as morally to reject the arguments of those
shortsighted people who would have had US throw Britain and
Russia to the Naz wolves and concentrate against the Japanese.
Such people urged that We fight a purely defensive war
against Japan while allowing the domination of all the rest Of
the world by nazism and fascsm.
In the European theatcr, the necessary bases for the mass
ing of ground and air power against Germany were already
available in Great Britain. In the Mediterranean area we could
begin ground operations against MAJOR elements of the German
army as rapidly as we could put troops in the field, first in North
Africa and then IN Italy.
Therefore, our decision was made 10 concentrate the bulk
of our ground and air forces against Germany until her utter
defeat. That decision was based on all these factors; and it was
also based on the realization that. of our two enemies, Germany
would be more able TO digest quickly her conquests, the more
able quickly TO convert the manpower and resources of her eoh-
quered territory into a war potential.
We had In Europe two active and indomitable AnieN-
Britain and the Soviet JniOn-and there were also the heroic
resistance movements in the occupied countries, constantly en-
gaging and harassing the Germans.

Available Tools Are Inadequate

We must build on the foundations that have already been
laid and supplement the measures now in operation. in order
to guarantee the production that may be necessary IN the critical
period that lies ahead.
At the present time we are using the inadequate tools at
hand to do the best we can BY such expedicnts as manpower

and women 10 shift from nonessential. TO essential war jobs.
am IN receipt of a Joint letter from the secretary Of war
and the secretary Of the navy. dated Jan. 3. 1915. which says:
with the experience of three years of war and after the
most thorough consideration. we are convinced that ii il now
necessary to carry out the statement made by the Congress in
the Joint resolutions declaring that a state of war existed
with Japan and Germany: that to Bring the conflict 10 a
successful conclusion, oil of the resources of the country |
are hereby pledged by the Congress Of the United
States
In our considered Judgment, which is supported by Gen.
Marshall and Adm. King, this requires total mobilization of
our manpOwer by the passage of a national war service law.
The armed forces need this legislation to hasten the day OF
final victory, and TO keep TO a minimum the cost in lives.
National war service. the recognition by law Of the duty
of every citizen to do his or her part in winning the war, will
give complete assurance that the need for war equipment will
be filled.
weapons and supplies on short notice. Otherwise We shall not
keep our production abreast of the swiftly changing needs of
war.
at the same time 1t will be necessary 10 draw pro-
gressiNeIy many men now engaged in war production Ia serve
with the armed forces, and their places in war production must
be flied promptly.
These developments will require the addition of hundreds
of thousands TO those already working in war industry. We do
not believe that these needs can he met effectively under
present methods.
"The record made by management and labor In war in
dustry has been a notable testimony TO the resourcefulness and
power of America. The needs are so great, nevertheless. that
in many instances we have been forced TO recall soldiers and
sailors from military duty to do work of a civilian character In
war production, because Of the urgency of the need for equip
ment and because OF inability TO recruit civilian labor"

Palace of Soviets Will Be
Worlds Largest Building

The Palace of the Soviets, Mos
cow, was planned by Marshal
Stain as great national temple
and cultural center, but, because.
of the war, no work has been done
on it for more than three years.
When completed, it will be the
highest building in the world.
The palace will contain two
great assembly halls, one to hold
$4,000, the other 5000 people, al
library and restaurant. Domi-I
mating the mighty building will
be an enormous statue, in chromi-
UNI plated steel, of Lenin, founder
of the Soviet republic. The figure
will be 1913 feet high. Including
this statue, the palace will be l.
365 feet high.
The present highest building in
the world is the Empire State
building, New York., 248 feet.

many sufferers. The NEGOTIATIONS,
not always effective, are the nearest
that science has been able to come
to a permanently successful cure.
Elimination Impossible.
If all ragweed, p~ollenized trees,
pollen grasses and pollen plants
could be eliminated throughout the
nation, complete relief would be pro-
vided. AS this is impossible and be-
cause the hay fever pollens are
carried great distances by the wind,
individual relief still proves to be
the most effective measure.
Hay fever is hereditary to some
extent, the U. S. Public Health
service reports. The Pacific North
west is the only section of the oun
try completely free of the malady.
Northern New England, parts of the
Adirondacks, southern tip of Flori-
da, and all territory from the Rock
les to the Pacific are relatively free
of the hay fever pollen. The pollen
is denser in cities, with Indianapolis
far in the lead.
Hay fever reaches its peak in the
Northwest about August 25, in the
Great Lakes states September l, in
the south central states about Sep
TENDER Is and in the far southern
states about October l.
Finely divided metallic salts of
copper, zinc and silver have recent
ly proven effective as a relief meas
ure by applying to the uco mem
branes with small cotton tampons.
Hay fever should not be neglect
ed. 1t may develop into pollen
asthma, which is even worse, and
into sinus trouble or pneumonia.

Guards Were First
Called the Cutter Service

While it was not until 1915 that the
coast guard under its present setup
was organized by congress, the serv-
ice had its birth on August T., 1870,
when it was known as the Revenue
Cutter and Life Saving service.
The second session of the first
congress authorized the coast patrol
for the enforcement of the customs
laws and as an organized armed
service for the protection of the sea-
coast. Originally ten revenue cut
tiers were provided.
Today many of the combat and
transport ships are coast guard
manned. Members of the personnel
have fought at sea and on land in all
major engagements.
