C., Thursday, December 18,1941 Number 51 will not want war again. I have sin> cerely hoped that we could a^^id war both in the Atlantic and the Pa cific. War seldom, if ever, settles anything and it is Inconceivable to me that the Japanese government would be foolish enough to want war with this country. Everyone, regardless of party af filiations, must back up the adminis tration to the end that we win. This applies to labor, capital and all other classes. “The only thing now is to do our best to lick hell out of them.” Herbert Hoover said, on that same fateful Sunday afternoon: “American soil has been treacherously attacked by Japan. Our decision is clear. It is forced upon us. We must fight with everything we have.” We quote these men because they were unalterably opposed to war un til the attack by Japan, which indi cates the unity, we can now expect from all groups in giving full co operation to the war effort. All of Washington is amazed at the efficient handling of the war program here, indicating that for months the administration has bem ready at an instant’s notice to get our military and production machine into full op eration. Production will imdoubtedly be doubled or tripled almost imme diately ai^ ,labor has pledged itself not to let anything interfere with maximum production. On the same day as the Japanese attack, announcement was made that John L. Lewis was given the closed shop in the captive coal mines, bpt that announcement, which the wefek before would have been headline news and have caused wide resent ment throughout the nation, was passed over as being of no compara tive importance. Now Jabor and cap ital will work together as never be fore and the aim of all groups will no longer be to get more for them selves but to produce more for our nation/ There is no question here but that the war will call for greater and greater sacrifice on the part of every American citizen—but there is also no question that every American is now eager to do everything within his power, no matter what the sacri fice, to see that the democracies win this war in the shortest possible time.
