It looks like we will be th same goat we were in the last war, while Eng land will write another history of how she and the best retreating army in modern history won this one. We had men on Wake Island; 9re have men on Luzon Island, and both have added to the glorier of American history; but it looks now that they were so much cannon louder. Mr. Knox soys our main objective is to knock out Hitler. The Chinese say what is the use of their fighting on if they are to be left in the cold. They have only been fighting the Japs for four years and doing a splendid job, but now will America leave them in the cold? Singapore was supposed to be the most fortified place in the Far East but the British have retreated daily before the Japs, and now American aid will have to save it if it is saved. For two years we have sent mat erials to the Allies that have saved England and given her new life in Africa. The Russians are doing a grand job of sending Hitler and his gang back to Germany without any clothes or any prestige with the home people. We have on Luzon Island as brave a bunch of men as ever followed Old Glory and we are doing nothing to help them. Gen. McArthur and his men are grimly holding a small edge on the northern end of the island. They are not squawking, but why can’t some of all that mountain of material, some of that fighting aid, some of that air force we are rush ing to the defense of the world’s nest retreating army go where there are men who fight and let the other fel low run? We must have a unified group of leaders with one man in command and I have sense enough to know it takes time to get thousands of miles; also the way must be cleared to open an offensive, but if we have had time to help everybody else, then we have had time to help ourselves at least a little. I am in favor of giving everything humanly possible to win this war, and hope to see Hitler and his gang era dicated from this earth, but I still say let’s give to our own men before we find ourselves like we were on Dec. 6, when the Japs caught us with out any defense worth the name ex cept the guts our AMERICAN boys showed a t Wake and the Philippines.
