Admits Long War Ahead.
The British leader said he and
President Roosevelt did not hesi
tate to forecast a "long and hard
war" because "our people would
rather know the truth."
With the spirit which has de
veloped he said it did not matter
If it was 1942, 43 or 44. The task
ahead, he said, Is "not beyond our
strength and endurance as long
as we have faith In our own
cause."
"Mighty strokes of war already
have been dealt against the en
emy," he continued and with
mention of Russian victories, the
audience again applauded at
length. Maxim Lltvinoff, the Rus
sian ambassador, sat unsmiling.
African Mop-Up Envisaged.
For the first lime since the war
began, Churchill declared, the
British had been able to fight the
axis forces with equal weapons
In Africa.
"For the first time," he said,
"we have made the Hun feel the
sharp edge of the tools with
which ' he had subjugated Eu
rope." He noted that the axis had
about 150,000 men in Africa, one
third of them German. The Brit
ish had set out to destroy this
army, he said, adding:

the war.
Churchill cautioned.
against underestimating the "se
verity of the ordeal" which lay
ahead for both Britain and the
United States.
"The forces arrayed against
us are enormous," he declared,
adding hat they were ruthless as
well.
Assailing the "wlckede men"
who had brought these forces in
to play, Churchill said they
"know they will be called to ter
rible account if they cannot beat
down by force of aims the peo
ples they have assailed.
Because Ills mother was an
American, he said, the experience
of addressing congress was "one
of the most thrilling In my life."
Churchill said the prcseiit war
could have been averted five
years ago without shedding a
drop of blood, if this country and
England had forced Germany to
abide by her signed agreement.
With scorn the speaker refer
red in passing lo the "boastful

"crumpled already" and "Is noth

listeners laughed.

Rate Boost on Water
Borne Lumber Approved
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26 (AP)
The Interstate commerce com
mission ruled today that an in
crease of 50 cent a 1,000 feet in
rales on lumber shipments by
water between ports in Oregon
und Washington and ports in
California was "not unreasonable
or otherwise unlawful.
The increased rates became ef
fective last June 11 but the ICC
continued an investigation into
their reasonableness.
The office of Price admiuistra
ion and civilian supply opposed
he higher rates, contending they
were unreasonable and would re
sult in inflationary price levels
on lumber and would adversely
affect national defense activities.
The commission said, however,
that the Increased freight rales
represented only a relatively
small part of the delivered price
