Xo one tiling will win the war. Wars are wmi by Kupprionirf'iiuiziiiK ability, superior resources, kiijum ioi iiian ami woman power. The United States will win the war beeause it has this superiority in everything that is essential to war making, and above all, we have the eonr nm and the determination to o through. The North won over he Smith in the same way that we will win over (iermanv, by slowly but surely battering' down her strength, by 'exhausting her resourees, by destroying her soldiers, the United States generals will follow the taeties of (ieenral Grant who knew how to pound away patiently on lines that were destined to win. We will first map out our war program on right lines.
