"The union of our arms in the heart of Germany has a meaning for the world which the world will not miss. "It means, first, that the last ' faints desperate hope of Hitler and his gangster government has been extinguished. The common front and the com mon cause of the powers allied in this war against tyranny and inhumanity have been demonstrated in fact as they have long been demonstrated in determination. Nothing can . divide or weaken the common purpose of our veteran armies to pursue their victorious pur pose to its final allied triumph in Germany, : "Second, the junction of our forces at this moment signalizes to ourselves and to the world that the collaboration of our na tions in the cause of peace and freedom is an effective collabo ration which can surmount the Leiral Notices (Continued) 60 judicial day of said term, in ac cordance with Section 86-143, O.
