The war has taken a turn in our favor. Recent cam paigns have been successful. It would be impossible to over estimate the part that American-made equipment has played in these victories. Industry and labor have done a magnificent production job in this war. I know of no parallel to it. But we must do better and better. The big operations, the decisive opera tions, lie ahead. This is no time for patting ourselves on the back. The job ahead is too hard for that. We shall all carry a heavy burden during the coming twelve months. It will be a costly year, costly in blood and men. but it is a year that will determine the future of the world. The stakes are worth fighting for. On my trip to the Pacific I saw many things. I saw the lonely graves in the jungle. I saw the wounded and sick in the hospitals. I saw thousands of brave American and Australian soldiers winning under the hardest conditions. We have pledged those men and the men fighting on other fronts I he full resources of the nation to support them. We must not fail I ME ETING WITH NEW 1944 OFFICERS IS C iii-i!
