. The war has taken a turn in our favor. Recent cam

estimate the part that American-made equipment has played
in these victories.
Industry and labor have done a magnificent production

do better and better. The big operations, the decisive opera

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

world. The stakes are worth fighting for. On my trip to
