The Link
That ISN'T
Missing
Q "DACK when Kaiser Wilhelm
D was the fdlow with the big
notions, this nation had 326,
000 trucks and roughly one
mile of surfaced highway for
each of them. We Americans
lived on a Burma Road of our
own and it was just one jump
ahead of the ox-cart.
Today we still live on our
Burma Road. It's as much a
lifesavcr as China's. Only it's
so long, so broad, so universal
that every farm, every mine,
every factory fronts upon it
Fire million trucks roll right
to their doors. That's why
America can out-produce the
Axis.
Percentage-loving statisticians
figure that motor transport ban.
dies 54 per cent of this, 63 per
O cent of that. It's nearer the
truth to say that somewhere,
sometime, somehow every
thing is handled by truck. Even
ships! Even factory smoke! Be
tween raw resource and deliv
ered necessity, motor transport
is a never-missing link.
Our new Burma Road system
lias been completed in that pin
point of time the 22 years
since the last war. Standard has
watched this development from
close in. Our hat is oS to the
men who have done it ... to
their vision, their pioneer spirit.
They've given Hitler an impos
sible task. Alexander, . Caesar
Napoleon, himself, couldn't
lick an army of five million

ter bitter though scattered pro
tests from the floor that the
measure was an "insult to Amer
ican manhood;" that it would
subject women to the menace
of bombs and gas and to the
possible ignominy of court mar
tial. Record Cited
Retorting to this opposition,
Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers (R.,
Mass.), author of the bill, cited
the records of American wo
manhood's past heroism, from
the colonial days "when they
defended their homes with guns
from Indian attacks" to their
sacrifices in world war one.
"They are Just as anxious,
just as willing. Just as able to
serve and sacrifice for their
country today," she said.
The measure came into the
house with the blessings of the
war department because such a
corps would release thousands
of soldiers for combat duty by
turning their chores over to wo
men Just as able to handle
them.
