DEMOCRACY WILL WIN."
rvEMOCRACY will win because
The United States of Amer
ica is proving that fact to the
world day after day.
-
TTOLD this thought:
tatorships have been decisively
defeated in battle by the MORE
EFFICIENT DEMOCRACIES, a
lesson of tremendous importance
to the whole future of the world
will have been written into the
pages of history.
The peace of the world has
been seldom destroyed by gen
uine democracies. It has been
OFTEN DESTROYED ' by am
bitious dictators.
If it can be clearly demon
strated that the POWERFUL
democracies, whose influence is
always on the side of peace, can
and WILL crush the would-be
conquerors who UPSET the
peace of the world, there may
be hope of peace in the future.
TTQLD this other thought:
QUERABLY STRONG can the
democracies guard the future
peace of the world.
Whatever happens, let s not re
vert to pacifism and flabbiness
after this war is over.

Monday night and gave the posi

the warship brought them here

Chance was the only fatality
among the 60 officers and men
of the big cargo carrier, first
victim of an enemy torpedo in
the north Pacific.
But getting back to the
heroes
"I'll never forget Henry," said
Captain Havens. "Henry has
been eating aspirin tablets like
candy, so when they got squared
around In the boat, Mr. Nystrom
said, 'Henry, I'm sorry you lost
all your aspirins,' and Henry ex
claimed, "Oh, I've got another
p-p-plll."
Nystrom said the lifeboat crew
nearly died laughing.
And he recalled how, Just
when everything was rather
bleak Sunday night, Henry and
Willie engaged in an argument
over the bilge pump Willie was
operating and that it really put
new strength in the tiring arms
of the oarsmen.
And then there was Morris R.
Nnhmod of the armed guard,
who took a lot of consolatory
ribbing because he was asleep
when the torpedo struck and es
caped in only bis shorts and a
slicker.
In great quantities, up to two
tons per acre."
While not discounting the pos
sible value ot such sources as a
long-term . proposition. Norrls
and many other midwestern sen
ators have expressed the convic
tion that the surest and quickest
method would be to utilize sur
plus grain for the manufacture
of alcohol, building the distiller

On the English channel front,
bad weather kept the RAF's

Germany grounded for the third

Meanwhile, authoritative re
