Victory Certain. But Will
Be Tough, Says Roosevelt
In Pre-lnvasion Address
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWEH
WASHINGTON, June 6 (fl
in a speech which made no ref
erence to invasion but was de
livered in the certain knowledge
tnat the climactic hour Unally
had come. President Roosevelt
told the nation last night that
victory over Germany is certain
but "It will be tough and it
will be costly."
The president broadcast on
the fall of Rome at 5:30 p. m
PWT about the time United
States and allied forces were
jumping off from England, for
the. air and water push across
the channel.
Now . that the invasion . has
been . announced, he may avail
himself to the regular Tuesday
afternoon (1 p. m.) news confer
ence to say more. -
To . many listeners here It
seemed that the chief executive
was extraordinarily preoccupied
last night, that his comment on
the accomplishments in Italy
was . designed more to point
them up: as prelude to what
was to come than to extol the
victory already won. -
Having in mind that fact that
Berlin and Tokyo remain to be
taken he summed up the capture
of the Italian capital by saying
One up and two to go.
.Our victory comes at an ex
cellent, time,"-Mr. Roosevelt de
clared,' "while our allied forces
are poised for another strike at
western - Europe and -while
armies -. of other nazi soldiers
nervously. '- await our . assault.
And our gallant Russian allies
continue to make their power
felt more and more."
" To this, however, he hastened
Ib'add that' while the Germans
have, "suffered heavy .losses"
these" have not been "great
enough- to . cause collapse."
Germany has not yet been-
driven to surrender, he. said,
"Germany has not yet been
driven to the point where she

world conquest a generation
hence.
'Therefore the victory still is
some distance ahead. That dis
tance will be covered in duo
time have no fear of that. But
it will be tough and it will be
costly."
To many here his words had
the ring of a reaffirmation of
the allied intention to press the
war to a complete victory over
Germany despite the statement
of Pope Pius last week that

Meet Jim Blake,
' The way Jim Blake figures it He's not doing anylKing
worth writing up he's , no hero.' Jim switches cars
around at a big Southern Pacific terminal yard, put-:
- ting trains together and taking 'em apart. - -.
But Jim Blake's been railroading more than 30 ,
years, and he knows a lot of answers.-B.ecently when
we've had to train thousands of new railroaders,!
Jim's experience has been very valuable to us.'
, , We. depend, a lot on men like him to keep the war,
' ' trains moving : . ;. . .
Late In '41 Jim Blake was read to quit work and switch'
. onto his pension. He anil his wile had a little farm all paid
for."But when the Japs struck at Pearl Harbor, Jim talked
things' over with his wife rjid they decided on a different'
plan. "-.. ,
' - With a lot of the young men off to war, Jim figured he'd
better' stick on the job for the duration,: His railroad
and his country might he needing him.
All this explains why Jim Blake is still a railroader.
He's doing bis part to help win this war as soon as pos
sible. For Victory will bring tho young men home again
. . . and then Jim Blake can get together with his farm.
To old-timer like Jim Blake the strategic importance of
Southern Pacific's 15,000 miles of line is as plain as two
plus two makes four. We serve tho great arc of West and
"retired"
South'. From Chicago", from the Pacific Northwest and the -deep
South, Southern Pacific routes converge at West
Coast ports, bringing troops and war supplies for the war-
against Japan. '
. In addition to this heavy wettbound traffic, we mutt
move to eastern centers vast quantities of food, raw ma
terials and industrial products of the West and South.
America's wartime transportation needs are challeng
ing the best we railroaders have to give.
Our people work today with the same unbeatable spirit -that
built Southern Pacific's western link of America's ;
first transcontinental railroad. They, along with all other
American railroaders, arc doing tho greatest job in trans
portation history and they are doing it in spite of a great
shortage of manpower.
, Southern Pacific and other railroads urgently need
thousands of men and women to fill thousands of inter
esting, good-paying, essential war jobs. MK
