The second great wnr enters the mu! month of March amid a. fury of conflicting expressions from Allied spokesmen on how it should b0 fought—whlch would bode no good for unity of action but for one cir- cumstance.

All such discussions, whether by British, Netherlands. Russian, Aus- tralian or Chinese dcbaten of strategy, agree that, the weapons to schievc ultimate victory over the Axls can be forged. only in the Amer- ican use ‘ of democracy.
