n to Vlctory The watchword of America since its beginning has been On to Victory. Time and time again following this slogan, we have reached our goal and thereby gained Liberty, Freedom of Worship and Speech, the right to choose our leaders, the right of trial by' jury, and many other precious privileges. We have made our nation the envy of the other downtrodden people of Europe. Now again we are forced to defend these precious liberties. Again our battle cry is, On to Victory, and again we can and will succeed. Americans everywhere are giving all they can. They are offering their services, their wealth, or whatever the government may need. Without a word of complaint, we are united as never before in a common cause to stop aggression, greed for power, brutality, and cruelty. One wonders why people have ever followed leaders such as those of the totalitarian countries, why they have allowed themselves to be deceived into thinking they can be right. It can be for no other reason than they have been denied the very freedoms for which they fight. They have been told how they must worshipg they have been forbidden the right of free speech, and the right to listen to others. Radios, telegraphs, cables, have all been taken over by the government, hence lies have been spread to poison the minds of these enslaved people until they actually do not know what to believe. In our country we feel we are right. We have a real reason to believe so. We are allowed to debate on every questiong we may listen to what we please: and we have access to papers, books, or any other source of information. Our people know our cause is right. We have set out to fight. We cannot fail. When future generations look back upon the history of this time and read of these savage cruelties - the wanton destruction of houses, schools, hospitals, and churches -- they will wonder if we really were civilized. So as we again march On to Victory, we will win. We march on with a prayer on our lips - May God lead us to preserve Freedom, Liberty, and Peace. We pray for every one of the crushed and broken nations who are now suffering under The Whip of the tyrannical dictators of Europe. BETTE MATTES. .i Page Three
