Today we Are celebrating a Brilliant Victory won by British Canadian and american fighting men in Sicily. A year ago Japan occupied several of the Aleutian islands on our Side of Ocean and made a great Todo about the invasion of the continent of America i regret to say that some americana and some canadians wished our governments to withdraw from the Atlantic and Mediterranean Campaign and divert ail our Large combined strength for removal of the japanese from a few Rocky specks in tile North Pacific.  our Wiser counsels have maintained our efforts in the Atlantic and Mediterranean on China seas and in tile Southwest Pacific with Ever growing contributions and in tile Northwest Pacific a relatively Small Campaign has been assisted by the japanese themselves in the elimination of the last japanese from Attu and Kiska. Jap Retreat satisfactory we Tiave been told mat the japs never surrender. Their headlong Retreat satisfies us just As Well. Great councils Are being held Here on tile free and honoured soil of Canada councils which look to tile future conduct of this War and the years of building a new Progress for Mankind. Through these councils canadians and americans alike again work with tile Wise and Good gentleman tile prime minister of great Britain. May i through you thank Hie people of Canada for their hospitality to Allol us. Your cause and mine Nas run so closely and affectionately during these Many Long years that this meeting adds another link to that Chain. I have always Felt at Home in Canada and you i think will always feel at Home in the United slates. During the last few Days in Quebec the combined staffs have been sitting around tables which is a Good custom talking things Over discussing ways and Means in the manner of friends in the manner of partners and May i even say in the manner of members of the same family. We have talk d constructively of our common purposes in this War of our determination to achieve Victory in the shortest possible time and of our essential cooperation with our great and Brave fighting allies and we have arrived harmoniously at certain definite conclusions. Of course i am not at Liberty to disclose just what these Conlu continued from Page let Sions Are. But Iii due tune we shall communicate tile secret i or a lion of the Quetier conference to Germany. Italy and Japan we shall communicate thus Uii Orina tion to our enemies in the Only language that to their twisted minds seem callable of understanding. Sometimes i  that that great Mast of intuition tile nazi Leader could have been present in spirit at tile Quebec . I am thoroughly glad that lie was not there in person. It he and his fellow generals had known oui plans to Ley would Nave realized that discretion was still the better part of valor and that surrender would pay them tie ter now limn later. Nazi characteristics the evil characteristics that Matte a nazi a nazi is his Utieri inability to understand and therefore to respect the qualities Ana Rig ii is of his Teltow men. His Only method of dealing with his neigh Bor is first to delude him with lies. Then to attack him treacherously then to beat him Down and step on Hun and then either to kill him or enslave him. The same tiling is True of the fanatical militarists of Japan. Because Timeir own instincts and impulses Are essentially inhuman our enemies simply cannot comprehend now it is that decent sensible individual human beings get along together and live together As neighbors that is Why air enemies Are doing their desperate Best to misinterpret the purposes and results of Titis que bes conference. They still seek to Divide and conquer allies who refuse to Brt divided just As cheerfully As they refuse to be con que de we spend oui energies and our resources and the very lives of our sons and daughters because gangsters in the Community of London.

Wellingtons pressed Home their attacks through a curtain of flak and crewmen saw 4.000-Pounders and smaller bombs burst across the steel works and marshalling Yards. At no time yesterday did the enemy Field any fighters to attempt to break Untley sgt a attacks but four Allied Craft failed to return to their base. Probably victims of ground fire. Nations failed to recognize the i Lineament als of decent human conduct. We have been forced to Call out what we in the United states we Ould Call a sheriff s posse to break up gangs in order that gangsterism May be eliminated in the Community of nations. We Are making sure absolutely and irrevocably sure that this time the lesson will be driven Home to tile Iii once and tor All. We actually Are going to be rid of outlaws tins time. Everyone it the United nations believes that a real and lasting Pieace justifies the sacrifices we Are making and our unanimity is As confident in seeking that goal.

I am everlastingly angry Only at those who assert Voiter Ousby that the four freedoms of the Atlantic charter Are nonsense because they Are unattainable if they had lived a Century and a half ago they would have sneered and said that Hie declaration of Independence was simply piffle. If they had lived nearly a thousand years ago they would have laughed uproariously at the work of the Magna Charta. We concede that the old world cannot arrive at Utopia overnight. But i would rather be a Bullier than a wrecker hoping always Itiat Hie Structure of life is grow my.
