Speaking to the largest graduating class in the history of the United States Military Academy, General Henry H. Armold, Chief of the Army Alr Porce, told the young officers that the Axis power; “could see the handwriting on the wall” in ceaseless aerial bombing by Allied planes General Arnold declared that “we are going to end it (the war) and end it soon by bombing military objectives consistently and with the maximum destructive power that we possess.” Expressing the belief that the United Nations are “now ready for a decisive year,” the General expressed the opinion that Axis morale can- not take the destructive round-the-clock hammering and that “their morale is already beginning to crack.” ¢ General Arnold says that the Germans, Italians and Japanese un derstand that our plans call for bombing to destruction their factories, their transportation and communications systems, their navy-yards and industries He warns that they are already “crying for us to stop,” using prona- ganda to “work on our sentiments” and to "weaken our all-out air of. « fort.” The Axis is trying to make us “hesitate in the creation of a power- ful air armn by protesting the grim, horrible and devastating features of aerial war.” By calling attention to our bombs “hitting and killing, wounding women and children, destroying churches, schools and other non-military objectives,” they are attempting to persuade the United . Nations to call off the aerial offensive While admitting that some bombs might miss the military objectives for which they were intended and thus injure civilians, the General declared emphatically that “we select only military objectives for our bombings and our bombers have demonstrated an sccurscy impossible to attain by any of the Axis airmen.” Referring to their pleas, he reminds the nation that the Axis pow- ers started the bombing of cities, “causing death and injury to non- combatant women and children” and called to witness Warsaw Rot terdam, London, Coventry, Plymouth, Pear] Harbor and Manila | The General thinks “we have a long, hard job ahead of us” and does not want “to arouse false hopes for an easy and early victory.” He says that Germany and Japan remain “mighty military powers and are fighting on the ground, at sea and in the air with a determination ¢ thet will require our best efforts if we are to win” There is little prospect that the Axis powers will get anywhere with their whining. They did much to make war a more ruthless business than ever before and now, because they are not dishing it out, they must learn to take it or surrender, ON GAS FOR CANDIDATES tc ——— | | Btop worrying about your car bat tery going dead because your gas ration coupons are running low, remarks the Pittsburgh Press, and intriguingly explains why | For 25 bucks and on A nominating petition, you run for a city or county political office and get the gas you need to CAITY On your campaign And what does It matter drive out Ww a ball game smusement park?
