Let us admit| along with General Stillwell wheni‘ | he left Burma that we ‘got a hell of a beating.’ Let us admit that the | |beating was administered to us| throughout the East. Let us admit| that our victories in the Coral Sea | |and at Midway have been holding | victories, defensive in character. They merely prevented the enemy from accomplishing his purpc»:e«wI they did not accomplish a purpose which we ourselves established. ! “If we were a weak nation, if we ! were a people lacking the will and the ability to fight it might be that any admission of this char- lacter would be bad. The reverse is. true.

That time will come soon jor late, but come it will, and then lno'. only will the United States be safe from some future Pearl Harbor, but all the hundreds of millions of people of the Far East will be allowed to go their own way without the shadow of an awful threat constantly over them.” In conclusion he said: “Two weeks ago we could have told those millions of enslaved Fili- pinos to be of good cheer, that their day of deliverance was coming, in full confidence that our words were words of truth. Today we can utter those words with greater confi- |dence. The Americans armies are |on the march. They will win as |always they have won before. The |shackles will be thrown off. We shall not forget the people of the Philippines, who fought so bravely | with us during the dark hours. Nor |will we here in Alaska forget the |response of Alaska' Filipinos. They |have been -loyal and patriotic. Their - devotion ‘to the common cause has been splendid. “I- do not think I could close lwith words more appropriate than little girls with whom she will work. Shirley Davis, Winona Monroe and Marilyn Merritt also went into an intermediate troop here when they were about ten years old, Bet- ty said, and have continued with it | ever since. Mr. Nordling was a Boy Scoutmaster here years ago.
