Victory Belongs To Aggressor—
Carry Battle To The Enemy
The great lesson of World War II is this: victory belongs to the
aggressor—to the nation which carries the battle to the enemy. Hitler
and his Axis mates have consistently followed that principle. They have
not hesitated to take the greatest risks if the possible gam was worth
the gamble. Theirs is the most daring plan of warfare in the history
of armed conflict. « ,
The grave losses which the United Nations have taken may be
laid in part, to the once commonly held belief that it would be possible
to fight a defensive war and still win. France pinned her faith on the
Maginot Line which her military leaders said was impregnable—and
today she is a beaten, starving, slave nation. England at first thought
she could bring Hitler to his knees through the use of that classic
weapon, the blockade—and today Hitler is master of all Europe, and
.exploiter of all its resources. At the beginning, Russia too placed her
hopes on defensive positions, such as the so-called “Stalin Line, ’ and saw
them destroyed by the invader, almost as if they were made of paper.
Not until the fine Russian troops took the offensive was the legend of
Nazi invincibility shattered. The last example—and one of the most

tragic examples—of the fallacy of defensive warfare is found in the
fall of Singapore, the greatest naval base ever built in the world. The
English believed the Maylayan jungles would make land attack on
this bastion impossible. The Japs proved otherwise.
Here in our own country, most of us have been “defense minded"
instead of "war minded.” The great natural barrier provided by our
oceans has been our solace. We took pride in our latent power, and
thought that no nation, least of all Japan, would dare attack us. And
so, at last, decades of defensive, wishful thinking—decades of inaction,
decades of avoiding unpleasant truths—have resulted in the grim series
of debacles to which we and our Allies have been subjected.
We arc changing our views fast now. In military circles, and to a
lesser extent in the public mind, the fact that defensive war is losing
war is being fully accepted and realized. The blueprints are being made
for taking the battle to the foe once our potentially limitless power in
men and weapons can be organized. It is significant that our airplane-
building program calls for a relatively small proportion of pursuit
planes, which are primarily instruments of defense, and for a high
proportion of long-range bombers and dive bombers, which are entirely
instruments of offense.
It may be another year before the United Nations are in a position
to wage offensive war on a big scale. But no one can now logically doubt
that we must wage that kind of war if we are to win. The Axis has
effectively demolished all past concepts of the potency of defensive
warfare.
Hero’s another poem by Mrs. Ben
Thornton, Route 1, Bay City:
When Uncle Sam’s guns and
men start marching in—along old
Hitler’s bay,
I’m sure he will find that he was
lying when he boasted that way.
As he went on to say—in a pig-
gish way—some day he’d rule the
world and he doesn’t think of our
boats he’s sank that he will have
to pay.
And those squint-eyed Japs we’ll
bottle and cap—get back old Singa-
pore ;
Our islands and men, rubber and
tin, peace will abide once more.
We are soldiers time of the red,
white, and blue; hurrah for the U.
S. A.;
At the front we’ll be found in
the air and on the ground ’til vic-
tory comes our way.
Early we will rise with a gleam
in our eyes; cut down on our sugar,
too;
Other things that we like will
east aside; Uncle Sammy, it’s all
for you!
With defense bonds and stamps,
we’ll hoard up and clamp;
Knock old Hitler off the globe;
along by his side the Japs will
abide;
Where they’ll go, well, I guess
you’ll know.

America At War: Human Power
And Bond Power Are Big Helps
America at war means that it’s your war and my war, and our boys
arc marching and flying and sailing . . . fighting it. The armed sei-
vices, war industries and civilian defense organizations must have your
help and active support to successfully accomplish the herculean task.
Arms, munitions, and equipment must be manufactured . . . supply
lines safeguarded . . . manpower, both military and civilian, trained.
These are needs of utmost urgency; they require money in astronomical
amounts, which can be raised only by federal taxation and the sale
of Defense Bonds and Stamps.
General MaeArthur’s heroic army is comprised of individuals whose
strength for valorous accomplishments lies in their unity of purpose—
and the grim determination of every man to perform his duty, today—
tomorrow and every day until VICTORY is earned.
Dollars from the sale of every bond and every stamp are needed
for victory. Every minute of every hour brings us nearer to victory
or to a bitter realization of the perils of unpreparedness. Invest your
hours in authorized civilian defense activity.
Dependable human power and bond and stamp power combine to
speed victory on the production line ... the highway to victory over
our enemies.
