secretary of war lias predicted a
Ion", hard war’ in the Pacific, and
other high military officials have
made it plain that they expect the
Japanese to last at least through
1945, and perhaps longer.
“With this long, hitter struggle
ahead of us, we must do every-
thing in our powr to hack up om
men on the firing line!
Judge Powlel also caled attention
to the fact that even the end of the
war with. Germany would not auto-
matically free all Americans being
held in European prisoner-of-war
camps.
“Our men in enemy camps may
not lie freed for months after the
peace is signed,” he declared.
Experience in the last war show-
ed us that exchange of prisoners
often extends over a long period.
And during that period, we cer-
tainly must continue the full ser-
