No more strikes, no more squabbling, less red tape, greater interest, more patriotism, more energy, greater willingness to sacri fice, intensified devotion and many other elements of unity have resulted from America’s entrance into a shooting war. • To alleviate disappointment, our people should understand that Japan is a formi dable foe not to be defeated in a few days. Japan is no pushover in this war. It wil take time and much effort but Japan will be most certainly and conclusively defeat ed. Because, the attack by Japan was treacherous, our armed forces suffered heavy losses in initial engagements. But that is like one military spokesman said: “It is easy to score a couple of tofth- downs before the game begins.” We would like to express our confidence by repeating words of Prerident Roosevelt to congress Monday: “With confidence in our armed forces—with the unbounding determination of our people—we will gain War And Unity Inventwyof TramiHHfatkffi^ MeamUnderivay NVrth Carolina’s truck and bos owners were org^d today Com missioner of Motor Vehicles T.

As this is written Japan is our major I foe but by the time it goes into print Ger- I many and Italy may be in this shooting war against us. It is to be expected that many lives will be lost. Such is the course of war. We know our cause is right; that we are on the side of liberty, freedom, opportuni ty and progress of civilization. In this war we clearly represent right against wrong. We-are fighting for existence of our way of life. That is the issue. The fight was thrust upon us even while we were turning a willing ear to pleas for preservation of peace. The true spirit of America is exemplifi ed in the words of a citizen of our own country whose son was the first casualty from Wilkes in armed defense forces. Wm. L. Church, of Purlear, talking here about the death of his son. Theodore, in a bomber crash in California two weeks ago, said: “My greatest regret is that I am not young enough and strong enough to take his place.” He glorified in the fact that his son’s life was given in the defense of his coun try- That is the kind of patriotism which made America and will protect it against any foe or combination of foes.

C. 1 j Borrowed Comment UNITED NATION MARCHES TO VICTORY War i.s terrible. American people have never sought war but no people on earth have a better record in war. We are now beginning a “shooting war” which was thrust upon us. Japan attacked without warning and without provocation. On Monday when congress declared war and the president signed the joint resolu tion war had already begun. In fact, war had been in progress for 24 hours. The war did not start with the declaration. The declaration merely put the stamp of con stitution government on the conflict. A vote against the declaration of war would bave been the same as a vote to sur render to the Japs. For more than a year America I ad been half in and half out of war. Our resources were being used to help democracies in war but because we were not a part of the combat parties we were not solidly united in any purpose. Japan changed all that. Japan was the cause of America becoming solidly united in a war effort which can mean nothing but defeat for Japan and the other mem bers of the axis if they decide to take a hand. Japan’s action has brought into the war more than a dozen nations which had not been participants and it looks now as if the remainder of the world may be involv ed before the end of the year. Japan’s action brings together the dem ocracies of the world in one common cause—^to preserve their existence as free countries. The attack on the United States also makes clear that Germany, Italy, Japan and some of the people of Germany con quered countries make up the other side of the war, which truly will be world-wide in scope. Heretofore, this country has been a more or less half-hearted enemy of the axis. Now it is the world’s greatest power united in a common cause and with numer ous allies. Including the British Empire (Baltimore News-Post) The United States is at war with Japan, and will conduct the war with every re source at its command and with the grim determination and unswerving loyalty of the American people. This conflict is, of course, uridesired and unwelcome. But it is accepted with complete confi dence in ultimate victory. And it is entered with complete national unity. Japan has provoked this war unjustly and unconscionably. The Japanese armed forces have at tacked American territory and cities. American military and naval bases, and have destroyed substantial American prop erties and killed and maimed an undeter mined number of American citizens. Japan must learn, and will SOON learn that wrath and might of America are as I formidable as the patience of America has been deep and prolonged. We have ample demonstrated our peace ful intentions and aspirations. Now we will demonstrate capacities for war which this world has not yet seen and cannot match. rr HAS always been an axiom in history that a peaceful people, provoked to right eous war, makes the most fearsome adver sary. That is the position in which Japan will find, to its regret, that it has placed the United States and the peaceful American people. If the Japanese Government has delud ed itself that we are divided and afraid of war, it has deceived itself grievously and gruesomely. Perhaps Japan has mistaken the pro cess and practices of American democra cy, which have given freedom of opinion and expression to our people and their leaders, for a fundamental and irrepara ble division. If .so, Japan does not KNOW AMERICA. We are in this war, and WE WILL WII IT. Not just part of us, but ALL OF US are in the war. There is no holding back from whatever service and sacrifice is required to van it. There is no longer any debate on wis dom or necessity of our present course, for the very simple reason that it IS our for ward-looking, purposeful and unrelenting AMERICAN course. There is no further discussion of HOW we got into this war, but realistic, com plete and patriotic acceptance of the fact that we ARE in it. There is only ojie kind of American now —the kind who fs willing and glad and without equivocation or reservation in his steadfast and dutiful support of his coun try, his President and his Government. There is only one spirit in America now —^the traditional and historic AMERICAN SPIRIT, which makes ordeals and tribula tions the very source of the strength with which we defend and perpetuate the rights and liberties of our people. WE ARE ALL AMERICANS noyv, unit ed and strong and invincible. Let all Americans BE AMERICANS in every thought and act, in the high spirit of their fathers and with faith in the destiny of their beloved country and its cherished flag. trailers, and about 10,000 busses. The owner of each vehicle has been asked to report its make, capacity, kind of body (such as tank, plat form, panel, etc.), time of year the vehicle is most urgently need-j ed by the owner, whether in an emergency he would be willing to hire or lease it to a government agency, and so on. Ekch owner has received a questionnaire card on which to fill out this informa tion. Two branches of the Federal Works Agency have national con trol over the inventory. The pub lic roads administration has plan ned the undertaking. The WPA is assisting many of the states and will analyze and list the returns.
