BEFORE 1944
BAD NEWS FOR AXIS
Roosevelt Promises Drastic Action Against Japan
N.Z. Press Association.—Copyright Rec. 2 p.m. WASHINGTON," Feb. 12. "The decisions at Casablanca were not confined, to one theatre of war. Before the end of the year the world will realise that the meeting produced plenty of news—bad news for the Germans, Italians and Japanese," declared President Roosevelt, in a Lincoln Day speech. "We don't expect finally to defeat Japan by going forward inches by inches, island by island, across the vast expanse of the Pacific," he added. "Great and decisive actions will be taken to drive the Japanese from Chinese soil. Important actions will be taken in the skies over China and over Japan itself."
