ADVANCE TOWARDS JAPAN
MONTHS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. President Roosevelt, broadcasting from White House, said: " We are all overjoyed with the news from the Pacific. Never before in history have there been such long lines of supply and communication. Even while we are fighting the major war in Europe our advances towards Japan are many months ahead of our own optimistio schedule, but we must remember that any military operation conducted at such a distance is a hazardous undertaking. Progress may be interrupted by checks and setbacks. Ultimately, however, the advance will halt only at Tokio itself.
" We also do not expect that the winter will bring a lull in Europe, On the contrary we expect to keep striking the enemy on the move, hit him again and again, give him no rest, and drive through to Berlin."
