FLAG DAY
EISENHOWER’S MESSAGE
RUGBY, June 13. General Eisenhower issued the following message on the occasion of United Nations Day:—“Autocracy has cause to tremble when the free nations join their minds, resources, hands'and hearts to maintain the common ideals. This age-old truth has again been demonstrated in the North African campaign. The land; sea and air forces of the United Nations pooled their resources in North Africa, planned together, worked together, and fought together towards a single goal, to rout the forces of enslavement. In face of the Allied battle unity, the. Axis forces in Tunisia went down to a humiliating defeat, with devastating effect upon the Dictators, whose purpose is to eliminate from the earth respect for those principles of liberty and human rights that are inspiring the United Nations to a supreme effort. The enemy’s first objective was to tear us apart. The Tunisian victory, therefore, stands as a monument to the perfection of our unification and I a double defeat for Hitlerism. We I face through unity by the forces of k freedom and will bring forth from this war, a triumphant peace.”
