WENDELL WILLKIE
ON WORLD PROBLEMS “ As Americans we must recognise that we share with these men and women of the British Commonwealth of Free Nations the responsibility oi making the whole world a commonwealth of free nations,” said Mr Weniell Willkie recently. , “ The grim, relentless progress of this war is teaching all of us that in ’. world forced to choose between victory and slavery, between freedom and Fascism, there are no purely local problems. “ India is our problem. If Japan should conquer that vast sub-coqtin-ent, we will be the losers. In the same sense the Philippines are a British problem. If we fail to deliver by force of arms the independence we have promised to the Filipinos the whole Pacific world will be the loser. We must believe those simple truths, and speak loudly and without fear. “ Only in this way can the people of the world forge this strength and confidence toward each other which we will need to win the peace.”
