GRANGER m mt), General Marshalls Report 1 The recent report by the Chief of .Staff to the Secretary of War has attracted such widespread attention 'that it merits the reading of every citizen who wants to know from an official source - just. what has (been done and why it was done .General Marshall is admired most by those who know him. General Pershing said of him, Marshall is the beat officer of his time.". The summary of the report follows. Reviewing briefly the military situation as we find it on July 1, 1943, it will be remembered that our entry into war was marked by a,- succession of serious reverses, at Pear Harbor, in the Philippines, and through the Malaysian It was a time for calm Archipelago. courage and stout resolution on the part of the people of the United States. With our Pacific fleet crippled and the Philippines overwhelmed t the outset, we. were forced to watch the enemy progessively engulf our resstance to his advances. One year ago the German offensive in Russia was sweeping thru the Donetz Basin, jeopardizing the whole of South Russia and the Caucasus and omindusly menacing the Allied positions in the Middle East. Rommel s Afrika Korps with selected Italian troops had the British with their uacks to Cairo threatening the lifelo.ig of the British Empire.. Our successes in the Coral Sea and at Midway .and the repulse of the Japanese forces in the Aleutians had. not prevented the Japanese from Carving out a position of control of a vast empire, from which . they threatened India, Australia and our own Pacific position. A year ago the U. S.s ability to transport its power in supplies, munitions, and troops across the Atlantic was being challenged Dy submarines which in a single month had sunk 700,000 tone of shipping. ' July 1, 1943, finds the United States .. .. Army .and Navy united agaipst the Axis power's in'purpose and' in operation, a unity shared when the occasion demands by the British' Commonwealth of Nations, the Chinese, Dutch, French, and other fighting elements among our friends and supporters. 1 Across the Atlantic the enemy had been driven from North Africa, and Europe has been encircled uy a constantly growing mili- tary power. The Russian Army, engaging of the German ground two-thir- ds d forces and of the German air fleet in deadly and exhausting combat has dispelled the legend of the invincibility of the German Panzer divisions. The British Isles are stronger than ever before and a new France is arising from the ashes of 1940. Strategically the enemy in Europe has been reduced to the defensive and the blockade is complete. In the Pacific he Japanese are being steadily ejected or rather eliminated from their Conquered territory. The Aleutians are about to be cleared of all tracks pnd traces of the enemy. In the south and southwest Pacific two facts are plainly evident to the Japanese command as well as to the world at large: Our progress may seem alow but it is steady and determined, and. it has been accompanied by a terrific destruction of enemy planes and surface vessels. This attrition must present an appalling pro- . blem for the enemy, high command. Whatever satisfaction they may draw from the .fanatical sacrifice of the.r soldiers with whom our forces come in contact,, the destruction of their air power and shipping continue on an increasing and truly remarkable scale. In. brief, the strength of the enemy one-thir- . Randolph. Utah. Friday Oct, 1, 194 NEWS FROM OUR SER-- v VICE HELD FOR J. BOYS AND GIRLS IN MORGAN REX THE U. S.
