MacArthur Response to Editorial #4


Congratulations to Winston Churchill who finally gave Hitler a taste of his own medicine. All of us here in the Philippines are very happy for you. You were outnumbered by many Nazis. Yet you still pulled it off. Hitler never even thought of what he would do if he was defeated by what he called the weak countries. This defeat could change his mind about destroying the rest of the world.

That’s not stopping me from building up my army. I will still keep training my forces for anything that may come through to America.

Britain had their luck in 1941 even though they had weaker forces and they were less supplied.

Winston knew the Germans were planning attack on him so he said to his country “Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him all Europe may be free, and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands; but if we fail, then the whole world will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say: ‘This was their finest hour.’” In this the British citizens were ready to fight.
