Long-range Army bombers could fly from Hawaii and Johnston Island, refuel and load bombs on Midway, then join the struggle. Or they could fly laden from Hawaii, expend their gasoline and bombs wherever they found Jap warships, then land on Midway if that were possible. If not, they could come down at sea. This was war. This was the kill...
...holds. The Soviet aim, in throwing maximum power into the present three-front drive, is not only to gain territory but also to frustrate as much as possible Hitler's preparations for a new offensive. 'Push him, bleed him, destroy his bases and force him to expend at least part of the reserve armies he is saving for the spring.' This is the Russian...

Most of them would, in any case, be better employed in our own aircraft and ammunition factories. Of course we should be obliged to expend some of our 'wealth and resources' but I do not think that they would be "poured down the drain" if used in the defence of our liberty and our civilization. Furthermore even if we follow your advice and refrain from any intervention we would be faced, in the event of a German victory, with the necessity...
