All right, .say we have one, and acquire liom Britain the ownership ol leased air bases approaching our shores which are essential to implement i? Where then are we regarding the peace and security of this country and the world- The idea of the alliance, the reason for it, is that St forms a military combination too powerful to be attacked by any enemy, and the rest of the woild thereupon w mid accept inferiority peacefully, and never plan again to conquer us and establish their own world dominance.

An alliance is a political solution, whereas ♦•cur-ity, if not peace, is a military problem 'Hie alliance idea is being fostered in this country by those who want it in order to bring about a disarmed peace, whereas the security and peace of the British and us require continued military dominance—a subject strangely emitted in all current debates.

American troops on the other hand ran into stiff fighting the moment they landed on the beaches. Smash Counter Attacks Lieut General Mark W.
