United Nations
Observe Flag Day
The United Nations dedicated them-
selves anew Sunday, in a world-wide
celebration of Flag Day, to putting an
end to Axis tyranny and establishing
a peaceful order in which all men
can enjoy freedom, security and jus-
tice.
From Cape Town, South Africa to
Washington, London, Moscow and
Chungking, the hope of Allied victory
and a better wcrld was expressed.
In Washington, President Roose-
velt welcomed Mexico and the Phili-
ppine commonwealth into the alliance,
raising to 28 the number of nations
pledged to win the war, and reasserted
his belief that the people of these
lands “know that their faith .cannot be
broken by anv man or any force.”
“We ask the brave, unconquered
people of the rations the Axis invades
have dishonored and despoiled whether
they would rather yield to conquerors
or have freedom of speech and relig-
ion, freedom from want and from
fear.
“We know the answer. They know
the answer. We know that man, born
to freedom in the image of God, will
not forever suffer the oppressor’s
sword.”
Surrounded by Dr. Francisco Cas-
tillo Najera, the Mexican ambassador;
President Manuel Quezon of the Phili-
ppine Commonwealth, and diplomatic
representatives of 25 other signatories,
Mr. Roosevelt declared:
"Today the republics of Mexico and
the Commonwealth of the Philippine
Islands join us. We welcome these
valiant peoples to the company of
those who fight for freedom.”

If the government itself would look
into the rubber rationing matter a lit-
tle closer, as is desired of the civilian,
then it would be found that millions of
casings could easily be done away
where light trucks in service at var-
ious camps are using from eight to ten
casings on vehicles carrying light
loads, when men in the trucking busi-
ness would be glad to haul the same
loads with only four good casings.
Even the little jeeps are overloaded
with rubber in many cases. Cut light
army trucks down to four ,or six cas-
ings, and you will have saved many
tons of rubber in each district.
