(Received September 1, 9 p.m.) CLEVELAND (Ohio), August 31
Admiral Ernest J. King, Commander-In-Chief of the U.S. Fleets, told the Chamber of Commerce that the war will he long and tough and will bring many heartaches and disappointments, but the United Nations, will win. We have insufficient killing tools yet to make opr real strength felt. A twoocean Navy is not yet a reality, and there is still a lack of smaller warships. The navy expects more than a million and a hal fmen in service next year. Enlistments will be kept on a voluntary basis.” Admiral King, speaking at a patriotic celebraton held by workers in his home town, Lorain, Ohio, said: “The Battle of the Solomons is only a hint of what will ultimately happen to the enemy, but we shall need evejw killing tool you can make. Our greatest difficulty is implementing eight fronts simultaneously.
“We should hit our best stride on the home front within a year, then we shall proceed to victory, 'but the war will be long and hard.” He called the eight fronts the British, the Middle East, India, China, Alaska, Hawaii, the South-west Pacific and Russia.
