A WORLD-WIDE OFFENSIVE
Leaders’ Comment (By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.) LONDON, January 27. Mr. Roosevelt, after the conferences, told correspondents at Casablanca that they had reached the conclusion that world peace could be attained only by the total elimination of German and Japanese power, which meant unconditional surrender from the Axis. This did not mean the destruction of the populations of the Axis countries, but the destruction of their philosophy of hate and fear and the subjugation of others.
The chiefs of staff had kept two primary considerations before them — first, the 'principle of pooling Allied resources on a world-wide basis: second, the maintaining of tbe Allies’ initiative throughout the world. He added, that a world-wide offensive would be vigorously prosecuted, and all possible aid would be given to Russia and China. Mr. Churchill said it was the most important war conference lie liad ever witnessed or attended. Nothing which happened throughout the war could come between him and Mr. Roosevelt. They were linked by a friendship which was one of the Allies’ strongest sinews of war, making possible things which would otherwise be impossible between the heads of the Allied nations. Mr. Churchill praised the great enterprise of the African attack, in which he had been Mr. Roosevelt's willing lieutenant, and which altered tbe whole strategic outlook. It placed the initiative, in the Allies’ hands, and now that they had that precious sovereign treasure in their hands they must labour hard to keep it. Mr. Churchill smphasized the thoroughness of the professional discussions which accompanied tbe conference, and expressed the Allies’ unconquerable will to pursue the war to “unconditional surrender.”
