FORCES EXPANDING
The forces of the United Nations, the Prime Minister said, were growing steadily. There remained the difficult problem of applying that force, but the application was largely a matter of time. The Allies were following the principle that every soldier should be engaged on the broadest possible stage. We were the stronger animal, and we were shaking the life from the Axis. This was particularly true in the air; the Japanese and Germans were unable to maintain aerial equality with Britain, the United States and Russia, which was only poetic justice, because the aeroplane was the weapon which the Axis chose first to terrorise and subjugate other people. The ultimate results of the incessant Allied aerial offensive had yet to be seen. Reminded of the promise after the conference at Casablanca, to strike new and heavy blows against all members of the Axis, Mr Churchill said that the Casablanca statement still stood. The Allies’ plan was to wage war to unconditional surrender.
