DOOM OF DICTATORS

AND TRIUMPHANT PEACE ASSURED BY ALLIED CO-OPERATION GENERAL EISENHOWER’S MESSAGE. ON OCCASION OF UNITED NATIONS DAY. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 11.35 a.m.) RUGBY, June 13. General Eisenhower has issued the following message on the occasion of United Nations Day, which is being celebrated on Monday: —“Autocracy has cause to tremble when free nations join their minds, resources, hands and hearts to maintain their common ideals. This age-old truth has again been demonstrated in the North African campaign. The land, sea and air forces of the United Nations pooled their resources in North Africa, planned together, worked together and fought together towards a single goal to rout the forces of enslavement. In face of the Allied battle unity, die Axis forces in Tunisia went down to humiliating defeat, with devastating effect upon the dictators, whose purpose is to eliminate from the earth respect for those principles of liberty and human rights that are inspiring the United Nations to a supreme effort. The enemy’s first battle objective was to tear us apart. The Tunisian victory therefore stands as a monument to the perfection of our unification and as a double defeat for Hitlerism. We face, through the unity the forces of freedom will bring forth from this war, a triumphant peace.”
