YOU and your outfit have been assigned one of the most important military missions ever given to American soldiers—the task of driving the Japanese back to Tokyo.
In this global war it is not enough that you should be able to destroy or immobilize all who are your nation’s enemies; you must be able to win the respect and good will
of all who are not.
Right now the world is our workshop and whether we, and the other United Nations, can get it back in running order again depends on how much we know about the materials in it—meaning the people. By winning their confidence and convincing them of our good faith, we shall find many short cuts to success over the enemy and lay the foundations of international understanding that are essential to building a worth-while, enduring peace.
In India your job is doubly difficult. To drive the Japanese armies out of Burma where they now threaten invasion of Assam, India’s^easternmost province, is a military operation of sizable proportions. To keep them on the run, out of Indo-China and China itself, is still more formidable.
