There is one thing to get straight, right off the bat. You aren't in Australia to save a helpless people from the savage lap. Maybe there are fewer people in Australia than there are in New York City, but their soldiers, in this war and the last, have built up a great fighting record. For three years now, they've fought on nearly every battle front of the war; they've suffered heavy losses in Crete, Libya, Greece, and Malaya; and they're still in there pitch ing. The Australians need our help in winning this war, of course, but we need theirs just as much. You might remem her this story when you get into an argument about who's going to win the war: Not so long ago in a Sydney bar, an American soldier turned to an Australian next to him and said: Well, Aussie, you can go home now. We've come over to save you. The Aussie cracked back: Have you? I thought you were a refugee from' Pearl Harbor.
