5. This war is going to be a long and hard and tough fight to win, and if the United Nations are going to win it we are going to have to fight like hell on every battle front, and fight like blazes and with fury on every, home front. That was the message brought to the quad-cities last night by Virgil Plnkley, European manager for the United Press, and heard by an overflow audience at the Orpheum theater. Crowds in the theater foyer unable to find seats, and on the walk in front of the theater heard the message over a public address system. "Our country and its allies are facing an enemy that uses and will use any means, however ruthless, to win, and we must fight this war with their methods if we hope to achieve victory," the newsman said.

"Kid glove methods are out," he added, "we must meet ruthlessness with ruthlessness." Mr. Pinkley was brought to Davenport through the auspices of the Davenport Democrat and the Times. Second Front. The second front? That Pinkley left entirely in the hands of the military of the United Nations, voicing a hope that it will rest solely with them, and that the politicians will not have a part in it. How soon a second front will be opened, or where it will be attempted, he did not even hazard a guess.

But he cited three factors, any one of which probably would bring about such action this year. They are: If Russia would become almost hopelessly pushed backward. Then any immediate effort to relieve them would be forced on the United States and Britain. If Russia should show unexpected power for counterattack, thrusting the nazis back into Germany. Then this country and Britain would want to be "in on the kill." If the politicians of this country and Britain would force such action for political reasons.

And it was then he expressed the hope that such a situation never would occur. Interviews Gandhi. Mn Pinkley left this country last fall, before Japan hurled us into the conflict, traveling west into India and the Middle East. An interview with Mohandas Gandhi was highlighted by the approaching campaign of civil disobedience the all-India congress 13 expected to approve Friday, a campaign to obtain independence from Britain, Gandhi this week was quoted as saying that should Britain deny India liberty, Indians might welcome a Japanese invasion. Mr.

Pinkley questions such a feeling exists, for Gandhi told him that if India is going to be ruled by any outside nation, India would much prefer that ruler be Britain. Mr. Pinkley spoke at length on Russia, and the fignt the Red army Is waging against an enemy superior in equipment. Russia was not surprised at the German attack more than a year ago, he quoted a Russian officer telling him. Germany always was, is and always will be Russia's hated enemy.

Cox declared, at least 100 old machines have been rebuilt at the factory and Bome of them already have been delivered to the tank arsenal. Farmall Production.
