"The light of hope on the horizon should give us fresh courage for the which lies ahead," Mr. King "Let there be no mistake. That task will be much more difficult and in all probability much longer than any of us begin to realize.

Drapeau, Jean Montreal. Dumont, Rosario, Valley- In Rabaul Raid Land Forces Drive New Wedge Into Enemy Lines ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Australia, Jan. 2 (CP) Allied ground forces in New Guinea have driven another wedge in the Japanese positions in the Buna area, and the air forces have carried out new punishing raids on Japanese bases in New Britain, Allied headquarters announced today. A Japanese submarine was struck and damaged by an Allied heavy bomber that attacked at Widebay, in New Britain, and three large enemy vessels were left enveloped in flames after a dawn bombing force struck the harbor at Rabaul on New Year's Day, a communique said. One large vessel, estimated at 10,000 tons, was hit in the centre of the harbor.

Ships of 8.000 and 6,000 tons were hit farther out All three burst into flames and were burning fiercely as the raiders left. The bombers dropped on the shipping and shot down two of five enemy fighter planes that rose to meet them. SAVAGE FIGHTING The air force also left bombs on the airdrome at Gasmata, in Southern New Britain, and bombed the airfield at Buin, on the southern tip of Bougainville Island, in the Solomons. The Japanese replied with another bombing of Merauke, on the Dutch New Guinea south coast. The new division of the Japanese beachhead defenders was on the right flank near Buna.

"Fighting is savage and desperate and is continuing," the headquarters report said. Dispatches from the front said the Allied objective now is to enemy holdings at Gir-opoa Point and eastward, and at the Buna government station, leaving the Sanananda sector as the last Japanese strongpoint to be mopped up.

"In this as in no previous war." he said, "men are conscious of the supreme necessity of planning what is to come after, and of carrying forward into peace the common effort which will have brought them victory in the war. They have come to see that the maintenance and safeguarding of peace is the most vital single necessity in the lives of each of us." PLEDGES U.S.

AID By plain implication, Mr. Roosevelt's statement pledged so far as he was able to give such a pledge the United States to full participation in the projected international effort. It was obviously destined to have a profound effect upon post-war planning both here and in other capitols. Mr. Roosevelt offered no suggestions as to the form that that post-war international organization should take.

The details were unimportant, he said, and the main thing was the objective.

C. Seagrim and his detachment of men from A20 R.CJV.S.C. training centre, Red Deer, at the train wreck in Almonte, Ontario, was expressed in a telegram received today by the officer commanding M.D. 13, from Mayor George L. Comba of Almonte.

The telegram reads as follows: "I desire to report that Major Sea-grim and his detachment of officers and men played a heroic part in caring for the dead and wounded at train wreck in Almonte. They placed their blankets and service equipment at our disposal, and worked heroically throughout the night. Very grateful indeed." In forwarding the message to the officer commanding A20 R.C.A.S.C training centre, the D.O.C. also expressed appreciation for the good work done by the detachment might be presented in his annual address to Congress, next Thursday. It was thought possible that he would follow up then with perhaps a partial endorsement of the "world council" proposal recently set forth by Vice-President Henry Wallace.

Under the Wallace plan the "council" would have responsibility for general world-wide conditions, with regional matters to be adjusted by the nations of the regions affected. OUTLINES TASK The President set forth what he considered "our task on this New Year's It was, he said, threefold: "First, to press on with the massed forces of free humanity until the present bandit assault upon civilization is completely crushed; "Second, so to organize relations among nations that forces of barbarism can never again break loose; "Third, to co-operate to the end that mankind may enjoy in peace and in freedom the unprecedented blessings which Divine Providence through the progress of civilization has put within our reach."

Nazi Auxiliary Cruiser Sunk LONDON, Jan. 2 (CP) The German radio today told of the sinking of the Nazi auxiliary cruiser Atlantis by the British cruiser Devonshire. This probably was the same sinking announced by the Admiralty December 1.

The Admiralty said then the Devonshire sunk an armed German merchant raider in the South Atlantic November 22, and that "it was not practicable to pick up survivors" because a Nazi submarine was nearby. It did not identify the ship. Today's announcement by the Germans did not locate the sinking, but indicated it occurred in the South Atlantic. The Admiralty announced the Devonshire shelled the German raider and that its magazine exploded shortly after the crew took to lifeboats. The Devonshire suffered no casualties or damage.
