:40:01
Let's take a look at the general
who in a few short months...
:40:04
has turned the tide
toward victory.
:40:07
Colonel Whitney! Yes.
We've been expecting you.
:40:09
Welcome to New Guinea. Come in
out of the light. I'm so sorry.
:40:12
That's all right. Please,
have a seat right over here.
:40:15
Excuse me just a moment. I
have to watch this one section.
:40:20
Okay, that's more like it.
:40:26
I understand you're here to organize
Philippine guerrilla activity?
:40:29
Yes, yes, that's right. But you
know, I've just come from Washington.
:40:32
I must tell you
straight off,
:40:34
you've done an absolutely topnotch
job on the general's press.
:40:37
He's America's hero now, and no
small amount of credit belongs to you.
:40:41
Well, we don't want the home
folks to forget about us out here.
:40:43
Oh! I don't think you realize
the dimensions of the excitement.
:40:47
Here. Letters from
congressmen, senators,
:40:50
corporation executives,
even two governors.
:40:52
And thousands of
just plain folks.
:40:56
"You are big, B-I-G,
:40:59
"enough to do a complete
housecleaning...
:41:01
"of parasitic bureaucrats
in Washington.
:41:03
"As long as the war is on, only
a military figure like yourself...
:41:06
can unseat the man
in the White House. "
:41:08
There's one from a lady in
New Jersey I want you to read.
:41:11
Excuse me a minute. I just want to
look at this closing. Oh, sure.
:41:14
Just remember, America's greatest combat general
will be leading you into battle.
:41:18
"Hit 'em where they ain't. "
That's his motto.
:41:21
This is the MacArthur touch,
:41:24
combining sea and air power
as never before,
:41:26
he's leapfrogging right over the enemy's strongholds
to cut their chow line...
:41:31
all the way to the Philippines.
:41:34
Now you get your chance to
fulfill the immortal pledge:
:41:37
I came through,
and I shall return.
:41:45
Good!
Good!
:41:47
Some exciting stuff there. Thank you.
:41:49
Okay on this one
to Washington.
:41:53
Wow! President MacArthur.
I like the sound of that.
:41:56
Only question is,
how does it sound to MacArthur?
:41:59
You know that I have
no political ambitions whatsoever.
