Not Misinformed

THE final and highly satisfactory accounting of the
battle of Midway Island bears out the best hopes of
the American people and confirms all the early nforma-
ton from the
In fact. the American armed forces appear to have
conducted merely their most successful operation
against the enemy at Midway but also their most con-
siderate and comprehensive reporting of vital events
In many previous and subsequent phases of the
war there was much desired the matter of public
information.
In such the sinking OF the cruiser Houston,
information was suppressed beyond all reasonable time
and almost beyond the limits of public patience.
In the case of the disastrous battle in the Java Sea-
the American people actually misinformed. The
early reports of victorious action had to be suppaned by
the true reports of serious losses and thus the shock Of
establishment added to the shock of defeat.
= VEN in the of the battle in the Coral Sea, the
Z belatedlv acknowledged loss of the carrier Lexington
compelled from early appraisas Of the extent
of our victory.
And of course in the of the Aeuan occupation,
we have even vet little than the report that fog
persists the region with consequent fog in the minds
of the people.
But the events at Midway contrast sharply and most
pleasantly with the other badly reported events
The information released at the time gave the impress
sion that major victory had been achieved by the
American forces with heavy losses by the Japanese and
light losses by contingents.
Now we know that the RIGHT impression.
Apparently our authorities have the enthusiasm to
report victories accurately but not the courage and the
WISDOM to tell the truth about reverses.

Encouraging Figures

WHEN Detrots pedestrian protection ordinance be-

inclined grumbe the basis that only meant
reorganization for the individual at time when he was
being regimented to death anyway.
Adherents of the ordinance retorted it designed
purely to protect the lives of pedestrians that it
exclusively safety and that it had nothing to
do with RECOMMENDATION.
Two days ago the accident prevention bureau issued
figures showing that in the first 80 days after the ord
nance took effect there 334 pedestrian accidents
reported in Detroit In the same period last year 429
such mshaps listed.
This represents reduction Of "a per cent

DOSCOE PEACOCK, the in
IL defatigable Standard-bearer
of fundamental American indi-
vidualism up in North Cohocton,
N. Y, sends me these thoughts
for discouraged Individuals"
which he has culled from many
sources:
1.-THE UtOpians have always
lost their way I'm Utopia"
"COllectivism is a wonderful
doctrine for upsetting the exist
ing social order and then de-
faulting."
whenever the cause of a peo-
pie is entrusted to a professor,
all Is lost"
"a radical is a man with both
feet planted firmly in the air.
Franklin d. Roosevelt.
"Under socialism the perfect
subject would differ from the
slave only in that he would have
the state for a master"
when I hate a rich man. I
know it's plain, unvarnished
envy. When a Socialist does, he
thinks it's social science"
"'The end Of capitalism Is inn
minent.' 1t dies every day to
be reborn where and as long as
its fundamental moral phi
losophy, the freedom and SUI
premacy of the individual. Is
alive"
I'll add one of my own:
This is not abstractedly war
to end wars. 1t is concretely
war TO end Germany and
Japan as disturbers of the peace.
