cessful than this initial assault on
an American base this side of the
big water, but it will not do to un-
derestimate the significance of
Dutch Harbor.
1t means that we as well as our
enemy must anticipate the uneX-
pected. 1t is that kind of a war
with the whole globe as a battle
field, with action to be looked for
at any point between the poles. We
must expect these incidents Of good
fortune or bad until our immensity
Of production and the resourceful-
ness of our martial leaders brings
us to the inevitable finish.
We Will Pick Our battle-ground
Many of our newspaper COM
mentatOrs insist that the immediate
reply to the Dutch Harbor venture
is another bombing Of Japanese
cities, and appear impatient that
the Doolittle raid has not been re-
peated 1t is a natural reaction;
perhaps the answer is equally nat
ural. Presumably the Jap's logic
takes the same direction, as these
opinions indicate and the enemy
has taken the logical precautions
accordingly. The element of sur
prise that made possible General
DOOlittle's splendid achievement of
smashing military plants at the
heart of the enemy country with
out losing a single plane, could
hardly be repeated if the Japs
have assembled a mass of defense
planes at their Capital. Even a
layman can appreciate the inadvis-
ability of doing what the foe ex-
poets us to do and has made ready
for it.
The Dutch Harbor jab has not
hurt us; the attack on Midway
was repulsed with heavy losses to
the enemy.
Doubtless counter drives are be-
ing arranged, but it is reasonably
certain that when we strike it will
not be where the foe is laying for
us.
In any event, all these things
have to be taken into consideration
by our commanders. 1t is their job
to pick the battlefields, and not to
permit the enemy to maneuver
them into a combat area of the
enemy's own selection.
We have the disadvantage of
widely separated bases in the mid
Pacific and our long coast line;
but the Japs' war stations are
equally far-flung on their side of
the broad ocean and to their south
ward.
1t is up to US not only to out
fight them, but to Out-guess them.

mittee.
Tydings has been trying to get
Cash nicely enSCOnSed on the fed

And there was an opening recently
in the Office of Government Re-
ports. Lowell Mellett, head of

spot for Buck" Cash.
However, in view of the fact
that Tydings' speeches have been
largely aimed against Lowell Mel
lett, and his Office Of Government
Reports, the Senator, being real
ist. knew there was no chance.
SO instead, Senator Radcliffe
has been able to put across Mike"

Roads Commission regarding con-
structiOn of a new spur road over
to Indian Head But Chief Engi-
neer Ballard of the State Roads
Commission is proving to be a
first rate hOld-Out.
For a long time officials of the
Navy Department have been de-
, manding: % a new direct route
from Washington through Piscata-
way to the Potomac River Bridge;
and (2) a new concrete spur road
from this highway over to the
powder plant at Indian Head.
Plans for the spur were matur-
ing beautifully when Chairman
Ezra Whitman Of the State Com
mission learned that Washington
roads officials had decided to build
q spur of gravel instead Of con-
crete. Since this is a defense pro-
ject the government stands all the
first cost, but it is up to the State
TO pay for maintenance.
That's where the catch came in.
For a spur highway with a nine
inch bed of gravel would be pound
ed full of holes by army-navy
trucks, and the maintenance prob
lem would prove costly to the
State. So Ballard. who wanted no
white elephant on the States hands
put his foot down much to the
delight of naval officials.
Engineer Ballard, however, may
be overruled by his boss Ezra
Whitman who is mighty thick

What Editors
Are Saying
ABOUT OVERCONFiDENCE
The Road Ahead

Roosevelt added another = and
most authoritative voice to
those which recently have warned
the American people against I'M
due optimism. These warnings
must be needed if whatever bad
news the immediate future may
hold is not to be magnified Or If
hope merely deferred is not to ap-
pear calamity. The Axis may
collapse suddenly, but it is safer
and, on the basis of present infOr
nation, far more logical to assume
that the war will be long and
hard New York Herald Tri-
bune).
Whatever Our Hopes
No doubt the American public
needed to be admonished. For all
of us the moral is that, whatever
our hopes, we must plan for as
long a war as may be necessary
to do what we mean to get done.
If we work and sacrifice as tho
we expected it to last ten years,
perhaps we can finish it eight or
nine years sooner. = New York
Times.)
One of the great dangers of over
optimismis that it is apt to be fol-
lowed by the deepest pessimism.
The President was wisely philoso-
rect interpreter of social and eco
nomic trends and a sincere bat
tier not only for the rights, but
for the advancement Of the COM
