BY HELEN LOMBARD.

Confusing the enemy, one OF the
many tasks of the psychological war
fare division, has been relatively
easy. With most Of Washington in
state Of advanced confusion, the
Axis analysts Of American broad
casts and newspapers could not fail
to be in somewhat of a daze after
conscientiously sampling the news
front in the United States.
This situation Is not without prac-t
tical advantage to America. From
certain reactions which have been
observed, it is clear that the Axis
powers listen carefully to American
broAdcasts, not SO much to short
wave stations as to the domestic
news, from which they expect to pick
up hints regarding military and
diplomatic moves.
The American newspapers also
come in for a share of attention.
The Axis is very faithful clipping
bureau patron. Bundles of American
newspapers 60 of to Lisbon at regu-
lar intervals. Broadcasts and news
paper articles are analyzed and cata-
logued.
Look for Every Secret.
The reputation for a certain gar
fulousnesS. which has been fastened
on Washington ofiicialdom, has led
our enemies to believe that most OF
our secrets are published in the press
or announced over the radio, and
that the careful foreign listener or
reader cannot fail to pick up vital
information from the Welter of Of
flcial pronouncements and contra
dictions.
On several occasions, therefore,
the Axis has gulped down scoops and
indiscretions which subsequently
turned out to be duds.
For the time being, in spite OF cer-
tain positive results, there is still a
lack Of unity in the organization OF
the branch which comprises sections
dealing with military political STRAIT
egy. There is as yet no overall dl-
rection such as the PWE (political
war executive) board which serves as
guiding committee for the British
outfits engaged in the same kind OF
work.
In Washington there is still some
discussion about the jurisdiction
and function of the various branches
of the psychological warfare divi-
sion. In spite of the enormous
scope of this vast and mysterious
realm, there is much carving up OF
territory and dispute about juris-
diction.

Australians Hail American Army
By ROY L. CURTHOYS

Melbourne, Australia - In the last America en- trusted some of her to Australian general in their first offensive action On Independence Day 1918 1000 Americans, who until then had been holding the line fought beside the Anzacs in the Battle of Hamel under the late General John Monash, Australian Con- rnander in Chief, who led them to great victory. Af
 erward he wrote that the Americans fought most gal
 antly and ever after received by Australians "blood brothers" Three months later General Monash was given 500 900 Americans from the TWenty-seventh and Thirtieth Divisions for attack on the Hinden burg Line in the battle that sealed Germanys doom

 Already there is host of amusing stores all varia- tons on the theme that these boys know how to get things done It isn't the least sauory lesson Australia will earn from Americans, who can't see the use of rules and regulations and trade-union limitations in wartime and want the work done regardless of hours Ii wharf aborers don't feel like working around the clock the Americans will and do Unloading ships. many Americans worked twenty-four hours at stretch and longer Their little eeps which excited the wonder ment and amusement of all Australia to go any, where and everywhere

America S Battle

Today as Minister has said, Australia gladly en- trusts her entire forces to Americas foremost contem porary soldier who has shown the world that the only true defense is offense General MacArthur's welcome is not only for his fighter but also proof of the rstrate importance which America attaches to the task of holding Australia, of her willingness to dertake tremendous commitments to this end and also demonstrating the United States Governments re cogniton of the fact abundantly emphasized both here and in America that the Battle of Australia is much Americas battle as 1t is ours.
 Since America is providing most of the planes and ships essential to victory it is deemed appropriate that she also furnish the strategic leadership MacArhurs is just the kind of bold tenacious generashp for which Australians have been crying out It is looked to for aggressive effort such brought about the deVasa ing assault on the Japanese convoy in New Guinea waters, announced the day after General MacArthurs arrival in Australia The expectation is that there will be no waiting dumbY for the enemy but instead an ncessant and vigorous marrying of him So Australians hope that they will day be able to say that theirs the country where the hitherto unbroken surge of the Japanese conquest was decisiVey halted and thrown back.
 It is fully recognized that the best pledge Australians give of their gratitude for Americas aid is to in fuse increasing Vigor and maximum efficiency into their own war effort and to lend Americans the closest and abest collaboration possible

Hospitality Flows Free


 Thus, in its very nature, welcome to the Ameri- forces is form It is an expression of warm hearted gratitude of bond of goodwill and brother hood in arms based on a common outlook and way of life Now that the ban of official silence has been lift ed, the WespringS of private hospitality have already been freely opened and bound to flow in greater measure.
 Americans seem to like being among us as much as we like having them Many say that they still cant believe that they would feel so completely at home - except that skyscrapers of the dwarf variety and the traffic is all the wrong side of the road
 Accommodating the Americans was a real problem at first Many billeted in private homes until camps were ready and whole buildings have been taken over to house administrative stas One morning the people of quiet suburb had their sleep disturbed by noise in q nearby park The next morning revealed the skele- ton of a regular town which within fortnight was completely camp Such all-American cities have risen in many parts of Australia.
 The Americans are exemplary guests-good natured, generous, gentlemany patenty anxious to fit into the Australian picture, yet full of hugh spirits and wise cracks eager to know all about Australia This healthy curiousty sometimes sends embarrassed Australians, not well informed they ought to be- to brush up their knowledge of their own country While Amer- cans profess to be having trouble with the language which they complain Australians speak too fast the truth IS they acquiring nice command of Austral- ian cbod,.

There was more. But those were
the main lines.

not been set down here without
the clarity, without the INTEGRITY

try as a free man on the same basis
as any other free man; that YOU
couldn't bring yourself to surrender
that right by submitting to the Sc
gregation and humiliation Of Jim
Crow discrimination in the Army.
At this late day, there is just one
dea L would like to add. You are
a man Of courage; your very decis-
ion shows it. Have you the eour-
age to take wen that final step
to fight for your people that way;
to fight discrimination while wear

yoke Of Discrimination; to stand as

prison. I told you of other Negro
es who had accepted the Jim Grow
ism in the Army, not because they
approved, but to cary on the fight
for better race relations while end
uring the very injustices to which
you properly object. There are a
couple more 1 would like to men,
ton now:
There is Joe Louis, who fought
for the Navy Relief at a time when
the Navy would not have a Negro
in its ranks except as a mental in
the mess service. Don't you agree
that part Of the credit for the
Nays later decision to open the
door to Negroes goes to the exam
pie Set by Joe Louis? 8
Or Dorie Miller-didn't that Ne
gro messman, denied the right to
man a gun, bring the day Of equal
ity and understanding closer for all
Negroes when he did man a gun
at Pearl Harbor?
You met my point by granting
that a Negro could serve his people
and country in the armed Services.
You hoped that all who could would
do so. For you know the slavery
that Fascism holds for all Of US if
we are beaten. But for yourself,
you said, your conscience would per-
NIT you only to make the other
choice
1 asked you to consider the Sou
thern white ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ers Of the vile stripe Of Eugene
Talmadge-who were in the service.
When one of these men dies in &C
ton, I said, his blood is being shed
as much for your right to fight for
equality as for his own version Of
democracy.
You said that even if you could
bring yourself to enter the Army
and submit to its Jim Crow discrim-
i~nation, it would not be fair to the
country, your leaders, or your com
rades. For, you said, feeling as you
do, your whole body and soul woiII1
not be in the Highland a soldier
must give everything.
I asked why, if discrimination
meant SO much to you, you had not
gone around throwing bricks in
windows long since-for you had
never known anything but discrim-
ination. 1 asked why you had
waited until now.
You replied, simply, that the idea
of serving in a Jim Crow Army was
just the last straw.
I asked if you thought that re-
s~istance to the injustice of dis
elimination should be carried to the
ultimate-if the Negro should club
the white man on the head in an ef-
fort to make him surrender the e.
quality to which you are entitled.
I knew how stupid the question
was when you answered, quietly,
that equality could not be achieved
