The work of this council will not be military in
the narrow sense There already is joint Anglo
American military command at Washington and an
other in London There joint ground air and
naval commands in the Southwest Pacific. But there
is another task-that of planning the military econ

struggle under way in the Pacific.
The United States, Great Britain, Australia, New
Zealand China Canada, and The Netherlands are
represented on the new council They are the active
members of the United Nations in respect to
the Pacific struggle 1t is to be hoped that the new
body will do more than merely coordinate the mill

It ought by all means to grasp the delicate but i'm

the several Oriental countries involved.

Charter to the whole of Asia, holding out to the
native peoples of India Malaga, French Indo- China,

Philippines the assurance of full freedom when this
grim war is fought and That is an essential
part of the complex task of waging war in an area
hitherto dominated by the colonial powers OF the

men, he took great delight in show
ing the little girls who presented
the peoples a china donkey and
elephant on his desk, and asking
them which they liked best.
Sometimes. to the embarrassment
of VFW officials, the tots chose the
elephant Thio year no chances were
taken Geraldine Reynolds, five
year-old orphan of an AEF veteran,
was carefully coached to point to
the donkey.
But Geraldine didn't get a chance
to show her political aStutenesS
The President, perhaps for reasons
of national unity, didn't put her
on the spot Instead, he gave VFW
officials something else to talk
about-a demonstration Of his re-
markable memory.
When little Geraldine was per-
ched on his desk for picture, the
PreSid emit demurred: "Oh, no,

poppy last year. Suppose you
stand down here beside me to make
1t different this year"

This was his interrogation by
Senator Ralph Brewster of Maine
on the experts Jones consulted when
he decided in 1941 to reduce sharply
the syn he ic rubber production
program recommended by Edward
Stettinius, then OPM raw materials
director.
The following is the Brewster
Jones exchange:
Brewster. The report recon-
mended the creation of committee
of experts to pass on these technical
questions. Did you create such a
committee?
Jones: Well, 1 don't know what
you call experts.
Brewster: l don't think that is
susceptible of definition / think
either you know it or you don't.
Jones answer was a long state
ment about consulting with people
in the industry"
Brewster: Now. did you or didn't
you have committee of technical
experts?
Jones' I don't know whether we
had committee or not.
Brewster: Mr. Jones, that is q
very amazing statement.
Jones: 1 don't think it is amazing

Letters From Home
{ New York Tines


The War and Navy Departments and the Post
office making special efforts to see that mail to
and from men in the services overseas is delivered
promptly This is of the most important factors
in maintaining the morale of forces abroad Dur
ing the First World War it too often one of the
most neglected This time it is promised that mail
will be carried ration ships and trains
Nothing is treasured more by man on the fight
ing front than a letter from home. He feels linked
with his people and is all the reader to go into
battle for them Sometimes in the past however,
these letters have been written and never delivered,
or only delivered in patches of dozens at time.
That is real misfortune which every effort is now
being made to prevent. Our soldiers and sailors are
themselves great letter writer's From Iceland alone
they are sending home 10000 month. They all
expect answers and eagerly await them. Those who
have relatives friends in the armed services should
write to them often possible. That is a genu-
inc contribution toward winning the war The Gov
eminent undertakes speedy delivery despite all diff
ficulties of censorship and distance.

PRODUCTION FOR VICTORY

Americans without number have been calling for
IAN offensive" That they believe in striking at the
enemy on his ground is wholesome situation
in itself And that Americas armed forces will take
the offensive as it is practicable, we may
be certain. But in the meantime, there is major
offensive already under way 1t has not had the
attention it deserves from the general public.
That offensive already in motion is the produc-
ton drive opened several weeks ago by Donald
Nelson War Production Board chief 1t is not a
star-spangled version of the "speed-up" 1t is not
bayhoo to no specific end. 1t is sensible attempt
to get greater industrial production in key industries
by inviting the full cooperation of workers and man
agement and by showing every soldier at the work
bench how his job is part of the whole effort
Modern even more than the warfare of ear
lier epochs, is a process which begins in field and
factory and ends on the battlefront. Modern war
requires far more men in factories for every man
in uniform than was the in the first World
War or any previous conflict
Hard work at lathe and drill press will not make
up for failure to put powerful and we-trained
armies and fleets into the theaers of war But in
dllstrial production is something which must come
first which is the absolute prerequisite to victory
the battlefield Selling that idea is of the
most vital tasks in America today

World Leaders
(Bremerton News Searchlight)

(BremertOn eWS-SearchHghtl
This war has produced three military leaders OF
the first rank-General Macarthur of the United
States Marshal Timoshenko CT the Soviet Union and
Generalissmo Chank Kai-Chek OF China. The last
has particular distinction in that he's head of his
government as well its active commander IN mill
tary affairs 1t is significant that all of these COM
manders believe in the offensive and pursue the OIL
fensve Macarthur, of course is carrying on what
is essentially defensive acton-but he continually
takes the battle to the enemy. Timoshenko has won
immense victories, which have cost the Germans MIL
lions of men, by use of the most daring offensive
tactics And Chang Kai-Chek, for five years, has
flung his superbly brave ilequipped armies against
the jap and kept him out of the heart of China 1t
is for that reason that recent changes in the COM
mands of the United States Army and Navy should
encourage the country. Some super conservatives
have been eased out And younger aggressive men are
coming in to top positions.

SATURDAY, APRIL ID

Good and adverse aspects appear
to balance in the horoscope for
today. The morning is promising
for merchants and newspaper men.
HEART AND HOME: Good news
should cheer many homes under
this configuration. The stars inn
part clear vision on public pros
lens and stimulate enthusiasm IN
war service. Girls may find this
lucky day for seeking employ
ment especially where technical
training or thorough education may
be required Gardening is under
first rate planetary direction this
week. The raising of vegetables
and the preservation of foods should
engage attention in many families
Speech should be watched by young
and old: even in the home circle
discussion of neighborhood gossip
regarding men in uniform should
be avoided. Walls have ears and
the grapevine telegraph is busy.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: War de-
velopments will affect the world
of business this month but there
will be intense activity in providing
supplies for sorely pressed armies
of the Allies. The stars warn OF
many discouraging events that VIII
spur the nation to tremendous war
effort. Threat of invasion will AZ
feet certain lines of trade and re-
tard shipping programs. 1t is fore
told that midsummer will be the
zero hour in American commercial
circles because of uncertainties due
to slow momentum in our war prog
reSS.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Tar d y
awakening to our national peril Will
cause bitter discussions and recrlm-
nations in Congress as our air
forces gather power Fear will be
encouraged by fifth columnists and
civilian weaklings but the general
public will exhibit splendid courage
and unalterable faith in our ma

tell. Mercury is in an aspect that
stimulates a determined spirit in
the people who will assure victory
