July "a Is Last
Day to File For
Primary Election

Certificates Of candidacy for the
primary election on September must
be filed with the Board Of Election
Supervisors on or before July "a, ac-
cording to an opinion issued from the
office Of the Attorney General of the
State
Assistant Attorney General Robert
E. Clapp, ,Jr, said that counting back
from September 8 it will be seen that
it is only by filing certificates Of can
didacy on or before July "a that a
statutory period of forty-five clear
days" may be complied with.
He was replying to an inquiry from
the Baltimore Board of Election Su-
pervisors, which applies equally to the
counties. He also said that it is only
by withdrawal on or before August
that the statutory period of 30
days for Withdrawing certificates Of
candidacy may be complied with.
Thus far there is no way whereby
men who are being drafted could reg
lister before they leave, so they would
be entitled to receive ballots.
There is no such thing as absentee
registration. The regular registration
days prior to the primary will be set
and persons who have not registered
to vote in State and county elections
will have to appear at that time in
person to register, so far as could be
learned The emergency voting law
makes no mention of registrations.
The Maryland State Bar associa-
tion approved a plan to revise the
judiciary system, which would replace
the eight Judge court Of appeals with
one of five judges. The plan must be
approved by the Legislature and rati-
fled by voters in the form Of constitu-
tional amendment.

Help Is Insufficient

In numerous instances our
troops have unloaded conveys, re-
placing stevedores who were not
required to work after the whis-
tie blew. We have built airfields,
roads. cantonments; the Austral-
ians have helped, but in so far as
labor is concerned, their help has
been by no means what was hoped
for.
Obviously the only way in which
an offensive can be developed from
Australia, other than the short
range bombardment of nearby
Japanese bases, is across the seas,
and this means ships. Any offen-
sive from Australia must be an
amphibious offensive. protected by
air power, but transported by
ships. This means not only trans
port and cargo hulls, but men-of.

The strategic problem is fur
ther complicated by the division
of the Pacific into two separate
areas.
Australia's internal problems
have rendered General MacAr-
thurs position as commander-in-

known Australian newspapers,

tors.
The effect Of the circumstances
under which General Macarthur
was ordered TO Australia-when
that country was In dire danger OF
invasion-and the importance OF
his coming and of the arrival OF
American troops to Australian
politics are obvious.
Prime Minister John Curtin's
political position naturally was
strengthened by these events; just
as the Australian war cabinet
naturally has continued to reserve
to itself a considerable share Of
authority. Military decisions in

the line, although our first foot
holds in the Southern Solomons
are on Admiral Nimitz' side.
This division is not necessarily
a serious h an d leap although
under lesser men than General
Macarthur and Admiral Nimitz IL
might be so. But IL does pose
problems, particularly II Australia
should some day become the base
for a great strategic counter-of-
fensive. But that in turn depends
upon a solution of the shipping
shortage. remedial measures to
solve Australia's internal difficult
ties and determination of the
strategic role Australia must play
In the Pacific.
For the time being the fierce
fighting in the Solomons indicates
quite definitely that the strategic
spotlight Is to the east Of her; we

in the Mandates-which is the
center of japanese naval effort
and New Caledonia.
When the Solomon Islands cam
paign was decided upon, the
dividing line between Admiral
Nimitz' authority and that of Gen.
eral Macarthur ran squarely
through Guadalcanal.
In order to centralize authority
under the navy, which was con-
ducting the campaign, it was de-
cided to move the line westward,
which put all of Guadalcanal and
the southern Solomons under Ad-
miral Nimitz' jurisdiction.

Support Each Other

Some OF these vessels, as the
announcement of the loss of the
Australian cruiser Canberra in the
might action off Savo Island on
August 9 showed, were attached to
the South Pacific forces then
under command of Vice Admiral
Robert L. Ghormley for the Solo
mon Islands offensive.
General MacArthur's bombers
have also supported the Solomons
offensive by heavy air attacks
upon Rabaul and the enemy's
northern Solomon bases. In other
words, forces under the command
OF one OF the two great strategical
commanders in the Pacific have
supported forces under the COM
mand of the others and vice versa.
When the commands Of General
Macarthur and Of Admiral Ches-
ter w. Nimitz were defined, the
strategic problems of the Pacific
were complicated by the division
of that ocean into two separate
areas.
General Macarthur Is supreme
commander of all United Nations
forces in the Southwest Pacific:
Admiral Nimitz, who commands
the Pacific fleet. commands all the
rest Of the vast area outside of
General MacArthur's jurisdiction,
with Vice Admiral William F. Hal
sey Jr.. who has relieved Vice
Admiral Ghormley as a subcom-
mander In the South Pacific.

Labor's Stand Hurts


increased in Australia by one fac
tor about which Australians them
selves complain - the "a b o r
problem.
There Is no question in the opin-
ion of many Australians that Au-
stralian labor's insistence upon its
rights" its determination to work
no longer than q stated number of
hours and to knock off Saturday
afternoons and holidays, and its
general attitude toward, and ap-
proach to, the war have hampered
the full development Of the United
Nations war effort in Australia.
The labor attitude In the land

described as "complacency;" many
OF the workers seem primarily in

privileges.
