Heroism Not Enouqh

MEXICAN military and naval authorities in the South
"A Pacific have been puzzled" by the lack of Japanese
planes and surface units recently attacked and
interpret il evidence Of major operations being de-
veloped elsewhere by the enemy.
That Interpretation is almost certainly correct
The Japanese will surely attack again and they
powerfully equipped for the purpose
The American authorities evinclng commendable
aertness to this situation.
They not making the mistake of assuming the
japanese either crippled discouraged by their sharp
setbacks and very real defeats in recent actions
They anticipating attacks, and to the best
of their ability preparing for them
THAT, of course, is the dangerous and worrsome
/ factor in Our position in the South Pacific.
Ii will take than aertness TO turn back the
strong assaults the Japanese capable of making
against the positions have with difficulty and
hold precariously
1t will take more than the sheer courage and resource
fulness of men and commanders and than the
accuracy of guns and sturdness of ships and planes
1t will take at least an EQUALITY in men, ships,
planes and material, and probably and preferably
SUPERIORITY.
THE grave question is whether not the American
forces in the South Pacific have been and being
adequately supplied for their vital job
The is affirmative only If the American high
command has reversed its earlier policy of regarding the
against Japan in the South Pacific side issue to
the elsewhere.
Our war against Japan has been conducted far too
long as so-caled holding action" depending on the
japanese to over-extend themselves.
It has been conducted much too long of
attrition depending losses inflicted upon the
japanese to slow them up and to force them await
convenience for decisive and final action.
We should understand by that Japan is con-
Quoting major AGAINST Us.
IF WE do understand this basic fact know it will
i take major effort to turn her back
Japan is terrible menace to the United States
Japan Is powerful, and getting powerful every
day she is permitted TO consolidate her position the
vast and rich lands she has overrun.
Japan is ambitious and confident.
Japan is relentless and mercess
We should not try to meet enemy of this char
acter on less than terms trusting to heroic and
sacrficia actions like the cruisers San Francisco and
Boise conducted to release real strength to other
theaters Of war
WYE SHOULD wage war against Japan with
w everything muster for the purpose
Nothing less will check her further encroachments
upon the thinning barrcade of Pacific defenses which
shield Hawaii Australia, Alaska and the American main
, land.
Nothing less viii bring the day all Americans are
praying iorthe day when superb forces will begin
rolling the japanese invading hordes back along their
path Of conquest

today.
I've noticed that the team

up at Montreal last Saturday
night our boys laid a little too
much stress on fighting, and so
a great closing comeback went
for nothing. Sunday night here
the Canadiens had little more

same way now. OF course, il the
Frenchmen want to play rough

The Wings are reported in good
shape for the start of the playoffS,
