LICK HITLER FIRST?

Rear Admiral Yates Stirling, Jr. U. S. N, retired,
writes in a recent issue of the Cincinnati Enquirer
that the defeat Hitler is the first goal of the Al
lied troops and that it has been decided in London
and Washington that the bulk of British American
military strength this year shall be thrown against
Adolf Hitler.
Rear Admiral Stirling says that it is safe to as
sumo that the domain of Hitler is easier to attack
than that of Emperor Hirohito that Germany is but
stones throw from the great land and air
bases into which the British Isles have been con-
yerted.
Stirling sees the immediate task of the United
States in the Pacific that of guarding vital
base in Hawaii, to the safety of Alaska, and
to protect the supply line of troops in Australia.
We hesitate to disagree with a military expert,
but it seems to us that at the same time we must
make sure of our defenses in the Pacific. And in
modern the only good defense is to smash out
with better offense than the enemy can.
At the same time should allow the Japan

fields to conquer-closer to home

SOLDIERS OPINION

The following letter was written by soldier in
a training camp in the United States 1t presents
a problem that comes up in every war The soldier
is an American citizen who is going to have to do
his part paying for the war after it's over. He
doesn't like to see the OF the war mount up as
wages climb
At the same time in ordeY to secure men for
jobs in war production workers have been offered
higher wages than they could get elsewhere. But
there is no question in cur mind but what every
soldier who sees men who are serving their country
in lesser capacity than himself get many times
more in return has legitimate for com
planning
The letter follows:
"A few days ago my brother, 19-year-old col
lege sophomore, received from a friend a letter urg-
ing him to go to work in a defense plant He would
receive $l25 an hour for ten hours CT work. Thus.
at job for which he had no training skill, my
brother would earn a weekly salary far beyond his
most optimistic dreams.
There is evidently an abundance of this kind of
employment fer I know scores of people who are
serving their country by holding down such defense
Jobs and who collecting similar boom-time pay
checks Included in this group many who have
been rejected by The Army because Of minor physical
defects.
we in the armed forces are disappointed
and resentfu of this civilian trend We certainly do
not object to serving, fighting and giving lives
for our cause. But do protest strongly against
brethren who are filling our civilian occupations
and who are receiving much more money for their
labor than did for the same jobs. Our very po-
sition service men in a country at war has made
these jobs more valuable
Officers continually asking how young
like my brother be persuaded willingly to join
tho
at hcme And at home these men need not relnquish
their accustomed comforts pleasures and privileges
for the inconvenience which accompany Army life
The only solution to this grave problem is i'm
mediately to place ceiling wages and prices If
they go no higher, then we may hope that wages
and living costs will begin to decrease and approach
their more normal pre-war level"

the urge to do important work for

service by girls who contribute their
varied talents to the Army, Navy
and Air forces. Brilliant records
are forecast for many Americans
Real heroines among nurses may
not gain fame but they are to prove
their superior training and their
unflagging courage. Those who,
taking the advice of astrologers two
or three years ago, went into hospi-
tails for preparation for war service
now will prove their great value to
the nation.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Financiers

guard business after the war will

SUNDAY. MAY %

Benefic aspects dominate todaF
which should be fortunate Isl
those who seek to build up religious
organizations. Church music comes
under a sway that promises IN
crease of popular interest
HEART AND HOME: The usual
vacation plans this year will be
affected by odd changes. Families
that enjoy good sized incomes from
Government sources will have the
urge to travel over the United
States. and Canada will attract
MANY, but owners of country homes
will be inclined to remain in city
residence where they are engaged
in war work. This means that cot
tages will be occupied and large
houses turned over to the Red
/ Gross and other organizations which
can use them for hospitals or rest
homes for the many who need
them
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: General
prosperity will be apparent through
the Summer although many lines
of business will suffer heavy losses.
TIE motion picture industry will
feel the lack of its former substan-
tial returns from the Orient. Pur-
veyors of luxuries will have de-
pleted stocks; the economical in
clination of buyers will diminish
sales. Adjustments will be wide
spread and surprisingly successful.
Japanese colonies removed from
coastal areas will stimulate trade
in new locations.
NATIONAL ISSUES AS the in
evitable recognition of the power
and resources of the United States
promises future leadership for the
nation, Dominion populations will
form closer bonds with our Gov
eminent. Canada will be not only a
neighbor but a sister to Uncle Sam
and Australia will strengthen friend

Silver Spoon Officers
philadelphia Record

At the beginning of the Civil War there was an
unwritten law that each Congressman could name
one brigadier general. How we ever got any army
mobzed with tradition ike that seems miraculous
at this distance
But the situation became so serious that Lincoln
finally set up the requirement that every brigadier
general must have military experience
We've come a long way since 1861 in the appoint
ment of generals, just as we've long way in
development of the draft
But-we have been handing out far too many
commissions to men unqualified for them, with
out military experience.
That's why the Record endorses the proposal of
Representative Faddis of Pennsylvania, written into
the pending Army pay bill. It requires that future
commissions be granted only to graduates of off
GERS training schools, National Guard and ROTC Of
ficers or those who have completed training at APP
proved military schools.
This is so obviously sensible we can't understand
why "quickie" commissions have been tolerated, ex-
cept in a few special emergency cases SECRETARY of
War Stimson movd to clamp down them weeks
ago but Congressional action should put final stop
to the practice,
This war won't be won by blind leading the blind
While the armed forces do have real use for a few
civilian specialists, the number is comparatively
small that it cannot explain the number of "qucke"
commissions that have been granted
Ccngressmen should welcome the Faddis proposal
as a for protecting them from the demands
of influential constituents for commissions for their
sons That such demands have been made is no
secret that favortes have gotten commissions is no
secret either.
This war won't be won by officers with silver
spoons in their mouths.
1t will be won by officers with brains in their
heads
Let's make sure our officers are the winning
kind.
