COMMON SENSE VIEW OF
SOLOMONS ACTION

In one way, ii is impossible to over
estimate the importance Of the combined
naval-land operations in the Solomon
islands against the Japanese, but in
another way il is altogether too easy to
oveIestimate IL
We are firmly convinced that the ac-
tion will result IN an American victory;
perhaps it Will have become plain before
this appears in print. 1t will be an i'm
portant victory mighty important
nC-because it will be the first victory
of this whole war IN which any one of
the United Nations outside of Russia has
launched an offensive action and car
ried it through successfully.
But in order to avoid that other dang
er of overestimating the victory when it
comes, the American people should re-
member this: it is just a beginning.
The scales are still balanced against
us, and will remain so no matter how de-
csively we defeat the Japs in the Solo
mons. The Importance of the action
there is not so much for what it is, as for
what it promises in the future.
We have no reason to whoop with
JOY and adopt the attitude that the war
is won, Just because our forces are driy-
ing the enemy out of one string of Is
lands. The hardest fight is still ahead
and that goes for civilians as we'll as
the army and navy.
The fact is that even while our men
are winning their first offensive in the
Solomon Islands, our side continues TO
take a worst beating in Europe The
SolomOns Islands action cannot any more
compare in Importance with the battle of
Russia than 4 gnat bite could compare
with a bullel wound.
Let us rejoice when final victory comes
TO our men in the Solomon Islands, but
let us not take their feat as signal for
reducing our pressure on the home front.
1t should be, instead, a sign to us to
redouble our efforts, for it will have
proved that an offensive is possible if
only we all work together.
Let's exercise common sense, realizing
the importance of the honor that goes to
our fighting men in the Pacific, but
realizing also that this is a war of many
fronts, where victory on one should be
only an additional spur toward victory
on all.

CLARK GABLE

Hollywoods loss is Americas gain in
enlistment of Finn actor Clark Gable
as q buck private in the United States
army.
Gable, one Of the few human beings
produced by the film colony in the last
two decades, refused to apply for a com
mission, refused to accept special hOnors,
complained against occupying special
compartment in an east-bound train un-
til ne tounu mat he and one OTHER man
were q routine army shipment and in
general conducted himself in a manner
to win the applause o. the nation.
Too many Hollywoodites-we could
mention one younger than Gable now
serving as an OCD official in Washing
ton-have taken advantage of their no.
toriety TO obtain commissions of one sort
and another in various branches of SER
vice TOO few of them have, as Gable
did, demonstrated a willingness to begin
where the average American begins in
the army-at the bottom.
Gable, through many visits to Imperial
Valley, has become more or less we'll
known here as a likeable, democratic
chap in an unusual position, who accepts
publicity largely because it is necessary
to his profession, but does not go out
of his way to seek it. Imperial Valley
was not surprised by his enlistment as a
private, but we Join the rest Of the ma
ton in cheers for one man who asks no
special privileges.

COAL MANS OPPORTUNITY
(Wall Street JOurnaD

IVAN Slfeel JOuIHdl)
Some, probably no. ali, OF those coal
consumers who have attempted to fol-
low Washington's injunction to lay in Il
winter fuel supply during the summer
are still waiting delivery. Some coal deal
ers are making hand-to-mouth deliver
les of anthracite for current needs.
A great deal of the anthracite mined
tins summer has gone to hospitals,
schools and other public institutions
rather than to the individual consumer.
No one will quarrel with this procedure.
But the consumer who sees the autumn
approaching with his coal bin empty un-
doubtedly is puzzled to read that the
mines are working five days a week.
proposal has been made that they go on
a six-day basis, which will require a
change in the contract between the min
ers and the operators.
Both parties will ka we'll advised to
accept the change. Not only the general

s. Burton II cath
Writes:

We are beginning to reap the
sour fruit of our long refusal to
recognize the obvious. Even after
we actually were in the war as
allies of Great Britain, Russia and
China, We insisted publicly and
privately that we were not going to
enter the war. Now we are paying
for that ostrich-like absurdity.
This nations industry has done
an mbelievably fast and efficient
lob of converting from pianos to
planes, from baby carriages to
ships, from automobiles to tanks,
from cornets to shells.
In all probability industry will
prove itself capable of making, be
fore the calendar year ends, the
stupendous aggregate of seven bill
lion dollars worth of armament and
munitions and other war material

We won't accomplish that be-

vital raw materials, of which steel
and copper are best publici2ed and
perhaps most important.

Editorials and Comment
PRETTY THIN
FOR PROSECUTION
NEVADA State JOufnaD

NEVADA State Journal
Publication by the Chicago Tribune on
June Z of a dispatch describing in detail
the strength of the Japanese fleet as 1t
approached Midway Island has been
made the subject of an investigation by
tie department of justice. Attorney
General Francis Biddle has appointed
William D. Mitchell of New York as a
special assistant to present the case to a
federal grand jury which will determine
if the federal espionage act has been vlo-
lated.
The Chicago Tribune, which was pub
liShed three days after the battle of Mid
way, in which American forces drove the
Japanese to cover and inflicted heavy
losses, stated that the japanese fleet was
divided in three forces and gave 4 de-
scription of the types of ships employed
by the Japanese. The dispatch a lso stat
ed that the United States Navy knew in
advance that the japanese fleet was on
its way
The justice department says the in
Quiry was instituted at the request and
upon recommendation of the navy de-
partment
The Chicago Tribune, sharply critical
of the administration and often grossly
unfair in its editorial and news policy
involving the conduct of the war and the
conduct of the administration IN dealing
with problems at nome, is, however, an
American newspaper of high standards
and recognized throughout the world as
one Of the better newspapers.
It's editors are fully cogniZant Of their
responsibilities, and they will not, no
matter how critical they may be Of the
conduct of the war, publish anything
that is detrimental to its actual prose
cution of when would be of the least
military benefit to the japanese or any
of the Axis powers.
Had the Tribune or any others news
paper published the dispatch in advance
of the battle of Midway and thus dscos-
ed information which would have been
beneficial to the japanese, the navy de-
partment would be justified in demand
ing an inquiry.
The present inquiry is predicated on
such thin grounds that it smacks of per-
secution. It's outcome is of great i'm
pOrtance to the press of the nation and
to the American public. If the depart
ment of Justice succeeds in what seems to
lie a determination to muZzle critics OF
the administration by invocation of the
espionage act the time may come when
the public will receive no information
on the conduct of the war or the conduct
of any Of is public officials excepting the
prepared handouts from the bureaus.

WHEN YOU "MEOW",
THEY EXAMINE YOU

You say, judith is getting pretty
hippy, isn't she?"
And Mary, who listens, looks
YOU over and thinks, Not so slim
yourself, are you?" or YOU Ger
tainly should talk"
The point is, when you speak Of
Judith's defetcs you turn attention
to defects and it's just human
nature for your listener to consider
them in relation to the person
which is you.
And it works just as effectively
the other way round.
What q lovely hat!" you say
And both the one who wears it
and those in hearing look for your
assets. Politeness enters into this,
of course: social usage makes your
remark a challenge. But there's
something a little more important
than that involved. if the remark
is genuine.
OF course you know that nothing
is emptier, nor so instantly recog-
nized as empty flattery That is
no substitute for an appreciative
attitude which looks for assets and
reports them when they are there

by rule, however

Did it ever strike you that

the catty ones own defects?
The personality experts idea
that you never build yourself up
by tearing down someone else is
perfectly sound And it applies
especially to personal charms. In
fact, I'll go a step further. It's
worthwhile to look for the other
woman's charms and tell her about
them-honestly.
