instance of the general malaise in the
direction of our affairs that is depriving
the people of this country of their legiti-
mate share in winning this war. Ger
many has lost the war surely enough,
but what voice shall we have in human
destiny when the great age of recon-
struction dawns? That our people have
contributed a very large number OF
casualties because they were badly
equipped, unsupported and misdirected
will hardly suffice to establish serious
claim upon the worlds attention.
We have to do better than we have
done as a people. And we have to do
better now And unless we have some

revolutionary cleansing that will re-
lease us from the incubus of these people

disciplinarian his sincere affection for
the Philippine people inspired in the
Filipino soldier liking and love for him.
Filipinos in all walks of life went to him
for advice. They knew he was wise IN
political and economic matters as well
as in military. They were thrilled no
end by his grandiloquence, which they
promptly dubbed 'MacArthurian style"
President Roosevelt doubtless did the
wise thing in ordering Gen. Macarthur
to a wider field of operations. The
Commander in Chief deserved the uni
versal praise poured upon him.
The Axis propagandists are making
fun of some Congressmen's description
of the move as the wars best news The
description is no exaggeration. and even
the Axis propagandists doubtless know
why. Gen. MacArthur's record Is not
one of excuses but of making the best
of what is on hand.
Filipinos Proud Of Hero
During the battle of the Philippines
when the American and Philippine peo-
pies naturally expected help from the
United States would be promptly de-
livered to the embattled islands and
that aid never arrived and would not
for an indefinite time, Gen. Macarthur
always sent to Washington the worst
news lined with cheerful, hopeful words
OF determination to fight to the end
Even during crushing days he managed
to take the initiative from the enemy
and dealt him surprising, successful
attacks.
No wonder the Philippine people are
happy to contribute Macarthur of the
Philippines to the United Nations. The
leadership he has demonstrated in the
Philippines is the kind that can win this
war.
Filipinos will not easily succumb to
japanese Establishment and propaganda,
especially now that Gen. Macarthur has
announced from his headquarters In
Australia that redemption Of the Philip
pines remains a prime objective of his
They know that 1t. Gen. Jonathan M
Wainwright, MacArthur's successor at
Bataan, is q competent soldier who
knows Philippine defense well. They
doubtless will give him the same kind
OF loyalty that they have been giving
to their own Gen. Macarthur.

At the. Far North, Red troops still held

Soviet guerrilla and parachute units
claimed reoccupation or domination Of
5000 square miles Of territory once
overrun by Nazi troops.
Russian successes in the center sector
likewise were claimed during the week
as this front moved even
Germons further from Moscow.
Pressed Closest foothold now re-
tanned by German units on
the way to the Red capital is that pre-
cariously maintained in Gzhatsk, 100
miles west. but in midweek Soviet sources
said the Nazi garrison was completely

Heaviest Bolshevik pressure of this

concentrated assaults were made on Ger

and before Kharkov. great industrial
city of the Donets Basin.
To the German people, Adolf Hitler
on Monday promised that this summer

Gen. Stilwell. At present these able
defense forces are manning positions
running roughly along the Burma-Thai-
land frontier from the China boundary,
swinging northward above Jap-occupied
Rangoon and joining with British forces
in the Irrawaddy Valley-spinal column
of this entire vital area.
Up this junction sector, incidentally,
may come the principal japanese effort
to split Burma and eventually to cut
China of entirely from India and her
supply routes to the outside world.
AS in other portions of this Far East
ern war, the Japs have numerous ad-
vantages by todays
Burmese measurements. Again,
Comooion however, firming Of
United resistance might
halt enemy advances at one or the other
of the defense lines indicated on the
accompanying map. Success in this di-
rection would permit continued supply
movements to China and would allow
time for resolving the delicate Indian
political problem to point where the
vast resources Of that country might
also be modified into active partnership
against the Axis.
In addition to the supply task and
the important command responsibility
already vested in Gen. Stilwell. American
air power appears destined to be an i'm
portant contribution in this theater. Es-
tablishment of United States air head
quarters in India was announced at New
Delhi on Monday and the swashbuckling
Flying Tigers" already have reorganized
their fighting strength since withdrawal

On Other Fronts

The location of some Of these CAM
paigns has not yet been fixed, either by
the Axis strategists who have picked
most of the battle sites Of the war thus
far or by Allied planners who may some
day soon initiate action Of our choosing.
One likelihood is that there will be
intensified activity in the area anchored
roughly between Iceland. Ireland, Scot
land, Norway and Russias Arctic coast.
On Tuesday of last week 1t was dis
closed that German authorities had
closed all Norwegian ports from Mort
Cape to Aalesund, with important Na1
naval strength including the new bat
tleship Tirpitz known to be in that
vicinity. Whether this action is pre-

in key positions-wfo are so blinded by
commercial, social and religious pref
udices as to want to see Russia defeated
in this war, even at the cost Of our own
defeat.
But such positive traitors are the ex-
ceptions in our national solidarity. The
greater mischief does not come from
them, but from the profound conceit
and snobbishness that still pervades our
upper and more pretentious classes
They are not traitors; they are encum-
bering blockheads. They are badly
educated; they are stupid and ill-read;
but they stick like limpets to an illusion
Of superiority. They must give orders,
they feel, or perish; and nothing must
be done without their permission.
They cannot endure the possibility of
an equaitarian world Nor can they
adapt themselves to the ever-increasing
pace of events. With long tradition of
social security and social advantage be-
hind them. to this day they still cling
to their. advantages, insist that every
thing shall be dependent upon their ap-
proval and refuse to be flustered and
hurried. 1t is so distasteful to them to
think that the old upper class and
lower class" order of things has gone
forever that they will not believe it has
gone forever.
"The Better-Not Brigade"
The war. they agree, is a confounded
nuisance, of course, but it is transitory,
just as the last war was transitory; if
only they dig their heels in, they are
persuaded that everything will come
back presently just as 1t used to be.
Everywhere at crucial points in the
public machinery you find this type
''the better-not brigade" Men go to them
with the most explicit proposals; they
offer their brains and their lives. Moth
ing ensues The matter is well in hand"
they are told. Hong Kong was well in
hand" Singapore was well in hand"
That spring offensive will be well in
hand" BY 1943, perhaps.
With face of blank resistance to real
ity, with facts hushed up and initiative
humbugged and suppressed at every
point, our country saunters through a
world at war to insignificance. Social
tension Is unavoidable because these peo-
pie have to get out Of the way now.
The slogan for Britain now is: CO.
Get on or get out!"

Here is something for every Briton who
does not want this war to end In defeat

is a quintessential case. Here ere the

when 17-year- old Home Guard Ro-
land Parry of Wooperton street, Wey-
mouth, an apprentice filter, read that
home guards were to be issued pixies it
set him thinking. He made himself
tommygun from odd parts and his
platoon tested it. But his enthusiasm
sagged when the police took it away.
1T sagged still more the next day
when the Weymouth magistrate fined
him ten shillings for having a firearm
without certificate.
"'This sort of thing the magistrate
told him, is very dangerous"
And it is. Roland Parry is sent back
to play the fool with his pike until maybe
presently he is shot up by German
parachutist with tommygun while the
Weymouth magistrate looks around for
the next excuse to snub intelligence and
militant enthusiasm.
Russian Way Different.
In Russia this story would have ended
quite differently. The Russians want to
win the war and they are winning the
war. They never waste a man if they
can help it. Roland Parry would have
been recognized at once as the right sort
Of young man to promote. He would
have been supplied with material and
help And what would have happened to
the Weymouth magistrate in that dis
respectful but, from the military point
Of view, exemplary country might have
been extremely disagreeable. He would
have found other vigorous, common
young men like Roland Parry asking
him questions, ordering him about and
finding some useful subordinate Job for
him-f he was found capable OF doing
any useful subordinate Job.

These drama packed words were
spoken with an economy that scarcely
does justice to the full
MocArthuTs story of the "break
Exhibit through" and to the in
tent which is to be i'm
plemented thereby. The first declaration
was typically we'll known to all who have
followed the gallantry Of Bataan. The
second pronouncement was an echo of
conflrmatory determination by Australia,
voiced by Prime Minister Curtin.
With certainty, it cannot be told how
Macarthur made his way through or
over, $500 miles of Jap-controlled ocean
area. Two black nights in wave-hop-

of the thousands of islands with an

how establish the means for attack.

of miles of coastline against which vastly

any number of surprise assault forces.

In either Of the latter cases it would
mean initial joining Of battle between

Iceland and Northern ireland are both

slavian victim OF the Delaware coast
described his attacker as "a cruiser sub,

Atlantic Coast shipping was ordered by
the Navy Department to put into har-
prescribed lanes of travel. At the same
time, an increase in the East Coast
patrol protection was announced.
A new phase of this protection in the
Caribbean area was disclosed in midweek
with release of censored stories from
Guatemala that a great American air
base had been commissioned in that
country and that long-range patrol
planes we're operating from there on
both sides of the Central American
isthmus.
And just to make sure there would be
no shortage in aviation supply, President
Roosevelt asked Congress on Wednesday
to appropriate 81, ,57s, 900 900 for the War
Department, with s8,515 900 900 of this
total being allocated to the Air Corps.
Two diplomatic maneuvers seemed Of
importance this week as Prime Minister
Churchill stirred interest and contro-
versy by naming Richard G. Casey, Aus
tralian Minister to Washington, to the
post OF British Minister of State to rep
resent the war cabinet at Cairo. Can

ties did not approve removal of Mr..
Casey from Washington, even though
the appointment marks the first such
honor to a dominion official.

forces. Supply problems, too, are great
with Australia sufficient only in
foodstuffs, while her oil end industrial
production fall short of any major re-
quirements.
On the offensive side, these disabilities
count even more heavily, although main
tenance of American supply lines across
the Pacific could eventually provide the
sinews for great effort in this theater
of war. Accompanied by simultaneous
American offensive action against Japan
proper, perhaps from Alaska or perhaps
from Russian Siberia, this could mark
the beginning of counterpincers cam
paign against Nippon.
From the beginning of the week, the
stern measure of Aussie resistance and
the growing strength of
Allied Allied aviation were being

Overwhelming Jap

japanese offense was disclosed here on
Wednesday with announcement that
American and Australian air forces had
smashed at two Nip naval concentrations
near New Guinea harbors, for toll Of
% Jap ships damaged or sunk. Two
heavy cruisers and five transports were
placed in the destroyed category.
From Canberra came reports that
sizable fleet of American submarines
also was being assembled for raiding
operations against extended Jap supply
lines and one undersea fighter completed
a 15000-mile foray during this past week
claiming $4,000 tons of enemy shipping

by Flying Fortress assaults on enemy
