Nearly 5000 boy and girl school
patrols who do their bit every
morning and evening at the school
crossings shrieked with enthusiasm
at the Uline Arena last night as
they watched soldiers go through
their PAGES.
The 176th Infantry Regiment
stationed at Anacostia, produced a
real show for the school patrol
safety rally. including rides about
the arena in "jeeps," exhibitions of
many modern arms, tugs Of war,
shan battle, radio transmission
problem and partial preparation of
an Army meal
The arena echoed with laughter
as 20 privates on physical train
ing squad accidentally knocked
a huge medicine ball. The watch
ing officers went over like tenpins
as the ball bounced from the hands
of the men onto their heads.
Girls Ride In Jeep.
The few girl patrols in Washing
ton had their inning as one jeep
was designated especially to spin
them about the arena at fast clip.
The exhibition was designed to
show the training of the infantry
soldier, from marching, rife and
gas mask drill. transportation and
physical training. to special skills
like radio, medical, canteen, camou-
flage and chemical work.
The training was described by
officers over the amplifying system,
and a spotlight followed the soldiers
as they acted out training stages in
pantomine in the middle Of the
arena floor At the conclusion of
the exhibitions, sounds OF a battle
was reproduced while all the detail
rushed about on their particular
duties.
The exhibit was preceded by pro-
fessional entertainment acts and
four boxing exhibitions by members

era, the German revolution Of l848
and the Russian revolution OF 1918.
Each spoke for the common man in
terms of blood on the battlefield.
Some went to excess But the signlfl-
cant thing is that the people CROPPED
their way to the light. More of them
learned to think and work together
- The people are on the march
toward even fuller freedom than the
most fortunate peoples of the earth
have hitherto enjoyed. No Nazi
counter-revolution will stop it."
Thus Mr.. Wallace places Nazidom
in it's true place as counterrevolu-
ton, a manifestation of the age-old
authoritarian idea striving vainly to
hold back the upsurge of the COM
mon man toward liberty.
The Vice President continued: 1T
is my belief that every freedom,
every right. every privilege has its
price, its corresponding duty without
which it cannot be enjoyed. The
four duties of the peoples revolu-
ton, as I see them today, are these:
Il. The duty to produce to the
limit.
q. The duty to transport as rap
idly as possible to the field Of battle.
"3. The duty to fight with all that
is in us.
a. The duty to build a peace
just, charitable and enduring"
The fourth duty Is that which
inspires the other three"
These words are signposts on the
road to victory and to the peace
which lies beyond victory and makes
victory worthwhile.
Those who write the peace" said
Mr.. Wallace, must think of the
whole world There can be no priv
ileged peoples. We ourselves in the
United States are no more master
race than the Nazis. And we cam
not perpetuate economic warfare
without planting the seeds of mill
tary warfare. If we really believe
that we are fighting for peoples
peace, all the rest becomes easy"
These brief quotations can serve
only to give fragmentary idea OF
the spiritual contents of the great
est speech on this war which has
been delivered by any public man
Of the United Nations since the con-
flict began. Comparing it to Lin
coins Gettysburg Address is fully
justified and will be indorsed by
posterity. The speech will be re-
printed by the Free World Associa-
ton, it is to be hoped, in sufficient
quantities to enable all of us, and
all our friends in other lands. to
read the simple words with which
Mr.. Wallace restates the faith OF
our fathers and, in that faith, points
out our path onward and upward
into the calm light Of q Just, chart-
table and enduring peace.

Even the formation OF supreme
war council, composed Of person.
ages Of the highest political author
ity IN their respective countries,
sitting at Washington under the
craftsmanship OF Mr.. Roosevelt and
aided by thoroughly competent
military men and economic staffs-
even all this when We have gained
it, will be insufficient for the dlrec-
ton and conduct of this war unless
unity of command is supported by
unity of spirit and of will among
the peoples Of the United Nations
whose combined efforts the Supreme
War Council must direct.
There has been a crying need
for a simple, clear and honest re-
statement of the purposes and OBJ
iectiyes of this war In words which
the common man everywhere, In
the Americas and in Britain, In
India and in China, in Russia and
in the conquered lands Of Europe
can understand and make his own
and be willing to die for, If need be.
Common Mans Greed Needed.
There has been need for a creed
of the common man, fiery cross to
which he could rally, standard
to which the wise and virtuous
might repair. leaving the event In
the hands of God.
Fortunately, in this hour OF our
worlds greatest crisis. this need
has been filled. Unfortunately, the
fact has passed almost unnoticed
by the press of the United Nations
though not SO by commentators OF
insight and vision.
The need for a common mans
creed for victory and peace was
filled by the Vice President Of the
United States, Mr.. Henry A. Wal
lace, in his address to the Free
World Association in New York City
on May 7 of this year. This writer
was fortunate enough to be present
and to hear the Vice Presidents
words They were words that should
be read and re-read by every Amer
ican, and by every citizen Of every
one Of the United Nations now en-
gagged in this great struggle for the
rights of the common man.
The Vice Presidents address was
the first by any public man here
or elsewhere which placed this war
in its true historical perspective
against the background Of the cen
turies old struggle for human
liberty.
Revolutions Reviewed.
THE march of freedom for the
past $50 years." said Mr.. Wallace,
has been a long, drawn-out peoples
revolution. In this great revolution
of the people there were the Amer
ican revolution Of ITS, the French

Ottawa, May 16.-Repfesentatives
of 13 of the United Nations meet
here Monday for the Inter-Allied
Air Training Conference, which avi-
alton authorities rate as a major
event in the war effort and trib-
ute to Canadian hard work and re-
sourcefulness.
Participants are to be the United
States, Canada, Britain, Australia,
New Zealand South Africa, China
the Netherlands, Belgium, Norway,
Greece, Poland and Czechoslovakia.
The importance attached by. the
United States to the discussions Is
indicated by the presence in its dele

commander of the Army Air Forces;
Robert A. Lovett, Assistant Secre-
tary of War for Air, and Artemus
Gates, assistant Secretary Of the
Navy for Air.
Manpower Pool Planned.
On the word OF Canadian Air
Minister Charles G. Power, the
conference is not expected to pre-
duce discussions of the higher
strategy, but will strive for pooling
of manpower, as aircraft are pooled,
despite national pride and differ
ences of languages and customs.
Canada is expected to make a
valuable contribution to such a
system because since September
26. 1899, the government and Royal
Canadian Air Force have carried
almost the whole load of British
commonwealth air training pro-
gram that has furnished thousands
Of flyers who now are carrying the
air war home to the Axis.
Starting practically from scratch,
the Canadians have built a train
ing establishment which grew to
more than 80 air schools, 30-odd re-
ceiving centers for recruits, and
bases for ground crews. 1t is break
ing no military condolences to say
that this has produced more than
10000 airmen.
Training Ahead Of Schedule.
What Is more, the program hit
peak production six months ahead
of schedule, much to the surprise.

Scarcely a day passes which does
not affirm and reafirm the need for
a supreme political and military di-
rection of this War-an inter Allied
high command.
This is a total and global war be-
ing fought by the free people Of all
the world in every continent and On
every ocean of the world. The enemy
is completely unified. The Germans
in Europe and the Japanese in Asia
each possess political and military
institutions which enable those re-
spective governments to control the
whole of the resources at their COM
mand and to use these resources
with maximum efficiency and single
ness of purpose. Everything that
the United Nations undertake must,
on the other hand, be joint opera
ton, requiring consultation and
agreement on the part of two or
more of the nations concerned.
1t should be clearly understood
that these United Nations decisions
must be primarily political decisions.
that is, policy must be agreed upon
before strategy can take form. A
combined general staff is not
enough; such a staff cannot serve
half a dozen political masters. The
unified high command must there
fore begin on the highest level of
political authority, and only when
proper inter-Allied agency deal
ing with matters of high policy has
been established can an inter-
Allied general staff begin to func-
tion smoothly and efficiently.
Washington Must Be Center.
Strategy is the handmaiden Of
policy and military decision can be
reached only as the result Of politi-
cal decision.
For practical reasons, both mate
rial and geographic, it is plain that
the center of high direction for this
war must be at Washington.
This being the case, 1t Is inescapa-
BILE that the chairman Of any Inter
Allied Supreme War Council must
be the President Of the United
States.
This is made doubly necessary
by the fact that Mr.. Roosevelt has
become, in the eyes and the hearts
OF freedom loving people every
where, conquered and unconquered,
q personal symbol Of hope and in
spiration.
He thus brings to the task OF
1nter-Allied leadership not only his
great abilities as a commander-in
chief, but he gives to that task the
element Of personal leadership.
Together they form, so to speak,
the spark-plug of the powerful and
complicated engine Of command.
Dut even this will not be enough.
