All-Round Navy Man

This war has brought rapid advancement
for many officers. There's Jimmie Doolittle,
for example, who was a reserve officer when
the United States entered the conflict Now
he is major general, and we'll deserves
the rank. Then there's Henry Kent Hewitt
of the Navy. He a captain a few years
ago, and vice admiral now.
1t was Hewitt who organized and directed
the great armada which took American forces
to Africa, without slip and on the dot of
time. 1t was he who had to draft the full
program. He provided the ships for troops,
equipment, supplies and the naval craft for
conveying them safely to their destination.
Admiral Hewitt is striking example of
benefits of a general naval training and ex-
perience. Never cast in the role of specialist,
in perfected himself as master all-around
navy man. He has served actively in most
branches of the combat arm of the Navy
a task with such varied responsibilities was
to be performed, it was upon him that the
Navy department placed the burden
Admiral Hewitt seems to be the Navy S
counterpart of the general practitioner in med
icine-the family doctor who, eschewing spe.
cialization in any branch Of the profession
field May both tribes increase.

Why Not Goats?

When Robinson Crusoe had settled down
to existence on his island and began to survey
the possibilities of survival on the resources
his strange place of habitation afforded, he
conceived the idea of tanning wild goats and
establishing a herd from which he might get
milk and fresh meat. Capturing kids a n d
placing them in compound, feeding them
and bringing them to maturity, he watched
his little herd increase and thenceforth sat
down to porterhouses and tenderloins washed
down with beakers of milk. often as he
had an appetite, which was often enough,
we may be sure.
Robinson Crusoe, of course, is fiction. There
mt word of actual fact from cover to
cover But this episode Of the goats is worth
considering at this time in the good old U.S.A.
Down to this fine thirtieth of December,
1912, there has been no threat to ration goats
or their milk Cows milk will probably be
further limited in distribution; beef and NUT
ton are sure to be rationed, and the total
Her person, now small, probably will be re-
The Wilmington morning star., 1942-12-30

duced In the circumstances, is there any
good reason why herds of goats should not
be started?
Maybe kid meat is not as palatable as veal,
but it is nourishing, and certainly tastes bet
ter than jack rabbit. Furthermore, goats
milk possesses quantities lacking in cows milk.
And goats do not present serious feed
problem. They eat everything. Especial care
would have to be taken to keep them
out of clothes closets, but the simplest of
locks would solve that difficulty.

Self-DeterminatiOn

The feature of Vice President Wallaces
broadcast, in connection with the commemo-
ration of Woodrow Wilson's birthday, which
seems to give greatest promise for the future
of the entire world, was his reference to
sef-determination of all peoples.
He made it clear that the right to settle
internal issues and solve separate problems
must be left to nationals, whether of major
powers or colonial possessions within their
own borders.
AS the aim of the United Nations is to
free the world from the threat of total dom
ination by gangsters, it would be wrong ITO
leave any population group subject to the
dctation of a stronger power. To do so would
defeat the highest objective of the cause for
which we fight.

Raymond Clapper Says:
IT, S. Industry To Produce
Record WarGoods OUTPUT

big Detroit tank arsenal is n t
Chrysler's. 1t is the Government S,
built and operated by Chrysler for
the Government. All around those
plants are signs reminding en-
ployes that they are working with
Government property. Those plants
and dozens of others represent
enormous waste of public dollars,
unless you believe that any cost
is justified to win the war.
So when you look back on in
dustry's miracle of war produc-
ton. and look ahead to the great
volume that is still to come, just
tuck away somewhere back in your
mind the thought that it could not
have been done without Govern
ment extravaganza, without wild
shelling out of hard American dol
lars, on plants and on scarce ma
terials that had to be bought in
all corners of the world.
You can pull out that thought
when, in the future, someone looks
back and says we won the war
but we were Wasteful. The only
way to avoid the waste and ex-
travagance of war is to join with
other nations. and organize forces
so that no aggressor can start an
other war You won't get rid of
the evils of war unless you get
rid of war.

A Job For McNutt

The manpoWer problem is not limited to
war industries or agriculture, although these
are the activities which have received the
greter attention of government. The pro-
lem includes all business, and particularly
retail stores hotels and restaurants.
There is not a store in Wilmington that
had sufficient staff for the Christmas rush.
No hotel is fully manned with competent help.
No public eating place is able to employ
enought workers to serve the greatly increased
number of patrons in the average week, to
say nothing of holiday such as Christmas
is most heard among restaurant keepers is
that the help refused to work or that volun-
teers were too few. Undoubtedly this had
something to do with it. 1t was not the only
reason, we may believe but partially ac-
counted for the breakdown in service when
the need was greatest.
Restaurant help wouldn't work on Christ
mas because, to the last person, the strain
of overwork had been too great for long days
before. The same story of overwork is true

employed in stores and restaurants have not

trade they expected to serve.
Clearly, this is something for the manpower
commission to grapple with, if essential bus-

operation and the masses of American people
are to be kept fit for the tasks they must
perform in the interest of ultimate victory.

TRAVEL COURSES
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Holy Writ says: Take no thought
for tomorrow; sufficient unto the
day is the evil thereof This does
not forbid a peep into the future
and to make an effort to incul-
cate some good into the morrow.
After war bonds have been re-
deemed and the nations are max
ing peace plans, it would be wise
to form a commission to encour-
age international travel. Instead
of spending millions on the old
school system, huge buses should
be used for education-travel courses
for the Western Hemisphere, and
as pupils graduate from this course
they would be promoted to an Euro
asia trip by means of ships fitted
for it. Buses and ships to be
manned by the pupils with ex-
ception of a qualified instructor,
a woman for the girls and man
for the boys, and in no case should
such units (college) be co-educa-
tional, for the purpose should be
to build up cultural relations be-
tween the nationals rather than
among themselves.
An educational program of this
kind would cause the youths of all
nations to strive for and deport
themselves in such a way as to
merit the entrance requirement
which should be strict from the
standpoint of morals and health.
A postwar society or league that
would develop t h social rather
than the monetary instincts of man.
kind would be more apt to pre-
vent future conflicts than stress
on trade agreements, booty, etc.
Most of US Americans favor dem
ocratic government, however world
trend are the other way: hence
the suggestion this program be
government sponsored and fl
nanced.

The War In 1913

Even though there is great probability that
Russian claims of Nazi losses are exagger-
ated it is obvious that Hitlers forces on
the Eastern front are in bad way.
Both in the Caucasus area and near Stall
ingrad great numbers slowly being trap
ped Counter-attacks have but added to their
casualties without regaining foot of lost
territory. And now the Russians are rapidly
closing in an Rostov, the supply terminal
for all Axis forces in the southern half of
the Eastern battle line.
Hitler's losses in planes, tanks, trucks, guns
and general supplies have been so heavy
that even he cannot hope to pour in replace
ments in men and material in sufficient vol
ume to check the Red advance, especially
as he is under strong compulsion to concen-
trate all the fighting strength he can assem-
BILE for the showdown in Tunisia, which is
soon to come.
The Russian stand has been the most sig
nifcant development in this war. Without 1t
Hitler would have completely overrun Europe
and now be on his way to shake hands with
Hirohto in India With it, there is no good
reason to doubt that the tide in the European
war has finally turned in favor of the United
Nations, and with full cooperation in united
assault of all forces in position to strike,
the European phase of the global war may
be brought to triumphant close before 1943
ends.
The situation in the Pacific is not so clear.
r-l- Inn
the exception of the naval victories in the
Coral sea, at Midway and in the Solomons,
are not to be mistaken for major successes.
At best they are but the first steps in an
offensive yet to be started Not until Rabaul
and Tobruk have been destroyed and the Japa-
nese thrown out of eastern and southern China
and their last toehold in the Aleutians wiped
out, can the attack on Japan itself be under
taken.
How long these preliminary operations will
require is at BEST sheer guess-work. But
there is one element which could speed the
attack on Japan That is the consolidation
of American and British naval and air power
in the Pacific, following final defeat of Hitler
in Africa and Europe
At present both this nation and Britain are
compelled to scatter their navies over wide
stretches of the seven seas. The same is
true of their air power. Convoy service IN
the Arctic the Atlantic, the Pacific and Indian
oceans, and the guarding of farflung danger
points, has prevented any great concentra-
tons of air and naval strength, save for the
biggest of all armadas which took our troops
to Africa With Hitler eliminated and Europe
policed, Britain and the United States would
be free to drive with their combined strength
on Tokyo using Rabaul and Tobruk, now ia
pans chief bases, as spring boards, and China,
as the chief air and supply base for the final
campaign.
Thus the defeat of Hitler will effect the
length of the war in the Pacific If he is
speedily eliminated total victory will come
the sooner.
