there was q feeling Of holiday.
The telephone operator in the
little village near our farm broke
the routine Of number, please"
to inquire whether it wasn't
swell about Macarthur; the
farmers drifting into the store
noted with pride that they
guessed things would begin to
move one of these days.
And on the trains Canadians
and Americans congratulated
each other-Britain and the
United States-without a trace
of national jealousy. only in
mutual happiness that the war
had thrown up a leader in the
English-speaking world already
idolized in the most remote
places.
Much has been written about
MacArthurs appointment. but
there Is one point that cannot, I
think, be emphasized too much.
Why does the whole English
speaking world love Macarthur?
They love him because he is an
ideal Of character. And all their
instincts tell them that in the
end 1t Is character that will win
the war.
Heroic Retreat.
For, to date, Macarthur has
no military victory to his credit
except the victory Of heroic re-
sistance. Actually, he had to re-
treat and retreat and retreat in
the Philippines, finally to take his
stand in the Bataan Peninsula
and Corregidor.
Yet in his retreat, as in the
Russian retreat, there was never
the sense of defeat and always
the conviction of eventual coun-
terof1ense and final victory. And
it is interesting that no one in
the world has better understood
the glory and brilliance of the
Russian campaign than MacAr-
thur, who from his remote island
sent an historic telegram to the
Red Army, characterizing their
retreat and offensive as the most
remarkable campaign in human
history.
The Japanese leader against
Macarthur, Gen. Homma. ac-
cepted defeat in spite Of his vic
tories. He committed suicide.
That was even more than Mar
shal Timoshenko achieved, al
though there are parallels here,
too. Gen. Reichenau is dead
and we don't know quite how.
And Won Brauchitsch. Timo-
shenko's main enemy, had to re-
sign, after invading Russia to the
very gates Of Moscow. Tlmo-
shenko forced Hitler to take COM
mand of the Russian campaign
himself. And finally, even Hitler
has suffered a defeat, because he
has had to abdicate and bring
back Won Brauchitsch, If yester-
days reports from Bern are
correct.
The Russians certainly haven't
won this war, up until now, and

Macarthur Gives America Psychological
Upsurge Through His Heroic Character

rible hazards Of the spring. And
In the Pacific We have only a
faint smell Of possible victory.
But in and through a few ade-.
quate leaders, we rediscover our
selves and confidence in ourselves
is restored.
Because Of great leaders, people
know that they are q great peo-
pie. That was Winston Churchill's
supreme function in the disas-
trous spring of 1940-a function
that can never be undone by his
tory. He called England to her
self. And that has been Mac
Arthur's greatest contribution to
America: He he's called America
to herself.
As the British people said Of
Churchill: He Is Britain! So the
American people say Of Mac
Arthur: He Is America!
A little thing Is 50 revealing.
Macarthur did not evacuate his
wife and little son from the
Philippines, and he took them
with him to Australia. Think
what 1t means. He takes with
him his America; he takes with
him that which he has the most
immediate passion to defend-his
personal home. He takes with
him his own hostages. I hope
the Donovan Committee is point
ing out this fact in short-wave
broadcasts. Because in that ges-
ture Is the whole will to victory.
And what a wife! She Is
America, too. The Macarthur
family is transplanted to Aus
tralia-the certain proof that
there is no monkey business about
this fight. Herewith, Macarthur
puts himself in the same position
Is every Australian soldier-for
home and country.
But don't start saying Hall
Macarthur Would that make
him sore.
Hail America, and the United
Nations Of the world!
All military offensives begin by
q psychological offensive. The
legend of invincibility has been
q major asset Of the Axis in this
war. And it has been possible to
trace the collapse Of the Axis
psychological offensive in Hitler's
speeches.
The German and the japanese
Armies are formidable still-ter-
ribly formidable. But Hitler's
prime support from the begin
ming has been confidence in his
own theories: that the luxury
loving and decadent democracies
would not fight; that Russia was
ripe for disintegration and coll
lapse; that the world was push
over.
Character Is Destiny.
But the world is no pushover.
Month by month the feeling
mounts; the British become more
dogged with every setback: the
Russians display q flaming fury
of patriotism; the Americans
awaken and throw up military
leader in their proudest tradi-
ton. Hitler becomes gloomy
and his lack of self-assurance IS
most clearly indicated in his in
sistent repetition that he did not
want this war at all. Oh, yeah?
Napolean said. Politics is des-
tiny"-and Hitler believed him.
Walther Rathenau said. ECO
nomics is Destiny"-and Hjalmar
Schacht believed him.
But the ancient Greeks, wiser
than either of them, said, Char
acter Is Destiny"-and their con-
temporary descendants believed
that, and lost-for the time being.
America has always believed
the ancient Greeks. Washington
did; Lincoln did, and so does
Gen. Douglas Macarthur.
