SOLOMON ATIACK-A TEST

1lSlQS 1dCL dDOuL tue dtldSh Oll TIC
Solomon islands is that it was very
carefully planned six weeks in ad-
vance, and was different from any
other naval action in the Pacific.
u. S. naval raids on the Gilbert
and Marshall islands were hit and
run affairs. There our navy had
no idea of enemy strength, but de-
pended on quick surprise hits and
speedy withdrawal.
In the battle of the Coral sea also,
we were able to take the Japs by
surprise. And in the battle of Mid
way, we knew the enemy was COM
ing, while the Japs did not know We
knew.
But in the Solomon islands battle,
our reconnaissance planes had made
advance surveys and we knew fair
ly accurately the size of the enemy
knew also that we were up against
a tough job that would exact heavy
cost.
There is every reason to believe,
too, that the Japs knew about our
preparations, because troop trans
ports cannot be loaded and brought
within striking distance without enc
my scouting planes sighting them
Therefore, this was a real test In
more ways than one.
For instance, this was the first
time land, air and sea forces all
have co-operated in single strik-
ing force.
Upon the final outcome of that CO.
operation will depend whether the
United States follows the advice Of
many high army-navy stratesists
and concentrates more on the Pa
cific than on Europe.
BRITAIN'S FUTURE
A U. S. official, back from Lon
don, tells of standing in line for
breakfast at the Hotel Waldorf. Just
ahead of him he heard an English
lady say:
"After this war is over, We'll have
to fight war of independence to
save ourselves from becoming the
49th state of the United States"
This semi-good-natured, semi
grousing attitude, according to
Americans returned from London, is
rather typical of the apprehension
which exists as to what will happen
to Britain after the war.
There is no hostility in this, but
realistic awareness that the war is
Strengthening United States ties,
and weakening British ties, with
Australia, Canada and Africa.

The isolationists declared this would
pave the way to war and the inter-
ventionists won.
The interventionists declared we
had to have the lease lend bill to
keep us out of war. Again the iso-
lationists warned of the consequences
and again the interventionist forces
won.
The interventionists insisted we
had to divide the American navy
putting part of it in the Pacific and
part in the Atlantic. The isolation
lists claimed this was flashing the
green light to Japan but the inter-
ventionists had their way.
The interventionists controlled the
policy which sold millions of tons of
oil and scrap iron to Japan while we
loaned money to China but when
the isolationists objected they were
told this was the way to keep 'short
of war;"
The interventionist-mind admin
istration put Admiral Kimmel, Pres
ident Roosevelt and General Short
in charge of our defenses of Hawaii
and when they went to sleep and
the Pearl Harbor attack followed
we were told the court martial would
be held after the war.
The isolationists begged that at
least we build up our own air force
and national defenses before we go
challenging the world and before we
talked of clicking Japan between
breakfast and dinner on some sunny
day." but they were howled down.
The isolationists felt we were like
the man with flabby muscles who
cracks Joe Louis on the jaw when
he is not prepared to fight and when
Joe is looking for a chance to fight
anyway.

First of all, 1 want to thank you
for the copies of the good old Askov

in. I think that it is an excellent
idea. 1t helps us keep tab on the

am sure that the rest of the boys
feel the same way about it. We are
all in here, with our noses "to the
grindstone," sooner or later our
noses will be so tough, that neither
German or Jap will be able to make
them bleed. All kidding aside, we
are plenty tough right now and ready
and willing for anything.
The twelfth of May, I moved up
from Buck Private to Corporal's
rank, so now I am proudly display
ing two chevrons.
Well, I'll sign off for now. Thanks
again for the "Honor Roll" Keep
it up.

BilbO Bill Means
TOtalitarianisn
for i. S.
BY Frederick ]. Libby
in "Peace Action"

On March % bill was introduced
in the Senate Is. 2397) by Senator
Bilbo of Mississippi, which he wants
called the "Total Mobilization Act"
1t is, as its name implies, pro-
gram for the total mobilization of
men and women and property in the
United States for prosecution of the
wars in which we are engaged.
If enacted into law, either piece
meal or as a whole in the hysteria
occasioned by some war crisis, this
monstrous bill would transform the
United States into totalitarian ma
ton. Every man and woman of
eighteen years of age or over-there
is no top limit-would be required,
first to register and then to work
where the President might put him
and for such wages as the President
might determine. Similarly all pro-
perry would be subject to requisition
by the President upon payment of
such compensation as the President
might determine. If the owner was
dissatisfied with the price paid, he
would receive half of it and could
sue the government for the balance
which he felt was due him. When
the government was through with
the use of the property, the owner
could buy it back at such value as
the President might set upon it,
with the same right of recourse to
the courts if the price was not sat-
isfactory.
The President announced on May
l that plans for compulsory registra-
ton of women for work in NUM-
tions plants and other war work
have been abandoned for the pres
ent. The reason given is that there
is no immediate need for conscript-
ing our women, but don't overlook
the words 'for the present"
Send to your Congressman or one
of your Senators for copy of the
Bilbo bill. Mark we'll its contents.
Then tell your congressman, your
Senators and the President precisely
what you think of it. Remember
that the proposal to draft all of the
men and women in the country and
tell them where they are to work
was endorsed as early as March 10
by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt in her
column, ''My Day." General Hugh
johnson on March Is, shortly be-
fore he died, commented on Mrs
Roosevelt's plan as ga complete Nazi
pattern of forced labor" ''The di-
rect draft of labor he said, comes
very close to the Supreme Courts
definition of slavery under our Con-
stitution-enforced employment for a
private master, not in punishment
for crime"
This bill is not law yet in the
United States. It will never become
law as long as the American people
are worthy of their great traditions
of freedom and courage.
