word must be studied, but they do
not appear that way. They pop out.
as If entirely on the spur of the mo-
ment. His pudgy bulldog face runs
the gamut Of emotional change
anger, amusement, deep sentiment
by the flicker Of
eyes, a puckish smile or glowering
grimace.
The answer to all this, Of course,
is that Mr.. Churchill has set out de-
nberately to win the respect and
affection Of the American people
for his country and for himself. He
sees himself as the most important
international missioner since
Woodrow Wilson sold the League Of
Nations to the outside world, only to
have the American Senate upset 1t.
His First Big Job.
Mr.. Churchill's first big job was to
bring the United States into full
participation in the war against
Hitlerism. His initial visit to this
side Of the ocean, last August, won
President Roosevelt's signature to
the Atlantic Charter, which declared
that the fight must be carried on
until aggressor nations are beaten
and disarmed.
The primary purpose Of Mr..
Churchill's present visit is to secure
the utmost Of American fighting
help, both in man power and ma
terials. and to synchronize war ef-
fort Of all Of the nations joined
against the Axis. But also he. is
seeking to harmonic American
British aspirations and solidify
friendship OF all Anglo-Saxon peo-
Piles in preparation for the difficult
job Of peace making, which he sees
ahead.
From either Of these standpoints
the degree to which Mr.. Churchill
succeeds in winning support Of
American public opinion may prove
decisive. The atmosphere surround
ing American-British cooperation
In the last war was very different.
President Wilson was frankly sus-
picious of British war aims. He was
won't to warn against movements
looking to Anglo-Saxon solidarity as
designed to win American support
for British aspiration to dominate
the world.
The Irish situation was q power
full obstacle to British American
unity and there we're other voting
groups in the United States that
were aggressively anti-British. David
Lloyd George. as his writings after
wards disclosed, was rather con-
temptuous Of President Wilson'S
ideansms, and never had any real
intention of yielding to them, 50 far
as they infringed British interests.
Mr.. Churchill and President
Roosevelt not only know the mis-
takes that were made during and
after the last war, but they have
a far broader international knowl-
edge on which to build, and they
are temperamentally more realistic
than Mr.. Lloyd George or President
Wilson. On top Of this. they have
the experience OF the ~ interpa-
tionally misspent years since the last
peace making to guide them.

most energy, with the aim Of
wearing out the Japanese. From
every available report 1t is OBJ
vious the Japs are paying dearly
for every foot of territory they
conquer.
The day may not be far of
when Allied naval and air forces
operating in the Pacific will be
sufficiently reinforced to permit
steady raiding Of japanese lines
of communication. 1t is hoped
that this will take place while
Gen. Macarthur is still fighting
and Corregidor still holds out.
When 1t does happen the situ-
alton will change dramatically.
From the time the Allies are on
a par with the Japanese in the
air the latter will have to fight
on their own with nothing but a
trickle of reinforcements from
Japan proper. And they may
then be confronted with a war
on two fronts in the Malay
Peninsula-one in the south and
the other in the west. They may
also have a severe battle on their
hands in the Philippines.
The Japanese realize that a
change is apt to occur in the
near future. For this reason,
while they have command of the
seas and air, they are driving
their men frantically, regardless
Of losses, to obtain decisive VIC
tory before it is too late. They
are racing against time and hope
to achieve their triumph before
it is menaced by the growing
strength of the Allies.
p On the speed with which we
rush vital war material to the
battle area depends the success
or failure Of Japans plans.

duration Of the war and six
months beyond.
Must Supply Army.
The new registration is designed
to serve the purpose of giving a
complete picture Of the man
power of the Nation, not only for
military service but also for all
essential work that is needed for
a successful conduct of the war.
In order to win the war, there
must be enough men under arms;
there must be enough men to
work in the factories turning out
arms and munitions and ma
chimes; there must be enough
men to provide the necessary
food for the whole Nation. This
Is where the problem of the Sc
lective service system begins. It
must decide not only what men
are capable of bearing arms, but
also where all men can be Of best
service to the country, whether
in the Army, in the factory or on
the farm.
Men must be arranged in vari-
Gus classifications, subject to call
for duty. Under the present Draft
Act, only those between 20 and "A
may be drafted for military serv-
ice. This may be changed by
Congress If and when it becomes
necessary. But for the present
that is the plan. Many Of the
men within these ages, however,
are needed for the factories and
for the fields. Many of them are
not physically up to the mark for
service in the military forces.
Many Of them have dependents
and can with difficulty be spared
for the Army or the Navy. Many
will receive deferment. Nothing,
however. must be permitted to
interfere with the building up OF
a sufficient Army and Navy to
win the war.
To Permit No Sinking.
One thing is certain. No man
will be permitted to shirk his
duty. In whatever category he is
placed. No man will be per-
mitted to remain outside the
armed forces and refuse to work
at the essential tasks of supply
ing the armed forces with the
materials required to equip those
forces. Presumably the day when
men may lay down their tools and
decline to work because they want
more pay or because they wish
to change the conditions of labor,
and still remain free from mill
tary service, is at an end. That,
too, is one of the benefits of the
new Draft Act, when all men
must be registered.
The country is to be congratu-
lated that, despite the strong op-
position which arose, the military
Draft Act was passed as early as
it was; that hundreds of thou
sands of young men have had a
years training by this time, and
some of them more. It is to be
congratulated that steps were
taken to make this country an
arsenal for the production Of
arms and munitions with which
to fight the Axis powers-even
though the steps have been fall
tering. A great deal has been
done, and a great deal Of time
has been saved. The country is
far better prepared for war than
when it entered the last world
conflict in 1917.

The Political Mill
Needs Of Victory to Determine Size Of Army
Under Draft Act to Register Nations Man Power
BY GOULD LINCOLN.

BY GOULD LINCOLN.
How large an Army is the
United States going to put under
arms, now that plans are per-
fected for registering and draft
ing practically the entire man
power of the country? The only
answer that can be made today
is that it will be an Army large
enough to vim the war, however
large that may be. Neither a
soldier nor an Army can be made
in a day-or in many days. It
takes time for training and for
providing equipment. There
must be facilities for housing and
caring for the men.
1t has been recommended in
some of the plans that provision
be made for an Army of eight to
ten million men, and for an
American Expeditionary Force up
to five million-in order to bring
complete victory to this country
and its associates in this war
against the Axis powers. No one
knows what the needs in man
power will be in order to win.
That they will be great seems
inevitable. That they will re-
quire vast stores of arms, NUM-
lions and planes and tanks is true
beyond a doubt.
The selective service system has
been put forward as the answer
to the problem of raising the
requisite Army and equipping it.
President Roosevelt, under the
latest amendment to the Draft
Act, has picked February 16 as
the day on which all men be-
tween the ages of 20 and "A, not
previously registered or enlisted
in the armed forces, shall register.
Under the original draft, men
from 81 to 35 were registered
about 17,500O00 in all. The Draft
Act as now amended calls for
the registration of all men from
Is to "a.
Opportunity Passed Up.
During the last World War, an
Army of some four million men
was raised and two million were
sent overseas to fight in France
against Germany. The draft did
not come until this country had
been at war for some time. After
that war had ended, plans for
regular military training of the
youth Of the country were per-
fected. They were strongly
urged upon Congress, but that
body would have none of them.
There was little thought in the
country except for peace, and dis
armament. "a golden opportunity
to build up a trained reserve of
men capable Of bearing arms was
lost. 1t was not until the sum-
mer Of 1910, when most of the
world was again at war, that
steps were finally taken for a
new military Draft Act. 1t was
recognized at last that this coun-
try must prepare to defend it
self. But even then, limitations
were placed upon the number of
men who might be drafted-no
more than 100000 and for a
period of training of one year.
When it was evident that war
was closing in more closely about
the United States, strong efforts
were made to lengthen the period
of service Of the men who had
been in training. But even then
they nearly failed. With the
coming of actual war, the whole
