NEW ORLEANS, La.-(SNS)-
Xavier Prep School of New Orleans,
La, once again won the National
Catholic High School Basketball
title, held at Xavier University of
Louisiana annually under the aus
pieces of the Department of Physi-
cal Education and Athletics of the
University. This years tournament
was the fourth annual in the brief
annals of the colorful interscholas-
tic cage tourney. and Xavier Uni
versity gymnasium was the scene of
occasion. Inclement weather and
war situation caused many of the
schools which come from Alabama,
Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi to
absent themselves from the tourney
this year, and the title was decided
by "round-robin" this year.
For the first time, girls high
school teams were admitted to the
tourney, special division of the
meet called the First Annual Cath
Ole Girls High School Tournament.

Czechs Look Forward
To Postwar Justice

The Czechoslovak State Council in
London, during recent meeting, en-
phasized the necessity of Czechoslovak-
Polish collaboration and expressed the
hope that the wrongs done to Czecho-
slozakia by Hitler's intrigues and Becks
policy in 1888 will be righted.
The council also stressed the COM
plete national unity of the Czechs and
the Slovaks, stigmatized the traitors of
the Slovak nation, and declared that the
only combination which will guarantee
national development to the Slovaks is
with the Czechs.
Summing up. Deputy Minister of For
eign Affairs. DR.. Ripka, stated that the
Czechoslovak foreign policy abroad can
support only that which is solid and GER
tain and that to which the people at
home agree. Not only the restitution of
pre-Munich frontiers and position but
the creation of better internal order
is aimed at.

AS each unit lands, most of the men
feel that now the fighting begins But

Volunteer units were sent to the British
to learn their commando tactics. Spe-
cial teams were dispatched elsewhere to
be instructed in beach defense and as
sault. Ground soldiers went along to
Raj schools to become familiar with the
airmen's viewpoint. Others went to COM
munications schools so that armies that
did things differently would know each
others ways. Other soldiers studied the
Navy for, when the second front is estab-
lished, it will be airpower, seapower and
ground strength working together.
Now it isn't just getting there "fustest
with the mostest." You've got to have
the best and plans must be complete at
the start.
To the soldier it is still hurry up" in
every task and then wait"
But to the men upon whose shoulders
rests the responsibility of beating the
enemy on his own ground the nine
months since the first United States
troops landed in the British Isles have
been little enough time.

ready for WARP" by saying:
1T is my judgment that, given COM
plete equipment, they certainly could
fight effectively. But it is to be added
with emphasis that the losses would be
unduly heavy and the results of action
against an adversary such as the Ger
man might be all that could be desired"
Thousands of the men who were in

OF the American forces now in the

10 Tons Per Man.
But with ground forces 1t is an un-
precedented task to move men and their
heavy, complex weapons great distances.
At the outset it required at least 10
tons of shipping per man for the initial
move. That was for the average soldier,
not for the heavy equipment and tre-
mendous fuel and ammunition needs of
an armored force. For such an outfit
the tonnage requirements probably
tripled. And every man and machine
has to have continuous flow of supplies.
