WASHIN E T ON
BALL LOOKS AT WORLD
WAR, PEACE PROBLEMS.

There are two things which Amer
lea should do as quickly as possible.
The first is to develop an overall
plan to fight and win this war and
then have a unified command, both
on the fighting front and the home
front, to carry out that plan. Too
much of our energy and resources are
still being frittered away on nom
essentials.
The second is to define as clearly
and specifically as possible the aims
of the United Nations in this global
war. That is not going to be simple
task. 1t will be a continuing job,
beginning while we fight the war and
continuing long afterward.
Wendell L. Willke found that the
peoples of the East are not sure that
the western nations mean the free
doms of the Atlantic charter to apply
to them as well as to peoples of the
western world. That is understand
able in view of the long history of
western imperialism in the East. The
only real assurance that can be
given these peoples is to spell out our
war aims in as specific terms as
possible.
I believe colonies and empires are
finished. But it is likewise true that
millions of peoples are not yet ready
for complete self-government; some
indeed may not be ready for it for
several generations.
The answer for such peoples, it
seems to me, is government of such
areas by a Unittd Nations COM
mission, directed specifically to pre-
pare the people for self government
through education as rapidly as
possible. In other words, do as we
did in the Philippines.
Some such proposal might be the
right answer to the complicated and
perplexed problem of India.

Americans arrive in force.
Heretofore the Japanese have been
gobbling up islands and colonial
fringes of Asia.
But in Australia they are up
against a continent with an area
only a little less than that OF the
United States. There is good rea-
son for confidence, therefore, that
the next phase Of the Pacific war
will not be as unequal as that just
ended.
For the first time Japan's lines
of communications will be almost
as extended as those of her major
foes. For the first time she will
be sending her veteran, heaVily
armed forces, not against colonial
armies defending lands populated
bv races of uncertain loyalty, out
against white men fighting for their
own homes. ~
And she will be entering battle
field in which the might OF the
worlds greatest industrial power
the United States, at last can be
brought to bear.
This battlefield is 1000 miles from
Japans home bases. And while the
conflict is being waged she must
held her new SpoilS along a huge
arc curving almost 1000 miles from
New Britain to the Bay OF Bengal,
and supply the armies that hold
them.
If she attempts to Jump New
Zealand. she must add another
$500 miles to her lifelines. New
Zealand is as near to San Fran
cisco as to Toxic, about $500 miles
in either case.
Japan's real test is just approach
ing.
What has she with which to face
it?
Probably she can spare close to a
million men for her next adventure.
But has she the ships to carry
them and their armament and the
planes and warship to guard the
conveys and make possible the land
ingS?
Has Lost Heavily.
Certainly she has lost heavily IN
ships and planes and-perhaps most
important of all-in veteran pilots
in the desperate attacks which have
gained Malaga, the Netherlands In
dies, most of the Philippines and a
major slice of Burma.
y~1o fny. tho ir,Uo CInT
of Australia, down to thousands OF
details, have been ready for years.
There have been months or poring
over hundreds of marine charts,
shore-line maps and reports fed into
Toxic by a generation of Japanese
fishermen or alleged cotton pickers
who have. learned the northern
coasts of Australia or the lay of the
land in New Guinea better than
their owners.
Nonetheless. the battle for Aus
tralia presents a terrific test for
Japan.
That certainty, coupled with a
japanese estimate-drawn from the
experiences of Malaga and Burma
of Britain's ability to defend her
Asiatic possessions, might lure i'm
perial headquarters into the West
ern adventure, the thrust into India
while it is torn with political con-
fict.
Nor is it certain that the advo-
Gates of an attack on Russia will
not prevail. 1t is even possible that
Japan, flushed with victories and
opportunities beyond all her dreams
might try all three at once.
But the probabilities are that she
will choose just one for the all-out
smash. Her strength is not limitless.

TOUGH GENERAL
The survey party had orders
from Brig. Gen. j. A. O'Connor,
the highways boss, to stick to
the east bank of certain river,
despite the fact that all the lex
perts" said the road must cross
the river and follow the west
shore.
The east bank proved to be as
treacherously swampy as pre-
dicted. 1t looked to the survey
ors as if they'd hav, to cross,
after all. The major in charge
accordingly asked Gen. O'Con-
nor by field wireless for the
Just-completed air photos of the
river, to facilitate crossing.
Receiving no answer, he ra-
diced again the mex: day. Still
no answer.
The major continued his ra-
diced requests, often several
times a day, without reply. In
the meantime, his men went
ahead and finally the "impos-
sible" east bank was negotiated.
When the major checked with
headquarters as to why his wires
were unanswered, Gen. O'Con-
nor told him: 81 had the mes

and Indians were helpful along
their own trap lines, but unreli-

The surveyors had a hard job
keeping ahead of the tractors

them. The colonel ossing the

So one night the surveyors pitch

route surveyed that day. 1t was

light trail back to the road.
When, at midnight, the lead
ing caterpillar pushed through
to the end of the line, the driver
saw the blazed trail. He roared
right down to the commanding
