Yugoslav Differences

Yugoslavs generally are fighting the Ger
mans but because Of internal differences are
not united and so are missing their great op-
portunity to throw their whole strength into
The battle on a coordinated plan.
There is Tito, the communist, leader of the
army of liberation, and Mihailovic, intrepid
guerilla chief, who took up the fight in the
wake OF Hitler's Balkan invasion and has
waged persistent and effective warfare on the
invaders. These two and their bands are
said to have engaged in minor civil conflict
at times, instead Of uniting against common
foe. Now, in addition to their divided strength,
Albanian guerrillas have taken the field.
In one way the Yugoslav situation resem-
bles the DeGaulle Giraud middle through
which much time was lost because they could
not be brought into harmony. in another way
The case is different in that both Tito and
Mihailovic are fighting though each remains

banians going their own way independently.

Our Subs In The Pacific

The part American submarines are playing
in the Pacific war is realistically shown in
Navy Secretary Knox announcement t h t
since Pearl Harbor they have sunk 319 freight
carrying ships and transports, with SO others
probably sent down and 105 damaged.
It is to be noted that this tabulation does
not include a combat ship. Although Japan's
naval losses are occasionally mentioned in
communicates, they have chiefly resulted from
encounters with Allied surface craft. The SUBJ
marines are concentrating with such efficiency
as these figures reveal upon Japan's ship
tween home and outpost supply points and
bases scattered over the territory seized in
the first mad rush of her conquests.
The blows thus struck, we may safely be-
lieve. have been of inestimable help to Mac
Arthur in his northward advance from Aus
tralia, in that they have reduced deliveries
of equipment and war tools and reinforce
ments for Japanese units entrenched on the
Pacific islands which Japan confidently ex-
pected to bring into the eastern Asia empire
she set out to establish and is being forced
to relinquish base by base.
Knowing the effect of the German U-boat
campaign in the Atlantic and the handicaps
1t placed upon lend-lease deliveries and troop
movements, it is not difficult to form a clear
picture of the performance Of our own SUBJ
marines in the Pacific.
It may also be possible that one Of the
reasons the Japanese main naval force re-
mains in its hideout is the deadly accuracy OF
torpedo firing by our submarines.

Second Front In The Air

Although Russia still makes demands for
second front in Europe, it becomes increas-
ingly apparent that Russia's chief allies, the
United States and Britain are determined to
gain air superiority, if not actual supremacy,
in all theaters of war before launching an
invasion of western Europe.
Russia even now is feeling the benefits of
this policy on the Eastern Front because the
Germans have been forced to withdraw the
major part of the air forces from Russia to
give combat to bombers raiding German in
dustries.
The belief that Germany may actually be
driven out of the war by air attack, which
was first mentioned by Prime Minister Chur-
chill when he declared the experiment would
be made before any attempt to land an ex-
peditionary force in western Europe, is gain
ing acceptance as the effectiveness of these
bombings is revealed
1t seems very probable that a decision
was reached at Quebec to pound GERMANY
and German controlled n dust al areas
throughout the winter and be prepared for in
vasion next spring. By this means the sacri-
flee Of allied troops would be minimized and
actual landings be effected more easily.
The fact is that a second front does exist
in Europe. It is in the air instead of on the
ground. Western Europe is getting a much
worse baptism Of fire from aloft than it could
possibly receive by land
With the tripartite conferences in Moscow
opening, it will be matter of deep interest
to learn Russia's real attitude on second
land front.

Daily Prayer
FOR DIVINE INTERVENTION


After all our best human effort
have been put forth for the win
ming of the war, we turn to Thee
o Almighty God, in the knowledge
that only Thy strong arm can give
us victory. We plead with ines
to stretch forth Thy power, thai
an early end of strife may come.
Send peace in our time, 0 Lord
Let not the curse of war descend
upon our children. In Thy fatherly
goodness, do Thou surprise US BY
an early victory. Even now, while
we are praying to Thee, the Goo
whom our pagan foes have dei!ed
and dishonored, do Thy send my
conquering angels into the midst
of the hosts of our foes, to shatter
their might and to turn their hearts
to water, in the realization thai
God is fighing for us. All OF our
hope is fixed upon Thee AS Thou
hast heard the prayers for dellV'
erance of Thy people in the past
SO hear us as we humbly pray TOR
Thine Intervention in t h S war.
Amen.-W. TIE.

BY RAYMOND CLAPPER

WASHINGTON. - Perhaps our
trouble is that we have grown too
sophisticated to have around us
that old office motto: ut can be
done"
Once in a while see in an office
the contemporary version of it
about the bee which did not know
that it was aerodynamically i'm
possible for him to fly so he went
ahead and flew.
But we don't have that spirit
about the job we can do after the
war. We don't have it about what
America can do after the war, or
what the nations together can do
after the war.
1t was pounded into us about
war production and the mobilizing
of an army and because h e
things had to be done at once,
they were done. In this war we
have done so many things that
could not be done. One might sup
pose we were acquiring the habit.
But the tendency is to view the
prospect after the war with de-
pressed spirit and with the con-
viction that the worst is bound to
happen.
You can talk about the chal-
longing opportunity that postwar
commercial aviation offers for en-
terprise all over the world. But by
the time one has gone through two
hours of table conversation with
two or three students in the field,
and added up the objections and
difficulties raised, they have DEM
onstrated that nothing can be done.
By supposing that the worst will
happen, and that everyone will use
his rights and power to make as
much trouble as possible, you can
prove that nothing will work.
If every stockholder in any cor
poration used his power to insist
upon his own ideas, no manage
ment could function. Any enter
prise could be paralyzed if every
one were as pigheaded and as
shortsignted regarding his interest
as we so often assume that ma
tons will be in dealing with each
other. No bank could stay open
"a hours if every depositor exer-
cised in full his right of with
draWal.
But life is not paralyzed because
people do find ways OF working to-
gether. Count Sforza, the pre-Fas-
cist Foreign Minister Of Italy who
has gone back there, makes some
wise observations in an article in
the current issue of Foreign AT
fairs. He mistrusts too exact blue
prints of the future. What mat
tiers, he says, is the moral will.
Or, as we say in America, where
there's a will there's way.
That attitude is needed now be-
cause we are in a period of some
disillusion. The five senators have
raised minor questions which have
set off whole train of questioning.
British newspapers are beginning
to snap back at American criti-
cism. They have been under vol
untary restrait at the earnest So
licitation of Churchill Who has
wanted nothing said that would ir-
ritate Anglo-American relations.
Deeper than that, some of our
experts and some of the British
experts show signs of despair, of
lacking answers to some of the
problems and of having little con-
fidence in those solutions they do
advance. On the other hand. Won
find technical negotiators here and
there who believe that each stem
taken is gain, that we are havinp
to learn slowly, and in the hard
way, but that if enough steps are

RulingO On DriUing To Club Meetings

Washington, D. C.. = Mrs. John L. Whitehurst, president of the Gen. eral Federation of Women's Clubs, announced today that OPA ruled that club women may attend meet ings in their cars, if such meetings are devoted solely to the war ef- fort.
 Mrs. Whitehurst requested 8 rul- ing after club women doing war work asked for such a ruling.
 Mrs. Whitehurst said, Bridge parties, social activities, fashion shows and lectures on I1on-war sub- jects should be out for the duration, and no womanis club should hold meetings, unless their programs are geared to the war effort. Our Gov ernment needs the services of all women.
 "If club women feel that they must have relaxation from their heavy war duties, then they should walk to their club meeting places. No clubs can use the excuse that they do not know how to promote war programs, as the General Fed eration of Women's Clubs has out lined programs on all phases oi To date over 100000 programs war work for its 2,5O0,00O members. 100000 speeches, and 100000 kits on governmental war material have been sent out from National Head- quarters"
