This gives us a hint of what
The isIand-by-island strategy
will be like.
In attacking the Gilberts, we
made contact only with the out
ermost fringe of the Japanese
sphere of control. on the ex-
treme end of enemy supply lines.
We must face the fact that, as
we move into the interior OF
this japanese sphere, where jap
anese supply lines are shorter,
resistance will be constantly in
creased. roughly in inverse pro-
portion to the distance. In other
words, when we reach halfway
between the Gilberts and Japan.
we are likely TO run into forti-
fed islands Of much greater de-
fensive power. so that both the
resistance and our losses will be
doubled.
Moreover. in the case of Betio
and the other Gilberts, we
brought immense force against
very small islands, incapable of
containing enough defensive
power. When we strike at big
ger islands with greater de-
lenses. the cost to us will be
proportionately higher. Thus,
as we approach japan, our
losses will mount and mount,
until the cost becomes prohibit

second. the counting Of the red

fourth, the presence OF parasites
such as malaria; fifth. It's chem

THE very word anemia sug-
L gests TO you that the
anemic person does not have
enough blood. That does not
mean strictly that the total
blood volume is reduced but
that the red blood corpuscles
are reduced. So. counting the
red blood corpuscles is the in

THE BRIGHTER SIDE
BY DAMON RUNYON

Let me note here that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is the only cam
didate for president who has
taken any stand on the problem
of the future of the Servicemen
though II has been suggested
to some of the Republican pros
poets that they ought TO say
something. They ought 10 at
least make promises, though. of
course. no individual has any
chance of doing anything def
mite and in any event would
have 70 pass the buck back 10
Congress as President RooSe-
welt is doing
I DO not recall that President
Il Roosevelt said anything prior
10 last July that indicated he
was thinking Of the future of
the servicemen, and 10 tell the
truth the record Of President
Roosevelt on assistance to serv-
icenen is none too TeaSSuring.
However. if he has now seen
the light. even though il is only
a political beacon ! must re-
joice. I just want 10 see some
thing done for the veterans and
| do not care who does IL, or
how. as long as il is done
But the newspaper headlining
OF the fact that President
Roosevelt favors this particular
cause can be misleading TO the
public which may get the idea
that his favor cinches the plan
when the whole thing is up 10
Congress. The Presidents sup
port is just good political propa-
canda for himself and does not
insure action by Congress.
4 NDL regret 10 say ! repose
"A no confidence in Congress
on" this particular point. The
history of the Congresses OF the
United States toward the war
veterans of the nation is one Of
ldiAN iliH dAlAQhNs ~ - a lCNlAdi
of broken promises, OF disgrace
full neglect. The cause of our
war veterans has always been
viewed by congressman in the
light of political expediency.
This Congress may be spurred
into some definite action by
fourth term considerations. II
would be politically dangerous
right now for a congressman 10
vote against any proposal that
might benefit the war veterans,
such as the continuance of pay.
Hence now would be the time
10 get the benefits, but / think
most likely that after the idea
has been Haunted before the
servicemen until the votes are
in next year. Congress will Just
forget the matter. as IL is doing

undermine its land based air
power.
The writer is convinced that
those planning the naval often
sive against Japan - in which
the Gilbert battle is an initial
step-are likely to undergo the
same experience as certain milf
tary men who urged an invasion
of Europe from the very outset.
Through bitter disappointments
and heavy losses. these military
men finally realized that inva-
sion could not be accomplished
until Germany itself. as the
source of Nazi power. was suffi-
GENTLY softened from the skies
and shear q of its luftwaffe
strength. British and American
air power is now on the way to
achieving this purpose. to the
point where invasion may be-
come practical.
The naval minds will have to
go through the same cycle. They
still feel that, with great pre-
ponderance of force. they can
put over a direct amphibious
strategy. But, in the end, they
WILL recognize that they must
anchor and wait until air power
destroys - not every island in
the Pacific - but the enerny's
war-making machine inside Ja-
pan. Only then, when Japan is
denuded of its land-based air
power and we attain dominance
in the skies over the whole area
of conflict, will the navy be able
TO enter Japane waters.
Those waters are forbidden to
us as long as they are covered
by hostile land : based aviation.

soup, omelette, lentils and jam
with French bread.
The wine was win ordinaire and
cost only sixsfrancs. The franc
is figured roughly at two cents.
On the boat we had turned in
our regular u. S. currency and
drew l. S. money with a gold seal
instead of blue seal. This is con-
vertible into francs anywhere in
town.
The town IS white French
modern in architecture. fairly
clean, and much more modern in
facilities than most French cities
that | saw in France several
years ago. 1t is cosmopolitan and
particularly so from a military
personnel standpoint - about 30
different uniforms.
We ate along the wall of the
restaurant, called the Petit
Poucet. and in line with us were
