Realistic War Pictures

1t will be interesting to observe the
results of the new policy, said to have
been agreed on at White House con-
ference last week, under which the
public will be shown more realistic
battle pictures. Some of them in the
past have been criticized as being un-
realistic, in that scenes showing our
own losses we're deleted. In the opin-
ion of one anonymous observer, such
deletions led the American public to
think of battles as a succession of
victory parades in which our soldiers
were smothered under barrages of
posies from the cheering civilians,
welcoming them as conquering he
roes. This distorted conception, it
Is argued, does nothing to stimulate
the people back home to shed their
own sweat in backing up the soldiers.
There is substance in that theory.
But it was not long ago that certain
pictures of the havoc wrought by
submarines on our merchant ships
were being criticized as too realistic.
Photographs and even word pictures
of sailors engulfed in sea of burning
oil evidently had an adverse effect, or
some of the authorities feared they
would, on enlistments for the mer-
chant marine.
Perhaps the guiding policy in
showing war pictures should be the
desire to give an honest picture of
war, so long as military secrets are
protected, without undue emphasis
on any particular side of war. If
such pictorial records of our battles
should be shown, in other words,
without thought as to their good or
bad value as propaganda. the end
results probably would be achieved
without deliberate play on public
emotion. The simple objective
should be the truth, with censorship
guided only by good taste and pre-
cautions against revelation of mill
tary secrets.

Second Front" Propaganda


Prompts Reaction Against Russia.
To the Editor of The Star:
I would like to know why we gre sup
posed to be so grateful to Russia? I am
a person who is naturally grateful for
the slightest favor done for me per-
sonally but If I benefit from something
done accidentally, then thank not the
blunderer but my own lucky star or di-
vine providence.
Russia is looking out for herself as
she should be doing. And more power to
her! She still is virile enough to be
sane nation, like an individual, must
preserve It's own mental and physical
health before 1t can hope to help others.
So far Russia is trying to protect
herself against her enemy. Nothing
more! She hasn't helped anybody. In
fact, the Allies have helped her. She
has been helped with lease-lend. And in
spite of the sentimental dribblings to
which we have been subjected over the
radio and in the newspapers about no
second front there has been more than
second front help. Africa was second
front, Sicily was third front. Bombing
Germany Is fourth front. Whether
Russia realizes 1t or not, our diverting
her enemies attention from her has
enabled her to maintain her brave de-
Tense II the Allies start another opera

Grim Satisfaction

From the London Daily Express
A mood of grim satisfaction spreads
through the nation as the damage
wrought by our air bombardment is ap-
preciated. Reports and photographs tell
OF mounting destruction. new system
of stereoscopic reproduction not yet on
scale to be shown widely, confirms
vividly the desolation now existing where
once many German arsenals vomited
weapons of death and mutilation. The
Ruhr is not the full total of Germany's
armament strength. But it is the first
vast area of the enemy's war potential
to be beaten fiat. OF course, our salts
faction contains the JOY of revenge 1t
is not RAF policy, but it is so with the
people. We suffered cruelty and still
suffer from bombing. 1t would be un-
natural to see in the Ruhr agony no
element of just retribution on the arro-
CANT Germans who launched this air
war on the weak and who squeal now
