JAP PERSISTENCE GONE

Lieutenant General George C. Ken
ney, Commander of Air Forces in the
Southwest Pacific, says that the quality of
Japanese pilots has "unquestionably de-
Perforated
General Kenney says that the Japanese
highly skilled, first-string team is gone,
while our first team is just beginning to get
into line"
The General is in the United States,
presumably for the purpose of securing
more planes for the Southwest Pacific thea
ire of war. While declining to say so direct
ly, he admitted that nobody would say that
he would not like to have more planes
Undoubtedly, the General could use
more aifplanes in the same manner that he
utilized his aviators to defeat the Japanese
in the Bismarck Sea engagement How many
he will get and how many he has, are mat
tiers unknown to the public and necessarily
left to the judgment of our high command.

CONCERT OF POWER

1t Is the concert power. the use of ali
types IF weapons, from the bayonet to the
battleship, that will win this war for the Al
ues as to whether warships or airplanes play
the more deadly role in annihilating the
enemy.
Reduced to the final analysis, the argu-
ment is as ridiculous as that prepostereus
question, IF your mother ard wife were
drowning, which one would you save first?,'
While planes have accomplished far
more in this war than their most ardent pro-
ponent thought they would, yet the destruc-
ticn they have wrought at sea has almost
always resulted from the cooperative as
sistance they received from warships With
out warships, particularly carriers, we
would not have scored such victories as the
battles at Midway and in the Coral Sea-
Even on land, the plane, to be effec-
tive, must receive the cooperative power of
other weapons. The Germans, in their de-
structive divebombing attacks on Belgium,
Holland and France, would have accom-
plished little without the cooperation of
tanks end other mechanical vehicles and
infantry on foot and in lorries
Conditions that may never arise. such
as the wife-and-mother question, and con-
ditions that are interrelated, such as per-
tain to weapons, lead to arguments that have
no solution, however long the arguments
may last.
AS to weapons, the bayonet, in hand
to-hand fighting, is far more important than
either the plane or the warship. but the
bayonet is CT no use whatever when the en-
envy is not at close quarters.
Coordination of weapons is the most
important thing in winning this war, and
coordination of planes and warships, as
General Douglas Macarthur has pointed
out on several occasions, has been the DOM
inant factor in all the victories, some of
them one-sided, that the Americans have
scored in the Southwest Pacific.
That is as true of the fighting on land
as In the sea, because the plane and the
warship made it possible for Allied troops
to reach New Guinea, the Solomons ard
other areas in that theatre of war.
The warship is not obsolete, as some
critics have declared, and the plane is not
the outstanding success in this war. No
one weapon is outstanding, because the war
would continue interminably if the Allies
had to depend on the plane alone or on any
other one weapon. All are important, and
the warship has been just as important in
this war as it has been in any other.
Concert of power is what counts.

LACK INTEREST

Editor, The Citizen,
During my brief stay here
have noticed the lack of cultural
interest in this city.
1t seems especially in war
time that the finer things of life
should be stressed more than
they are.
I understand there are many
literary people here-poets and
authors. / wish they might be-
come better organized.
Respectfully,

FOR THE CHURCH

Imperilled and enabled, Thy
Church confronts these times, O
Eternal God. Of many names and
many forms, she is still the one
Church which has borne witness
to Thee throughout the ages; and
has, in every crisis, been the COM
fort and stay Of human hearts.
Now, in our desperate need, we
pray for the Church, that her min
listers and members may be equal
to the duties of this tragic hour.
May the consultations of the Cos
pei, and the fortitude Of the God
OF Battles, be ministered to man.
kind everywhere. In the churches
may the pure and pertinent Cos
pei of tn living Christ be preach
ed, and may the number of wor-
shippers everywhere be increased.
We thank Thee for the growing
unity of tn Church throughout the
world, and for her new sense OF
her mission to society in the re-
making. Let not the f i t h of
preachers falter, nor their cour-
age and conservation. Grant that
every service in houses dedicated
to Thy worship may console and
inspire and instruct the people: to
the end that Thy name may be
glorified and Thy will be done.

War books:

Still another collection of Win
ston Churchills speeches is ready
this week, this one taking its name
from one of the best lines the
Prime Minister has given t n e
world-'The End of the Begin
ming" The editor, Charles FADE,
has followed the usual plan, which
is to interpolate enough material
to provide connections between the
speeches and produce them with
a running commentary on the war
as the Prime Minister sees it-or
as he sees fit to describe it pub
licly.
This volume is perhaps the best,
for it covers the year 1912, which
began with the Far East crum-
bling, and the world not yet con-
vinced that the Russians would
stand off the Germans. Through
the year the tone of the speeches
remains typical of the Prime Min
lister, although the news grows bet
ter. The year ends with Rommel
being pummeled, the end of the
beginning. This is, of course, a

which implies that heavy increases in unar-
rested tuberculosis may be expected.
The owl announcement shows there are
slightly more than 25O,0OO nurses serving on
the home front. In a year $4,000 will be
needed, with $4,000 of the additional 1890
to be required for military service, leaving
2e3, 900 to care for civilians. This number will
not be adequate because the hospitals are
called upon to admit more and more patients
as each month passes, and more nurses are
diverted from civilian to military service.
The national situation is reflected in Will
mngton where hospital nursing staffs are too
small to attend all patients and give each
the care best suited to speedy improvement
and recovery Wilmington nurses are over
worked. They spend such long hours on duty
that they are often at the point of exhaustion
when finally relieved, and then may take a
rest period too short to fit them for another
long service period.
The only means of improving the Whining
ton nursing situation is to build up large
staff of nurses aides, and this can be- done
only by more girls and women volunteering
their services. Wilmington's plight would be
no better than that of any other city if it
were to be swept by an epidemic.
A night class in nurses aide training has
just been started for the convenience of busi-
ness women. It is not too late to enroll. A
phone call or visit to Red Cross chapter head
quarters, room 125 Custonhouse, will acquaint
any potential recruit with all details.
Make that call today. Or drop in at the
office during lunchtime.
