The Literary Guidepost

The American Land starts. of
course, at the beginning. There
was frontier then, and there has
been until recently. 1t was never
needful to worry about WORKOUT
land, for there was more farther
west, or south, or north. When
wood was needed, whole forests
were cut down, the stunps and
trash left to dry, to burn, and
eventually to make a waste land.
Water run-off was not considered,
and nobody worried that it wash
ed away millions of tons of top
soil each year. Not until average
yields began dropping and t h e.
spectre of eventual hunger peeked
over the horizon.
Even yet, not all of us see the
spectre. We can, if we will read
MIR. Van Dersal, and we can also
see how to exercise him, AS a
by-product, we can learn what the
SOIL grows for us and where it
came from, what improvements
nave been made in plants as we'll

The Slaughter At Naples

| Mortal flesh creeps at the slaughter of Ital-
ians by German soldiers in Naples, but it is
only what they have been doing wherever
they have gone since the war began.
| Wholesale murder characterized their rape
of Czechoslovaka When they moved into Po-
land it was wholesale slaughter, and it still
goes on Billy. Mitchelrs sister told in re-
cent American magazine articles of their
atrocities in Yugoslavia. When they invaded
Russia whole towns, with their populations,
were wiped out.
None of this was war. 1t was sheer bar
barisu, and will not change until the Germans
are defeated Nor will defeat in war alone
prevent its recurrence Not as long as Ger
man militarist of the Prussian school remains
alive will Europe or any portion OF the earth
be free from threat.
Naples terrible as its fate is, cannot be
singled out as the chief example of German
ruthlessness. But it does add to the score
against Germany and offers additional rea-
son for the complete determination of Ger
n1any's war-minded, Prussianized leaders.
This is why the main battle of Europe, the
second front Prime Minister Churchill OF
Great Britain forecast before Parliament on
Tuesday, must be opened without unneces-
sary delay, and why, when the war IS won,
the peace that follows must contain no loop
hole for more German aggression in the fu-
ture.
Streets of no city or town or village. the
floors of no house. must ever again run red
with the blood of innocent persons; the fields
of no country must again be stained with the
blood of men forced to fight for the God
given right to live in safety from preying
barbarian hordes.
What this involves is sef-evident Aggres-
sors must be suppressed They cannot I'M
derstand anything but suppression The agen-
cy through which this can be achieved OBJ
vously is world police force alert to go
into action at the first sign of aggressive &C
tivity.
No nation fighting the war-makers can
ever again draw apart and pretend to live
to itself. Future peace will depend upon
unity and cooperation. And it will be the
solemn duty of the United States to exercise
it's proper leadership in maintaining world
security. 1t is comforting, therefore, to find
the Congress of the United States taking a
firm stand for this country's participation in
this essential undertaking.

Tokyo Migration

Announcement that the Japanese are max
ing preparations to remove the civilian pop
ulation, government departments and indus
tries from Tokyo confirms the adage that
coming events cast their shadow before.
With Allied forces closing in, even at the
present slow pace, and the fall OF Japan's
chief outposts only matter of time, it may
well be that TOTO has a clear vision of what
is to happen to the Sun of Heavens empire
Even so, the proposed migration cannot
spring from humanitarian impulses Tojo's
purpose obviously is to make room for ad-
ditional defenses around Tokyo
He probably envsio4s the city as for
tress. and nothing else. If so, the city's re-
duction will involve heavier fighting, to be
sure, but its fall will none the less be assured
by the growing fire power of the Allies in the
Pacific
If we read the signs Alright the walls Of
Tokyo already trembling, as did those
OF Jericho as Joshua closed in. under the
distant but increasing tread of Allied soldiers.
the whir of Allied bombers, the throb of Allied
battle craft AS yet it is but the rumble OF
the distant storm. But as surely as the hur-
ricane strikes at the appointed time, so will
the United Nations descend upon this CAPITA
OF barbarism. Nothing that TOTO can do will
save it.

"Angel Of Peace"

AT last it is revealed that Rudolf Hess did
actually bring peace terms to England "heh
he crossed the channel alone alo landed to
break leg in Scotland. Anthony Eden, the
British Foreign Secretary, made the dsclo-
sure in the House of Commons, stating some
of the terms in detail
Just why the British government decided
this is the appropriate time for letting the
cat out of the bag, after maintaining what
many have considered stubborn silence so
long, is not wholly apparent But it could
be that with the major attack on Germany
definitely forecast by Prime Minister Church
i'll only day before and growing rumors that
place the American chief of staff, General
George C. Marshall, at the head of all Anglo
American fighting forces, the announcement
was scheduled at the Quebec conference.
This possibility finds support in the amazing
statement accredited to Hess by the Duke of
Hamilton and quoted by Mr.. Eden, that Hitler
did not want to defeat England" and wanted
ito stop fighting"
This word spread among the German people
by short wave radio, as it doubtless has been,
cannot fail to have its effect upon their mo.
rale and the effect will not be to bolster it.
They will be quick to remember that two
years and half ago Hitler was still ac-
crediting godlike powers to himself and tell
ing them that with himself at their head they
should certainly rule the world. To learn
now that he was even then willing and anxious
to stop fighting and offering terms of peace
to his then chief adversary may well be ex
pected to show them the clay feet of their idol
Mr. Eden's announcement seems to be vel
timed in the war of nerves with which the
Allies are supplementing their war in the
air and attack in Italy.

AS Others Say It
SOYBEAN CAMPAIGN

Scientists are amazing them
selves as they evolve new uses
for the miracle soybean. More
than 1000 food products already
employ the soya to advantage.
And as the need grows for in
creased proteins this ordinary
looking field plant will become
vastly more important in the ma
tional life.
The government plans to launch
an extensive educational cam
paign to promote soya consump-
ton. If the meat shortage con-
tlnues. consumers may be eating
a substitute steak made of soya.
They now are buying this protein
vegetable matter in sausage, meat
loaf and other prepared meat
products. Also in macaroni, spa
ghetti and noodles.
Nutritionists highly indorse the
food value of this field crop. The
government program is to make
dealers and consumers soya-

use rather than trying to conceal

Flowers For Soldiers

to strangers; how much more welcome are
they in military hospital. where the patients
are far from loved ones and infinitely lonely.

BY RAYMOND CLAPPER

WASHINGTON. - This town is
seething with gossip over the pos
sible assignment of Gen. George
C. Marshall to take command Of
operations for the knockout blow
against Germany.
General Marshall is h e Of
staff now. He is an outstandir2
soldier who has won the confidence
Of Congress and of the country.
lie has directed the enormous ex-
pansion and rapid building Of our
army. Furthermore he is the dom
iautlng military figure in The An
plo-American combined chiefs OF
Start. He has participated in all
Of the big ACKNOWLEDGMENT mil
itary conferences beginning with
the Atlantic meeting in the sunl-
ner of 1871.
Serious consideration is being
given now to placing General Mar
shall in command of the European
thaater. 1t is not finally decided.
But it looks as if the change will
be made.
Many in Washington are saying
this is a scheme to kick General
Marshall upstairs. The most cur
rert version of the gossip is that
he has been at odds with the Brit
ish, that he had sharp c'ntro-
versy with Churchill at Quebec
and that the British are forcing
Roosevelt to get rid of MIN. It is
to be done by dressing up the as
signment to the European theater
as a chance for Marshall to be
the Pershing of this war. Gossip
embroiders the story in many ways
and it is said that General Mar
shall feels he is being taken out
of the game and is eating his
heart out. That is the way the
gossip runs and everybody is dress
ing up his own version of it. For
once gossip here does n o run
down man and indeed the
achievements of General Marshall
are being paid the highest COM
pliment by all in the course of
the gossip.
First of all. to believe that Gen
eral Marshall is being kicked up
stairs. you must assume that there
is to be no knockout blow against
Germany. If the Allies are going
to drive through to Berlin and
crush Germany completely. then
bout the most important assign
ment in the war is the job of
directing that campaign. The plan
ming stage of the war is about
over. Quebec laid t h e detailed
plans and time-schedu1e for the
destruction of Germany. Now it
remains to find the best man to
carry them out. On that basis not
many would fail to select General
Marshall.
Those who oppose the m v e
question whether Germany is to
be defeated that way. They say 1T
will be largely an air war plus
drive up from the Balkans, and
that it is wasting General Marsh
alTs time to put him in England
when he ought to be running the
whole war from here.
Who can know what the best
decision is in such a matter as
this, except one who knows tn
secret plans of the war? So it is
a matter about which curbstone
judgment is not worth much. And
it is rather delicate stuff to be
tossed around recklessly on the
floor of Congress.
One can accept it as roughly
correct that, in general, Prime
Minister Churchill has favored hit
ting Germany from the soft under
belly while our military men have
favored going through France.
