The Pacific theater of war is far more
complicated than the one across the At
lantic. Regardless of how little is said
about the Allies future plans concern
ing the Pacific, it is obvious to observers
that there will be no offensive operation
in that area until we have finished off
Hitler. This strategy was determined in
washington a year ago, and in spite of
the various military opinions that We
should concentrate on the japanese first,
1t stands today as it stood IL months ago.
The success of the Allied operations in
landing in North Africa, the obvious
difficulties of the Nazis with their allies
and conquered nations, and the success
of the Russians who not only main
tanned their hold on Stalingrad, Mos
COW and Leningrad but have started a
real offensive of their own, are the con-
tributing factors which have silenced
advocates of an allout offensive in the
Pacific.
Our naval forces in the Southwest Pa
ciflc will continue their present defen-
siye-offensive operations. Reinforce
X
liam Halsey and Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur, but considering our present ship
ping situation and the needs for future
offensive operations across the Atlantic,
1t Is doubtful If more than the bare ma
terials and men necessary for defensive
offensive operations are reaching these
two commanders.
Indian Situation Precarious.
Neither is a large-scale operation on
the part of Gen. Sir Archibald Wavell
likely to develop soon from India against
Burma. The internal situation in India
continues to be precarious Gen. Wavell
does not have sufficiently strong force
to risk real offensive because. in the
event of a setback, the entire situation ir,
India and the Middle East might be ir-
retrievably compromised.
Hence the japanese can continue to
concentrate on any given point they
choose for their major military opera
tions. The strength of the American and
Australian forces in the South Pacific
is believed to be sufficient to Illustrate
any major japanese offensive in that
area.
In the meantime, the Chinese are be-
coming restless. The inactivity of the
Allies is irksome to Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek, who is warning Washington
and London of the perils of the absence
OF real activity against Japan F'unda-
mentally the Chinese leader and his as
sociates are afraid that after Hitler has
been defeated and the Allies have paid
a heavy price for his defeat, the United
Nations might be willing to talk terms
with the japanese and China might be
called to pay for the broken pots"
Fears China May.
This has happened before and may
happen again when the nation which
may be called on ito pay is militarily
unable to defend herself and possesses
sufficient riches to be made into a
scapegoat. No such thought, of course,
exists in Washington, but it is difficult
to convince the Chinese that such
thing Is not possible.

American diplomacy may soon un.
oertake delicate operation. More ex.
perlenced hands having failed thus far
we may try to bring an end to the tragic
war within war that is now raging in
the Balkans
AT first glance this civil war in Yugo-
siavla seems small incident in the
Worldwide panorama of conflict. Amer
leans know about it in only the most
general way. They have heard of a hero
Gen. Drazha Mikhailovich, who is fight
ing the Naxis that occupy his country
They know that the Mikhailovich forces
have somehow become embroiled with
other Yugoslavs called the Partisans but
the whole thing appears confusing and
unimportant
The fact is that in this struggle within
struggle may lie the origins of a third
world war. That is the serious view OF
persons who know Eastern Europe well.

native of Yugoslavia. The reason is
that Soviet Russia is more or less openly
backing the Partisans and Britain is
more or less openly backing Mikhailo-
vich. Conservative Yugoslavs conserva-
tive Poles, anti German but conservative
elements in the Balkans in general be-
lieve that Britain with the aid of Amer
lea must ultimately save Eastern Eu-
rope from the "bolshevik menace"
Racial Background.
Partly, of course, the Yugoslav civil
war has a racial background-the an
cient feud between the Croats and the
Serbs-one of those blood grudges that
have kept the Balkans under arms for
more years than any one can remember.
Hitlers gauleiters shrewdly exploited this
feud when Yugoslavia was occupied with
the objective of exterminating as many
Slavs, whether Croats or Serbs, as pos
sible. The savagery, the cruelty, the in
security of all human life in that part of
the world simply cannot be described
But beyond the bloody struggle grow
ing out of ancient native causes is the
outline of the larger conflict. The Yugo-
slav government-in-exil with Gen
Mikhailovich in Yugoslavia the minister
OF war in that government, the other
ministers in London, represents the old
order, the narrow dictatorship that con-
trolled the country before the Nazi in
vasion. The Partisans, and they include
many who are far from Communists.
want change, a new order an end OF the
harsh domination by a little group. The
war against the Nazis is worth fighting
only if such change Is possible, they
say.
This same conflict is apparent in other
of the United Nations. In China, Gen.
eralissimo Chang Kai-shek has re-
stricted the Communist armies that have
done SO much OF the fighting. 1t has
been freely predicted that the end of the
war will see bloody revolution in China.
In French North Africa we are backing
Frenchmen who would find it difficult
or impossible to maintain a government
either in France or the colonies if France
were free. Men and women who have
suffered for their democratic convictions
will not be content with restoration of
the old order.

LONDON (NANA) The policy pur-
sued by the victorious powers after the
last war ended in failure. No country
and no government can claim to be
blameless, whatever statesmen may have
said about their having acted rightly and
judiciously all along The facts are gen.
orally known and not denied, and they
necessarily contain valuable indication
for the future.
The system of Locarno, praised at the
time in the name of realism, was more
truly an expression of traditionalism.
Locarno did not, it is true, entirely pre-
clude some action by Great Britain in
reply to events happening east OF the
Rhine. But it had hypnotic effect.
It was in the shade of this ancient
but decaying figment of traditional
diplomacy that Great Britain reclined,
while the Teutonic thug was gathering
new strength in order to strike north,
south, east and west. Much Of that
strength was drawn from the middle Of
eastern regions of Europe, spacious and
in parts very fertile, largely under
developed industrially, but endowed by
nature with valuable raw materials, pro-
ducing surplus of foodstuffs and ex-
porting a large quantity of cheap and
valuable labor.
Locarno ceased to exist even before
these results were only half achieved.
The period of "appeasement" was ter
minated by the guarantee given TO Po-
land. Contrary to the opinion of pre-
cipitate critics the British guarantee to
Poland was wise and fruitful act.
No Act of Political Juggling.
1t was not an act of political juggling,
performed at some ones expense; it was
not an act of so-caled power politics.
It's watchword, Enough OF this robbery, y
was a call to resistance addressed TO all
the oppressed and intimidated. 1t was a
return to the proud traditions OF the
past and at the same time an outline Of
O new policy.
The seed then sown is growing up to-
day. There begins to take shape spon-
taneously new continental system, in
which there will be room for nations,
whether great or small, determined to
base their future and security on an
order built up on political and social
Justice.

black night, was brought alongside a

officers, walking the decks with hands
outstretched to find the ladders they

Funeral Sunday

UTICA, Miss.-Prof. VIM. H. Hol-
tzclaw, nationally known Negro
Educator, founder and principal of
Utica Institute for forty years,
died at the institution to which he
had devoted his life early Friday
morning, August 9th. Death came
as the results Of illness from which
he had suffered for the past two
or three years, due largely to COM
plications arising from advanced
age.
Prof. VIM. H. HoltzclaW was
born in Roanoke, Alabama. Enter
ing famed Tuskegee where his
exceptional abilities and brilliance
as a student marked him for the
career which led to the founding of
Utica Institute, from which he
gained national reputation as
an educator, became a protege of
the late Booker T. Washington, the
founder of Tuskegee, whose en-
couragement and assistance aided
in the founding of Utica Institute.
After completing his studies at
Tuskegee he studied at Harvard
University Cambridge, Mass. In
1903 he founded Utica Institute.

interest of the institution he early
gained wide acquaintance, and

which the First Regiment, Negro
training unit at Fort Mcclellan,
passed in review to honor the SER

The act of courage for which he
was decorated occurred while he
was leading the rookie soldiers OF
his company through one of IRTC's

Scott, General Manager of the

the induction of him on the grounds
that Lucas had never been given
a deferred classification for which
he was eligible according to Occu-
pational Bulletin No. 20 issued by
the National Headquarters of the
Selective Service advising that GER
tain employees of newspapers be
classified as essential.
The National Headquarters OF
the Selective Service refused to
intervene to delay Lucas induction
on the grounds that his classifica-
ton by the Local Board was I'M
animously upheld by the Local
Appeal Board.
Besides IL employees who have
been indicted into the Army from
the WORLD staff, there has been
a loss of three employees by en-
listment and loss of four en-
ployees to War Industries during
the past IL months. Only a few
replacements have been available.
The WORLD normally employed
ten linotype operators but now
has only seven-three men ana
four women of whom two OF the
latter are just apprentices.
It is believed that Lucas is the
first Negro linotype operator to be
