there was substantial degree of substandard

The Task Ahead Inn the Pacific

u OBJ CONSIDINE. International News Serv-
ID ice war correspondent, who has recently
returned to the United States from his assign
ment in England, is convinced that the much
discussed second front" in Western Europe
is not mere probability but long estab
ll5.lSG iael.
Speaking before luncheon club in New
York City Mr.. Considine said
a second front already exists in the air.
THE American Eighth Air Force sends
5000 American boys deep into the heart of
Germany on a single mission and they fight
all the way.
Opposing them are at least million
Germans.
They are not raids. They are definitely
separate INNASIONS."
A s Mr.. CONSIDINE says, the air front
~ meets all The specifications of sec
ond front" and as far as the boys themselves
are concerned:
They know they are up against a scri-
Gus, determined, fanaticaI enemy, flying
excellent planes"
Moreover, according to Mr.. Considine, the
American fighting men in EuroTe are per-
fectly aware that their job Will not be done
when the war in Europe is over.
In contrast with the attitude prevailing
in high political circles in the United States,
in fact, they are perfectly aware that Amer
ica's OWN war in the Pacific is being held
in abeyance while they are doing their job in
Europe.
A Nd they are impatient TO GET AT the
- big job in the Pacific that still lies ahead
Of them.
You think they would be sick of all talk
OF war after what they have been through"
says Mr. Considine
Yet they say things like this:
Boy, waitl We get chance 20 hit

for"
They do not even HATE the Germans
as they do the Japs
They want TO exterminate the Germans"
as Mr. Gonsidine reports, "but there Is no
pnysiCai, stomach turning hatred. .ntS re-
serve that for the japanese"
THE concluding observation this brilliant
i American reporter makes about the
valiant American fighting men in Europe is
that:
Our boys over there have not forgotten
the Japs.
when their job is done in Europe, they
want crack at the little brown men.
They won't even ask for n rest In between
their wars"
1t is not surprising that the nations fighting
men regard the war in the Pacific as Americas
REAL war. and are seriously concerned about
holding II in abeyance and are impatient TO
take a crack at II.
'NHE American people as whole are well
aware OF The ominouS and tremendous task
ahead OF the nation IN the Pacific.
Only the European-minded politicians in
the United States blind to our great task in
Pacific
II IS not me lighting men or the people,
but the politicians who so sensitive about
taking care OF Europe first and who are respon-
