STRENGTH PROVED
BY OPPOSITION

II has been only by ceaseless,

of daylight bombing of Europe,

boss Of the bombers here. then As
commander Of the whole Air
Force - al last has a real force
at his disposal.
Satisfied? It's impossible 10

feated. General Eaker told
me. But I'm cheerful about the
rate Of building. We now have a
bomber force big enough TO do a
real job. Today we are meeting
four times as much fighter oppo-
Sition as we met last fall. Tha, s
how Germany estimates our i'm

Not being satisfied is typical
of the soft-spoken General. His
quiet. almost casual, manner
masks his driving. keen, ruthless
mind. He deals in blacks and
whites. never grays It's either
yes" or no never maybe" 1t
was his forceful yes rather
than a maybe" that finally de-
feated the critics of daylight
bombing.
Months Of long days of cease
less work are behind General
Eaker's victories. His day starts
with breakfast with six staff Of
ficers who live with him in a
handsome Stucco house in a Lon
don suburb close to his office. He
is at his office al about $50. 1t is
spacious corner room in one of
the sprawling temporary build

One of the light yellow brick
walls is entirely covered with a
huge map of the European
theatre of operations. Other

and operational charts. On one
side of the room there's a long
table where the General lunches
daily with his staff and guests.

THE SAME DIS-SERVICE
An example of similar dis
service was the article in the July
Readers Digest telling the senti-
mentally fooled story of Mrs. Grace
Naismith's work spreading the doc
trine of birth control in rural areas.
How destructive is the teaching
that was extolled in the article
was brought out by DR.. Edgar
Schneider, director of the Fam
lily Life Bureau Of the National
Catholic Welfare Conference. in a
letter to the editor of the Digest.
DR.. Schneider states that Chicago
represents the national havoc be-
ing wrought by the birth-control-
lers. Today out of the 842,678 fam
lilies in Chicago 534,125 are child
less. And each family must have
at least two children to keep the
population of our country at sta
tiorary level!
But the evil does not stop in Chi

lation of the country stationary

A LOST PROMISE
If Christians had acted like
Christians In the Far East Japanese
Christians would number millions
today instead of thousands and his
tory would have followed a less
bloody pattern.
Professor Masaharu Anesaki OF
the Tokyo Imperial University, not
Christian, some years ago pub
lished report with convincing
proof that in the year of 1900 there
were more than million Catholics
in Japan. the majority of whom
died for the faith. That much of
the persecution that destroyed the
harvest planted by Francis Xavier
was initiated by Christians can be
established by historical fact.
st. Francis stated that the Jap
anese would make excellent Cath
olics and that If they were d.
rected toward good they would be
an honor to God and the Church.
Their many martyrs proved his
judgment as did the thousands of
Catholics whom Father Petitjean
Of the French Foreign Mission So
ciety found still keeping the faith
in 1867 after two hundred and fifty
years without priests and Sacra-
ments. When he visited them this
missionary found that they had no
books, no crucifixes and no rosar-
les, but they knew their prayers
and they kept the Lenten fasts be-
cause they had kept up series of
well-trained catechists who taught
accurately from memory who bap-
tized the children properly and who
assisted at marriages which were
always in public. They knew their
prayers. They knew of the Mass
and the Sacramento.
JAPANESE CATHOLICS
Father Charles Robinson who for
many years was missionary in
Japan and who now teaches jap
anese for the Army in st. Louis
University, states that the Japanese
Catholics of today, although they
are numerically insignificant among
their non-Christlan fellow-country-
men, have the same strong faith as
had the earlier Christians.
If one of them wishes to say
his rosary on the street car" he
states, he doesn't hide his beads in
his sleeve; he holds his rosary in
his hands and says his prayers as
he pleases; let another think what
he will. When he goes to confess
sion he means 1t. The purpose of
amendment is sincere. If an occa-
sion of sin has to be avoided the
penitent has already taken the
means to avoid that occasion be-
fore he goes to confession Other
wise there is no confession"

When war cut US off from new supplies Of silk

There wos one major difficulty The better hos

An alternative was to press Hubby into service os

Moreover, bachelor girls just anxious to

The device now available enables any woman to
