THIS, TOO, IS AN
IMPORTANT JOB

Rep. Jerry Voorhis, CALIFORNIA; peren-
NAL friend of what might be conserNa-
lively described as extreme liberals, got
mad the other day because Chairman
Martin Dies of the house committee m
vestigating unAmerlcan activities TOOK
a slap at subversive elements within the
federal government and ignored the
chance of "stiffening resistance OF
the American people to open or covert
pro-axis propaganda
Voorhis thinks the Dies committee, of
which he is minority member, should
concentrate all Of its attention on laying
bare the propaganda methods OF the axis
nations in order to build "a vigorous and
unified Democratic sentiment IN the
United States.
Voorhis' words are timely, tuned to
popular note, and probably spoken IN all
sincerity-but they don't ring true at
bottom.
1t would be just as good logic for our
military and naval commanders to say
that, since Hitler is currently our NO.
enemy, we should absolutely ignore the
japanese, forgetting their very existence.
There are other enemies of America
working inside this country, besides the
pro-axis propagandists. They become
more dangerous by the fact of being lg-
nored. Just as the Japs would become
more dangerous if we refused to fight
them at all, anywhere, until after we have
licked Hitler.
Voorhis could not charge Dies with be-
INC pro-axiS because the record would
not support such a charge. Yet his IN
timation is that Dies is not so antl-aXls
as he should be. The facts, established
over a long period of activity by the Dies
committee, prove that the committees
revelations have played no favorites be
tween German bundists and Communist
popular front propagandists, but have
held both groups up as enemies OF TINS
country, working directly toward an
anti-democratic goal.
America is thoroughly awake against
pro-axis propaganda. What the Dies com,
mittee could do along that line would
be merely drop in the bucket. America
is not so we'll aware of the other sub
versive groups which imperil our form OF
government Perhaps the Dies commit
tee is doing the biggest service by show
ing the hidden danger, rather than the
one of which we all are aware.

Concerning the reports from Aus

has been detected at RaSaul, New

IT'S BACK AGAIN

1t looked for while like the old argu-
n1ent of airplanes versus battleshlpS had
been pretty we'll decided on points, with
the airplane the winner but the battle
ships still in the fight.
Now a new type battlewagon in the
southwest Pacific has shot down 30 OF
Japan's most effective planes which at
tackled in the greatest mass onslaught
of the war against one ship-and come
through with only minor damage.
So the argument will rage again.
Actually, what has happened is just
another phase of development both on
the sea and in the air. 1t is the history
of war Tat antidotes have always been
found f. every weapon. Newly design
ed battleships undoubtedly are capable
of repulsing most types of air attack.
Next, newly designed planes will be cap
able of getting through the defenses OF
these ships So the spiral goes.
1t will go on, undoubtedly, until air
planes have been built so large and so
efficient that they can partially replace
even the battleships in range and destruc-
tive capacity The chances are that stage
will not come during this war.
