considerable fighting took place.

as Q missionary in the early days of
Brazil.
Father Moore set out with a burial
party, and out of curiosity visited
the shrine. He found the monks
starving and in rags. There was a
big shell hole in the shrine wall. The
entrance door had been blown out.
The monks were greatly excited.

door, hit the floor and bounced over
the altar, leaving it undamaged. The

corGing to latest estimates available
here.
Italian investments in the United
States, on the other hand, repre-
sent only SIS, 100000.
The Mussolini government in
June, 1941, ordered registration of
all Italian-held assets in retaliation
for Washington action freezing
Axis funds here. The registration
order was the last definite word on
the American property.
Presumably the peace conference
will take up these property tangles,
and Congress probably would have
to act on the disposition of frozen
alien assets for which there now
are no governing laws.
OF the s75,OO0O0O of American
money invested in Italian industry,
according to Commerce Department
estimates at the end of 1910, more
than half-$38 900 000-was tied up
in petroleum refining and distribu-
ton facilities; $13,500,000 in manu-
featuring industries and $1,000, 900
in wholesale distribution facilities.
The remainder was Jumped under

Americans also owned approx
imately s73.000000 (par value) in
Italian bonds, of which roughly
s33, 900 900 represented Italian gov

Italian corporate enterprises. Amer

It appeared unlikely however.
that the overall, global war strate-
gy Wor,d be revised for this rea-
son. This strategy, it was pointed
out, has been calculated by the
President and chiefs of staff from a
purely military standpoint. More
ever, the war planners have known
about the Tokyo atrocities for some
time.
Among those urging immediate
augmentation of Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur's strength were Senators A.
b. Happy Chandler, Democrat.
Kentucky, and Edwin C. Johnson,
Democrat, Colorado.
Chambers aides said he had re-
ceiVed lat least several hundred"
communications endorsing his Sen
ate speech last Friday calling for
more aid to Macarthur. There was
not a single dissent, telegraphic or
mailed, they added.
FIRST-CLASS WAR
Johnson said we have a first
class war in the Pacific and urged
that I'VE give Macarthur every
thing he wants. We've been too
complacent about it," he added.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Re-
publican, Massachusetts, however,
thought the floor of Congress is
not the place to discuss military
strategy" Senator Homer Fergu-
son, Republican, Michigan, said, I'VE
should leave the technique of fight
ing to the general staff
But the army air forces are 60
ing to start getting their revenge
now Their chief, Gen. Henry H.
Arnold, sent this message to every
air force unit at home and abroad:
Remember those comrades when
you get a zero in your sights-have
their sacrifice before you when you
line up your bombsight on jap
anese base
Some day Arnold's men are going
to line up their sights on Tokyo
again and again. That has been
promised by President Roosevelt
and the War Department.
