WHY Is il that there Is so
much criticism as 10 lack OF
preplanning and co-ordinated
command. when there has never
been a single action since Pearl
Harbor in which these two sins
1f omission could be justly
charged?
Guadalcanal Is far more i'm
portant than simply as an air
base. The Nipponese knew that
unless they could drive south
ward as far as New Caledonia
and New Hebrides. and from
there cut our supply lines to
Australia that they could never
win the war.
While the battle for Guadal-
canal was taking place. the
United States had sufficient time
10 establish strong bases on New
Caledonia and New Hebrides.
Recently, talk would lead US
10 believe that the Japanese
were going TO exert another
strong naval effort 20 win back
this lost territory. Whether or
not this is true, no one knows
AZ this time. but IL is entirely
probable that such an effort in
great strength will Yet be made
by the japanese.

planned 10 be q base of oper-
atoms from which 10 drive the
japanese out Of the north Solo,
mon Islands, New Ireland and
New Britain.
The ideal method Of attack
against Nippon is 10 assault its
home islands-to bomb them lit
orally out OF the sea. But until
such time as the democracies
can obtain land bases on the
mainland Of Asia. either in China
or Siberia, the United Nations
must confine themselves 10
island-by-island operations.
The democracieS must hold
the offensive. Therefore, the

Unity Of Command

DEFEAT OF japanese troops
on Guadslcanal Island has dem
onStrated the cooperation in
battle among our navy marine
corps, air forces and army. II
ance- again nEaAeS- hat he
United Nations and The United
States have unity Of command
The navy alone. or the marine
corps without aid or the air
force without land troops, could
not have captured this strongly

The successful COORDINATION IN
attack Of all the armed forces
could never have been attained
had there not been one high
command AZ all times Of the en-
tire operation.
The fighting on Guadalcanal
and the seas adjoining II have
been AT times desperate Il is
doubtful IL history has ever re-
corded sea warfare that was
more killing in character. With
out this warship assistance, the
troops on Guadalcanal could not
have remained nor could they
have been supplied.
THERE WAS land fighting in
which our marines had 10 dig
into foxholes and refuse 10 re-
treat regardless of losses.
The air force has fought des-
perate battles with many casual
ties. but always at the rate Of
! 10 3 or 10 s in our favor and
against the enemy. But these
aerial dogfghts or the intensi-
fed bombing attacks OF our Fla
ing Fortresses could not have
captured Guadalcanal.
The fact that there was no
jealousy or discord when the
army took over from the ma
rineS in January is positive proof
OF the complete cooperation Of
American armed forces in this
war.

Showdown Is Inevitable

John L. Lewis has been forced to back water in his defiance of the United States Of America It may be that an armistice will be signed without further hostilitieS, other than verbal. It will be unfortu- nate if we permit such a superficial vic tory to throw us off guard, to divert us from the quest for permanent machin- cry for handling such situations. The United Nations cannot win this war, even now, unless this country sticks everlast- ingly to the job of production. Our pre- ponderance of material strength is too slight, too tenuous, to permit us to go back to business as usual. We cannot afford to have the coal mines shutting down for a few days at time whenever some bumptious man takes the notion. We cannot afford to have the production of synthetic rubber, of ships of planes, of tanks, of aviation gasoline and muni- tions, subject to stoppage for any cause whatever.
 As soon as Lewis caved in, temporarily, the thought was thrown out that we could forget anti-strike legislation, be- cause everything had become rosy. That is short-sighted attitude. It was not merely Lewis defiance of the government that made anti-strike legislation desir able. The coal situation merely drama tized the need, which had existed before and will continue to exist. Regardless of what happens to Lewis and his series of strikes against the security of the United States, showdown has to come on the general question whether anybody is entitled to let down our soldiers, sailors and marines who depend upon the prod uct of our factories.
 One buck private, discussing the coal strike, summarized the general sentiment thousands have expressed
 "I've been thinking-What would they do if the Army should strike? If we an- nounced we would not go on facing bull lets for $50 month without any limit on working hours?" What would we do? Probably shoot as many of the rebels as possible and imprison the rest. Is the work of the fighter more important than that of the men who make weapons with out which the fighter would be helpless? Three strikes alone, in May, cost us 675,- 900 man-days of production If the fighters had taken 675, ,000 man-days off in Tunisia and Attu, to strike for more pay or shorter hours, where would the cause of democracy be now?
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-06-12
It Must Always Be So

Reports drift back from the fighting fronts which indicate that some of the men in the service believe the government alone has been responsible for production achievements on the home front Appar- ently they feel that the government has turned out the record breaking number of tanks, guns and planes, and therefore it should take over industry, lock, stock and barrel after the war. Erroneous in- formation of this character should be dispelled, even though it is held by only a small minority, for it is upon just such fallacies that the demogogue hinges his appeal.
 Private industry is now producing nearly 1000 planes a month. Private industry in this country has done in two years what the Relationships took a decade to accomplish in the way of preparation for mechanical war. Private industry has built ships millions of tons of them - faster than they were ever built before
 Government regulates the flow of stra- tegic materials and takes over the i'm ished goods. In between these acts of government, the great bulk Of the war effort is being carried on by civilians, The natural resource industries, oil, mnlng, timber, and electric power, are the start ing point in a vast assembly line that terminates on the battlefield Private enterprise and private citizens keep the line moving That is the fundamental difference between this country and die tatorships. On the other side of mo- man's-land the initiative comes from gov ernment. Here the initiative comes from the individual. It must always be so In free country.
