A Word Of Truth

IN THE preface to his significant book on the
Pacific war, Report from Toxic" the former
American ambassador to Japan, Mr.. Joseph C..
Grew, said the purpose of the book was to OVER
COME A FALLACY.
He said that since his return from Japan he
had encountered habit of thinking clearly inhu
enced by preconceived but unfounded assumptions
as to Japan's comparative weakness and vulner-
ability in war"
Such thinking, said Mr-Grew, is not only
erroneous, but
IF persisted in, it will be a serious obstacle
to ultimate victory"
Mr.. Grew is in error in only one respect, and
even then as a probable concession to his diplo-
matte training.
He ascribed the fallacy about Japan which
he hoped his book would overcome to "the think
ing of large proportion of my fellow country
men,
IT is NOT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
WHO HAVE MISJUDGED THE MENACE OF
JAPAN.
1T is ONLY THE AMERICAN GOVERN
MENT WHICH HAS DONE so.
THE American people have been entirely realistic
about the imposing military power of Japan
from the beginning of the war.
The people have been gravely concerned about
the progressive Japanese conquest and occupation
of NEARLY ALL THE SOUTH PACIFIC AREA
EXCEPT AUSTRALASIA.
The people SUPPOSED that the time so dearly
bought by the retreats from the Philippines, Guam,
Wake, and the Dutch East Indies would be used to
assemble forces in the Pacific capable of throwing
the Japanese out of the invaded regions.
But dscouragingy, we do not have forces
assembled in the Pacific capable of doing what the
people desired and SUPPOSED would be done
W. HAT our forces HAVE done has been very
w valiant.
The turning back of an invading armada at
Midway was glorious achievement.
The naval air victories in the Coral and Savo
Seas were magnifcently achieved

fessed late today to the

McGrath.
According to Prosecutor
William E. Bowling, Childress

injured the mother of six in a
struggle that accompanied his
attempts to attack her.
FELT KIND OF FUNNY
He insisted he did not recall
details of the crime.
IL felt kind OF funny" Bowling
quoted the killer. Everything
was vague"
Childress admitted the charge,
Bowling declared, after he had
been confronted with reputedly
irrefutable evidence and subjected
TO constant questioning.
He has promised to fill in the
blank spaces later" the prose-
cutor added.
Childress told detectives, Dow
ling said, that he visited the Nc
Grath apartment at 1922 Cass
avenue after drinking party at
the home of friend. \
Jas In his original story, he
told how he had asked several
cab drivers 10 get MIN a bottle

streets for a half hour he found
himself In the neighborhood OF
the McGrath fat, where he and
his wife had once lived

She told him her husband was
not home.

grabbed hold of her arms.
TELLS OF BATTLE

members hitting her under the

his advances.
"Childress says he does not
remember what happened next.
However. he does confess that

woman was alive when he left
the apartment.

The annual income of the American public, after

But because of the demands of wartime there will be
only about $50 100000 worth of civilian goods and
services for sale The difference is S45.00000000O,

can do only by bidding against our neighbors Tor
scarce goods, with the inevitable consequence that
prices will shoot up and dreaded imitation VIII be

That is the picture as the life insurance COM
panies of America see it - and it concerns them
gravely because they the trustees OF b1,0o0UUU
pocyholders in the United States On an average
two persons each family in America have entrusted
them with money and are depending upon them for
support in old age and for the of their loved

Life insurance is a veritable backbone of our
socio-economic structure and the impact OF initiation
upon it would be grim indeed, Widows and orphans,
and the aged living upon annuties would find their
estates dwindling in terms of real value.
Therefore, the life insurance companies OF Am

HOW BEST TO SERVE

Reports from the States say that thousands of
boys and girls those In normal times would have
completed high school, leaving to take up
work The youth of Alaska is facing the problem
today
Many view with alarm the tendency OF sixteen
and -olds nterrupting their educational
careers to do what they think something to help win
the war And it is indeed difficult thing to see at
first glance how attending school can help.
The motives which call boy from the schoolroom
are understandable The desire to do something definite
to help win the is paramount. The attraction of
high wages, and inducements of those who thought
essy or otherwise fill jobs by exploiting the labor Of
youth and others
Youths finishing high school should not be called
upon to leave school long there are still large
portions labor still employed in the production of
essential goods
The greatest service a boy of 16 or II can render
to the war effort today is get ready for the call
which will come when he 18 There is assurance
that this will end this year, next year or the next
Time after time Army and Navy officials and those
of industry, point out that youth should use the
years up to 10 to build the foundations for broad
education In that way lies the greater national
service.
Education also should be secured now that will
be sorely needed in the highly competitive labor
market of the postwar world.

In either case, timidity, caution
fear become the guiding instincts

Dean Acheson, who had more sense
of humor before he became Assist

partment policies take their cue
from the Pullman car sign: Quiet

Around Secretary Hull, as a re-
suit of this system, are gathered the

of dinner-table companions to be
