Macarthur Lauded
For Leadership

When the chapter of war history
dealing with the Battle Of New
Guinea is written, it will be one Of
the most important in the whole
book. That is what military men
here tell me.
They began telling me that bit by
bit just before the second front in
Africa opened. Then the African
story wiped everything else off the
first pages. Recently they have been
talking about New Guinea again.
They keep saying to me little re-
proachfully, "the American people
don't realize what Macarthur has
achieved down in that jungle coun-
try"
These aren't the Macarthur
men"-there are such in the army,
a little group of hero worshipers who
perhaps worship bit more fervently
than logically. But the men who
have watched the New Guinea cam
paign from Moresby straight up over
the Owen Stanley range and down
the other side and up to the eastern
coast of the island tell me that Mac
Arthur and the leaders he has about
him have done great and sig
nificant job.
It is great because he has accom-
plished what it was freely predicted
the Japs could not do (and didn't.
It is significant because it has proved
that Australians and Americans, CIV
en- the training, can beat the Jap at
his own game. They can (and have)
beaten him with less training, with
out the fatalistic quality of the Jap,
whose religion is to die rather than
surrender even when dying isn't a
military necessity.
There are two reasons, which mill
tary men put forward why the battle
of New Guinea has not been painted
in its true colors-represented in its
true Importance. One is the fact
that Macarthur leans backward in
his communiques. Another is a
peculiar copy-desk prejudice Of
American newspapers, which causes
them to play down reports from the
distance and play up the reports
from the war department in Wash
ington.
There are two reasons why Mac
Arthur's reports are given out from
his headquarters in Australia instead
Of by the war department in Wash
ington. One is that the Australians
(and perhaps MacArthur) want it
that way, and another is because
American newspapers, who pay a
lot of money to keep correspondents
in that area, don't like to have their
men scooped by Washington.
Why He IL Winning
Macarthur may have another rea-
son for not ballyhooing his achieve
ments. He was beaten in Bataan.
He may feel that until he has a
complete victory to his credit, he
doesn't want to sing too loudly.
But Macarthur has won so far in
New Guinea because the men under
his command were able to do what
they never had a chance to do on
Bataan because of lack Of numbers,
supplies and food.
On New Guinea they were able to
do better than the Japs could, the
very things which the Japs could do
best. And they did it in the kind of
jungle country in which that "best"
was even better. They were able
to adapt themselves to the environ
ment which required a kind of fight
ing and kind of endurance for
which the Japanese had spent years
in preparing. The kind Of fighting
that resulted in the fall Of Singapore
and the kind which the conventional
British soldiers-even the Far East

the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

She is a sWeet-faced grandmoth-
er who is perfectly content TO be
her age, yet she fits into a crowd
Of young people SO easily that she
puts none of them on their guard
When drinks are served she
takes one-never more, but always
one.
She is perfectly at home with her
married children'S friends. She has
her say in any conversation, but
she doesn't demand the center of
the stage or act as though, because
she is older her opinion is law.
1t is no accident that she is that
kind of grandmother. She had to
make herself accept the smoking,
drinking, and frank talk of young
people.
She had to learn not to say mo
thank you" when offered drink
herself.
Here is her explanation OF why
she bothered: q soon discovered
after my children were grown and
married, with homes of their own,
that if I was to fit into their lives,
even for short visits, and be ac-
cepted as human being rather
than an old person By their friends
had to get rid of some of my pre-
judices.
"I didn't want 10 be shut out of
my childrens world completely,
and SO I stopped trying to force
my ideas of behavior on them -
and accepted their ideas. After all,
they are young and it is their ideas
that rule today"
It is a pity more parents don't
make that effort, instead of shut
ting themselves off from their chill
dren by clinging to their old-fash-
ioned ideas and trying to force them
on their own children.

Figures just published by the
War Department give added reason
to question whether it is desirable
to put 100000 men into uniform
by the end Of this year.
Even with these figures it is not
possible to build up. for public in
formation, a mathematical proof
that would be holeproof. Part of
the necessary material is known
only to a few very highly placed
officials. and other can not be
printed without danger of giving
aid to the enemy.
However, from usable, generally
known facts, the nature of the ar
gument can be indicated clearly.
Every soldier serving overseas, the
army reports, requires Sc pounds of
cargo a day. This multiplies to Is
tons a year Each Liberty ship,
an average of three round
trips a year, can transport $4,000
tons a year. That is, one Liberty
ship must be kept shutting back
and forth across the oceans for
every 1000 men we maintain over
seas.

HITLER EXPERTS TO WIN
(0roVille Mercury

AOi0Niii1 Sai y
Anyone who feels at all complacent
about this war should for his own good
and the good of his country read "How
Hitler Plans to VIM in the American
Legion Magazine, or he can find it in this
months Readers Digest. Wythe Will
liams, one of the two authors, has spent
% years in Europe. and has news sources
denied to most These sources have told
him that Hitler still thinks he will win
and that the German generals also be-
lieve they will win if the Nazi party sup
plies the facilities they have undertaken
to deliver. They plan to win by moving
their war industries eastward out of
range Of Allied planes, and by crippling
the Allied war effort by means of the
U-boat. Williams points out that the con-
struction of U-boats is to be increased to
$50 year, which is times the expected
maximum loss and that the Allies will
have to build 25,000,000 tons of shipping
annually to keep pace with sinklngs, If
German plans work out.
German propaganda, he says, it to be
directed .,J informing the American peo-
pie of the futility of their effort, parti-
cularly after an invasion attempt has
piled up huge casualties. We are to be
told that our bloody losses not only are
1ullle, out lnal lHS snip SlHkllSS are
making US a nation of paupers.
Very briefly, that is the plan. The
Germans believe that if they can stall
our war effort long enough we shall be
ready for negotiated peace, which
would be a sufficient Nazi victory
Recently we commented on the admin
istrations silence as to our losses to the
U-boat campaign. Can it be that our
leaders in Washington already are fear
iEg to tell US the truth? We said at that
time the silence would be justified only
if the losses have failed to delay an i'm
pending invasion of Europe in great
force We still believe that is the fact:
that the invasion is coming soon and that
it will be successful. But back in our
minds it is we'll to remember that the
Axis think it will win and believes the
U-boats will tell the story

So They Say

The private who is out there
getting shot at does most of the
work in this war. He gets little
credit out of it, too. A man can be
as ferocious as the devil back home
on three hot meals a day, but 1t
takes CUTS to live in a foX-hole in
the rain eating cold rations.-Lieut.
Gen. George S. Patton, Jr.
When spiritual responsibility does
not keep pace with material dis
covery and invention, true progress
ceases. - Leslie d. Weatherhead,
British pastor.
Right cannot be determined by
the criterion of whether it is USE
ful or otherwise. The right of the
Individual as those of the society
are limited b. eternal ustice. =
Bishop of Berlin.
Postwar America must be a land
where private enterprise is secure,
where the individual will be willing
to venture, where the hope of re-
ward for individual initiative will
outweigh the fear of loss. 1t is that
spirit of venture, of taking chance,
tnat has built America-CoV. John

A CIVILIAN NECESSITY
(Palo Alto Times)

If there is to be some increase in pro-
duction of civilian goods, as recent news
items out of Washington indicate, the
urgent need for more pressure cookers
should be forced on the attention of those
directors and agencies involved in decid-
ing such matters. And quickly.
Food must be preserved in unpreced-
ented quantities in the homes if nutrition
levels are to be maintained. Fruit can
be canned safely by the housewife with
out pressure cooker, but preservation
of vegetables and meats by other methods
are dangerous.
The price Of improper preservation of
foods, forced by rationing and impend-
ing shortages, will be paid in lives-for
this type of poisoning is almost invar
iably fatal,

We did not start this war. Our talents
and our energies have gone into the ways
of peace. But once this conflict was
thrust upon us, we have shown the world
that we shall not turn back. We shall
not fater in our duty.-Manpower Direc-
tor Paul V. McNutt
Imperial Valley press., 1943-04-09

So far as can be learned. we now
are building ships faster than sub
marines are sinking them. To this
extent we are building up our ag-
gregate cargo capacity.
But serVicing our overseas army
is not the only function of our
cargo fleet. There is the actual
transport of men abroad. There is
lease-lend equipment and material
to be taken to Britain, Russia, Chi
ma, and elsewhere in lesser quanti-
ties. There is importation of raw
materials, needed for war industry,
from sources SO located that they
can not be brought as return load
in army cargo ships.
If servicing an overseas force of
2,500000 would SO strain our fa-
cilities, what is the purpose of an
army OF 100000 men? Is it the
plan to assemble the army and pray
for some break? Would it not be
wiser TO keep as many men as pos
sible turning out war material,
building ships, growing food, until
they can be used as soldiers within
Il foreseeable future?

CURRENT QUOTATIONS

We misjudge the highest nature of

them-again to force them out OF
formation, and then fighter attacks
concentrating on the stragglers.
Even at Schweinfurt, where the
hombers ran into the heaviest con-
centration of enemy interceptors
yet encountered and lost their
highest proportion of heavy bonn
bers, this method did not prevent
the bombing of the critically i'm
portant ball and roller bearing fac
tories in the German city.
The development of German
fighter tactics has been followed
inevitably by higher losses of bonn
bers on occasional missions, but it
can be stated fatty that these loss
es have not been considered excess
sive, and that they have not been
followed by an hesitancy on the
part of the Eighth Air Force COM
mand or crews, or by the slightest
intention to ''let up on the bomb
ing assault.
Having solved the problem of
getting to the targets through bad
weather, provided the target itself
is reasonably cloud-clear, the
Eighth Air Force is massing its
strength for even heavier winter
assaults on Germany. It is also
getting the long-range fighters
which will reduce the effectiveness
of enemy interrogation.
