Churchill's Message

In his radio broadcast from Quebec, Prime
Minister Churchill of Great Britain made il
very clear that so far as the United States
and Britain are concerned second land front

land, in the United States or at Moscow.

whenever the blow is struck you may be sure
it will be because we are satisfied that there
is good prospect of continuing success and
that our soldiers lives are expended in &C
cordance with sound military plans and not
squandered for political considerations of any
kind
1t would be difficult, if not impossible, to
state the case more plainly. Hopefully it will

it stems, not from political or administrative
heads. 1t embodies the cold calculated de-
cision of the joint military leadership which
is chiefly concerned with winning battles.
The main object before Mr.. Churchill, when
he stood before the mike at Quebec, was to
explain why Josef Stain was not in attendance
at the conferences recently held on the Plains
of Abraham, and to voice the hope that he
may soon join Mr.. Roosevelt and himself in
discussions of the practical realistic problems
involved in overthrowing Germanys armed
might. The natural hope is that such a meet
ing may soon be arranged, but whether it
is or not we have need to accept Mr.. Church
ills view as sound one, and give support
to it on the ground that it embodies the best
military thought, and also as an acknowledg
ment of Mr.. Churchills further assertion that

Recreation Meeting

With Jesse Reynolds the city's newly EN-
ployed recreation director, busy drafting a
program, the coming Of DR.. Harold D. Meyers
executive secretary of the state recreation
committee is timely. His address next Tues
day evening at the USO center at Second
and Orange will have real value for recre-
ation-rninded residents.
Recreation is an essential item in the COM
muitys war effort, and an assured means
of reducing juvenile delinquency. The more
the people of Wilmington know about it, the
better they understand the methods employed
be prepared to support Mr.. Reynolds efforts
1t is important therefore, that as many
persons as can do 80 attend this meeting
and hear Doctor Meyers who besides being
an entertaining speaker is notable authority
on the subject. 1t was because of his expert
ence and deep knowledge of directed recre-
alton that Governor Broughton elevated him
to his responsible position in the states set-up
A large committee has been named to con.
tact organizations and groups with the pur-
pose of extending to them an invitation to
hear Doctor Meyers. 1t is impossible for
these committee members to reach every per.
son interested in recreation. But the fact that
you have not received a personal bid should
not keep you away.

Weapon Of Mercy, Too

We have heard about the splendid feats of
American and British Air Forces in the Medi-
terranean theater, and our hearts are thrilled
by accounts Of their exploits But little or
nothing has been said about their humani.
tartan services.
Now we learn by cable from London that
during the Sicilian campaign 1888 patients
were evacuated by plane to the north African
mainland and from forward hospitals along
the quickly changing battlefronts to base hos
pitfalls in Algeria and Egypt.
The men thus sped to safe Ravens included
both wounded and sick soldiers Many of the
doctors engaged in this work were also pilots
and flew their own planes. The r. A. F. pro.
vided medical orderlies for all planes and
the American air evacuation service used its
own surgeons and nurses.
In addition to actual evacuation the air
forces supplied mobile field hospitals, equip
ped with operating theaters, x-ray sections
and clinical laboratories. They also provided
emergency surgery and treatment in the field
and selected and prepared cases for aerial
evacuation In one Sicilian action, the larg-
est of it's kind in this theater Of war; 40
cases were safely evacuated from a position
virtually behind the enemy's line.
Since air transport for casualties was launch
ed in 1918, great advances have been made.
Tn 1871 more than 1908 casualties were evac-
uated by air, mainly in the western desert.
During 1912, 10000 cases were so handled in
the Middle East. Up to May, l943 more taan

BY RAYMOND CLAPPER

WASHINGTON, sept. /. Neat
justice would be done if the small
countries such as Denmark and
Bulgaria should prove Hitler's I'M
doing.
He always has had contempt
for the small nation, contempt for
the independence and dignity of
the weaker person and the weaker
people. In the beginning, when
nobody was prepared, he found
it easy to lay his iron fist on
every neighbor from Norway to
Bulgaria,
| Hitler and his military machine
did an efficient job. Nothing like
it had ever been seen. Military
men on the Allied side had not
thought that it could be done. But
as we are beginning to see now,
efficiency is not enough. You can
put your heel on the neck of a
weaker person. Perhaps you can
kill him. You may kill thousands
of his neighbors. But somehow
you fail to kill the spirit. Modern
warfare seems not to have found
the way to achieve that. Hitler
no doubt thought he had done it.
At times it seemed as if he had.
But we see now that it has not
been done. In Denmark, the Nazis
worked with all of their cunning
to develop a model of an occu-
pied country. Denmark was the
only occupied country allowed to
retain the government elected by
its own people. Only Danes, of
all occupied peoples, were allowed
to listen to the foreign radio. They
had caused Hitler little trouble
when he went in and he would re-
ward them and show other small
countries how loose the N All
chains would be if they would be-
have. But even loose chains are
heavy. Danes have grown weary
of dragging them. Hence the ex-
plosions that have forced the NaZis
to take harsh measures in Den
mark after the mild occupation
which has lasted three years and
five months.
In Sweden last spring. informa-
ton coming out of Denmark indi-
Gated there would be trouble. On
May Is, l wrote about it from
Stockholm, saying that even when
Nazis are on their best behavior
they cannot make subject people
accept their New Order. At that
time, it was clear the Nazis had
failed to win over the people. So
much sabotage had developed that
the Nazis persuaded King Chris
tian to appeal for order. Now
he has been interned His army
and navy officers are being ar
rested. After the British lombard
ment of the Burmeister and Vain
works in Copenhagen on Jan. 27,
sabotage increased. Now the Dan
ish fleet has been scuttled.
The Danish people, except for
a small minority, never accepted
the idea of collaboration, and a
strong underground press flour
ished. Even the censored press
was full of kind of double-talk
that passed the German censors.
This is most embarrassing
time for Hitler to be compelled
to divert troops to pacify and gar
rison additional territory His lines
are bending like a hairpin in Rus
STA. The Allies are threatening
Italy. Now he must throw the
weight of armed force to hold
down the lid in Denmark. He must

And the man who did it wore the same
uniform as the men he picked for his victims.
He surely is not far behind Hitler
