Primitive Warfare
Cincinnati Eno,,irerl

Cincinnati Enquirer
 When broke upon the world in September of 1889, it was mechanized war at breath taking tempo. It was war of intricate machines of mas sive fire power, of lightning communications. As the Nazi hordes rolled over Poland and then after an interval smashed through the Low Countries and France, it was the universal assumption that war had been graduated now into the realm of a formidable technology. N sN That may be the fact so far as most operations are concerned Our naval vessels our great bombers our rolling fortresses called tanks are all complex weapons. Each soldier today has at his beck a wealth of mechanized equipment scarcely imagined even 25 years ago.
 And yet there campaigns in which these things count for ittle in which the nfantryman is supreme. There even operations in remote junges in which the crying need is for the skills found in first-class squirrel hunters Such a cam paign is the one now waged New Guinea, and with increasing by American and Australian lads
 To be sure, there are Flying Fortresses and Marauders overhead protected at times by Lightning interceptors. The men on the ground at Sanananda Point may have been brought originally to the front in great military transport planesiracles Of tech nical development Yet there in the steaming jun gle, facing the foxholes of resourceful enemy who depends chiefly well-hidden snipers, it is the infantryman who must take position and hold it.
 Officers who have been through the New Guinea campaign to the capture of Coma and Buna contend that the most pressing need is for crack shots who know something about woodcraft To clean out nests of jungle fighters there is needed gen. eration of Daniel Boones These infantrymen do not need to know how to take apart internal combustion engine. But they do need to know how to stalk single enemy sniper whose habits closer to those of monkeys than of men

The American Jewish congress sadly conversant with the progress of Hters purpose to exterminate the Jewish people in Europe asserts that belated United Nations victory may nowhere find, in all the continent, of that race to release from an incredibly cruel captivity. This organization sug- gests that commission be immediately appointed to investigate the crimes against the Jews and other civilian populations with view to bring the crin1- nals to the of justice But, except that fight to conclude the war in victory as soon as may be what remedial preventive steps can be taken? The sadstc oppressors of the European Jews already have committed themselves by the enormity of their crimes to the scaffold If remnant of the Jewish people is to be saved inc Europe the of battle must be against time.

Conflicting planetary aspects are active today. The stars smile upon industry which should accomplish much under this configuration.

 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Through channels opened by war emergen- cies new ideas will gain promin- ence in business methods. Humaaili- tarian plans will be made to elim- mate poverty, but the seers warn that sound principles in, the com mercial world must rule. The cap italistic system will not be abol- ished although it will be greatly modified as competition in trade is placed on plane that prevents monopolies and other curtailments of freedom.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Scientific methods of caring for the children of working mothers are to prove SC conducive to welfare and devel- opment that they promise great Improvement in postwar laome training and feeding. Early asso- ciation with groups of boys and girls will be fortunate in the elimination. of selfishness, the seers point out, and thus the faults com mon among "only" children will the United States have become re- the nited States have become re- sponsible for many latter day so- cinl problems.

 HEART AND HOME: This is an suspicious date for visits from men in uniform who have leaves or fur loughs and seems to presage good luck in the way of promotions Honors will be earned by many in an engagement a month hence, it is predicted. Good news for many families is forecast. Illnesses due to seasonal epidemics will be slight in many cases, due to recent ad- vances in medication. Again the seers prophecy that religious teach CTS will command wide attention. The sudden fall of the black forces of evil is prognosticated.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Improve ment in business management which is to distinguish postwar con- ditions should begin this year in the establishment of equitable re- lations between labor and capital. Tn Government groups labor is to be represented, as the worker is recognized in his right place in the national economy. Women are to advance to equality with men in many lines of industry as well as in the learned professions.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Back of all the practical aims that will be prominent in educational institu- tions will develop the idea of pre- pairing the rising generation for it's varied responsibilities in the dawn ing Aquarian age when radical changes in communication, trans portation and instruction will be made New uses of air and electro magnetic forces will convert every day living Amazing discoveries re- garding electricity will transform human relations and alter tn ( mental outlook INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Iceland is to be prominent in news headlines in coming months when foresight in sending troops to the north will be Justified.

1t also brought indications OF an
other veto tussle between congress
and President Roosevelt. Both Re-
publican and Democratic leaders
predicted that the chief executive
would veto the bill which kills the
rollback- subsidy ogram even
though it carries an extension of
life for the Commodity Credit cor
poration.
Three times within two weeks Mr..
Roosevelt has denounced critics of
that program and challenged them
to offer better plan for holding

gress that 100 per cent responsible

The northwest African air forces

coincident with reports of new AL

off italy as signs accumulated that
the expected heavy fighting in the
Mediterranean might not be far off.
American and British bombers
teamed in pulverizing assaults day
and night on battered Sicily, and
the British admiralty announced
that submarines had sunk four to
nine Axis ships in Italian waters.
Axis radios blared increasingly
with hints and outright warnings
of imminent Allied operations
against the southern section of
Adolf Hitlers continental defenses,
proclaiming another invasion fleet"

More Tires Needed

LOS ANGELES, July l. (UP)-
The number of grades of available
automobile tires are entirely out of
balance with needs in Southern
California, and speedy change in
the ALLEGATION system will be sought,
the district Office of Price Admin

Working to forestall a serious
threat to war worker transportation,
OPA Director Samuel Leask, Jr.,
said this area must have more
Grade 1 tires than currently are

Grade III tires are relatively more
abundant but are not suitable for
