A BRAVE NEW WORLD
- WITH LAUGHTER

A group of cartoons. that APP
peared i'll a Belgian underground
newspaper and were smuggled out
of the country. have now been
published in a booklet by the Bel
gian Information Center in New
York.
The cartoons do not always seem
very funny. Perhaps this is due
to the difference in national out
look. Perhaps it is because the
subject matter itself is pretty
grim-dealing as it does with lite
in Belgium under the Nazi rule.
But the important fact is that
the Belgians have not lost their
sense of humor. They show thai
they can not only laugh, but laugh
at themselves. That is wholesome
! and encouraging When people
laugh. they behave like human
beings; for laughter, human at
tribute, is a devine gift which
seems to have given to mankind
alone of all creatures. 50 far as
anybody knows no animal can
laugh. But as everybody knows,
almost any animal can growl. roar,
snarl. bite and rend So can any
human being. if he is willing to act
like beast.
The world has need of laughter,
for people are by nature gay until
they begin to take themselves too
seriously. Peasants of every wes-
tern nation danced and laughed
and frOlicked on the green in
spite of their troubles and they
had plenty of them. Their rulers,
who thought it necessary to main
tain an outward show of solemn
dignity. kept court testers to pro-
vide laughs when the going got
too heavy.
Laughter is democratic 1t can
not long live side-by-side with ty-
ranny. Hitler and Mussrline knew
it, SO their very first edict, in
cluded The Suppression of humor.
Mussol;Ei should have been
more wise He should have known
that Italians. by l;"ture, have a

'AII-Out Push
.Due-Knox

Washington, Dec. 14-(UP)-Sec-
rotary of the Navy Frank Knox said
today that preliminaries are out OF
the way in the Pacific and that the
United States is getting ready to
deliver powerful offensive blows
against the Japanese.
1--WE are getting stronger and
stronger Knox said at news
conference. THE preliminaries are
out of the way and we are getting
ready to drive home some hard
blows.
Operations Of our combined sea,
air and land forces in all areas OF
the Pacific are going forward in
very satisfactory way.
1--WE now have the equipment and
trained men to do complete job.
Few people appreciate the work that
goes into the job-months and
months of preparation.
"Of course, the whole strategy Is
becoming apparent as these things
dveelop. 1t is perfectly obvious now
| that what seemed to be only nib
bling was carried on with the pur-
pose of progressively decimating the
enemy's air and surface strength.
The enemy has contributed to that
by sending out small task forces
which are regularly overwhelmed.
This has enabled us to nip off very
important elements of the Japanese
fleet piecemeal."
One of the striking developments
in recent months, Knox said Is that
I'VE very seldom encounter Japanese
transport or cargo carrying ships
in outlying ports"
has resorted to small, self-propelled
barges to carry both supplies and
men," he added. fortunately we
have the weapons to meet them.
They are the particular prey of the
PIT boats. Hundreds of bargeS
have been sunk and thousands of
troops lost in attempts to reinforce
beleaguered garrisons."
Knox said American air superb
GRITTY in the Pacific continued I'M
| challenged. Actual figures on air
losses, he added, continue to run
between six and eight to one in favor
of our air forces. This. he suggested,
was due to the steady attrition OF
enemy pilots over a period of
months.
Knox again derided Japanese
claims of losses inflicted on Ameri-
can sea forces. He cited the latest
one that the U. S. carrier fleet in
the Marshall Islands area had been
completely wiped out
This is all being done for purely
! propaganda and psychological pur-
poses, he said. las a matter of fact
there hasn't been a fight of any sig
! nificance for month except for
hit-and-run affairs-with the Japa-
nese doing the running.
