Der Of such persons has greatly
diminished. They constitute today
an exceedingly tiny minority, and
there are not handful of men in
public life who advocate such a
course-not one important enough
to be an effective leader.
Isolationism is dead doctrine in
this country today. There Is no
political nourishment in cherishing
it, and those who fear that it will
rear its ugly head in the new ses-
sion Of Congress have misjudged the
popular feeling.
The overwhelming mass Of the
pepole know now that isolation for
us is an impossibility; that that
isn't the way to insure peace, it's
the way to insure war; that no
permanent peace is possible unless
we assume our full share of respon-
sibility for its preservation.
Most reasonable men are willing
to agree that had we done that last
time this war probably could have
been averted. The best evidence
Of the decay Of the isolation cause
is in the fact that the Republican

Army, Navy and Air Force-have
not yet received the praise and
publicity they deserve. This is
partly due to the policy of our
own propaganda services, partly
to the reluctance of the Navy to
blow its own horn too loudly and
partly to military exigencies.
For instance, when an "un-
named" battleship beats back a
Japanese air attack and downs
three dozen enemy planes the
matter is kept from the public
for several weeks while the de-
struction of 10 Nazi planes is
front-paged within a few hours
after the occurrence. When the
public relations services finally
decide to inform the public Of
such outstanding feats Of our
naval units in the South Pacific
the news is so stale that it makes
little impression on the public.
Acts Of heroism are so common
In the Pacific area that they have
become almost a daily routine
matter.
But despite the valor Of our
lighting forces the situation can
not yet be described as entirely
satisfactory. After the ham,
mering the Japanese received in
the third battle for Guadalcanal
the forces under Admiral Will
liam F.. Halsey, jr., did not have
sufficient reserves to enable them
to forge ahead and exploit their
spectacular victories by attacking
the japanese in the New Britain
area.
Remain on Defensive.
The naval and air units in that
area had to remain on the de-
fensive. They endeavored to keep
the japanese from feeding and
supplying their 10000 or Is 900
men on the island in the hope
that this force eventually would
be starved out and forced either
to surrender or fight a suicidal
battle.
For a while it appeared that
our patrols might be able to &C
complish the task. For many
weeks the japanese were COM
PEELED to live on a pittance and
refrained from any offensive &C
ton against our positions around
Henderson Airfield because they
lacked the necessary supplies. 1t
seems that in spite of the vigilance
of our task forces supplies have
been sent to the enemy garrisons
and while the amount has not
been large they have been suffi-
Gent to allow the Japs to sit tight
in their areas.
During the weeks of inevitable
lull after the battle in which Ad-
mirals Daniel Callaghan and
Norman Scott lost their lives by
performing one of the most dar-
ing deeds in naval history the
Japanese were able to concen-
trate and bring reinforcements to
Truk and Rabaui. According to
information obtained from pris-
oners, it appears that for while
the Japanese high command was
seriously worried lest we would
have enough power to continue

roots in Germany, and historical
roots as we'll. Hitler has a Sc
lector and canalizer Of certain
existing mental tendencies.
However, If we are seeking
understanding as a basis for in
telligent action, We must admit
that sources for a similar Selec-
ton and canalization could be
found in most national cultures.
For instance synthesis of OAR
win with the concept of the Sur
vival of the Fittest," Kipling and
The White Mans Burden"
George Moore with his Worship
of the Paganism of Decadent
Rome" and D. H. Lawrence's
apocalypse with its emphasis
on thinking with your blood could
be united into making a thor
oughly English Nazi philosophy.
Fascism did not even start in
Germany. 1t started in Hungary
and Italy. The race theory was
created by q Frenchman, Cobb
neau, and given its most COM
plete expression by Houston
Stewart Chamberlain, a Scots
man.
Contradiction on Terms.
And if we speak on re-educ-
eating Germany we must have
very clean in our minds what
mental tendencies we wish to
eradicate. Naziism Is, in essence,
the quintessence Of nationalism.
And just how American nation
alists or British nationalist are
going to eradicate German ma
tionalism by education is not
clear to me. We will certainly
fail to inculcate in Germans,
British or American national
ideas. That Is a contradiction
in terms.
But If we are to create an in
ternational view in Germany-a
concept that there are laws and
loyalties that, being common to
mankind, are above the Nation
then we must establish that view
as the dominant one in our own
countries as we'll as in those of
our late enemies. That presumes
an overhauing of education
everywhere. And, furthermore,
new school books will be useless
In Germany unless she is, at the
same time, cooperating interna-
tionally and equally.
The creation of an interna-
tional mind in Germany would
create as natural result a de-
mand for complete equality in the
world. And if this mind found
itself in contradiction to the
facts, 1t would revolt, and you
would have a bootlegging and
underground reading of national
list literature, including Mein
Kampf.
Machiavelli. who is a much
misunderstood and misinterpreted
philosopher, was a man of i'm

come general that the only way In
which we can live in peace at home
is to see that no nation is again
permitted to break the peace abroad.
There is so little argument about
that now that the subject is not an
issue. Practically everybody these
days argues on the same side.
Basic Essential.
This being so, it is strange that
so few touch on the basic essential
not only for sound peace, but for
an ordered world-to wit, complete
CO = operation, understanding and
friendship between the British and
ourselves. That is fundamental and
Indispensable. This does not mean
any lack of friendship and co-opera-
ton with Russia. China and our
other Allies, but it does mean that
British American cooperation is
the foundation upon which any
peace machinery must rest. That
comes first and the reasons are
clear.
1t is not only the common Ian
guage, the common laws and the
common religion that bind us more
closely to the British than to any
other ally-it is also that we have
common aims and basically iden-
ticaf system Of government, meth
DDS Of thought and customs. In
brief, there is slight difference be-
tween us. 1t must be obvious that
the sort of world on which Mr..
Wallace and Mr.. Hoover dwelt in
their recent speeches can come only
through the combined weight and
common purpose of the English
speaking peoples. There is no other
way.
Holds Hope for World.
Accepting that as basic, clearly
anything that makes for friction
between Great Britain and our
selves, such as unfounded criticisms
and unworthy suspicious, is stupid
to the point Of wickedness. The
whole hope Of stable world and a
permanent peace is based on unity
OF the English-speaking nations
after the war. 1t is the one insur-
ance against postwar chaos.
Neither nation is strong enough to
avert this by itself. 1t will REQUIRE
the best brains and all the strength
OF both to create effective peace
machinery and restore economic
health. 1t, Of course, is too early to
talk in anything but general terms
OF the situation which must be met
when the war is over.
But 1t is not too early to talk
concretely about the necessity for
complete British American friend

into the future and make the Eng

That, OF course, is no new thought.
but 1t cannot be too often repeated
nor too strongly emphasized. The
more people who fully grasp that
idea and the sooner they grasp it
the better for us all.

This Changing World
Americans Warned Against Overeonfidenee
As Jops Rush Ships, Planes to South Pacific

our offensive against Rabaul,
where there are some three d.
visions of enemy forces protected
only by shore defenses.
The Japanese fleet was not
able soon after the battle Of No.
vember 1915 effectively to pre-
vent a strong American force
from attacking Rabaul.
Minor Operations.
Unfortunately Admiral Hal
sey's task forces also had suf-
fered and in spite of his agrees
siveness the admiral did not have
sufficient forces to exploit an
ideal situation for an about
offensive. With the exception of
a few minor operations-mostly
encounters between patrol de-
tachments and light Jap forces
trying to bring relief to enemy
forces in the Solomons and New
Guinea-both fleets maintained a
defensive attitude.
In the meantime, however, the
Japanese have been rushing re-
Inducements from their home
bases. The Japs' airplane pro-
duction Is said to have been
stepped up to about 1000 planes
a month. The number, in the
light of our own production. ap-
pears insignificant, but we must
bear in mind that every airplane
which leaves the assembly line Of
the Jap factories is made for the
exclusive use Of the Japanese
while our huge production must
be divided among the Allies.
If reports received here are
correct the Japanese are rushing
a substantial number Of planes
to the South Pacific to overcome
the 3-to-1 superiority which we
have held for the last few
months.
Japs Won't Give Up.
Some of Americas carriers
which had been damaged in the
Midway and other battles are
ready for action again and likely
are on the way to the Solomon
area. 1t is also considered pos
sible that a portion of the enemy
feet which has been kept for
other possible enterprises in the
home waters or in the Indian
Ocean-particularly the modern
battleships and heavy cruisers
should be on the way to the same
area.
Those who know the Japanese
mentality are convinced that, in
spite of their serious setbacks,
the Japs have not given up and
will concentrate a sufficiently
large force to try a new offensive.
Their success or failure depends
entirely on what additional re-
Inducements have been sent to
Admiral Halsey to meet a new
Japanese onslaught.
The Americana Australian forces
under Gen. Douglas Macarthur
also have been successful in the
last few weeks, thanks to the
victories Of Admiral Halsey's task
forces. But here, too, the often
sive has been purely local and,
according to statements OF Aus
tralian leaders such as Prime
Minister John Curtin, those
forces also could use more sup
port than they are receiving.
The situation in both Pacific
areas is such that an unfortunate
battle might once more seriously
threaten the position OF the
Allies.

Soldiers Receive 20, 000, 600
Pieces of Mail Each Week

Mail from home, builder of morale
in battle areas, goes to United States
soldiers at overseas installations from
the Arctic to the Antarctic at the rate
of over 20 million pieces a week, and
approximately one third as much
comes back from American fighting
men in all quarters of the globe to
their home folks.
Consisting mostly of letters, the VOL
ume of overseas mail to American
soldiers is now four times as great as
that which went to the American ex-
peditionary force at the peak of the
World war. 1t represents an average
of IA pieces per soldier each week as
against an average of three during
the last war.
Homebound mail in the World war
was approximately one-quarter as
much as the outgoing mail, as COM
pared with the present ratio of one
third.
No soldier in the army of the United
States is beyond reach of the army
postal service. Having recognized at
the outset the importance of good mail
service as a vital factor in the morale
of the soldier and his family, the war
department has utilized every facility
at its command to provide the means
of speedy communication between
them. Mails go by every available
airplane and ship.

Keep Reindeer in Herds

Alaska reindeer herds average about
1000 head. Like cattle on western
ranges, reindeer are herded to guard
against wolves, thieves, and starvation.
Herding is done mainly by Eskimos
and Laps, on foot, and aided by dogs.
To conserve vegetation, feeding
grounds are changed with the sea-
sons. In summer, the animals forage
on mountain slopes, and on the hum
mocky, pond-dotted tundra along the
coast. Groundsel, mushrooms, berries,
and MOSES are their main food. In
winter they range the sheltered val
leys. Their acute sense of smell locates
food. With hoofs and antlers they paw
and poke for plants buried under three
to four feet of snow.
