WAR EFFORT MEANS CASUALTIES

There will be increasing war activity
in the remaining months of 1913. Prime
Minister Churchill says that plans matured
at Casablanca will be carried out during
the next nine months and President ROoSe-
welt promises actual invasion of the Contin-
ent of Europe.
Let no American imagine that these
great blows will be made without loss OF
American lives. The overthrow of the Axis
nations can be accomplished only by the de-
struction of their military power and this
means the killing of their soldiers. 1t is not
goirg to be an easy parade.
The President admits that ''the amaz-
ing Russian armies in the East have been
delivering overpowering blows and adds,
I'VE must do likewise in the East
In the Far East the United Nations
have no idea of "inching our way forward
from island to island across the vast ex-
panse of the Pacific asserts the President,
who adds. There are many roads which
lead right to Tokyo. We shall neglect none
of them
This may be interpreted in the light of
tions against the Japanese will be taken
to drive the invader from the soil of China"
Moreover, important action will be taken
in the skies over China - and over Japan
ITSELF.
Like Mr.. Churchill the President ex-
uded confidence as to the final results He
looked ahead to complete victory - ito the
day when United Nations forces march in
triumph through the streets of Berlin, Rome
and Tokyo
Admitting that the enemy has strong
forces in strong positions in Tunisia and that
the impending battle will cost us heavily in
casualties, Mr.. Roosevelt pointed out that
Hitler is willing to pay the cost of an engage
ment in Tunisia because he knows that it
will be followed by actual invasions, design
ed to make the pressure on Germany and
Italy constant and unrelenting."

AIR-WAVE STRATEGIST

All of us make mistakes in talking,
whether vis-a-vis or over the faolo' anu
sometimes our tongues slip little more
than usual
Drew Pearson. in his broadcast Sur
av nioht. slipped worse than any other
commentator we have ever hearo. he SPOKE
about the Germans treat IN Russia
caught himself and said retreat" but ne
overlooked his slip when he said line 4oo
people in China. ..' And ne just couioh
pronounce ''reverberatlon.
They were only few of his mauflngS
and noaimines of the English language. He
became so bad we heard radio listener re-
mark, Hes trying to initiate MIS- NAL
aprop.'
All of which proves that man may be
a good writer, or fairly good writer ana
moor talker. Pearson's trouble is his eager
moss to impress his listeners That is parti-
cularlv so in his so-called predictions.
One of his predictions Sunday nlght
was that Marshal Rommel, in thrustlng so
deeply into the American lines IN Central
Tunisia. exposes his right flank to the Brit
ish First Army in the north and his lett Hank
TO the British in the south while the Allies
made a frontal attack from the west. Ana
Pearson ''predicted' that the Allies Will
'.Outflank" ROmmel
The Citizen pointed out that very thlhg
in an editorial last Friday, but made no
"prediction," because, as has been remark
ed before, one persons prediction is as good
as anothers.
incidentally, air waves bring us aSSlhlh-
itv in ever-increasing volume from COM
mentators who talk as freely about war
strategy as though they were military eX-
perts. 1t must amuse men learned IN MILL
tary science to hear the endless verblage'
air-waved in authoritative tones, about
strategy and tactics and the dire ifs that
will result if this or that thing is not done
Things have reached that pass, IN ra-
die comment about the war, to justify us to
discard that old standby, ''rocking-chalr
strategist" and substitute "airwave STRAIT
egist.'

NO STEPPING-STONE CAMPAIGN

Secretary of the Navy Knox is author
ity for the statement that the Navy does not
contemplate an island BY island campaign
toWard Tokyo.
He speaks because many so-calle1 COM
mentators and experts have consistently re-
ferred to such strategy. There never has
been any basis for belief that the Navy
enyisioned such campaign.
The fact that Japan has been held in

MIGHT HAVE KIDNAPPED STAIN

We continue to read in the public
prints The lamentations Of those who de-
plore he absence of Joseph Stain from the
conferences in CaSablanca.
The fact is that the President of the
United s ates offered to fly as far east as
Khartcum, in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan to
meet the Russian dictator.
After all, Stain was irvited. Every eff
tort was MADE to arrange the place of con-
ference to suit he demands upon his time.
There was nothing else that could have
been done, unless some commandos could
have been smugged into Moscow to kidnap
the Red dictator.
However, there is little sense in MAX
ing something out of nothing. The presence
OF Mr. Stain was unnecessary. The parley
related to the use of American AMI British
strength against Germany in Europe; it did
not include any request of the Russians be-
cause both Roosevelt and Churchill know
