Communiques

We, too, are bored by most of the official communiques, which seem to be masterpieces of the art of verbal devitalization. No matter how exciting the action, it is likely to be flattened out by the communique writers into some such statement as "Yester- day medium and light bombers and fighter bombers of the Tactical air force, in day of intensive activity, maintained their heavy attacks on enemy troop concentrations, gun positions, tanks and transports. During the course of the day three enemy aircraft were shot down. From ali these operations, two of our own aircraft are missing, but one of the pilots is known to be safe" Up to now all we have done about this serious matter was to ignore the communiqueS and stick to reportorial news accounts. Now, how however, we are prepared to offer prac- tical suggestion: Let's have the flyers write cOmmuniqueS
 Perhaps you think they couldn't Per haps you suppose they would be either verbose or uncommunicative. To set your mind at rest, here is how con- nuniques would read if our suggestion were taken: Dropped bombs on TunlS. Attacked eight times by enemy flyers; shot down one Had gun mount Shot out 1y enemy; scared hell out of me" This 'eporter has downed five Axis planes and las won three medals. With one engine shot out after leaving target, II enemy lighters attacked our plane. Of course, l enemy planes are nothing for one B-17 Flying Fortress With all expert gunners on the crew, we drove them off and re- turned safely to our base, and considered it just another everyday occurrence" " This sergeant has no medals-yet.
 "This may sound like an account of a tennis match, but it's happened. On mission over Bizerte, we were attacked by Is enemy flyers and the battle lasted 27 minutes At one time four P-38 Light nings cornered a Messerschn1itt 1O9 over our formation. They dove at it and chased the enemy plane into our range. We fired at it and drove it back to the Lightnings They, in turn, chased it back at us. Curtain for the Messer- schmitt." The writer has two decora- tions. We could present more evidence along similar lines, but enough is as good as a feast All in favor of having the flyers write their own communiqueS will please not write to us. The ayes have it - unanimously.

The coward sinks to death, the
 brave live on"
 We must never think for mo- men that we can get the affairs of this world fixed up in such fashion that there will be no trouble or sor- row for anyone. Every attempt to ameliorate suffering and promote happiness is to be commended, but after we have done the best we can, there will still be plenty of unhap- piness in the world and in the lives of anyone of us, and this simply because life is made after such a pattern. The thing we have to learn to do is to get along as best we can with the world as it is.
 Abraham Lincoln declared that man is about as happy as he makes up his mind to be. A man is craven in spirit indeed if he takes all the rough handling life accords him in spirit completely passive Fully half the value of trouble arises from the efforts we make to avert or overcome it. But even ! after we have overcome it, there will be a great deal we have tc endure, and the true spirit of eact man is revealed in the way he endures it. The brave live on. Their quiet endurance is the badge of their courage.

Dictatorship By Default

There is a possibility that this nation may go totalitarian by default. And if that happens, we will see "the beginning of cycle of tyranny and impoverish- ment such as other nations have eXperi- enced when the individual was super seded by the State" That is the Warn- ing of Eric Johnson, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce.
 The danger of America going totall- tarian arises from the illusion that gov ernment is blessed with an inexhaustible supply of wisdom and cash which can be drawn on freely without any strings attached to freedom It is dangerous illusion, warped conception of democ- racy, the result of which has been staggering growth of bureaucracy, debt, and political domination Of prl- vate effort. It must be erased before the future can be approached with con- fidence.
 Our republic became great because It has always been land of individual en- terprise. Its people grew strong because they were free and self reliant. man who had a good idea and was willing to work to put it into effect, received en- couragement and reward, providing he could actually give people something they needed and wanted Thus industry was built Hard work by individuals keeps 1t going. Our bountiful natural resources

Too Bad for Finland

It is with sincere regret that most Americans have watched relations be- tween this country and Finland progress toward 9 diplomatic break which almost inevitably will eliminate in war. We admire the Films, and we have been very lenient because we recognize both the animus which led them to join in the war against Russia and the pressure from Germany which makes it difficult for them now to break away.
 But the issues involved are too grave to be decided on sentiment and sympathy. Germany is our enemy, and must be crushed Russia is our ally, and must be given every possible assistance. Now that Finland has accomplished her avowed and legitimate object, by recap turing the territory taken by Russia, she must make her choice whether to fight against us or to assert her rights against Germany, at whatever cost, If she decides wrong, the blame is on her own head.

Something New Added

The Germans are being reassured about the shipping situation with set of figures that may or may not be accur- ate, so far as it goes. They are told that the allies had 53,600,000 tons of shipping when the war started, out of which 3O, 400 : 900 tons has been sunk and 2,5OOO00 tons definitely disabled. This would leave 2O,90OO00 tons available to the United Nations.
 But how about the 8,OOO,O0O tons built in the United States last year? How about few millions built in England, Scotland, Canada, Australia?
 Conceding the basic Nazi estimates, Ii we do, their subs still have at least oO per cent more allied shipping to handle than Hitler's propagandists care to men tiOn

AN EDUCATOR IGNORED
(Hartford Courant)

At the risk of seeming to intrude on the preserves of our esteemed con temporary, the Bristol Press, we should like to join ir the tribute that Bristol tonight will pay to Henry E. Cottle, for thirty eight years principal of its high school At seventy he is about retire, and his former pupils are presenting him with his own portrait.
 MT. Cottle, not long out of Har- yard, plunked down in the midst of a fearing community with de- cided Yale, Trinity and Wesleyan trends and soon made his influence felt. He never proselytized for his Alma Mater, but he lived up to her motto of "Veritas." Like the good woman in the Scriptures, his chill dren shall arise up and call him blessed. Passed, fiunked or igno- miniously fired, they all respected that unbending heir to the tradition of James, Royce, Copeland, Kitt- redge and Santayana.
 To parody that still undergraduate periodical, Time, "No Apley he" Hank" Cottle is a real Tank. Per haps burly clustering, brass-minded Bristol made him so. At any rate, in the language next to Cambridge English most dear to him, we salute him as vir illustrissimus, magister amatiSsimus.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-05-21
Facts From England

A few facts from England eloquently tell the story of compulsory health ln- surance. Under the British system of health insurance a physician has panel of 1000 to 2,500 patients at $225 each per year. He may have to see 100 patients a day. Frequently as many as 60 persons must be seen in his office in two hours two minutes per patient, including paper work. There is no time for ade- quate treatment. If a panel physician keeps patients waiting too long, they report him to his superiorS. Unlike American physicians, the panel physician in England rarely has the time or the energy to study, engage in research, at- tend medical meetings or take refresher courses.
 It is easy to see why doctors oppose schemes to emasculate the American medical system. It has it's shortcomings, but fundamentally it is the most eftl- cient, far-reaching system yet devised. Infinitely more important, it is system which inspires initiative and progress, Within it's framework doctors are free ln- dividuals. Tomorrow, next week, next year, as the future rolls into the present, new techniques and new cures will come from the imaginative, probing minds ot American medical men. It would be calamitous to freeze medicine into com pulsory sOcialiStiC mold that would XII the souls of these men.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-05-21

We complain sufficiently about the weather when we have the time. few short weeks ago it was too cold ''for this time of the year" Within the past week it has been "too warm for May" Also we had "too many electrical storms TOT this time of year" Al lthis being so, we are mostly in. a pretty good spot; We had to see some of our New England trees rec destroyed by the severe ice storms of Jan uary and February. But we have not found that our own and nelgnpollll9 communities have suffered losses through floods where as many as 30,00O are de- clared homeless. This is the situation Tn the southwestern floods. The rivers in In diana, Arkansas and so on, have been on the rampage and the situation Tn those areas is acute We only know the WaoaSh as a river "far away, as it goes in the song. Those banks have been flooded pretty repeatedly for days, regardless ol leveeS.

the oil, coal and metals so vital to vic tory-would still be buried in the ground but for the individuals who were not afraid to take risks and back up those risks with a lot of sweat.
 The people of many nations are count ing on this country. The men and women of America are literally the last hope for a better civilization. It is inconceivable that, with the tradition of greatness which is theirs, they will seek to solve their problems by following the same tawdry path of government idolatry that has destroyed civilization in large part of the world

THE LATEST JAPANESE CRIME
(Hartford Ccurant)

We are in danger Of becoming more and more insensible every day. It takes a lot to shake us out of the apathy engendered by too-con- stant reaction to horror It took the sinking of the Lusitania in World War to awaken us to a realization Of our mortal danger. It took Pearl Harbor this time, but most of us feel that the war is still a long way off. In it's first seven teen months we nave "only" an average of 47O0 casualties 8. month to record. The total, Washington says, may De increased by 5000 when the lists from Tunisia are in. Yes, it takes lot to make us realize what this war means to us l in blood and toll, sweat and tears. '' f It's true, we are becoming less and less complacent. Indubitably, too, ! part of our protection from not keeping faith with those who died. ; arises from the ability to shed the awareness of horror and keep faith with the glory of life. The creed of our enemy (Nazi-Fascist, Japa- nazD is, by him succinctly stated: ITO live is to kill" That is the thesis of the War-makerS who live for war. Over against that, we cling fast to the imperishable truth: q am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly."
 Every once in while this enemy plays his trump card: the act of ter TOT, of criminal insanity, for which there is not the slightest justifica- tion even in war
 The latest crime of the Japanese is not even deserving of so pallid a designation. The ruthless sinking of the Australian hospital ship, Gen. taur, with the loss of 288 Austral- ian and English medical personnel and eleven women nurses, is de- liberate attack upon humanity at large, upon the very roots of life it. self.
 Traveling on an errand of mercy, without escort fully illuminated, with the Red Cross painted on her side visible far at sea, under per- feet weather conditions, the Centaur was torpedoed and sunk within three minutes By the grace of God sixty-four survive, among them one woman nurse. Those are the bare facts.
 It is difficult to speak of such ar act in measured terms. When thu Sons of Heaven" executed Ameri. can flyers who bombed military ob. jectives in their cities, they wer' roundly denounced by statesmen and the press of the United Ma tions. But that, although in direc violation of treaties and conven tions, might still be termed as "ac of war" at least of retaliation. Th sinking of the Centaur, on the othe hand. belongs to the realm of tn grotesquely horrible. like some o those scenes of disemboweling il which the literature of Japan revels
 Let us be under no illusions abou this enemy. To the Japanese, con alterations of humanity simply d
