Odds Against japan

Admiral Chester w. Nimitz, COM
nander in chief of the Pacific Fleet,
is in a position to appraise accu-
rately the factors which are shaping
the course of our war against Japan.
And since he also has a very large
responsibility for the successful con-
duct of that fight, it is we'll to take
note of the optimistic tone of his
recent comments on the conduct of
the war in the Pacific.
Admiral Nimitz said two things
which are sharply at variance with
point of view that is widely held in
washington. First, he said, 1--WE are
really getting our share of war ma
teral in the Pacific" This is in
marked contrast to the reports here
that heavy shipments of supplies to
Africa, Russia and the British Isles
have kept our Pacific forces on short
rations so far as equipment is con-
cerned. Presumably, Admiral Nimitz
speaks only for the Navy and his
particular theater. But since the
main responsibility for the defeat
of Japan rests upon his shoulders, it
Is highly improbable that he would
express satisfaction with the quantity
of war material that he is getting if
he were being denied the weapons
that he needs for the job.
Secondly, the admiral expressed
the belief that we, and not the Jap
anese, are the benefciaries of the
time element in the Pacific war.
"Time is working for us now" he
declared. I'VE are turning out planes
and ships of war faster than the
Japanese can. 1t Is simple arith-
metic-subtraction for them and
addition for u.s."
This is a point of view which con-
fiicts with the belief that the time
factor favors Japan-that the enemy
In the Pacific will grow relatively
stronger with every month that
passes without a major assault on
his defenses. This belief is based on
the assumption that the Japanese,
having acquired wealth of raw ma
terials, are busily engaged in fortify-
Ing and consolidating their positions
and that, given time, they will make
themselves virtually unassailable.

received a build up" wholly out Of
line with its Importance, and it is
only natural, therefore, that its
limited accomplishments should
somehow seem disappointing.
About the only tangible result of
the meeting is the demonstration
that representatives of the United
Nations can assemble in the midst
Of war to lay plans, however general
in nature, for the future. Whether
this planning, when put to the test
after the war, will prove to be Of
any substantial benefit remains to
be seen.
The conferees, or most of them,
seem to be committed to the notion
that postwar production and dis
tribution of food is problem for
governments rather than individuals.
And it may be that this view, with
reservations, is sound. There would
be greater willingness to accept
the thesis, however, were it not for
the fact that the individual govern
ments have not done too creditable
job of directing the production and
distribution Of food within the bor-
derS of their own countries. Ex-
perience has demonstrated that gov
ernmental supervision of food supply
is too often Influenced by political
considerations which leave the peo-
pie hungry. And it has not been
shown that these considerations
would be any less influential in an
international, as against a national,
food authority.

Davies Propaganda Film
Criticized for NaZi TechniuleS

To the Editor OF The Star:
AS just an average American citizen,
who maintains a normal interest in the
affairs of my country, I protest the
presentation of the poorly handled mo-
ton picture, Mission to Moscow be-
cause I do not believe our President,
Congress, our diplomats, the people nor
the producers of the picture are inept,
not very clever persons-Which is what
the average person must infer from see
ing this film and realizing that it is
presented in all earnestness and sim
cerity.
Public reaction to this film will be
interesting to note, for better than any
other medium of which I am aware it
will reveal the mental caliber of the
audiences who view it.
If my reaction to it is not average and
the picture "goes over big" with the
theater- going public of America, in con-
scientious feeling for this country I
shall be disappointed If it is withdrawn
as failure perhaps to be "done over"
and submitted again in justice to its
laudable theme. shall be glad. Gen.
eral disapproval of the way the subject
was treated would indicate to me that
the great American public is basically at
least a reasoning body and not handi-
capped by gullible, peon-like intellects.
What the picture is trying to put over
is not objectionable-bu its undeniably
propaganda techniques are.
To controvert the notion that all Rus
slams are uncouth, uhcultured people
(who but a small group of dullards
ever believed that, in the first placeO, /,
isn't it bit thick that the writer's of
the script think it necessary to show the
Russians as exquisitely hammered Little
Lord Fauntleroys of impeccable good
taste, breeding and delicacy?
AS the picture progresses, and we see
what the Davies saw when they were in
Russia, was reminded Of Lost Hori-
zon," when Ronald Colmarf was being
inducted, to his reluctant amazement,
into the beauty, charm and simplicity of
life at Shangri-la. Instead Of the sanity

New Order-FoiIure
From the London Daily Mail.

from the LONDON Daily Mail.
The New Order has not been a Ger
man war aim since the beginning OF the
war. 1t was invented at about the time
OF the fall of France, and its object was
to undermine resistance in the occupied
countries, and to reconcile the conquered
peoples to their lot. Britain, which in
sisted upon prolonging resistance, was
pictured as the enemy of the era of Eu-
ropean peace and prosperity. 1t was
a clever and subtle form of propaganda
which could have been very dangerous
to this country If Germany had backed
her words by deeds. But the German is
politically stupid. AS always, he showed
himself constitutionally incapable of
governing, because he could not under
stand compromise.

Man From the Piney RIDGES

MY man comes from the piney rtuges,
And he's tough as hickory bark,
In his feet Is the padded silence
OF things that pro,pl at dark.
My man comes from the high hill
country,
A man to measure the SUBMITS bp.
Lone as a ha,Dk, fierce as an eagle,
And brother to 1Dind and sky,
Brother to 1oind and running water.
And clouds that drift atar,
My man comes from the piney ridges
And he's kin to- the evening star.

The Food Conference

From the standpoint of tangible
achievement, it is difficult to avoid
the conclusion that the United Ma
tions Food Conference, which re-
Gently wound up its sessions at Hot
Springs, was the victim of an over
dose of publicity.
Had it not been for the Presidents
unfortunate attempt to ban legiti-
mate reporting of this meeting, the
chances are that the conferees would
have gone quietly about their busi-
ness and achieved results in line with
reasonable expectations. But, as
things turned out, the conference
Evening star., 1943-06-07

Perhaps Admiral Nimitz did not in
tend directly to controvert this thesis,
but the meaning of his words seems
plain. And, 1t might be added, his
comment is most encouraging, COM
ing as it does at time when we
still cannot throw our full strength
against Japan.

Deacon Richard Harris, one of
Jackson's outstanding colored lead
ers in local civic work was honored
again October 18th when the Capt.
toll National Bank saluted him as a
Hero of the Home Front in broad
cast over Radio Station WJDX.
Deacon Harris has been often
honored for his participation in the
War Finance program since he be-
came active in this work more than
a year ago. He has won many. OF
the War Bonds offered by the firm
where he is employed to leading
Stamp and Bond statesmen within
the organization. He is a valued
employee of the r. E. Remington
Co.. where he has served since 1922,
and his service there has gone be-
yond routine duties, extending into
worthy community projects which
the store has promoted.
The salute to him broadcast by
the Capitol National Bank was as
follows:
"This evening we bring you the
story of a fifty-five year old col
ored porter.
There are perhaps some few
people who would question his
right to title of hero. But, If our
soldiers and sailors and Marines
if all the boys over there depend
ent on US for the supplies and wea-
oons they need to win this war
could have anything to say about
it, I think they'd heartily second
our nomination.
Single handedly this porter sells
between ONE and TWO THOUS-
AND DOLLARS WORTH of War
Stamps and Bonds EACH MONTH!
"Most of this selling is done IN
the mornings before he reports Tor
work and in the evening after ne
gets off. Of course, he does sell
some stamps and bonds during MS
working hours-but only small
percentage of his total.
HE came to work in one OF jack
sons department STORES pdCh III
1922 and has been there ever since,
except for brief journey In 1874.
His two big interests in life are
his church work and the sale OF
Stamps and Bonds. He's a Deacon
in the Clark Street Church, here IN
Jackson.
His experience as Deacon, &C
cording to his story, has given him
good training in selling things. You
see, he explains, I'm used to asking
people to support the church, and
this experience is valuable in ask
ing them to support the govern
ment.'
