Allies will defeat the Japanese.
They point out that while our
forces under Admiral William F.
Halsey, jr., and Gen. Douglas
Macarthur have done excellently
under difficult circumstances, we
have managed to push the Japs
completely out of only one island,
Guadalcanal, and parts Of New
Guinea.
The fighting men Just back
from the South Pacific believe
that more progress could be
made II the two commanders had
at their disposal all they need,
particularly aviation.
Plane Losses Substantial.
Our local air superiority per-
mitted the holding and eventu-
ally the clearing of Guadalcanal
of the enemy. But we have suf-
fered substantial losses, not 50
much in actual air combat, but
IN return landings from patrol
duty and In training.
These observers, who have first
hand information while not
claiming to tell our strategy
trainers what they should do,
declare that any idea that the
Japs will be easier to defeat than
the Nazis must be discarded.
The Tunisian campaign is
being held as an example Of the
difficulties the Allies will meet
in the Pacific.
In Tunisia we have good supply
and air bases close to the present
fighting front. The ground forces
can move as they would on ma
neuver. Once we obtained q foot
hold on the North African MAIN
land we did not need to engage
In amphibious operations.
Expect Heavy Losses.
Military leaders in the United
States and Great Britain agree
that amphibious operations will
be costly and difficult. This is
their main concern when they
talk with certain restraint about
the invasion of Europe which has
been hastily fortified by Hitler.
In spite Of our favorable stra-
tegic position, many weeks will be
required before we can conquer
the Nazi forces which are far
from their bases OF supply.
The men from the South Pa
cific area point out that while
these difficulties regarding the
campaign across the Atlantic are
fully realized by our leaders and

Second Delay Of French Leaders Visit

to stifle all attempts at a secession,
were alone able to raise their voices.
But 1t proves false insofar as the
other social strata are coming into
their own and they slowly come into
their own as the police rule is being
relaxed under steady Anglo-Ameri-
can pressure.
Indeed, large majority of the
100000 French citizens, petty Of
flcials, clerks, salaried workers and
even some military elements, are at
heart with the program and aspira-
tions of Fighting France. And the
Jews are not the least active in the
lot. They all insist that the Vichy
counter-revolution must be merci-
lessly suppressed, root and branch.
Among these citizens is substantial
number of italian or Spanish par
entage. It means that they are
deadly hostile to everything which
Mussolini and Franco stand for.
military Necessity" May Change.
In the note forwarded to the Brit
ish foreign office, Gen. Eisenhower
informed Gen. De Gaulle that he
had better postpone his arrival In
Algiers until his negotiation with
Gen. Giraud should have entered
the final stage and come quite near
to an agreement.
Gen. De Gaulle is likely to have
read in that phrase of the COM
mander in chief an unintended
warning. Were he to strike a COM
promise, then his going to Africa
would not be objected to. But his
prestige over the masses might have
lessened or vanished altogether.
Diplomats who lately visited him
are convinced that he will keep
clear from all bargains which, for
him, might involve political self
destruction. He wants to go to Al
giers but as a free representative
OF a free cause. There would not
be any purpose in his accepting to
go there with his hands tied.
When the last German and Ital-
Ian have withdrawn from Tunisia
or have been made war prisoners,
the definition Of military necessity"
Is bound to undergo some change.
Then, the popular movement will
have chance to flow over the dam.

the leader of Fighting France could
not fail to unleash popular demon
strations all through the three de-
partments OF Algeria and nobody
would dare foretell their repercus-
sions on the local regime Of Gen.
Henri Giraud.
Obviously, in the background of
battle which speedily draws toward
its climax, there is no place for that
sort of political complication. But
once the claims OF military neces-
sity' have been given due recogni-
ton, 1t is permissible to observe that
the step taken by the American
commander in chief bears witness
to the powerful development Of the
De Gaullist cause in Algeria.
Political Atmosphere Different.
For instance, until the beginning
Of this year, Combat" the leaflet
printed by the underground move
ment OF that name, did not have
more than 1000 readers. Now, It's
circulation has bounded to approxi-
mately 10000 copies. The Gross of
Lorraine is to be seen everywhere.
OF recent months it has been said
and repeated that the political at
mosphere in Algeria differed entire
ly from what 1t was in metropolitan
France. The remark was true to the
extent that under the laws and the

Teaching Methods, Not Lack Of Courses,
Caused Situation Bured by New York Times

OF President Buffers University.
And teachers college is as much
to blame as any single institution
in this country for this state Of
affairs.
For our education for which
tachers' college is most largely
responsible has become an as
sembly line system, which turns
out. not teachers. but technicians.
Pedagogy-the art and science
of teaching-has taken the place
of learning. Our teachers are
taught how to teach but they
don't know the content of what
they teach and are not even in
terested in it. They depend not
upon their own knowledge. based
upon the hard work of study, and
of thought. but upon textbooks,
and asylum. They themselves
work with "trots."
A textbook gives short outline
of a period or an event. Then
the same textbook gives an
analysis by asking questions Of
the students. The teacher has
the answers all prepared for her.
and checks the answers Of the
students with the answers In her
trot. The grade is then given &C
cording to points, and the whole
procedure is like a quiz-kid pro-
gram.
Information Is Unrelated.
Now no one can get an educa-
ton this way. Information is re-
lated to nothing. The result is
that children are 50 bored that
information goes through their
heads as through a sieve.
They retain it long enough to
pass the tests, and that is all.
It does not take root In their
minds; 1t is not related to any
picture, any wholeness; 1t is not
made coherent by thought.
The process Of learning Is a
highly exciting affair. Those who
once begin to indulge in 1t never
abandon it. But 1t is q process
of establishing relations, inside
frames Of reference, of remem-
bering something because it H.
Eliminates something else.
The textbook system is one of
the most profitable rackets in
American life. The only way
college professor can hope to
come into a comfortable fortune
is to get the adoption" by the
school system of one OF his
texts" Publishers are vitality
interested in such monopolies,
and employ high-pressure sales
men to put them over and keep
them in. A textbook Is the only
book that tens Of thousands can
be compelled to buy and to read.
They are never reviewed by
critics. It Is too bad.
For If anything could make
history-actually the most fas-
cinating Of all stories-inutter-
ably boring, 1t Is the textbook.
Any student who would sit down
and spend few days of pleasant
reading of, let us say, James
Truslow Adams Epic of Amer
lea" or Charles and Mary Boards
Rise Of American Civilization,
would learn more, and remember
it better than the sum- total of
all his grade and high school
textbook education. Because he
would get a coherent, Ineligible
picture Of American history. He
would, that Is to say, If he has
ever learned the meaning OF
words.

This Changing World
Men Back From Front Soy European War
Is Picnic Compared With Fight Against Jups

are being apprised Of them, there
Is a tendency to underestimate
the Japs' strength and defensive
possibilities.
The Japanese islands and their
newly conquered territories in the
Pacific are still practically i'm
mune from air bombardment.
While the Allied air forces are
"softening up" the Reich and
causing damage to German in
dustriai plants the Japanese are
developing as fast as possible new
industrial establishments In Java,
Sumatra and Indo-China.
Japs Believed Working Hard.
These regions are rich in raw
materials. Factories and navy
yards are being established
throughout these once European
controlled states.
Because the British and the
American governments have
served notice on Toxic that as
soon as we have finished off
Hitler the two Allies will turn
their attention to Japan, 1t would
be foolish to imagine that the
Japs are ignoring these warnings.
In the attack against the Euro
pean mainland we would have to
breach one portion Of the wall
Hitler has been building around
Europe. This will be the only large
amphibious operation.
Island to Island Fight Seen.
In an offensive campaign
against Japan we shall be COM
PEELED to reduce by amphibious
operations every one OF the
islands now in enemy hands. And
1t is safe to say that these islands
will be at least as well prepared
to meet an Allied invasion as are
the Nazis strongholds In Europe.
Moreover, the conquest Of one
point will not necessarily lead to
the collapse Of the entire line Of
defense. We shall have to fight
for each of these fortresses In the
sea individually.
The quality Of the Japanese
equipment sometimes can be
questioned. This is a controver-
sial matter, however, over which
the men who are actually fight
ing the Japs have one point Of
view and those who write have
another. But nobody questions
the fanatic fighting ability Of the
Japanese soldier. The Nazi is a
good fighter who, however, knows
when he is licked.
Jap Is Animal-like Fighter.
The Jap is good fighter but
also the dirtiest our forces have
ever encountered. He is like a
wild animal and has to be killed
because when only wounded and
lying on his back he will throw
a hand grenade or fire pistol at
his opponents.
Even when he is overwhelmed
he continues to fight. It is not
likely that the Japs will give up
even after they have suffered
series OF defeats. In amphibious
operations this type Of a fighter
will give us much more trouble
than the Nazis or the Italians.
The campaign In Europe, &C
according to the men who have
returned from the Pacific, is a
picnic compared with the war
against Japan.

News of the resignation of Prem

Bowles, his successor, will be in

the plan Of the planners to re-
duce the oil industry to a point
where the government will be able
to assure the public that it must
step i'm to save the nation from

over and socialize the oil industry.
Congress has been awaiting reply
from OES Director Vinson, who has
pleaded for more time. Congress

ing into the oil business through
Petroleum Reserve Corp, the chief
aim of which is to acquire such
foreign oil properties as those in
Iran and Iraq to prevent expropria-
ton or possible seizure by Russia.
This corporation may also end up

ties and the U. S. government will
be well on its way toward world
domination in oil.

A slight odor that threatens TO
become a stencil is beginning to
come out of the government aoil
operations in northern Canada,
according to Washington accounts.
Congressional investigators refer to
expenditure of 100000, 900 in de-
velopment of questionable amounts
of production in the far north, with
the suggestion that such a sum ex-
pended in the United States would
have provided adequate supplies of
oil for the Alaskan highway and
Alaskan war requirements.
The Oil Weekly refers to "a ru-
NOR, no doubt baseless, says a
prominent lady promoter may have
had something to do with the gov
ernment's rather expensive pro-
gram up there"
Rep. Gavin in congress raped
the government for its secrecy
while Canadians have widely pub
licized the "Canol" project. Gavin
said the project is costing the
American government S138, 0O0, 900
and the total might reach $500, 0O0,-
900 and objected to the printed
statement that "after the war the
pipeline and the wells will be
turned over jointly to Imperial Oil,
Ltd, and Standard Oil Co., of Cali
fornia." He said the production of
northern Canada is a drop in the
bucket" and quoted Secretary Ickes
and others as saying the project
is impractical"
Government reports infer but do
not state that the pipeline to White
horse is completed. Montanans who
have visited Fort Norman report
the pipeline far from completion,
although vast amounts. of pipe have
been shipped in over the difficult
terrain. Whether paraffin oil can
be pumped over three mountain
ranges with the temperature at so
to 10 below zero is an interesting
problem pointed out by congress
sional investigators. Since the
ground is frozen "a hundred feet
deep, it is impossible to bury the
line below freezing.
1t develops that Secretary Slim
son once ordered construction
stopped. However, some other bu-
reau has continued the work. The
Truman committee sent three sen
ators TO Alaska and they returned
questioning the possibility of NOV
ing oil at Arctic winter tempera
lures and finally said that they are
not sure that there is too much
oil in north Canada to pump any
way.
