Admiral william V. Pratt, one OF
Americas outstanding authorities on
Naval Operations, explains Japan
csc naval fighting methods in ag-
gressive spirit of the u. S. Navy.
"Japan's Concept Of Sea Pofer" as
written by Admiral Pratt follows:
Japan, an island kingdom, geo.
graphically bears much the same
relation to the mainland as Asia that
Britain does to the Continent OF
Europe. And because sea power
has been in the past the force which
maintained Britain'S world position
it would be natural to expect Japan
to follow Britain's example in naval
strategy. In the fields Of technical
endeavor and tactical operations the
lines have run parallel, but in naval
strategy the procedure has been
different. For Japan has its own
peculiar strategy and its nature eX-
plains many of the otherwise puz
zling features of the way the JapS
wage war.
Difference in Plans
JapanS naval men in the clash
of battle follow Nelson partially, but
not to the limit of total humiliation
of the enemy fleet, unless it fits in
with a more general plan. This
plan is usually based on the con-
cept that the first mission of Japan'S
fleet is not the destruction of the
enemy fleet, but the support OF the
military forces in the conduct OF
amphibious operations. Therefore
Japan's naval strategy has been not
to seek out the enemy fleet for COM
bat, or to lay blockade to his shores,
but to fulfill the mission outlined
above. And this line Of strategy mas
run true to form since the early days
of the wars with Korea, through the
China adventures, the Russo-Japan-
csc war, and into the present world
struggle.
Time and again has this strategy,
coupled with infieX:hle adherence
TO a predetermined plan, marked
Japan's amphibious operations. Cau-
ton has been feature of each plan
but once determined the plan be-
comes veritable edict of the gods
Let it be upset, however, and the
Japanese are slow to adjust them
selves to new conditions.
While this sort of naval strategy
may seem good to the Japs, 1t is
questionable II 1t Is as sound as the
simpler sea policy which actuatet
Britain and ourselves. First. 1t di'

Family Food Costs Rise
81 a Month Over 1912

WASHINGTON. - An average
American housewife with four
mouths to feed had to spend $36 to
set her table last month, 81 more
than in 1912, department of agricul-
ture statistics disclosed.
The farmer is getting some Of the
difference, the department said, but
not enough to compensate him for
his own increased costs.
The figures showed that the farm
er gets about $40 of the $50, which
is about So more than last year-or
81 cents out of the food dollar. But
the farmer is paying higher taxes,
higher labor and machinery costs
now, and he pockets less of the 81
cents than he did of the 4S cents he
got in 1912.
Nor is it the grocer who is making
a big profit. For the harassed gro
Ger is operating under price ceilings
controlling margins of profit on most
items. Food professors, carriers,
wholesalers and retailers are operat-
ing at lower margin of profit than
ever before, according to the agri-
cultural department figures.

THE CUTSPOKEN
SAILOR JONES

Jacksonville Register-Pa iaronian)
We confess to feeling a great deal of
sympathy with the viewpoint of young
Evan Owen Jones Jr., of Los Angeles,
naval signalman who has seen two years
of active service with the navy.
Moving up to the gallery rail during
the house of representatives debate on
the poll tax bill, Jones shouted to the
congressman. You don't have to pay to
fight. so why should you have TO
pay 10 vote?' 1t was a good question,
tough question for the seven southern
states where the poll tax is perpetuated
to try to answer.
Admittedly, Seaman JOneS'S Interrupt
tion of proceedings was rude, out of or
der for the reason that he is not men,
Der of the august body. However, his
idea was right, and it may have had some
desirable effects.
When removed from the chamber, Sea-
man Jones told attaches that he had
come to see what makes this country
click" He was probably disappointed in
that. And I'm disgusted," he added.
"These people in there are fighting the
Civil war all over again They should
spend their time fighting this war
Seaman Jones asserted he and the 9TH
ers in the armed forces are fighting to
keep this the best government in the
world and believe congress should do its
part.
Well whether Seaman Jones's words
had anything to do with the outcome or
not. the fact is the house voted 265 to 40
for abolshing the poll taxes in the south
ern states It is to be hoped now that
his words will echo on into the halls of
the senate where the bill, previously
killed there by unfair fiibustering meth
Ods. will again be voted upon.

POSTWAR PLANNING
ON THE GRAND SCALE

There is increasing local thought on
postwar planning, and in connection
with the subject, many instances have
been cited showing that other communi-
ties are already well-engaged in just such
far-sighted concern for the future. But
the biggest and most elaborate yet to
come to our attention is the postwar
planning of the state Of Georgia.
Recently in a convention Of southern
states governors, Gov. Ellis Arnall of
Georgia set forth his postwar plan. 1t IS
ponderous and comprehensive, to say the
least.
This chief executive of a state of the
union is already starting his battle for
his program. His plans stipulate, first,
materially reduced train fares; second.
armloads Of government funds Cin the
form of gifts) to be used in building and
developing harbors so that Georgia can
become a great shipping point. He also
insists upon elaborate matching OF fed
eral fund dollars in countless other ways,
anticipating huge pork barrels to soften
the shock Of postwar reversion to
peace-time conditions.
That is real postwar planning!

s. burtor, Heath
Writes:

John Smith pay for part of the
Brown family's food.
In any event, Congress had been
asked to provide funds to finance
subsidies, and had refused. Where
upon, on the plea of emergency,
using funds appropriated for other
purposes, the administration began
doing what Congress had refused
permission for it to do.
once more this raises the ques-
ton whether it is possible for the
republican mechanism Of demo-
cratic government to function IN
time Of emergency or whether it
is necessary for US to eliminate the
making branch sidetrack the
judiciary by working so fast that it
cannot intervene effectively, and
entrust our government entirely to
the White House.
Perhaps this is what should be
done There. are times such, for
example, as while the House was
fiddling futilely with a new tax
bill-when the public gets aWfully
fec up with procrastination, politics,
delay.
But if such departure from our
system of government is to be made,
il should not be done by attrition
and subterfuge. We should make
the change voluntarily, democratic
ally, with our eyes open TO all the
consequences.

tlss Brown achieved masterpiece
when he provided for food sub
sides 10 the professors to help
lower price ceilings without de-
creasing the return to anybody.
War Information Director Elmer
Davis on the radio tried hard to eX-
plain why it is better for the con-
suming public to pay for part of
its food through taxes rather than
in store prices.
But members of Congress, includ-
ing many Democrats, got up on
their hind legs and protested bitter
" about the new attempt to but
tress an anti-inflation program
that, b. concession Of high official
dom, had broken down so far as
food prices were concerned.
The congressman, in many in
stances, are dubious of the value of
subsidy system or g 50 far as TO
consider it specifically vicious But
their bitterness does not spring from
that difference of opinion. 1t arises
from the fact that once more the
executive branch has "legislated" a
reform" which Congress, after

PERSONAL DIRECTIONS

It was assumed here that Churchill
personally delivered the instructions
worked out in Washington to Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower, supreme
Allied commander in the Mediter-
ranean, and his American, British
and French subordirateS.
Naturally the greatest secrecy
cloaks the hour and place for at
tack, but it is believed that the
Allied forces now stand ready for
tie zero hour.
Military experts saw no reason TO
change their speculation that the
Allies first will attack The Mediter-
ranean stepping stone islands, such
as Pantelleria, Sicily Sardinia
Crete or the DOdecaneSe.
The theory that final plans for
the Allied blow at the soft under
belly of Europe were delivered to
Eisenhower was strengthened b.
the announcement that Churchill
was accompanied by Gen. Sir Alan
Brooke, chief of the British I'M
perial general staff.

Churchill Returns
From Flying Visit
To North Africa

LONDON. June CUP) - Prime
Minister Churchill returned to
London today after paying flying
visit to North Africa, presumably
to give final orders to Allied armies
for an invasion OF Europe that now
can be expected momentarily.
Churchill flew to Algiers from
Gibraltar on his way back from
Washington, where he and Presi-
dent Roosevelt, along with their
top military, air and naval advisers,
concluded series Of conferences on
g!obal war strategy more than a
week ago.
