what should be Self-evident truths when he stressed two other points First, that we must realize that the readjustment of veterans to civilian life is as much part of the overall cost of war as any phase of actual fighting, and second, that men and women now in service should be entitled on their return to pick up their competitive position in civil life as nearly as possible to that they would have held if they had not joined the colors.
 The words of the Legion's National Commander cannot be casually passed by. The American Legion now speaks from 25 years experience. It speaks for some 100000 members of it's posts and auxiliarieS Included in this number are 30O,000 veterans of World War II, and Legion policies and programs are certain to be accepted by many thousands more of the men and women now in uniform. The true Americanism exemplified ap- proval. He speaks for an organization dedicated to the principles upon which a sound and safe structure for postwar America can be built.

Freedom of the Press

There is the promise of campaign until freedom of information becomes a living reality everywhere in the world" = made on behalf of the American So- ciety of Newspaper Editors, at meeting in Washington.
 AS usual, there was prompt tacit agree ment on the part of the State Depart ment and other branches of the Govern ment, plus lip-service approval by number of Senators and Representatives.
 No one needs to be reminded that policy of military secrecy" has been i'm posed on news throughout the war. Bad news has been withheld from the Amer ican public and denied by the United States Government and all other govern ments, with the result that the press, radio and other media of information has been censored. In the judgment of the editors who have just met in solemn con- clave, the freedom of the news has been denied contrary to "the right of people to read and hear news without hind rance"
 The restrictions placed on communica- tions has gone so far that the news papers and the radio have been kept so much in the dark that they have con- stantly adhered to the habit of exercising scrupulous care to "never spill the beans" for fear that they might be mistaken and misinterpret some legitimate object to control the freedom of the press" by withholding information that might be helpful to the enemy"

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt does not approve of comic books for children. And that goes for many others in juvenile and educational work who deploce the traShi- ness of many of this type of books. Twenty-Five or thirty years ago the con- icS were confined to a few newspaper strips and the colored funnies. Since that time, however, we have become sur feited with the so-called funnies in tab Ibid and in book form. Youngsters with their own weekly stipends to spend, know where to get them all, and the newest ones when they come out. Some of them, certainly, are harmless, but they are not particularly edifying, and certainly rate pretty low with other fine juvenile liter ature published today and which is classed as mo good' and "corny" by juvenile SophisticateS.

lost. A Savannah jury made the Government pay not $1,000,O00 but $1,378, 368.36. The Govern ment was out over $378,000.
 Those are some of the facts which Littell, brilliant but emo- tional, did not make clear in his public blasts at his chief. the Attorney General.
 RIDDLES BIG MISTAKE
 Littell is Gods gift to news papermen. He loves to try his cases in the papers. The shy and retiring Riddle doesn't. Neither did the Cabinet members on whose toes Littell stepped. Un- fortunately, in Washington it is sometimes necessary to try cases in the newspapers and step on toes. Sometimes that is the only way you can blast slow-moving red tape. Undoubtedly, Littell did a great service to his country on many things. But he made the mistake of talking about his cabinet chief behind his back, sometimes in words that were fighting terms.
 Riddle waited patiently until after the elections. then asked Littell to resign. That was his big mistake. He should have used the Roosevelt technique of get ting Littell another job.
 Down in South Jersey, Fran cis Riddle has built himself a summer beach cottage where he likes to fish and lounge in old clothes. He fancies himself a great surf fisherman, though he is extremely bad. He also fancies himself quite good automobile driver, thought he is not.
 One day he backed his car of the road into the sand and got stuck. causing his young nephew to remark:
 "If Uncle Francis is smart enough to be Attorney General, you'd think he'd have learned not to back into that sand"
 Today Uncle Francis is wishing he had not backed into Norman Littell

is group there with refreshments for service men to meet the 8 trains which stop at this town in 24-hour period.
 What impressed me was the lack of ostentation with which this grilling piece of service was done. Here indeed were both humility and fidelity. These women seem to take for granted that it was their duty to do this, and should imagine that for many of them 1t meant the loss of nights sleep every week or two as well as great deal of effort ct other times. People doing one-tenth this amount of service are often lauded to teh sky for their fine spirit. Yet here was group of hufi- ble women without much recogni- ton and with practically no rec ward but the thanks of the boys they served. continuing through long weary months to do Q type Of service that many other people would have eyaded.
 There Is Q lot of unnotlced and unpralsed service going on in this world continually, and for tho most part it beneflts the world Q great deal moro thnn the ostentatlous variety.

THE FIGHT AGAINST JAPAN
(New York Times

Great victories have been scored min the Pacific. The Japanese Navy has been wl,ittled down to a size that leaves it no longer . maj or menace. Our forces in the Far East are in a position to bring any point of the Japanese Empire under air attack, either by B-29's flying from land bases or Navy planes flying from carrier decks. Many of the Japanese island bases have been retaken and others by-passed and neutralized, to be cleaned up at our commanders convenience. But there still is a lot to be done be- fore victory.
 The Office of War Information has issued a sobering summary of the Pacific war to date. It shows just how large a task awaits there. The figures of only 277, 900 Japanese killed, and a Japanese army of A. 100000 men with 100000 more available if needed, are respective ly on the conservative and optimis- tic side. But not too far either way OWI does not attempt to evaluate either the difference between the crack troops our Marines and sol- diers have been meeting, and best- ing, on the Pacific atolls and is- lands and the general run-of-the- ranks Japanese soldier. The latter should not prove as though a foe as the one met up to now. But his religion, his fanaticism, which stems from 1t, and his innate sav- agery will make him tough enough. An army still 90 per cent intact, as the OWI figures would tend to show, still must have Q high mos rale.
 The bitter resistance being offered to our troops in the Philippines is evidence enough of how difficult Q Job it Is to fight foe who must bo killed to be defeated. Seven con- voys, carrying an estimated 20,O0 troops, have been destroyed at- tempting to run the United states air.eoa blockade around Leyte, but still General Yamashlta sends in achievements.

Julia Marlowe at seventy-eight years of age, who has remained in retirement since the death of her actor-h husband, E. H. Sothern in 1883, makes her first pub lie appearance this week since that time to supervise public showing at the Museum of the City of New York theatri- cal souvenirs which include costumes of Shakespearean and other plays, jewellery, mementoes of all kinds, owned by the famous stage pair. The showing should be most interesting and will no doubt attract many old-time theatregoers and those of today who like such things.

Penalty on Patriotism

Proper health protection of our fight Ing forces requires adequate clothing for all climates in which the war is being carried on. Proper underwear, therefore, ranks high on the list of essential mili- sary equipment. The boys in the Pacific need one kind of underwear. Those now fighting through a harsh European or Alaskan winter need another kind.
 The underwear industry was ready for ktS important task when the war actually started. It had worked long years with the supply services of the Army and Navy ln developing proper underwear specifi- cations for all war purposes. The leading mills in this field threw open their doors to their competitors so that these, too, gould study the production methods best suited for the industry's huge war job.
 The result was impressive In three years more than 500 million underwear garments have been delivered to the armed forces. Top Army and Navy pur- chasing officials have been lavish in their praise of the industry. The same cannot be said of some other Government agen- cieS. The Office of Price Administration, In particular, fell down on its part of the job by failing to provide the underwear industry with adequate prices on it's war orders.
 Prices on military underwear were fro- zen in a special OPA ceiling regulation early in the war The purpose was to pre- vent undue increases in price. Nobody can quarrel with the aim. But OPAs method was so wrong that it actually encouraged war racketeering and placed a penalty on patriotism. By wiping out profit, OPA's regulation on military un- derwear "put the squeeze" on underwear mills that had done wholehearted war dob from the start, but outsiders and new corners that had not entered this field un- til the war was well on its way were left free from all price control-free to charge the armed-forceS whatever the traffic would bear.
 It is hard to believe, but the price reg ulation governing military apparel dld just that. For the mills that delivered underwear to the armed forces between April 1, 1941, and March 31, 1922, it fixed prices at the highest level attained in the base period. They stayed frozen at that level despite the fact that pro duction costs have continued to rise sharply during the past two years. Thus profits on these war orders were gradu- ally wiped out Today many underwear mills are losing money on every piece of underwear they deliver to the armed forces.
 Nevertheless, the underwear industry has pledged itself to see that every soldier or sailor receives all the underwear he needs. when he needs it. That deserves highest praise. It seems hardly fair that an industry that has kept it's faith with the nation and done magnificent war job from the start should be penaliZed for this by constant drain on it's all-too- meager financial resources. That is cer- tainly not the American way of doing justice and showing appreciation.

This No "Armistice' War

The National Commander of the Amer ncan Legion Edward N. Scheiberllng, gives the country food for thought when he says: "We must not tolerate any dOckeying for peacetime advantages or peacetime jobs until the last German and She last Jap have laid down their last gun" The occasion was the Sixty-fourth annual convention of the American Fed eration of Labor at New Orleans. In an anvigorating address to labor, Con- mander Scheiberling furnished a new and refreshing insight into the sound thinking of the Legion.
 "This is total war;" said Commander Bcheiberling. "The word Armistice is as obsolete as the horse and buggy. . It is unfortunate that all our people are not Eacing this fact Squarely. Those charged with the responsibility for supplying the e0ols of war tell us that these tools are not going to the battlefronts in the vol ulme required. Our brilliant generals in Che war zones are calling for the tools to finish the fob. They must go forward, or we must admit that collectively we are mot backing the attack"
