Poison Gas Training

One thing the Allied military command has
learned in this war is to be prepared for
anything. And one of the things it is pre-
pairing for is the use of poison gas by Hitler
1t has long been believed that when Hitler
is finally cornered beyond any hope of escape
he will resort to gas raids despite the fact
that gas is outlawed. The world has had too
many examples of Hitler's broken pledges
to place any faith in another.
The American army therefore is training
forces in poison gas use with such thorough
ness that if Hitler does not fall back upon
it the reason will spring from his fear of
reprisal. Camp Sibert. in Alabama, where
special training is being given, is looked upon
by the Army insurance to protect the
United Nations against gas attacks and as
sue swift and effective counter measures
should the enemy resort to them.
Army authorities as quoted in dispatch
bearing Camp Davis dateline, do not intend
to dsparage Edgewood arsenal, which is the
fountsinhead of our Chemical Warfare serv-
ice, or the Huntsville. Ala, or Pine Bluff,
Ark, arsenals. or the Dugway Proving
Grounds in Utah. These CWs installations
provide all the chemical weapons, thoroughly
tested. that the Army needs. But Army men
declare that it is only at Camp Sibert that
every hours training given thousands of troops
daily is planned with the one thought in mind
that tomorrow there may be gas warfare;
albeit with the silent hope that it will never
| come Some chemical warfare training is CIV
en- in most other Army camps, but this is
primarily of a defensive nature.
| At Sibert thousands of men daily handle
dread mustard gas, Lewisite, phosgene, and
chlorine in their basic training. They handle
these both Extensively and defensively. These
are applied to troops in surprise attacks by
hedge-hopping planes and by other means.
But if gas warfare never comes, and the
Army never has to collect on its insurance
policy, which is Camp Sibert, this camp will
still pay big dividends in this war, for chem

An outstanding aspect of the present Pa
cific campaign is that it started when Ad-
miral Nimitz had assembled sufficient naval
While the public was wondering why no
major offensive was being started and many
persons were prone to condemn the armed
forces for their delay, the passing days wit
messed the launching of new naval craft and
the building of new warplanes until their unit
ed numbers reached total which gave prom
Use of success for the action which Admiral
Nimitz has so splendidly initiated against ia
pans island outposts. What the public ap-
praised as sloth and not few condemned
as indecision turns out to have been careful
preparation backed by production.
Any careful consideration of the situation
in Europe must include the way things have
recently been going in the Pacific. Persons
inclined to grumble because the invasion Of
the Continent from England has not been
started, who hold each passing day day
lost would do well to weigh the successes in
the Pacific against the time it took to bring
them about The days in Europe are not
being lost. Rather they are spent in prepare
ton for such an overwhelming assault against
Hitler that his forces cannot hope to turn
them back Or long resist, despite the mil
lions he still has under arms and his con-
timed production of war tools.
There is this to consider also. While men
and ships and planes and supplies are being
assembled in the British Isles for invasion,
the Royal Air Force and the American Air
Forces are daily and nightly pouring down
rain of bombs upon Hitler's production CEN
tiers and defenses such as the world has never
known before and God willing will never be
necessary again, the results OF which are
already perceptible in Hitler's weakening air
pcwer and lessening flow of material.
At the best Europe's invasion will be
costly undertaking. But we may be sure it
will come, just as Admiral Nimitz' assault
on Tapan's outer bastions came when Gen.
eral Eisenhower is convinced it will meet
with success in the shortest possible time
and with the smallest possible losses.

The Red Cross

The American Red Cross is now organizing
its annual campaign for funds with which to
carry on its great work of relief and mercy
It is not probable that many persons in this
country do not know something about the
services of this organization, but it is equally
probable that very few know how extensive
and far-reaching they are.
In order that Star-News readers may gain
some idea of the breadth and depth and kind
ness Of Red Cross activities we are listing
some of its services to members of the United
States armed forces. These are few:
Assists with communications between serv-
icemen and their families W h e common
means are not available or effective, and with
communications through the International Red
Cross in situations where normal channels
are disrupted.
Supplies information concerning government
regulations and legislation affecting service.

concerning the International Red Cross and
its regulations, and concerning community re-
sources and assistance available for families.
Assists servicemen and their dependents in
applying for family allowances, and ex-serv-
icemen and their dependents in presenting
claims for pensions and other government ben
efits.
Assists the military and naval authorities
by obtaining reports required for medical
treatment or in deciding questions of dis
charge, furlough, Or clemency.
Provides financial assistance for basic main

rights this would seem to be an appropriate

The fundamental idea of taxation is to dis
tribute the load equally among all people,
with favoritism toward none
A sales tax would do just that.
Every article purchased, from safety pins
to tractors, from cents to $1,000,0O0, would
De taxed.
There could be no reason for anyone then
to claim that taxation favored the greedy
while depressing the needy.
The largest corporations would be levied
upon as heavily as the smallest wage Garner.
Corporation and wage Garner would be equally
tax conscious.
Furthermore there would no longer be days
and nights OF bewilderment, of sweat and
tears if not blood, wrestling with income tax
forms and paying deficiency bills. Instead
the purchaser would pay few pennies or
few thousand dollars every time he marched
up to store counter or placed an order
for goods.
By its decisive action on the tax bill veto
Congress showed that it does not have to
knuckle down under Presidential antagonism.
In its present frame Of mind it could over
ride President Roosevelt's opposition to a
sales tax. Why not do it?
