Democracy the cure for war.
In MS Boston speech the President
talked of victory in terms of "waging
peace Two things are necessary:
FIRST, what William James observed
some so years ago in his moral eouiva-
lent Tor war" Nations and the COM
munlty OF nations must undertake
great communal and inter-communaI
enterprises that will capture the i'm
aglnations of the people and offer
equivalent outlets for sacrifice, devo-
uon, and unity. which are the con-
structive elements of war Peace must

dote for war

tance of psychological warfare" that.
ike every other warning country, we are
spending immense sums-here more
than million dollars a week-on pro-
paganda. But when in history has any
government appropriated a comparable
sum with which to fight war itself?
Even the League OF Nations never did
so. Yet, in literature. radio, films. and
advertising techniques we possess the
most powerful instruments over human
minds. Through them we can celebrate
the heroisms and achievements of peace
and the crime of aggressive war. 1t is
task to attract the most gifted in
tellects and talents, and could, if un-
remittingly pursued, make war unthink-

The conquest Of war is conquest over
the mind OF man. The mind is moved
by certain elemental instincts-sur-
vival, the ego, love in all it's sublima-
tions, and the aggressive instinct. All
these can be canalized into creation or
destruction, even the aggressive instinct.
Our pioneering fathers canalized it into
the battle against the wilderness. Man
has many enemies beside his fellow

may enable the enemy to bring to the
field OF action more materials from
factories in the east
In the meantime, the American and
British strategists are looking hopefully
toward the eastern front. A remarkable
luil has settled over that area since last
summer when the Red armies reached
Warsaw and then turned their attention
to Finland, the Baltic provinces, the
Balkans and Hungary. The occasional
incursions in East Prussia we're never
regarded here as important military
actions since they had been undertaken
with flying columns of cavalry and
mechanical forces. Although these in
cursions caused big headlines, American
military experts realized they were not
the beginning Of the big offensive in
the east.
In the last few weeks, even these local
operations shave ceased and the Red
armies have been fighting vigorously
only on the unimportant Hungarian
front.
The lull on the Vistula front might,
however, presage new offensive syn
chronized with the all-out Allied effort
In the west.
Neither the American nor British
high commands has any first-hand
knowledge of the intentions of the Red
Army. Ever since the Russians started
their victorious counteroffensive in l943,
the American and British chiefs of
staff learned of what the Red Army
was doing only after it happened. The
major line of the Russian strategy is,
of course. known because it was def
nitely agreed on at Teheran year ago.
1t was then decided that as soon as the
Allied forces in the west began their
major offensive on the western front
the Russian armies would strike out in
the east so that both could reach Berlin
about the same time. But details of
the Russian plans were never known
either in Washington or London
Now that the second major offensive
intended to break all organized resist
ance in the Reich has started, however,
it is possible that the Russians. who have
had enough time to gather the vast
amount of supplies necessary for an
about attack, will renew their big
drive

Small SeIf-DenioI

In opening the Sixth War Loan
campaign last night the President
placed the major emphasis of his
brief remarks on the practice of self
denial here at home which in man
ner of speaking will parallel the self
sacrifice of the fighting men at the
front.
Not that there is any comparison
All the President had in mind was
that while all of us cannot fight at
the front or even take an active part
in the production of fighting equip
ment, the purchase of bonds does
provide means by which every one
can contribute something to WIN
ming the war. BY way of illustra-
ton, he said the war will cost us, in
the month of November alone, seven
and half billion dollars. And by
way of comparison, the Nationwide
goal in this drive-fourteen billion
dollars is not quite twice that
amount.
There is patriotic quality in the
purchase of bonds. You turn over
your money to the Government,
which uses it to make available to
the fighting forces the supplies they
need in carrying on the war. But
how small sacrifice this is, how
little self-denial is involved, how
easy a method of demonstrating
ones patriotism!
For purchase of a bond is the
safest investment in the world today,
the most practical form of putting
something aside for the future, the
least onerous of any real denial.
The. man who is buying bonds is con-
tributing something to victory in this
war. But he is contributing as much
in his own future and self lf-respect.
We are blessed, indeed, by a good
fortune which requires merely that
we lend our mo- ay, with interest, in
stead OF giving our possessions and
our lives in defense of our country.

Letters to The Star
Insists That w Bombs Show
"War Is Not Over"
To the Editor of The Star.

I To the Editor of The Star:
Perhaps it is possible to forgive
Hollywood for fostering the impression
that all German soldiers are blundering
fools, who always allow prisoners to
escape, thoughtfully provide a fast
plane standing on the airstrip with the
motor ticking over, and fire their guns
wide of the mark as the plane slips
away into the shadows bearing the ht ro.
It is Hollywood axiom that the nero
must live.
American military experts. however,
must be more careful They of all people
should realize that Germany is a dan
gerous. deadly enemy, and thatssGe
man weapons, particularly those Spring-
ing from the efforts Of Germans Fscien-
lists and engineers, are notsgto be
laughed at. &
In his column of November 13fn your
paper, Major George Fielding Eliot
missed the boat completely on the sub
ject of W. rocket control. He spoke
of using spies or air observation to de-
termine where the va hits and, after
rather antiquated discussion on the
subject of fire control, he concluded that
the enemy has no means of knowing
where his rockets land. This was the
whole point of his column for the day.
While, as Major Eliot admits, we do
not know much about the W., Time
Magazine for October % provides very
probable answer to the fire. control prob
lem with the following information on
the vi rocket bomb: lone in every 10
of the (V-D missiles launched from the
ramps of the Channel Coast was
equipped with radio transmitter SO
that its course could be followed, cor
rections made accordingly for direc-
ton and range. Result: the Germans,
without much information on the winds
over England, were still able to aim
the flying bombs with disconcerting
precision. Once the course of the
radio-equipped pilot bombs had been
charted, the crews could send of more,
with fair assurance that they could hit
any neighborhood of London"
Accurate eyaluation of enemy weap-
ons should confirm the fact that they
are dangerous. The war is not over.

At the time this is written the situa-
ton on the western front still is obscure
The six Allied armies-four American,
one British and one French, with the
Canadians as general reserve for an
other eventual surprise attack - are
progressing according to schedule
Germans are fighting with expected
doggedness, officers and men aware Of
the Importance of the Allied attack. If
the Allies succeed in crossing the Rhine,
the situation in the Fatherland will
become desperate. If they can hold us
back the Germans will have another
breathing spell of several months dur
ing which they can organize new re-
serves and provide them with more war
material: some of the secret weapons
OH which the German technicians are
working feverishly also may be pro-
duced in telling quantities.
Allied general staffs have a good idea
of the size Of the remaining German
military strength. About 200 divisions
are available on both the eastern and
western fronts and about is divisions
in Italy and Northern Yugoslavia. But

there are very scant operatioral re-

man in the Reich, already has taken
place but the new troops have not yet
received more than slight training.
af
1t is true that less intensive training
Is needed for soldiers who are fighting
behind strong Notifications But the
new German reserves, with the excep-
ton of the Hitler Youth outfit, have not
yet had time to acquaint themselves
with the manipulation of small arms
and other war paraphernalia Some of
the old organized reserve units have
been broken up in order to form a pro-
fessional nucleus of the new outfits.
American military observers believe
the Germans have gathered important
quantities of war material in the Rhine
area to meet the present Allied on
slaught and the ration of shell supplies
is not far below the present required
standard of one ton per day per gun.
