Coast Guard Anniversary

The United States Coast Guard, 154 years
old and going stronger than ever, deserves
a special hymn of praise on its birthday For,
though the Coast Guardsmen are not exactly
unsung heroes, few of us have an adequate
idea of the variety of important jobs they do,
in peace as well as war;
Their wartime assignments are of the high
est Importance. Because of their ability to
handle small craft, Coast Guardsmen have
been chosen to spearhead every one OF our
invasion landings from Guadalcanal and the
Aleutians to Normandy and Guam. Once
ashore with the first wave of landing troops,
they serve as beachma sters to direct further
operations.
Coast Guard rescue work from the and
from the air has saved many lives. In the
"a hours after H-Hour of D-Day, Coast Guard
83-footers rescued 800 soldiers and sailors
from the Channel 1t was Coast Guardsman,
Capt. Carl Van Paulsen who fired the first
American shot of World War II, against a
Nazi radio station in. Greenland.
Another Coast Guardsman, John Cullen, ap-
pretended three enemy agents landing from
submarine on Long Island and paved the
way for the capture and execution of danger
Gus group of Naz saboteurs.
Since it's organization on Aug. 4. 1890, as
the Revenue Cutter Service, this branch of
American arms has fought in all of our wars
except that against Tripoli. In these engage
ments it has functioned as part of the Navy.
but in peacetime the Coast Guard is attached
to the Treasury Department.
The Coast Guards original job, enforcing
maritime and customs laws, continues. It's big
peacetime job of port security, which includes
fire prevention and fire fighting, is more i'm
portant than ever today. And in addition to its
vital convoy and patrol duties, the Coast
Guard maintains it's observation and reports
on icebergs and weather conditions, and still
bosses lighthouses, lightships, radio beacons,
etc.
The wartime Coast Guard of 1000 officers
and men is small unit, though larger than
our pre-war Navy. But Coast Guardsmen have
performed a service far out of proportion to
their numerical strength. When peace returns
many Of them will stick with their job.
More power to them-and many happy re-
turns.

A Good Job Done

ished is encoura ging. 1t is good to see one
war problem licked and one war agency S
work finished.
1t is even better to reflect upon the splendid
work done by Mr.. Dewey and his predecessor,
William LETTERS, and upon the remarkable ac-
compl: shments of American science and in
dustry in putting synthetic rubber into pro-
duction
All this doesn't mean lot of new tires for
civilians. The rubber supply is now adequate
but shortages in manpower, facilities, and GER
tain materials like cotton and rayon cord re-
remain. New factories, built at a cost Of
rs million dollars will provide new facilities
late this year. But they may also create
new manpower problems
These problems, however, can be overcome
The main interest in Mr.. Deweys request is
the knowledge that our first, most pressing.

The Guys On the Ground" by
Capt. Alfred Friendly DueIl,
Sloan and Pearce; S2.50).
Some nitwit politician is sure to
discover, a little later, that our
armed forces have been wildly ex-
,,avagant in this war; there are
always executives who waste
time turning out some other per-
sons electric lights. But luckily,
Capt. Alfred Friendly has written
a book that will set any NEEDLE
sume Matte back. It is called
1.-THE Guys on the Ground" and it
is written as proof that our Axis
friends were simple liars when
trey informed rs that Americans
he d grown soft. that luxury had
eaten out the hard core of our re-
slstance, that the cid pioneer abil-
~ to make Whatever was needed
out of busted wheelbarrow had
been lost.
Captain F'riendly's book is not
about the men who fly the planes,
but about the fellows who take
over when the planes come in
smoking, reburbish them, send
them out again. It is not onlv
about ground crews, but about the
supply services, and the units that
make the more elaborate repairs.

The Thirty Years War

Thirty years ago, on Aug. 4, 1914, the Ger
war which continues to-day. The restless
troubled years between 1918 and 1899 were not
peace, but deceptive lull in which some
prepared to renew the fight while others look
ed on in an almost fatal lethargy
Thirty years ago there began What most of
the world thought was another of Europe's
wars in which convenient incident served
as excuse for trying to settle some more of
Europes interminable diplomatic squabbles
But power-hungry Germany bent on world
conquest knew it was to be a peoples war,
bloody, devastating, total war fought with
new and deadly instruments of science and
IDEAS
The first conflict taught America that sci
ence had shrunk the world until no country
could be sure that it might live undisturbed in
peace and freedom while force that opposed
peace and freedom sought to impose it's will
elsewhere on the globe. We learned the lesson
slowly. Some thought, at the armistice, that
war was gone forever. Others believed that
Germ us.
That clash of American opinion prevented
our joining the League of Nations. Doubtless
we should have done so and lent our power
and prestige and idealism to the preservation
Of peace Yet it is not indisputable that we
would have succeeded. We can see now that
the League, in principle, stopped just short
Of the strong measures needed to put down
incipient war, and, in practice, stopped con-
siderably shorter.
There was a good deal of cynicism as well
as idealism in the League. There were too
many statesmen who wanted to play power
politics the same old way. There were too
many Northumberland agreements and under
standings. Old habits and preiudices were too
strong when the showdowns came in Man.
not at all certain that our presence could
have altered the course of events
The second outbreak has taught us no new
lessons. The world knew in the 81 years OF
armistice that the resumption of war would
be even more bloody and devastating. The
world knew what countries would have to be
put down, and why. America knew, even as
she tried to persuade herself otherwise that
the world had shrunk still smaller and that
escape was impossible
The modern Thirty Years War is drawing
to close. This time the prospects for peace
are more promising. Today, at least, we know
that if the job is not done right this time,
more war will come, and bring with it not
only the end of progress, but the end OF
civilization as we know it. That is the sober,
literal, frightful truth.

Too Tired

For weeks German armies in the east have
been rapidly advancing backward. That's tir-
ing. When they STOP the Russians pound them.
That's wearying. And now when they are
almost too tuckered out to raise hand, the
Fuehrer reinstitutes that stiff armed Nazi sa-
lutte.
So we can believe the German radio when
it says that pledges of loyalty to Hitler have
been slow in coming through from the eastern
front because Of extreme fatigue"
