Suppose that both sides had
equipped the shores in their
possession with long range air
power. The Americans would
use as their bases the Marianas.
Guam, zap and Palau. and the
Japanese as their bases the Phil.
ippines, Formosa and Japan
proper. Then the West Pacific
would be lake ringed by OPP
posing air forces, each capable
of striking at any point in this
area. Under such conditions any
ship that ventured into the
lake, whether built in 1912 or
1914. would be instantly de-
stroyed by air power. That, in
effect, is the picture of the
entire ocean in the near future.
There is no question that our
occupation of Saipan was
looked upon by the Japanese
with great apprehension.
But II was not until the re-
cent bombing of Japan by the
B-29 Superfortresses that their
morale was rocked by a vision
of Saipan as a possible base for
long range aviation.
1t is now probably the Japa-

MO ONE who has not expert
~ enced il can appreciate the
deep emotions and convictions
of free men attending such a
convention as the Republican IN
Chicago.
Where else in all this world
at war can tens OF thousands
of men and women convene IN
opposition TO the government in
power, convene and meet IN
freedom and in safety?
That is the heart Of the
United States. That is the
greatness of our country-one
indivisible. but free. and as free
in time of war as in time Of
peace.
l looked into the faces of
those thousands in the Chicago
stadium. They came from every
part of the country. They trav-
eled at will from every state IN
the Union without the consent
of any governmental authority.
They wore badges and buttons
and carried placards, every
word of which indicated OPPOSE
ton 10 the current administra-
ton of the United States.
They met to change the gov
eminent. to substitute for him
who heads the state some one
else of their own choosing. They
were not craven conspirators,
hiding in caves and cellars.
They were not communicating
by sign language. They were
not hiding underground fearful
of prying eyes and listening
ears. They were not scared.
They were free men, expressing
in freedom their ideas and be-
liefs, their hopes. their faith in
what is right and best for their
country. They were performing
a privilege of citizenship.
THAT is what makes the
L American people different
from any other people upon all
this earth: we do not fear our
own government. We may
favor ii or oppose it. but we are
not afraid of il. And not being
afraid of il, we support it 10y
ally even when we differ. We
can support and differ from it
at the same time.
The paradox OF loyalty and
political opposition may not be
understood by those who fear
their governments. 1t is en-
tirely and clearly understood by
every true American. II was
beyond doubt in the heart and
mind of every delegate to this
convention.

College fashions, like the girls who
wear them, have changed a lot in
the past couple Of years. Both are
more realistic, serve more useful
life. Gone are the baggy Jackets,
bunchy skirts and baby affectations,
dismissed as "infantile" with a look
that sears her horn rims. In their
stead are smart, slick clothes. clothes
that are well prepared for the fast
tempo OF our lives, that are as neat
and efficient as their wearers.
Your wardrobe should be stream
lined this year like your curriculum,
and, like it, based on the ageless
classics. The class motto is "More
from Less"-and the way to do it is
to bank on classics and to co-ordi-
nate them. First, plan carefully
around a key color and then choose
slacks and skirts that can be used
INTERCHANGEABLE with vests. Jacket
and topper of matching or CONTRAST
ing color. Go for jumpers that can
sail blithely from chem lab to cock
tail date by mere flick of the wrist
and coats that will 60 amiably with
everything.
Start with a suit, for example.
Let your one wonderful suit be CAB
ardine that can be dressed up or
down, that can go from the learn"
part of life to the earn" part with
distinction. Or choose gray. the
newest and most important color in
college halls. Take your gray un-
aoulterated in a fine flannel suit
(gray flannels are live-forever
classics) or spike with plaid for the
binding OF the jacket, ehe fabric of
the skirt. Be sure, though, that
your suit Is a good mixer. One such
is houndstooth affair, green pre-
dominating, its cardigan Jacket
piped with cocoa brown, its skirt of
matching checks. The Joy of this
Is that you can team the checked
skirt with any green, beige or brown
topper while the jacket can do the
rounds with one of a series of new
skirts.
Your new skirt will really look
neW-rather than a variation of an
old theme. 1t may be a great bulk
OF skirt in tweed, for example,
surprisingly side-w ped and
sashed-or 1t may be pared to SLIM

newest are frankly side-buckled

Dear Miss Dix: Can you not say
something in your column that will
make kind and well-meaning friends
and relatives show some mercy to
the boys who come home on fur
loughs? AS it is, the minute a lad
gets off the train they practically
kidnap him. They drag him about
from place to place and party to
party without reference to his own
desires or consideration for his fam
lily They never leave him alone
for a moment or give him any rest
so the whole purpose of his fur
Tough is frustrated.
AS soon as our boy comes home
our relatives, and even the boys he
went to school with descend on him
in droves. If he stays home an
evening. they jam the house so that
we never get a private word with
him. They insist on taking him out
and making the rounds of taverns
and night clubs. He hates drink
and loathes the whole proceeding.
When he tries to get out of going
to places they won't take mo" for
an answer.
