purposes. The political situation, little
of which is known to the outside world,
is seething. Hardly week goes by
without the army having to check some
new local disturbance The lines of
communication throughout India are
long and exposed. Indian dissidents
and outfits working at the instigation
OF enemy agents are trying to disrupt
them. The forces concentrated on
the Burma front must be adequately
supplied. Hence the lines must be care
fully guarded by British and native
troops.
Assuming that there are about half
million men scattered over the large
territory extending from the Gulf of
Bengal to the Arabian Sea-that is to
say, between Calcutta and Bombay-this
force would be adequate to deal with the
japanese If the internal situation in In
ola were satisfactory. In the present
unrest, however, such a force is none
too large.
The somewhat unexpected japanese
adventure is believed to have been
prompted principally by the desire of
the Toxic government to bolster morale
on the home front which has been seri-
ously shaken by defeats suffered in the
Pacific. Although Japanese censorship
has attempted to cover UP the defeats,
news of the setbacks has percolated
through to the masses. The Japanese

cient as the GeStapo, although 1t Is about

case in the last war, the idea takes
hold that military men should be
allowed to cover up mistakes in judg-
ment and that the public should wait
patiently till the war is over to apply
corrective influence. In any war civil
ian morale is important, but even
more important is morale inside the
armed services. In complicated war
involving different kinds of weapons
and units, there should be a thorough
understanding of the necessities of each
others groups or units in the armed
services. Outlines of function on pa
per are all well enough, as probably
they were before the Pearl Harbor
tragedy, but what is needed to prevent
tragedy of that kind is a cooperative
spirit in practice at all levels and in
all units from the bottom up.
Sometimes, however, what is outlined
officially on paper gives rise to wrong
psychology down the line. The Army
Air Forces, for example, do not like
to be criticized for an alleged emphasis
on the idea of an independent air force,
and yet in the Doctrine of Command"
covered in the War Departments Field
Service Regulations of July 81, 1943,
made public October 10, 1943, what
amounts to separate and independent
air force was actually created. 1t is in
existence today. For the regulations
have not been changed. They read in
part:
Relationship of Forces-Land power
and air power are co-equal and inter-
dependent forces; neither is an auxiliary
of the other"
*
This is unfortunate language and
contradicts a basic military viewpoint
that has been held for years concern
ing the use of all other military
weapons. Certainly it would hardly be
contended today that field artillery is
not an auxiliary of infantry and yet

Fudino Luftwuffe

During the 24-hour period ending
at noon Thursday, more than 5000
British and American planes took
part in offensive missions over
Europe. They dropped approx
mately 6,720 tons of bombs on their
targets, or an average of about $50
tons an hour. It is absurd to talk
of this sort of thing in terms Of air
raids, for it is not raiding but rather
an all-out smashing offensive-an
offensive which is spreading ruin
throughout the Reich on a scale
never before approached.
The objective of this aerial in
vasion is not confined to the de-
struction of ground targets, however.
A second and perhaps even more
important objective is to compel the
Luftwaffe to come up and fight, in
the hope of breaking its strength
before the Allied invasion armies
strike at Hitler's European frontiers.
An indication of the boldness with
which this offensive against the
enemy air force is being pressed may
be found in Wednesdays attack on
Berlin. A large force of American
heavy bombers, escorted by 1000 or
more fighters, took part. There was
no effort To avoid contact with the
enemy. On the contrary, Allied
radios flashed a warning to Berlin
that the attack was coming and
urged civilians to evacuate specified

as ruthless. Thus, the home front has
become alarmingly disturbed and it
needs spectacular victory to bring
back the old confidence that Japan can
not be defeated.
The imperial staff refuses to risk
the navy in a combat with the American
naval forces and the best bet for a
morale booster consequently was a spec
tacular operation In India.
For the time being the Japanese are
not sure that they can get away with

broadcasts and official communicates.
But the Jap advance is continuing and
a major clash between the Jap and
British forces may take place soon.
The British commander in chief In
India who personally is responsible for
meeting these operations is Gen. Claude
Auchinleck, who has q reputation of
being good strategist, although In the
campaign against Marshal Erwin Rom
mel in Egypt he proved somewhat slow
and lacking in initiative. The situation
in India, however, is different from
the one in Egypt, where the extensive
desert permitted his opponent to make
quick stabs and wide detours.
The movements of the Japanese neces-
sarily must be slow, but whether Gen.
Auchinleck will have time to concen-
trate sufficient forces to defend Imphal

Letters to The Star
Peace Society Head Defends
Secretary Hull Against Critics.

To the Editor Of The Star:
wish to express my grateful appre-
citation for your wise and generous edi-
torial on American foreign policy. 1t
comes as a refreshing relief from the
lll-conSidered TRADES now directed
against the President and the Secre-
tary of State.
When Secretary Hull is asked to be
more definite concerning our foreign
policy, 1t is good deal like asking
Gen. Eisenhower to be more specific
concerning his plans for the invasion
of Europe. Our policy for invasion has
been clearly determined. How it should
be implemented depends on many fac
tors that cannot possibly be disclosed
Shifting fortunes of war compel
unforeseen adjustments of plans. The
public cannot possibly expect to be
taken into the confidence of Gen. Eisen-
hover or of the President.
In some ways Secretary Hull's task is
much more complicated and discourag-
ing. While he must wait upon military
developments before he can be specific
concerning our foreign policy, he has
to deal day by day with delicate and
dangerous diplomatic problems which
may initiate against the execution of
that policy. Moreover, he cannot pos
sibly take the public into his full conf
dence. That might easily wreck unity
of purpose and action with our Allies.
1t might even seriously affect our mill
tary operations.
Secretary Hull never should be asked
to disclose the details of our negotia-
urif nrtt s,x
either in Teheran, Moscow or London
He should not be required to give all
the reasons for our policy toward Gen.
de Gaulle. He should not be pressed
to discuss the extremely difficult aspects
of our policy toward Badoglio. He
should not be expected to tell what
our attitude toward Russian policy in
the Baltic states and the Balkans
may be. He cannot furnish a blue
print of the kind of international or
ganization which may be desirable or
attainable when the war is won. He
cannot possibly be specific concern
Ing the detailed Interpretation and ap-
plication of the principles of the Allan
tic Charter.
Secretary Hull clearly has stated the
main objectives of our postwar policy
and they surely should commend them
selves to all who work and fight for
sound and durable peace He has en-
Joyed the respect and the confidence
OF the country more than any other
official of the Government. He has
been very wise and patient. He has
been most considerate, notably in his
attitude toward the countries of Latin
America. He now deserves the full
confidence and support of the Ameri-
can people. He should not be sub
Jected to the criticism, the abuse and
the ridicule now being directed against
him in so shocking and alarming
manner. Winning the peace and win
ming the war both demand that we all
stand solidly behind our leaders. 1t
is not enough to back the attack with
bonds" We must back the attack with
loyal trust and national unity.

War Policy Critics
Maj. George Fielding Eliot

is told, in the hours of calm reflection
and detailed analysis which the coming
of peace will make possible, that it will
be discovered and admitted that we
made good many mistakes, but that on
the whole we followed line of policy
which was consistent with our military
interests and probably could not have
been much improved on under the cir
cumstances which confronted those who
had to make the decisions. There will
be lot of argument both ways, of
course, but a great deal of it will arise
from those who, having once taken a
position, are thereafter incapable of
admitting that they could have been
wrong.
Or take this matter of Mr.. Hulls
recent statement of principles under
lying the foreign policy of the United
States. This statement Is admirable in
itself. 1t sets forth principles which
most of us are willing to subscribe to,
and whose furtherance is essential to
the present and future well-being of
this Republic and of the world of which
it is part. Yet Mr.. Hull is promptly
held up to scorn and criticism because
he does not amplify and explain these
principles by giving concrete examples
of their practical application to i'm
mediate and proximate affairs. If he
did SO, of course, he would expose the
principles themselves to attack in detail
by every one who did not happen to
like one or more of the particular appn-
cations which he might instance. He
would be making the mistake which
was made by the proponents of the
League of Nations in 1920 by dotting too
many is and crossing too many t's, an
error of which the opponents of the
League were quick to take advantage,
emasculating the whole proposal by q
series of successive reservations which
stripped it bit by bit of every strength
and virtue.
Or consider our relations with the
Soviet Union. Let the suggestion be
made that the Kremlin Is not, to put It

target areas in the German capital.
If ever there was a defiant-almost
contemptuous-challenge this was
it, but not a single German fighter
arose to meet the invaders.
This does not mean that the Luft-
waite has been beaten into submis-
sion, for it fought back bravely
Thursday. But its strength was
measured in groups of so and 100
planes-hopelessly inferior to the
Swarms of Allied fighters shielding
our own bomber fleets.
1t is possible, Of course, that Goer-
ing is holding back his planes to
meet the invasion threat. But if he
is doing this, it is at the price of
exposing the Reich's industrial war
machine to a merciless and ruinous
pounding. 1t is far more likely that
the Luftwaffe is fading, that it is
doing its best but that it's best is
not good enough.
