The inevitable consequences Of lack
OF mobile reserves as noted in yester-
days article are of a cumulative nature
when defending army Is confronted
with constant pressure over a wide
front. The commander in chief is
being continually confronted with tao
tical situations which must be dealt with
or local penetrations may develop into
major breakthroughs The attacker, on
the other hand, as long as he has ample
reserves, can move them toward any
promising soft spot" which his forward
elements may discover. Thus the re-
serves of the defender who is short of
mobile troops tend to become absorbed
piecemeal, in trying to prevent break
through.
The process of absorbing the enemy
reserves before striking q major blow
is one which brought Gen. Eisenhower
complete victory in Tunisia and again
in Normandy. It is q process which now
takes into account the whole enemy
situation in Europe, and may be con-
sidered from the point Of view of the
(armored divisions, motorized divisions,

quate transport) upon which the enemy
must depend to check any major Allied
breakthrough.
On the eastern front the Germans
have managed to bring to halt the
Russian invasion Of East Prussia. They
have done this very largely by the use
Of deep and well-planned zones of de-
fensive works, manned in part at least
by new troops, but certainly reinforced
by considerable strength in mobile for
nations. In Hungary, however, they
have had to depend on mobile forma-
tions to a much larger extent. Here the
open plain affords excellent opportuni-
ties to the Russian armored and motor
lied columns and to cavalry, and the
detection Of large part Of the Hun
garian army has put heavy strain on
the German troops. We may assume
therefore that the Germans have put
into the Hungarian battle all the mobile
formations available on that part OF
their narrowing defensive perimeter and
that no mobile formations can be de-
tached.
On the western front the Germans
have submitted to the loss OF Ill the

aid to its western allies against ia
pan after the downfall of Germany
has been intensified by certain para
graphs In an address made by
Marshal Stain on Monday com.
memorating the twenty seventh an
niversary of the Soviet Revolution.
Emphasizing the necessity of q post
war organization able to avert as
well as resist aggression anywhere,
Stain linked Japan with Germany
rs aggressor nations whose intensive
preparations for war enabled them
both to win initial victories over
peace loving nations, which, not
being interested in a new war, are
usually too late in preparing for It,"
Amplifying this thesis. he drew a
detailed parallel between the Japa-
nese career of conquests after the
initial surprise blow at Pearl Har-
Dor and the sudden German attack
on Russia which carried the Wehr-
macht deep into the Soviet Union
before the onslaught was stayed and
the reverse tide set in. Stain like
wise stated the generalization of
complete disarmament of the ag-
gressor nations" as the logical pre-
requisite to the new international
organization he had in mind.
OF course, it should be understood
that Marshal Stain did not directly
indict Japan as he did Germany.
Japan was referred to in order to
strengthen general thesis for post
war security. Nevertheless, the in
ference was obvious and can hardly
fail to be disturbing to Tokyo. 1t is
IN striking contrast with the discreet
silence on Japanese policies hither-
to observed by Stain and other
leading spokesmen of the Soviet
Union. Furthermore, those remarks
OF the marshal should be read in
context with articles and editorials
IN the tightly controlled Soviet press
depicting Japan's military situation
as increasingly grave and precarious.
Obviously, Russia no longer feels
lmpelled to avoid giving offense to
Japan and thereby running the risk
of being plunged into a two-front
war. 1t is free to speak its mind.
This does not necessarily imply
that Russia is about to enter the Far
Eastern war on our side. Russia has
treaty with Japan which the To-
kyo war lords have been careful to
observe on their side, and the Soviet
Union prides itself on fulfilling its
diplomatic undertakings. The war
against Germany is not yet won,
and the final victory may still en-
tail heavy sacrifices which will leave
Russia tired and depleted. The i'm
portant point to remember is that
the closer the end of the war in
Europe comes. the, freer will Mos
cow be to follow a Far Eastern pol
Icy consonant with what it believes
to be the national interest. If this
logically involves quick end to the
Far Eastern war through aid to the
western powers. no major obstacle
will longer stand in the way.

returned to active duty. One i'm
portant reason for this is the system
Of hrst aid and evacuation. Thus,
two hours after the initial landings
In Normandy, casualties were being
moved back to England.
Even more remarkable are the
figures cited by General Kirk, Sur
geon General of the Army Accord
Ing, to him, $4,000 American soldiers
OF this war are alive and well today
after having suffered wounds which
would surely have killed them in
the First World War. Similarly, 1900
others are completely restored to
health despite the fact that men
who received the same kind of in
juries in 1918 were left cripples for
life. General Kirk is able to report,
further. that the noncombat> death
rate in the Army-death from dis
ease-is the lowest ever recorded,
being only one-twentieth that of the
First World War. Pneumonia NOR
talitieS, for instance, have been re-
duced from "a per cent to a mere
0.6 per cent, with penicillin and
sulfa drugs largely responsible. Ma
laria, too, has been made much less
menacing, it's incidence having been
cut down a full IS per cent under
what 1t was not long after Pearl
Harbor and its fatal form being held
to one one-hundredth Of of one per
cent. Credit for this can be at
tributed to such things as far-seeing
control measures, atabrine and the
amazing "DDT" which, besides
being an effective anti-typhus pow
der, serves as spray so potent that
any wall treated by it is lethal to
flies and mosquitoes for months
afterward.
Above all, however, credit for the
splendid life-saving and health
preserving record of the Army and
Navy belongs to those doctors and
technicians in both services who
have done the overall planning and
who, together with the nurses, are
close to the firing line in every
battle. What they have done con-
stitutes an unprecedented achieve
ment making this war - fearsome
as 1t is-considerably less terrible
than it could have been. They have
much to be proud of, and the Nation
as a whole owes them its thanks.

Inclusive Plan for Peace

To the Editor Of The Star:
Never in world history, either in war
or peace, have there been so many
peace plans proposed, or 50 much dis
cussion Of ways and means for gaining
a just and lasting peace
This Is highly significant and heart
ening, Notwithstanding the saying,
Talk is cheap" and Ben Franklins
witticism, Many words won't fill a
bushel." To me 1t shows that the people
are thinking and are more determined
than ever before that something ef1ec-
tive must be done now.
Recently there came to my attention
a peace pledge which embodies the
most important and promising fea-
lures of all the plans OF which I know.
1t Is sponsored by the Writers War
Board, New York City, of which Justice
Owen j. Roberts is honorary chairman,
and is signed by prominent persons in
every walk Of life.
am submitting it for consideration
by all who may read this:
Mindful that am a citizen of a
great country created 160 years ago by
the union Of 13 divided and quarreling
colonies; and convinced that the world
today holds as much wisdom as did
that of the Founding Fathers, declare
myself for these propositions:
Zone, that to save myself, my chill
dren and my fellow-beings from In
evitable destruction in future world
wars, world organization shall be
formed;
1.-TWO, that this world organization
shall in the beginning consist OF the
United Nations and such neutral coun-
tries as may be admitted by them;
Three. that the Axis powers, their
allies and their sympathizers, shall have
the status Of territories on probation
until the world organization shall ad-
NIT them to membership;
-Four, that no member nation may
at any time or for any reason secede
from the world organization;
Five, that each member nation of
the world organization shall give up
forever the sovereign right to commit
acts OF war against other nations:
six, that the authority of the world
organization shall be made effective
and irresistible by the establishment
Of an international police force;
Seven, that primary goal OF world
organization shall be the gradual abon-
tion OF economic and political imperial
ism throughout the world, and
Eight, that it shall be the first duty
Of the world organization not merely
to destroy the military power of the
Germans and Japanese, but to formu-
late and carry into execution whatever
measures may be deemed necessary to
prevent them from preparing for 4
third world war of conquest.
"Solemnly aware that the acceptance
of these propositions involves the crea-
tion In myself Of q loyalty to the human
race along with, but not conflicting
with. my loyalty to my own country, !
do hereby set my hand. and pledge the
allegiance Of my heart"

School officials congratulated
themselves upon the success of

city and rural schools this year.
They not only had to meet compe-
tition in other areas on salaries but
also on available housing and trans

Shortage of the usual number of
teachers was, of course, the fault
of the war and the high salaries
paid in war industries. Retired
teachers returned to work and
agreed to carry on in order TO keep
the schools running. The valuable
work of those who went back to
teaching, school officials agreed,
helped greatly.
