FOR WISDOM IN VICTORY
Thou hast answered our prayers,
o Faithful Father in Heaven, and
hast given many and great victo'

longeth the thanks and the glory
Because we have fought for the
eternal goals of God, Thou hast
rewarded us with these present

more and greater until the war is
ended and Thy Name vindicated
We pray that in the hour of sue
cess we may have. magnanimous
and merciful minds. Let the valor
of our men be supplemented by

OF men, and give us, instead
deep hatred Of wrong ideas. Pre-
pare our hearts, and those of the
defeated foe, for a peace of JUS

within us the great motives Of re-

Cr0pper On First Hurdle

The Dumbarton Oaks conference has begun
its second phase with conversations among
the American, British and Chinese delegates
The first phase, in which Russia participated
and China did not, was scheduled for three
weeks, but continued for six. The closing
caused about as much excitement as the end
OF the baseball season in Philadelphia
One reason for the lack sof excitement was
that the public knew very little about what
was being accomplished toward finding a
basis for a world security organization. I'm
dersecretary Of State Stettinius assured the
world that progress was made ar d much
unanimity of purpose achieved. But satisfac-
ton IN this is Offset by the puzzling and per-
s1stent reports of a major point of disagree
ment.
Ifis has to do with the proposed world or
ganlzation's procedure if one Of the major
powers is accused of aggression. Russia is
understood to have insisted on the accued
powers right to vote on the accusation. This
country and Britain repeatedly favored the de-
NAL OF that voting right.
The puzzling thing is how group of big
league diplomats could find themselves sty-
mied by such question. Certainly there is
only one possible answer, which any reason
ably well-informe6 person should be able to
give in short order. And it would be some.
thing like this:
The present proposal for a world security
organization would require a unanimous vote
OF the permanent 0najor power) members
and majority vote of the smaller power
members on the executive council before &C.
ton could be taken to halt aggression.
But great power, accused of aggression
and allowed to vote, certainly would not vote
itself guilty.
Accordingly, if one Of the great powers were
clearly the aggressor, the world security or
ganization would be powerless to act. The
elaborate machinery Of arbitration, sanctions
and force couldn't even get started.
Besides obstructing the function of any
world peace group such provision would
certainly. commit the trainers of the world
security plan to a policy Of one set Of laws

Filipino CONSUMPTION

Japan's puppet president Of the Philippines,
Jose P. Laurel, who had previously declared
there would be no consumption OF Flnpnos
for military service for Japan, has renewed
his declaration, we must assume with Tokyo's
approval.
He is Japan's tool He would not dare open
his mouth without the consent Of his masters.
But it is not the mere statement alone that
attracts our interest. Rather, when it is cou-
pied with declaration made by Benigno S.
Acouino, head Of the totalitarian party, the
Kanbapi it is apparent the chief motive is
to build up all possible sentiment in the islands
favorable to the Japanese as the Allied cam
paign draws nearer.
Acsuino, clearly for propaganda purposes,
has issued manifesto saying transcription
is unnecessary because the Japanese are
strong enough to protect the islands"
Russell Brnes, now Associated Press war
editor and formerly AP correspondent In
Tokyo and Manila, has analysed the situation
in a way to show what is behind the turmoil
and unrest which both Laurel and Acquino
are stirring up. He says:
"This is serious verbal backtracking. ia
pans colonial propaganda is based upon the
conception of brother nations voluntarily
joining the Nipponese in 'Asia's battle 1t
the Philippines, officially at war wi the
United States and Great Britain, continued
under direct attack without Filipino partici-
pants, the conception would collapse through
out east Asia. With it would 60 Japan's elabo-
rate plans for vast numerical array OF ma
tive armies.
"Laurers statements plainly were an i'm
mediate necessity. They will be forgotten,
when expedient in the future, just as easily
as yesterdays speech ignored the presidents
earlier promises to defend the fatherland'
1.-The blunt truth is that the Japanese, not
Laurel, will determine the question Of con-
scription When they consider it advanta-
geous, they will drive Filipinos into the battle
areas, with guns if necessary. Thousands of

vivors of Bataan and egidor-pledged mil
itary service to the Japanese as the price
for release from prison camps.
Laurel plainly was attempting to quiet a
deep resentment against his declaration of
war; The unpopularity of that policy coupled
with the long-anticipated return Of American
aerial power, undoubtedly stirred prevalent
anti-Japanese sentiments which might have
erupted into disorders.
1.-THE situation is sufficiently tense so that
the Japanese have failed to continue their
usual stage-managed creation of an armed

tons is pausing for breath

this fight with the ferries fin

aims to settle a personal
squabble with a certain seth d.
vision reconnaissance outfit.
And when that time comes
Sgt. Edward J. fitzpatrick, Of
Breckenridge, Tex, allows as
how he'll be happy as all get
out to strike the first blow for
the infantry.
Here's the way fitzpatrick ex-
plains it:
The infantry boys captured a
German bivouac area the 9TH
er day with 100 Germans plus
a self-propelled gun. In the
middle of the bivouac area
they discovered plenty of chick
ems, rabbits, bread, wine and
"a cases Of whisky. They
promptly sat down to "regroup
forces"
Suddenly they got a call from
the reconnaissance outfit,
which reported Germans mass
ing for a counterattack only
500 yards ahead. They dropped
their food and drink and head
ed up to catch more Germans.
They hunted and hunted. No
Germans. Finally they gave up
and returned to t h e bivouat
area.
There, they hunted and hunt
ed again. No rabbits, no chick
en-, no bread, no wine, no whis
ky. Right now they are hunt
ing again, but as yet, no re-
connaissance outfit.
