the same commander-in-chief has
ordered no more striking, and he
is refused. That should be classed
The same, and carry the same
penalty.
perhaps you think I am too
harsh in my opinion, but you must
consider, this is war, and every

of the military situation, either ON
the home front or the fighting
front. Since both are of the same

IF it were possible for the sol
d,ers to strike for more money,
which I doubt they would do, and
we did, when the slackers at home
saw the shadow of Nazi Germany
coming over our homes, they
would do as we are doing-Work-
ing twenty-four hours day, if
called upon, for bare living.
And, if in that time you mentioned

in peace time it is part of our
Democracy to be able to have the
right to strike for a fair wage.
But in time of war that right
should be forfeited by the civilian
as well as the soldier. Now, if a
man won't work, put him in the
army. That may sound like Hit
Ter, but it is necessary now If
you put him over here, and few
tombs and bullets come his way,
he'll work to dig a hole, and he
won't strike because he is getting
only $1.66 2-3 a day. He won't

exact heavy expenditure OF men.
America is a winning power now,
because it is at last prepared power
and prepared beyond anything
ever achieved before by any nation
in the history of warfare.
What fools the Axis powers were,
as Prime Minister Churchill recently
remarked, to incite the wrath of a
nation so capable Of inexhaustible
and irresistible military production
as the United States has proved
to be.
What blessing it is, for mankind
now and for all generations of men
to come, that a military force so un-
precedented is being employed solely
i f the liberation OF nations and not
for their subsection.
THERE is something inspiring and
i awning in the fact that the nation
which has emerged in this war with
the greatest military establishments
in history-a power that MIGHT be
utilized for aggression and aggran-
elements only ambitious to set
men and nations free and create the
conditions of just peace.
That is what our powerful and
preponderant American forces are
achieving in Franco release OF
people from oppression and tyranny.
That is the purpose and signif-
canoe of the present great thrust at
the south coast of France.
America has a winning cause
there-and Just cause.
Let us believe there has been
Divine hand in the continuing of this.
Let us believe the mighty force
we WELD is something we hold in
trust from the highest of all au-
thority, an instrument for the fulfill
ment of only one ambition - the
instructive and earnest ambition of
all Americans TO have peaceful and
wholesome and productive way of
life, and to be secure in that way of
life.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-08-19

THE Allied forces IN the Medlter-
i ranean theater, largely prepon
derantly AMERICAN forces, have
launched their powerful and success
full thrust against the south coast of
France.
This should be one of the decisive
and perhaps one of the concluding
events of the war In Europe
The Germans have been unable to
resist it strongly, and indeed seem
incapable of prolonged defense in
any theater where the full weight
of American military resources op-
pose them.
This became apparent in Nor
mandy when American forces and
equipment were finally massed IN
sufficient strength to accomplish the
break through into Brittany and the
French interior.
It has been apparent during the
intervals between stalemates IN
Italy, where the Americans have
gone slowly and have foregone all
progress for long periods of time, but
have been able to go where they
pleased when they pleased whenever
they have assembled manpower and
firepower sufficient for the effort.
THE pattern is not only familiar in
i the new French landings, but
vastly improved.
They have been achieved with an
overpowering and overwhelming
striking force, and thus with an
economy of lives and materials.
This great and thrilling Ameri-
can military enterprise, if it proceeds
as we'll as it has begun-and there Is
no reasonable expectation of the
contrary = is therefore most graft
flying
1t seems to demonstrate that we
are now able to have done with DIES
perate adventures that depend upon
surprise for their initial success, and
require tenacious holding of perllous
footholds on vulnerable beaches, and

CATION, at the annual banquet of the
Boys Clubs of America in NeW York
City:
THE Boys Clubs of America and
L the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton have a common objective-to
combat the forces that undermine
and weaken our social structure.
If | can Judge from the signs of
the times, there is a woeful lack of
understanding of youth and it's prob
lens. There is depression of
sympathetic and constructive leader
ship on the part of adult America.
All too frequently we have
adopted a do nothing attitude. We
have been inclined to let things drift
and expect youth to escape the evil
consequences.
No parent or adult can shirk his
God-given duty to his child without
dire consequences.
Last year in this land of ours
there were 1875 serious crimes COM
mitted each day. In the course of
the year, one out of every Il homes
in this land was a victim of this
crime toll.
dor years, the forces Of lawless-
i ness have extended into the mil
lions. To put it in simple terms, ONE
OUT OF EVERY % PERSONS
IN THE UNITED STATES HAS
BEEN ARRESTED FOR AN
OFFENSE SUFFICIENTLY SERI-
GUS TO JUSTIFY BEING FIN
GERPRINTED BY THE POLICE.
The tragedy in these figures is
found in the RISING NUMBER of
youthful offenders.
Since the outbreak of war, arrests
Of boys II years of age have in
creased 80 per cent. Juvenile de-
linquency represents a war casualty
list as grievous as those issued by
the army and navy.
The seriousness of the situation
is in the grave and sinister influence
upon the future Of our home and
family life.
If we would have better
America we must have more effec-
tive prevention Of crime. There is
but one way: The development of
better men and women with
prompting sense of personal re-
sponsibility, of character, fortitude,
and physical well-being.
OUR present plight will not "work
itself out automatically. It is
not solely product of the war,
although the war has aggravated
conditions.
We cannot assume that with the
coming of peace all our troubles will
disappear by magic. We must take
the offensive NOW AND PREPARE
FOR THE FUTURE.
In fulfilling our obligations to
youth, we must see to it that they
receive the proper training by pre-
cept and example.
Juvenile delinquency cannot be
cured by correction. 1t can only be
cured by PREVENTION.
Prevention means giving young
man wholesome things u it'll lOhich to
occupy his time. The lesson stress
ing clear record, good character,
and strong body is North much
more than any other lesson boy can
learn"
EVERY neighborhood should have
IL its OWN SPECIALIZED AC-
INVITES. Youth-serving agencies
cannot be too vast in their opera
tons. The field is UNLIMITED.
Seek it out and the means to carry
on will follow.
Additional facilities could easily
be made available in most COM
munities. In the United States we
have the best schools and educa-
tional institutions in the entire
world. But are thew used to the

Here again, l am convinced that

refusing school facilities for meet

tomorrow is assured.
Ten million youngsters with
proper surroundings and guidance
and understanding will develop into
the generation that can we'll assume
and carry on the tremendous re-

postwar era.
Youth-serving agencies like the
Boys Clubs of America carry the
banner of honor and high CIVIC
RESPONSIBILITY which can meet
this task.
But there will be obstacles and
difficulties to be met and overcome.
Youth is truly our GREATEST
national asset. 1t must be developed
and safeguarded for the carrying on

PACIFIC:
Deadly Enemy

Pocketed by closing American
pincers on all of the South Pacific
fronts, Japanese soldiers were des-
perately fighting to the last, with
U. S. troops literally advancing over
their dead bodies.
Following the heavy enemy loss
on Saipan, no less than 1888 enemy
dead were counted in the fighting
on Guam, with Japanese units still
resisting, while 5000 fell on Tinian,
with scattered bands directing
sniper fire from caves and dugouts.
To the south along the northern
New Guinea coast where a success
sion of U. S. landings between
enemy forces cut them off from one
another, fierce japanese efforts to
hack their way out of the steel trap
were countered by heavy American
resistance.
