MELBOURNE, Aus, Dec. II
-(P)-Admiral Sir Bruce FraS-
or, commander of the new Brit
ish Pacific fleet, indicated here
today that Britain's contribution
in the war against the Japanese
in the Pacific would best be con-
fined to sea and air support.
The British admiral, who COM
manded the British fleet units
that sank the German battle
ship Scharnhorst, made his COM
ment in reply to a question in
an interview whether British
soldiers were coming to the Pa
cific.
He said the view in England
was that the best contribution
Britain could make would be a
Navy supported by air, that sup
ply arrangement would become
100 complicated if troops were
sent, 100.
SHORTEN WAR
He expressed the belief that a
concentration of fleets in the
Pacific would have considerable
effect on shortening the war be-
cause Japan is dependent on sea
power and aircraft.
One effect of this marshalling
of sea power in the Pacific
probably will mean that the
japanese Navy would not seek
to engage the Allied warships,
but would retire and retire, the
admiral said.
But if she does retire" Sir
Fraser continued, "he (Japan)
will still be dependent on trans
port and his supply problems
will become more acute. He has

Churches Eye
Equality Move
For Peace Era
Seek To Bring
Pressure For
Brotherhood Idea

WASHINGTON-(A N p - The
executive board Of the Fraternal
Council of Negro churches will
have before it proposed resolu-
ton calling upon participants IN
anv peace conference to support
the principle of equality of races
and freedom of religion. The board
meets in Louisville this week, DR..
William II. Jernagin, director OF
the Washington Bureau, SAID IN
announcing the proposal.
The Fraternal Council should do
everything within its power, DR..
Jernagin said, to bring the neces-
sarv pressure to bear" to present
a bold and uncompromlSlng state
ment on these issues to the peace
conference" He said too that the
board should appoint a special
committee to draft such state
ment, and that support should be
sought from the Federal Council
of Churches of Christ in their
meeting later in this month.
AS far as could be determined the
nearest approach to DR. Jernagin's
proposal was that made by the
American Jewish conference on
Aug. a. the week before the Dunn
barton Oaks conferences opened.
They too asked Tor equality OF
races and peoples, and freedom OF
worship.
Dr. Jernagin pointed out that
during the Paris conference of 1919
the amendment made by the Jap
anese for equality of races was OPP
posed by the United States and
Great Britain, and SO the japanese
in turn fought the resolution Of
fered by President Wilson for free
dom of religious worship. DR.. Jer-
nagin would press for adoption of
both.

'In contemplating the postwar
period, this incident by itself
should be enough to send cold
shoulders up any Socialist spine,
the paper declared. Labor is in
short supply. Even granting the ex-
istence of the inevitable medium
of anti-Negro prejudice, the Negroes
employed are in no way competing
with the white workers. But even
where the element OF competition
does not exist, anti-Negro feeling
has assumed such monstrous pro-
portions that white proletarians re-
fuse to work by the side of black
proletarians.

GIVE THEM THEIR SMOKES


While we have serious cur

we do not want this to happen to
our soldiers, where smokes are
practically a must. Although
we have tried to keep the boys
supplied, it is understood, from
those who have returned from the
front, that the front lines, aren't
getting their cigarets. They say
the soldiers behind the front lines
can buy them. It is probably
natural that if a supply comes in,
those 'on the ground floor will be
the ones to get theirs first. But
they wouldn't take the, cigarets
from their buddies on the front
line if they felt the supplies would
not suffice. There have been
disadvantages in shipping across
the channel and getting supplies
across the country of France over
damaged roads, damaged bridges,
detours. The army is cutting the
cigaret ration for troops in Eng
land from seven to five packs a
week. But where are all of those

AFTER THE WAR

AFTER The WAR
Women employed in war work
are fearful they are not going to
be given any consideration in
postwar positions, at least not
to the extent of men workers.
They have already begun to cam
paign for equal pay and equal
work opportunities after the war.
If the US. Employment Service
is to direct male workers to es-
sential jobs, they feel it follows
that women will be offered only
non-essential ones. Those women
now employed in skilled labor,
feel they should not be taught this
business as reserve during war
and then be showed into the kitch-
en- and over washing machine
when war is done. There is much
written and heatedly spoken on
the topic, with most men feeling
that with a limited number of
positions open, they should have
the preference. They argue that
in resettling workers in peacetime
work, women can't be moved from
place to place as easily as men.
The fact that not all of the women
working today will even desire
work in plants after the war,
helps the problem somewhat. But
that there is real headache here,
there is not a doubt. If many
must assume financial re-
sponsibility for their families after |
the war, who were not forced to
do so before, no one will deny
them their right to positions. They
ask they be judged on merit alone, !

AS we see it the salvation of
China is to industrialize her. If
she is ever going to be an effective
force for herself in the world she
must become modernized and
streamlined. Her standard of iv-
ing must be raised. She must be-
come less provincial. She must
build roads and railroads and air
lines and an economy that will
support them. There is no as
surance that a nation can endure
that persists in looking backward
and worshiping its ancestors. It
must think of ways to make things
better for posterity. There is no
challenge in looking backward to
ancestry-there is a challenge to
looking forward to posterity and
the future.
