MAJOR DE SEVERSKY

TNHE British air ministry is
l. sued an encouraging report
a few days ago on the results
attained by Allied air power in
dislocating the enenys rail-
roads and automotive highways
on the European continent.
The significance Of this news
can be better appreciated when
this type of demolition is seen
in relation to the general air
strategy picture.
Concentrated attacks on
roads and rail lines, the air
ministry indicated. have driven
the Germans to divert q large
part of their wartime traffic to
secondary railroads and to
minor highways.
The magnitude of the on
slaught may be judged by the
fact that in 10 days the Allied
air forces made $4,000 sorties
in northwestern Europe specifi-
cally against communications
targets.
This special attention for
railroads and highways is
logical step in the operation Of
genuine air strategy.
The primary objective Of an
air offensive, as even surface
generals seem to have necog-
nized at long last, Is the elimi-
nation OF the opposing air
power.
That means destroying it both

Answer to Question No. 1
Mostly true. Our happy hours
bring us more wisdom than our
hours OF grief and disappoint-
ment. The greatest achieve

I RECALL the excitement, too
many years ago. on the day
Of graduation from high school.
We were stepping out and step
ping high. 1t was back in the
days when the "go-getter" was
popular figure. when the
"self-made man" was a hero to
young boys. We would make
our own world.
/ attended my sons gradu-
alton from collegiate school and
/ wondered about these boys.
Two were leaving for the
navy Immediately; some In
few weeks would be in the
army or the navy.
A few were going to college
for eight or nine months until
they would be drafted.
And they wondered for how
long and what they would do
afterwards.
They were puZZled--and II
the truth were known. perhaps
not a little frightened.
Their way was not clear
ahead.
They, were being graduated
into war.
1t took lots of courage for
these youngsters to stick at
their books and to come
through with high marks and
cum iduds and all that. And
il will take even more courage
for the seventeeners to wait
until they are 18.
THESE boys sang TO the
l. music OF the hymn in
Beethoven's Ninth Symphony
the poem Of one of their class
mates. Clinton G. Heiner, now
17-but written two years ago
- poem OF hope and assur-
ance not in self but in God.
No adult could have ex-
pressed more accurately what
these boys feel so deeply;
Let va all Now come together,
Raise our uoices prdisine Thee.
Thou teho madst tina bronr aud

Who contropst the deep Blue
sea,
Reion'st above the restless Uups

swer to defensive dispersal d
industry.
Factories and assembly plants
may be scattered and camou-
flaged; they may be concealed
underground beyond the reach
of present bombing.
But they are still dependent
for continuity OF effort on a net
work of internal supply lines.
When that network Ii dis
rupted, the whole industrial
mechanism is upset.
THERE are two kinds Of h-
Il dustriar dispersal.
The first consists in duplicat-
ing aircraft factories of COM
pletely self-contained type and
scattering them geographically,
so that the destruction of some
does not mean elimination OF
any particular weapon.
While these plants need q
constant flow of raw stock,
they have been well stocked In
advance and are therefore less
sensitive to the interruption OF
communications.
But in the second kind Of dis
persal the sensitivity is very
great.
In this type the plane or
weapon Is broken down into
many of its component parts,
each of which is produced in q
separate establishment.
The component parts are then

 We have people in America trying to devaluate things more precious than gold--the very germs of prosperity. National prosperity is all-one with nation al income, just like personal prosperity and personal income are the same thing. Now, with 75 per cent of us, personal in- come depends on a job, so na- tional income depends on a lot of jobs. High employment is the goal of all sensible postwar plans. LET WORK THRIVE ...... ...... :.
 As I write this victory in the European theatre of war is ex- pected any day. Most forecast CTS say we may look for it when the frost is on the pumpkin. When tcomes we must guard the safe ty of our seed corn. We must jealously protect those priceless sparks of life from which jobs grow. Energy, education, enter prise. Whoever devaluates these

will be feeding Uncle Sam's seed corn to the pigs
 Pigs can be ear-marked but dangerous relatives are somewhat ] harder to identify. Some are lazy and wish human endeavor was of no use They want work CTS and drones to eat the same fare. Others are greedy and con- coet taxes to grab the fruits of other mems work They love to squander what is not their own. They think in terms of power, reprisal, pillage and terrorism. LOOK TO THE FUTURE
 Bureaucratic braintrusters can torment small employers until they quit business. Power mad plutocrats can choke American enterpris eby forcing government into it. Moon struck Pandoras can handcuff honest workers by pampering pet lounge lizards. But the provident people of the United States want something spared today that will grow to- morrow and prosper in years to come.
 We still have our snart-Alec relatives, able to make short work of valuable things; able to kill years hope in a reckless moment and argue that it's right. It must not happen. We need good seed for our postwar en- ployment crop. Representative constitutional government; Gov ernment by law and not by mans directive; Freedom to own property and operate business in the hope of profit. These are few kernels that must live if freedom lives.
