Russians-as the Russians have been
demanding.
Polish circles here reflect no anger
at Prime Minister Churchill for his ap-
parent backing Of Russian attitudes on
Poland. These circles realize that Mr..
Churchill, during negotiations between
London and Moscow on the Polish
question, tried to push q strong and
aggressive line against the Russian
demands. In these diplomatic ex-
changes, many Poles feel the Prime
Minister did his level best as advocate
for the Polish government. Finding
Russian attitudes quite unyielding. Mr..
Churchill resigned himself to a belief
that reconciliation between the Mos
COW government and the Polish gov
ernment in exile was impossible.
1t is understood that the Moscow
government has informed both London
and Washington that there can be no
question Of q return to recognition Of
the Polish government In London and
that from now on and during the re-
occupation Of Polish territory taken
from the Germans, Moscow will regard
the Union OF Polish Patriots, headed
by the Polish. Communist, Wanda
Wasilewska, as the legitimate govern
ment Of Poland.
In this attitude, the Poles have shown
not an intransigent, @uncompromising
and doctrinaire spirit, as often remarked
here. but rather sensible farseeing
perspective based on the realities Of the
Polish state. Far instance, the sugges-
ton that the Poles absorb large num-

1t was not long ago that men over
40 had hard shedding on the job front.
Employers smiled grinly while shaking
their heads when an leverage destroyer"
applied for work. 1t was the age OF

the middle-aged men organized to make
their pleas for jobs heard in the places
where payroll checks were signed
Alas, what change has come over
the land. Today the same employers,
who turned away when over-4O appli-
cants approached, are seeking for help

SO bring about the success which Gen.

were stopped at Casino, but the
story Is not told in that realistic COM
ment. The American people like to
know why we were stopped and whether
it was the quality or training of the
troops selected for Cassino-they were
derived from various nationalities-or
whether the coordination of air and
ground forces was not all that could be
desired or whether we were just con-
fronted with the luck Of weather and
battle conditions
n
The most persuasive explanation has
come from the Stars and Stripes, the
soldiers newspaper abroad. It told of
the original plan to wipe out the town
by air and Of the intention to send an
armored force around from one side
of the town, while tanks and infantry
were to clear another salient. The
newspaper says:
"The plan collapsed when the New
Zealanders ran into unexpectedly stiff

opposition inside the town and tor
rental rains stalled an Indian Gurkha
attack on Monastery Hill"
The Nazis, 1t further reported, "came
up full of fight" and beat Of the first
rush Of the New Zealanders Just as it
appeared that the town was to be won.
Meanwhile, the Indian troopers "bogged
down in the slippery mud and their
attack lost momentum"
Reading between the lines of that
explanation, one sees the difficulties en-
tailed in using different nationalities
of troops in q single action In a small
area and perhaps 1t recalls the in
sistent position Of Gen. Pershing in the
last war, when he refused to let Amer
lean troops be brigaded with the French
and demanded that our soldiers be
kept In separate army. 1t may well
be asked whether an aIl-American or

Much has been made in the press.
too, of the fact that Casino was bonn
barded heavily from the air and Gen.
Eaker Of our air command rushed exub-
erantly to the microphone to proclaim
that the town had been wiped out. 1t
is natural perhaps for each branch of
the service to be overenthusiastic about
its own achievements. In this case, on
the other hand, there was possibly no
proper military exploitation of the ad-
vantages gained by the air attack.
Synchronization of air and ground
power is not novel task for an army
nowadays. Tactical warfare, as this is
characterized, has been worked out sue
cessfully by our own forces as well as
by our Allies on many fronts. It pre-
sents problems of limitation of wealth
and daylight, to be sure. but our al,

summarizes its authoritative views on

1t is learned that in the note the
Polish government made it quite clear
that Poland not only could not cede
any portions of prewar Poland to Rus
sia, but also was strongly resistant to
Russian suggestions that it take COM
pensation for any cessions by acquir-
ing parts of East Prussia.

Letters to The Star
Calls for War-Peace Program
In Name of American People.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The seeming reluctance Of the Gov
ernment to keep the American people
adequately informed as to the war, post
war aims and commitments may pro-
long the conflict by impairing public
morale.
Certainly, the tremendous interest of
the people in these matters cannot be
brushed aside. 1t is real, personal and
OF paramount Importance.
During the First World War the great
majority of the people at home and the
soldiers abroad truly believed that they
were fighting war to end wars-to
make the world safe for democracy. At
least, they felt sure that the scope of
future wars would be reduced and the
periods between their occurrence ex-
tended.
Disillusioned by the shattering of
those fond hopes for which they sacri-
feed in blood and money, they now are
participants in a second foreign conflict
Of unparalleled magnitude. Yet. the
background scenery and the props all
are too familiar. The same slogans and
platitudes are epeated-slightly camou-
fiaged but entirely inadequate to satisfy
people once burned and now firewise.
Is it surprising, then, that mistrust and
fear as to the future haunt them? viii
this war postpone for longer time the
next one? Will the same wrangling and
indecision characterize the second peace
conference? Will the same age-oId
Jealousies and hatreds abound?
The longer these and similar oues-
tlons remain only unsatisfactory an
sWered, the longer a clear-cut pro-
nouncement on these points is DELAYED
the more the Axis will prolonp the date
OF It's ultimate surrender. Meanwhile
an atmosphere will be created still more
receptive to peace on any basis to end
a seemingly indecisive struggle.
The American people want a war
and-peace program by their Govern
ment to which they may all whole
heartedly subscribe policy that once
more assures American leadership

ana Justice. and not alone on military
might and expediency; a policy SO clear
ana nrm IN It's expressed determination
TO adhere to these principles that it will
pe an undying inspiration at home and

Il such a policy were conceived and

more sacrifice. Give the American peo-
pie a rallytng point. Let them know
where they are headed. If in their
Keen sense OF justice and fair play they
support that policy in principle, then
by their cooperation in every line of
service the war will be shortened and
longer-lasting peace restored to a

Onward in the Pacific

Our latest 'triphibian' offensive
in the Pacific, high lighted by at
tacks on the Palaus but involving
simultaneous strokes at several Jap
anese strongholds at widely sepa-
rated points, conforms to a strategic
pattern repeatedly employed during
recent months. This consists of a
main attack on a specific objective
coinciding with concurrent blows at
other targets so as to prevent CO.
ordinated defense by the enemy.
Let us see how this formula ap-
plies to the current operation. The
primary objective is the Palaus the
WesternmoSt cluster of islands in
the extensive archipelago known as
the CarolineS. The Palaus lie fully
1000 miles west of Truk, the main
japanese base in the Carolines,
which itself was recently badly bat
tered by a similar attack in force.
Truk is being battered again, this
time in part by land-based Army
bombers, probably flying from newly
established airfields on the Ad-
miralty Islands, which are General
MacArthur's latest conquest in the
Southwestern Pacific campaign. At
the same time, other atolls in the
Carolines lying between Truk and
the Palaus were visited by carrier
based Navy bombers. The result is
that no Japanese air strength could
be concentrated for the defense of
the Palaus. because all bases within
Tying range were temporarily inn
mobilized. This negatives the basic
principle of japanese strategy in
the Pacific, which was predicated
upon quick support of any one point
under attack. The result is that
the intricate island network built
up by the japanese high command
athwart the Central Pacific, instead
OF being a tough organic unit, ca
pable OF mutual defense in all it's
parts, Is falling to pieces like rope
OF sand, the component units being
either quickly overwhelmed by di-
rect assault or battered and then by
passed, to wither away in isolation
or fall an easy prey to eventual cap
ture when worn down by privation.
1t is clear that almost none of
these hundreds of islands are in
t1ividually large enough to permit
a garrison capable of long resisting
an assault by our combined sea, air
and land power. It is equally OBJ
vious that the vast armada which
carries out these operations cannot
be seriously inpeded by the Jap
anese air arm. The one possible way
OF stopping the process of destruc-
ton that is tearing Japan's mid
Pacific empire to shreds would be
for the main japanese battle fleet
to confront ours in a decisive show
down fight. But that is precisely
what the Japanese admiralty
avoids, because the risk is too great
and the consequences of major
defeat would doom not merely the
Pacific outposts but the whole Jap
anese colonial empire and even the
homeland itself. Thus the japanese
high command wriggles on the
horns of dilemma that appears
insoluble. Meanwhile, it should be
noted that the Palaus lie less than
500 miles from the Philippines, and
more than 1000 miles west of our
main base at Pearl Harbor We are
crossing the vast Pacific Ocean with
giant strides. And our pace seems
to be a cumulative one.

Representative Dies -Winchell
talk compels the following observations:
l. Although Mr.. Dies said he was de-
scrlbing Mr.. Winchell's Smear tech
nique. he actually described his own.
The use OF association and innuendo has
become familiar device of the Texas
Congressman, and his exposition of
those methods was an excellent demon
stration of his own characteristic meth
DDS. Apparently, he knows!
2. An Illustration of the Dies tech
nique: The method adopted in speak
ing about alleged superiors. Who are
they? The Congressman wouldn't say.
But the implication is there. He con-
demnS the innuendo, and in the same
talk makes ample use of it.
3. Mr.. Dies is vehement in his de-
nunciation of congressional criticism
such as Mr.. Winchelrs. Yet he and
some of his colleagues have not hesi-
tated to employ antiadministratio
invectives. Is Congress to be immune
while the Executive is freely panned?
Another example of the Texans incon-
sistency.
4. He had Is minutes to explain
what's wrong with Mr.. Winchell. All
he said was that the commentator is
critical Of Congress. Surely he takes no
issue with Mr.. Winchells expose of
Nazi agents. At least, hope not. Then
what is all the shouting for? Mr.. Dies
didn't say.
5. 1t seems to me that had Mr.. Dies
exhibited as much energy in battling
real un-Americans as he does in bat
Ting Mr. Winchell, he would have been
much more popular with the American
people. ELEANOR JOAN PLATT.
