U. S. S. Missouri

The launching of a great warShip
like the U. S. S. Missouri, which slid
into the water at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard last Saturday, is always an
occasion for statistical extravaganza.
We are told that the Missouri,
fourth of her class and possibly the
last big battleship to be built in the
United States during this war, will
displace $4,000 tons when commits
stoned. Her 16-inch guns and sup
Elementary armament, her defensive
qualities and her great speed COM
bine to support the claim that the
Missouri is the worlds most power
full fighting ship.
Inside the huge hull is an electric
plant capable of supplying all the
power needs of city the size of
Santa Fe. The ship has 300 miles of
electric cable, 80 miles of piping,
$4,000 valves, 844 doors, etc. Her
blueprints-just the paper alone
weighed ITS tons.
These truly are impressive statis-
tics-cold figures which convey some
idea of the enormous effort involved
in sending one of today's great
battlewagons to sea. But with these
figures, and nothing more, the pic
ture would be incomplete. TO finish
the story we need to know that the
labor of 10000 men and women went
into the Missouri, and that these
workers, even when the building job
was done, were not content to call it
day. In an unprecedented demon
stration, they have pledged 10000
pints of their blood to build a blood
bank for the Missouri and her sister
ships.
In whatever adventures await ~
as she goes out to sweep the seas, the
U. S. S. Missouri will be no imper-
sonal hulk of iron and steel. To the
men who sail her and to the men
who built her the Missouri will be
living thing-very real and very
much alive.

providing for the defense of Paramu-
shiro, which recently has been the tar
get for our long-range aviation, and may
be more heavily attacked whenever it
suits our purpose to do so. At Para
mushiro, as in all these other cases,
the japanese must recognize that it
does them very little good to have an
isolated garrison make a gallant but
unsuccessful defense.
If the garrison is not supported, it
cannot hope to hold the position against
the terrific concentration of power
which we can throw against it; and
that is the real point at ISSUE painful
though it may be to Americans to read
the resulting casualty lists. The Japa-
nese made stout defense of Guadal-
canal, Of New Georgia, of Buna, Of
Lac, Of Salamaua, Of Cape Gloucester, OF
Attu, Of many another speck on the
map-but we have them all, and we
are using them all as bases for attacks
on yet other Japanese positions. This il
process which cannot 60 on forever;
sooner or later we must reach positions
from which we can launch our attacks
with decisive force against the network
of Japanese sea communications on
which all their hopes and plans are
dependent.
Evening star., 1944-02-01

task force operations in the Marshalls
is significant, because it suggests that
the operations may be expected to con-
tinue, and therefore no news is being
given the enemy which he will not get
from his own sources; the use OF carrier
task forces against, such positions as
the japanese hold in the Marshalls may
we'll be the final move before amphibi-
Gus attack involving the use OF landing
forces.
1t brings to bear a terrific concen-
tration of fire power for the final step
in preparation; but the risks involved
in sending carriers and other heavy
ships within easy reach of enemy land
based aircraft are not always justified
except with some very considerable gain
Immediately in prospect. That Is why
the announcement of the task force
operations seems a possible hint of
imminent invasion.
The atolls reported as attacked are
important ones: Maloelap, Wolfe and
Kwajalein. They are not, however,
those closest to our new bases in the
Gilberts. Jaluit and Mill lie between
the three attacked atolls and our Gill
bert positions at Maxim and Tarawa
The selection of Maloelap, Wolfe and
Kwajalein as the initial targets for our
task forces may indicate one of two
things: Either these three atolls are
being "neutralized" so that they can
not afford bases of operations for the
Japanese air force while Jaluit and

At first glance this would appear as
another step toward further democra-
tization OF the Soviet government. In
the last few months the Russians have
abrogated the Third Internationale,
they have replaced the national anthem
which had world revolutionary tinge,
and have given more freedom of re-
ligion than ever before. Moreover, they
have instructed the Communist parties
abroad to disband and in America, for
instance, their members have been ad-
vised to join the old established Demo-
cratic and Republican parties.
Some observers, however, refuse to
take these changes at their. face value
and insist that they are very skillful
political maneuvers.
But 1t Is certain that international
considerations are playing an important
role If the report that Premier Stain
has decided to transform the Soviet
republics into a Commonwealth Of
Eastern Nations proves to be correct.
The Kremlin is now faced with q
difficult problem regarding the eastern
states such as Poland, Bulgaria, Ru-
mania, Yugoslavia and Finland. The
question of the fate of the Baltic states
and at least large part of Poland Is
regarded by the Russian leaders as
settled matter about which neither the
United States nor Britain nor the for
mer governments have anything to say.
The firm stand taken last week BY
the British government in regard to
Poland unquestionably is worrying the

purposes, 1t will create a precedent that
may be followed in the future for peace
time elections. Indeed, one member Of
Congress already has said he believes
the Federal control of such elections
should be extended. Senator George Of
Georgia, on the other hand, has said:
Extending Federal power over elec-
tions would be a dangerous thing to do
in this country. I do not know Of a
better way of creating a dictatorship.
There may be better way, but none
occurs to me immediately"
4 \
Yet the appeal to assure vote to the
men who are fighting for their country
Is very strong-so strong as to convince
some Of the legislators that the end
justifies the means, even though the
means is contrary to the Constitution.
The Republicans in Congress knew
that If they opposed the original Green
Lucas bill for the Federal ballot they
would be accused of trying to deny votes
to the soldiers. That has happened.
They had to decide whether to oppose
that measure, which placed the whole
machinery of soldier voting in the hands
OF the administration. Most of them did
oppose the bill, along with constitu-
-tionally- Democrats. The conse-
quence is that the original bill has been
greatly modified. The Federal ballots
under the new bill are to be sent back
to the States and the State officials will
have the final say as to whether they
are valid and are to be counted. In
some degree, compromise already has
been forced. 1t may be that a still
further compromise will be adopted,
forcing the use OF State ballots wherever
possible.
The vote Of 100000 men in the
armed forces is the big prize over which
both major parties will struggle from

great national demonstration of feeling.
But the Russians based their demon.
stration on the liberation of the Lenin-
grad area. They have rung bells and
fired guns: Russian national sentiment
has been inflamed to as high a level
as ours, but in an organically different
manner.
We have never yet done anything like
that in the entire course of this war,
though great and good victories have
been ours.
We seem to have a fear of coming
over to the alkaline side on morale
or of climbing to the level of morale
which is expressed in afirmations and
jubilations.
Why? Why do we remain in the
emotional basement? The theory seems
to be that it is only our fears which
hold US together: that If we were to
crack smile, we would instantly fall
apart into peacetime attitudes and
wrangl1ng; production would drop; we
must be scared good to be good. If so,
this is kind of judgment upon us for
our own disunity, and the best Of argu-
ments for making another try at in
ternal reconciliation and the rebirth of
community.
We should not need the whipped and
broken bodies of our best beloved to
hold us together 1t is our love and
courage which should go out to sustain
them, in the field. 1t is wrong to have
to ask them not only to die to keep us
safe, but to starve and be beaten to
keep us united.
Evening star., 1944-02-01
I'd Rather Be Right

The point I am creeping toward is
that we will be on the road to morale
when we break into demonstrations that
are greater than this, for causes that
are far less. There is kind of implied
criticism of us in the present incident
taken as a whole, for it says that we
were not deeply stirred until some of
our own people were subjected to tor
ture and mutilation. But it is not
morale merely to resent kick in the
belly or smack in the face; any living
thing will do that.
This is kind of second Pearl Har-
Dor. But the national feeling that truly
goes under the noble name of morale"
does not need successive Pearl Har-
bors to touch it off, or national shock
and sadness to keep it going.
Yet for some reason our officials
always have clung to the glum approach
to morale They have considered that
We need to be frightened into morale,
as when they recently warned us of
100000 coming casualties. They have
also considered that we need to be
shocked into morale, and some of the
rather eerie smugness displayed over
the appalling prisoners-of Bataan story
seems to rest on the hope that this
horrid account will do the morale job
BY a coincidence, at this very mo-
ment. when we are engaged in a great
national demonstration Of feeling be-
cause several thousands of our men
have been brutally mishandled, our
ally. Russia, has also Just put on q
