How to achieve national unity is
the concern of those Americans
working for better understanding
among our racial and cultural
groups. American Counterpart" 4"
by Alexander Alland, a Russian
American photographer, provides an
accurate and sympathetic visual i'm
preston Of the similarities and dif-
ferences in our many races.
Carey McWilhams, in Brothers
Under the Skin" tells how America
has behaved toward her colored
peoples-Indians. Chinese, Mexi-
cans, japanese, Negroes and others
and how this behavior has pro-
vided our enemies with potent
weapon against us. "Our Racial
and National Minorities," edited by
Francis Brown and Joseph Roucek,
is n series of monographs treating
the problem from the sociological
viewpoint. Alain Locke and Bern
hard Stern, in when Peoples
Meet" have selected from the writ
ings Of historians, sociologists, psy-
biologists and anthropologists au-
thoritative descriptions of cultural
and racial contacts through the
centuries.
! Educating youth to overcome in
tolerance is an important need. In
1912, the National Education Asso-
citation published Americans ALL"
volume Of short reports from
teachers on successful programs de-
signed to eliminate friction and
stimulate appreciation of different
cultures. "Intercultural Education
in American Schools" by William
Vickery and Stewart Cole, proposes
practical means Of improving re-
ligious and racial relations in the
public schools. The book has an
excellent and inclusive photography.
The Public Library, Eighth and X
streets NV, and its branches sug-
gest these books and pamphlets to
the reader who agrees with Pearl
Buck that only where differences
can exist without persecution can
there b rsal trSsdom."

Shanghai, the enemy is intrenched
on that low shore only at a few
strongpoints like Annoy and Foo
chow.
Nimitz's drive would be the same
sort of divide-and-conquer maneu-
yer which characterized Hitler's
and also his warfare, as,
for example, the push through
France from Sedan to Abbeville.
The American fleet would cut Japan
proper from her supplies in the
Netherlands Indies, and we could
dispose Of one-half and then the
other at our leisure.
Beyond Truk in the Carolines he
may run into the main enemy fleet,
of which we have heard so much
and seen so little The japanese
may feel that If they tackle Nimitz
before he is reinforced by British
seapoWer, they can win On the
other hand, they are brutally real
istic; they expend men rather than
men o war. It's rifle fire they use,
c.
1t may be rifles they'll use to try to
bar us from China, and they may
keep pulling their feet back until
the ultimate battle off the shores Of
Japan itself.
Their fleet is built for distance,
as is ours, and could force a battle
In the general area OF Taiwan. Still
we'll would guard Nimitz from shore
based planes. But the distances are
enormous, approximately as follows
Taiwan to Nagasaki. or the nearby
seabase at Sasebo, IT'S miles Ma
nila to NagasakL 1850; Borneo to
Nagasaki, 1000.
The tough stretch for Nimitz
would be the l,800-mile Jump from
the Marianas on. Macarthur might
be ready at that stage of the game
however, to attack in the Philippines

timists had hoped. This powerful
Caroline Islands base was first re-
connoitered by Australian flyers last
December, and the recent assault
followed daring visit by a pair of
Marine Liberators on February 4.
They reported military, naval and
aircraft installations of great ex-
tent. corroborating the general
suspicion that Japan had done a
thorough job Of violating the 1919
Versailles mandate which forbade
fortification of this Mid Pacific is

Would Divide Enemy.
A preliminary task would be to
supply Stilwell. Moves already made
include the construction OF monster
cargo planes that can cross the
Himalayas, and work on the Ledo
road through the almost impossible
mountains of Northern Burma.
Nimitz's plan seems most auda-
cious and his telling of 1t most sur
prising. OF course, he may be say
ing one thing and plotting another
the japanese can worry about
that. But If he means what he
says, he contemplates a tremendous
thrust with an invincible naval force
slightly west of northwest straight
out from the Marshalls. He would
pass among the Carolines. Marianas
and Philippines, scooping them up
or letting them lie, neutralized, on
his flanks as he thought best: the
development of the powerful assault
on Truk may indicate his intentions.
The equatorial current would speed
him almost directly to his objective

Count on Two Days

By Mdnnir Walker.

Mead
Oblivious Of the current tribula-
tions of the world is this imaginative
novel Of mystery and comedy by a
Washington author.
The story revoives around Agatha
Dowell, who runs her venerable Bos-
ton household with firm and capa-
bic hand. When the house is in
vaded for two days by an unasso-
clated group of persons. each with
different fixed objective, she takes
the situation in hand. and, however
unethical her methods, brings it ia
a satisfactory conclusion. The fact
that some of the visitors not only
are unlimited, but are hiding in the
upper regions of the house without
their hostess knowledge. allows the
author a wide field for freak Incl
dent Besides the slightly eccentric
family there are counterfeiter, a
detective, a glamour girl and
colleague of Mrs. Dowell's son who
must remain unclothed as club
initiation and takes refuge upstairs.
A feature Of the book is the sue
cessful reproduction by the author
of the type of inane conversation
often affected by highly learned per-
sons bent on displaying a blase OUT
look toward life.

Admiral Chester w. Nimitz, COM
mander in chief of the Pacific area
admitting that Japan cannot be
defeated by sea alone" says we will
get troops into China and cut oil
the enemy to the south. This i'm
plies mighty drive straight across
the ocean to put ashore an army
which can come to grips with the
main weight of enemy power on
land.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur, COM
mander in chief in the Southwest
Pacific, deprecating island-hopping
calls for a slugging match with the
japanese soldier.
1t. Gen. Joseph w. Stilwell, chief
of staff of Allied armies in China
will march down to the Southeast
China shore to meet his American
friends, he declares, as soon as he
receives a vast increase in supplies
The japanese, consequently can
be studying what's coming to them
in the words of the Americans who
will dish 1t out.
Distances Tremendous.
1t is grand strategic concept on
a scale so immense that half of the
battle in this half-of the world
struggle will be logistics. BY COM
parison, Hitler, who never got more
than 1900 miles from his border. is
waging piker's war. The Mar
shalls are about 2,400 miles from
Hawaii. which is about the same
distance from California, and the
Chinese mainland is about 5000
miles beyond the Marshalls: add to
that the fact that Stilwill must
move supplies from a Calcutta base
still 1000 miles away The yellow
man may be little but he's long
way off and spread over extraordi-
nary distances. We must travel
days to reach a battlefield where
the great issue may be decided in
minutes.
The statements of these three
leaders suggest that we are aban-
doning Mahan and Nelson. In other
words, there is no particular virtue
in sea victory alone. Our enemy,s
strength is on the land, and that S
where we must get at him. AS a
matter of fact, this is the japanese
theory. They use their fleet as a
sort of ferry service. They agree
with Hitler, who came close to
smashing the sea power of Great
Britain by using his land power to
overrun Europe.
Nimitz's attack on Truk is the
first step in the proposed drive out
of the Marshalls-G Gilberts area. 1t

day, Dordn)
This is the story of the two St
Theresas-the 10th century Span
lard of Avila and the 18th century
Frenchwoman of Lisieux. The two
are treated separately; each is made
the subject of a long essay. 1t is
plain, however. that Miss West feels
that they make a fascinating con-
trast. The Spanish Teresa, imperi-
Gus, humorous, intellectual, shrewd
and worldly wise, is the "eagle" of
her title. and the French Therese
meek. self-ef1acing and somewhat
sentimental, is the dove"
1t is plain also that the eagle has
made the greater appeal to Miss
West. She writes of Teresa with
perceptible delight. The vigor, the
common sense and the wit of the
great mystic arouse her to enthu-
siasm. On the other hand. she OBJ
viously finds Therese, by contrast. a
little dull. Her effort in each case.
however, has been to do a profile"
which will present the history of
the subjects progress to sainthood
in a detached manner. She has
made thoroughly interesting work
and one we'll worth reading.

Russia last week and climactic events
are in the making with three
fourths of invaded Russia now freed
of the enemy
Following swiftly after the loss
OF Nikopol, which wrenched from
Hitler's grasp the center of Russia S
manganese production, Krivoi Rog
in the middle of the Ukrainian iron
area fell before the advancing Rus
slams and the Nazis are now in full
retreat toward the Bug River, last
natural barrier. and not a very
formidable one. between the present
front and the Dniester. which marks
the Besserabian border. Krivoi Rog
fell on Tuesday.
Another serious blow followed on
Thursday when the important rail-
road center of VitebSk was aban-
doned by the NaZis as a result Of
Russian capture Of Dno and Roga-
chev.
The present Russian drive in
White Russia is believed aimed at
Minsk, the former capital, which
now is only 100 miles away. Within
striking distance are two important
railroad centers, Polotsk, near the
southeastern border of Latvia, and
Orsha, on the main rail line leading
to Minsk.
The two-pronged Russian drive
which captured Dno and Rogachev
placed the spearpoint of the upper
prong only so miles east of Pskov,
which commands the approaches to
Estonia below the lower end of Lake
Peipus. The lower prong is now about
$50 miles south of Vitebsk. All Ger
man troops now in the Battles and
north of the Pripet Marshes face
the danger of entrapment unless
they fall backward, for the Reds are
carrying on with new fury and are
making rapid progress toward their
objectives.
The closer the Reds come to COM
plete domination of Estonia, the
more precarious becomes the posi-
ton of Finland, which is now seek
ing acceptable terms under which
that tiny nation can withdraw from
the war. Russia has offered to send
in troops to carry out one of the
demands, the internment of the
Nazis now in Finland.
Heavy Fighting in Italy.
Fighting on the italian front has
been ferocious for week but so
far the outnumbered Allied troops
have stood fast against vicious
enemy attacks which have reached
the proportions of supreme effort
to dislodge the 5th Army units from
the Anzio-Nettuno beachhead.
Heavy artillery duels continued
throughout the week and Allied air.
craft carried on hundreds of sorties
against enemy positions.
Marshal Kesselring, disregarding
the heavy casualties among his
troops, kept pouring in more and
more until toward the end of the
week there were 10 divisions, about
10000 men If the divisions are at
full strength, opposing the 5th
Army's units now in the beachhead.
Despite the power Of the opposi-
ton, the Allied troops have made
some improvement in their positions.
Prime Minister Churchill in 4
speech to the House of Commons
during which he warned against too
great expectations that the war in
Europe will be won this year, re-
vealed that the Nazis now have
100000 men in Italy. Lack of prog
ress of the Allied forces in Southern
Italy cannot discount the fact that
these half million Nazis are lost to
Germany, which finds their absence
from Russia probably the decisive
factor In the reverses which are now
gaining In Importance and frs-
Quency.
