landia. across New Guinea on
the Arafura'Sea, is a settlement
called Merauke. This settle
ment and the area that sur
rounds il never fell into the
hands of the Japanese when
their avalanche poured over
Indonesia.
1t is the one small bit Of
Netherland Indies which the
Japanese failed to capture. The
Dutch have made IL the pro-
Wsional capital Of their East
Indian empire.
WERAUKE is only about 80
w miles northwest of the exc
treme northern point of AUS
tralia.
Australian soldiers joined
the Dutch in the defense Of
Merauke. and with them have
now pushed 100 miles north
west up the Guinea coast, and
have established themselves on
the Eilanden River.
This coastal area is covered
with mangrove swamps and
heavy jungle, and crocodiles in
fest the streams.
Nevertheless the Dutch and
Australians, in the course of the
past year, have built a jetty
and defense work, piped in
fresh water, and installed a
drainage system.
They have constructed roads
and have even laid small rail-
way.
The japanese who hold the
areas north and west of the
Eilanden River, and who are re-
ported to be developing oil and
iron fields, have frequently at
tackled this allied position with
out being able to overcome il.
Here on New Guinea, as at
Port Moresby, and as was
notably the case in New Gale
donia and the Fiji Islands, the
japanese did not push far
enough to complete their con-
quest.
They failed to use the adj
vantage of the super ior
strength which, a year ago,
they had.

peace. we want TO cohere with
our Allies, Great Britain, and
II hope Russia and China; we
shall cooperate in some form Of
cooperation; but we shall be
hardheadedly realistic and ma
tionalistic.
And nobody can quarrel with
these statements Of intention
which were more legibly de-
Scribed at Mackinac in a reso-
luton than in either of the
recent speeches.
The point Of the matter is
that neither Republican nor
Democratic candidates can for
sure at this moment chart a
course. They must wait on Sta
Inns Foundations in the east Of
Europe and possibly in the
Mediterranean and Britain's in
Asia. Two empires are expand
inc and the United States has
lost the initiative in interna-
tional relations.

Letters From
Times Soldiers

climbed above the clouds into
the clear to see the sun lust
rising.
We had visions Of a rough
mission with plenty of flax and
fighters. which has happened
quite frequently in the target
area we were assigned TO.
1t was clear as we passed the
enemy post going in, but we
could see that il was solid un-
dercaSt beyond this point. Our
PAY escort picked us up and
we proceeded on. We only saw
flax AT one time on the way into
the target and this was very in
accurate. We figured the anti
aircraft batteries were silent so
that we wouldn't be able to
pin point ourselves into the
target.
Our first escort had left us
and P-51S were escorting us
now. Just before we dropped
our bombs ! saw a number of
fighters coming toward us and
our escort turned 10 meet them.
Figured we were in for a big
fight, but they didn't bother us
so they must have been our
own.
We dropped our bombs and
then / could see the fax track
ing us. but il was behind and
ineffective. The next outfit be-
hind were running into quite
bit.
Nothing eventful on the way
home. / saw our fighters down
on top of the clouds waiting for
any enemy fighters that might
break through.
l just heard the radio report
that no bombers or fighters were
lost.

that Gen. Macarthur and Adm.
Nimitz already are preparing
the next forward lunge toward

The next point of attack

Geelvink Bay on the extreme
nor western end Of New
Guinea.
Manokwari is 470 miles be-
yond Hollandia not too distant

II is this that led me earlier

WINSTON CHURCHILL, in
w discusstn & the Atlantic
Charter. said he had made res
eryations 10 that document al
though the American people
were not so notified at the time.
We though that there was
perfect cohesion between Roose-
Welt and Churchill. between the
United States and Great Brit
ain. But Churchill had made
reservation which is mixing
sand in the glue OF cohesion.
Churchill said;
". L asked for the insertion
Of the following words In the
Atlantic Charter, which can be
read In that document: With
due respect for their existing
obligations These are limiting
words and they were inserted
for the express purpose Of re-
tanning to this House and TO
the dominions the fullest pos
sibIe rights and liberties over

quarrel with Churchill over
Britain first, which is his BUSH
ness. and the British may well
thank God that they have at
the helm a leader who thinks Of
his own country and his own
people above all else.
MY PURPOSE is to point out
WI that all this cohesion re-
quires looking into to make sure
that il is not the horse and
rabbit sausage variety - one
horse to one rabbit.
The fact remains that the
government of the Uni e d
States did not choose TO inform
the American people that any
limitation had been set to the
cornucopia of goodwill over
flowing in the Atlantic Charter.
And IL is no wonder that the
charter should be a dead and
forgotten document with most,
and subject for a requiem by
Churchill as the war has
reached that stage when Stain
needs 10 partition Poland and
the future Of India and Saudi
Arabia are of greater impor-
atnce than the fate of Belgium
and Holland or the future gov
eminent of France. In a word,
tempus fugits and the politi-
clans change their tune.
And that may also explain
why when il came to telling the
United States off in the House
of Commons. a radical Social
ist turned nationalist, Emanuel
Shinwell. did the speechmaking
and said where we could go 10
and all that TO the plaudits Of
the multitude. Anglo-American
war relations are reaching that
political stage which Churchill

"At exactly 2113 on Wednesday evening, IA June 1914, a train pulled into the railroad station at Windsor Locks, Connecticut. It was a typical N.Y.N.H.&H. train mak- ing it's regular stop, but as it pull ed out of the station for points south it carried with it the f1utter- ing hearts of many young miss, for aboard it was Pfc. Gerald Young, Bradley Fields WAC PIN UP BOY.
 In many a WAC heart there is sorrow today for Pfc. Young's pleasant disposition, personality and presence will be missed. It was not more than a week ago that Bradley women in uniform went to the polls to overwhelmingly name this G.I. as their choice for PIN UP honors. And now he's gone!
 Pfc. Young's departure was hur- ried. Orders suddenly came through assigning him to gunnery school in the South, orders he had long awaited. The audiences of his de- parture gave him no time to bid adieu to his many friends, both WAC and civilian, at this Base. However, an alert BEAM reporter Gin the vicinity of local publ spotted Jerry as he waited at the station and obtained the following farewell address from the popular soldier. Jerry said in part: "I'm sorry to be going but not sorry for where I'm going because where Pm going is where I asked to go. I appreciated the great honor be- slowed on me by the Wacs at Bradley and will miss their cheery "Hellos" and pleasant dispositions; however, duty has called and I am venting. I trust the Wacs will name another to succeed me and upon him I bestow my blessing. Adieu, my friends, and, in parting, always remember the words of that famous American, Umbriago, who

 With these words upon his lips, Jerry leaped hurriedly for the rear platform of the train as it chugged unhappily out of the station. The last picture we had of our friend was as he stood waving a khaki handkerchief at us before glancing at the blonde who was preparing to take the seat next to him. We know we speak for all at Bradley when we wish Jerry luck, happiness success in his new mission and pat on the back for being darn good sport.
