AMERICAS HOPE
IS IN PROGRESS
BR0UCHT0N SAYS

CORAL GABLES, Fla, March
1LtYLThe hope of America and
of democracy lies in progress and
not in reaction, Governor j. Mel
vile Broughton of North Carolina
said in an address prepared for
delivery before the Century Club
here tonight.
Americas effort in the war sur
nases "ail human experience, he
said. and the complete answer
has been given to the question OF
democratic survival in world
emergency"
The forces of evil have failed
and know it, the North Carollnlan
said.
"They have only the desperate
chance that the Peace Now"
propaganda in America will save
Them where America First
failed" he added.
Although victory is in sight,
Broughton said that complacency
could rob us of the greatest VIC
tory of all time"
TOO much postwar prattllng
can cost precious lives and delay
dangerously the final outcome, .
he said.
ut is safe to say that democ-
racv in America, and indeed IN
the world, has survived its great
est challenge and has not lost or
surrendered its democratic char
acter or characteristics IN the
process. One can go further and
say that the victorious end OF this
war will find democracy through
out the earth and more vital than
ever before.
1.-The hope of America and OF
Democracy lies in progress and
not in reaction. Free enter
prise in America must be restored
and preserved. 1t must be free
to grow but not to monopollze;
free to expand but not to exploit
either labor or the public.
Labor has made its mistakes
and will suffer the inevitable pen
atty for mistakes. But the cause
of labor is not a mistaken cause.
There will be nc place in the
world of tomorrow either for the
labor racketeer or the labor bait
er. Leaders on the side of man.
agement who believe in fair deal
ing, adequate wages and decent
working and living conditions for
the worker must assert their lead
ership and be prepared to deal
in terms of mutual respect and
fairness with labor Invested OF
selfish and corrupt leadership.
"A similar accord as respecting
racial and minority groups is es-
sential if deadly reaction is to be
avoided. America is big enough to
give every race and minority
group a fair and equal chance for
happiness and prosperity if we Oh
ly be big enough to believe that
this is so.

The War
BY KIRKE L.. SIMPSON
Associated Press War Analyst

There was warrant for the exul.
tant note in General Macarthur S
communique announcing the Ad.
miralty islands landings to snap
shut his long-pallned Bismarck
archipelago trap on scores of thou
sands of isolated japanese troops.
AS he stepped ashore to survey
almost unchanged Momote air
field on Los Negros, Macarthur
could reflect that he was on his
way back to the Philippines. He
has a solemn pledge to return.
The southeastern tip of Minda-
mao lay only 1900 miles to the
Northwest.
The Bismarck Sea southern post
ern gate to the Philippines and the
South China Sea, is definitely
broken through, unhinging the
whole southern flank of the Japa-
nese Pacific defense front. Critical
enemy sea communication lanes
far to the west in the Celebes Sea,
even in the Sulv archipelago that
separates the Philippines and Bor-
neo, were in range of U. S. bomb
ers and subm arines.
Implicit in every move against
Japan is the primary strategic
concept that shipping is the Nip
ponese Achilles heel. Cargo ships
are still more vital to them than
the lives of their troops. And a
shipping paralysis already is creep
ing over her merchant fleet.
With the Bismarck Archipelago
mopped up-as it will be-Ameri-
can bombers and submarines are
drawing dangerously close to ene-
my life lines in the South China
Sea itself. The whole japanese war
effort is dependent upon the two
day movement of shipping up and
down that sea. There is evidence
that American air power in China
is being expanded to raid that
shipping. To match it from the
east, American advance bases for
Oombers and submarines are be-
ing pushed ahead in the Southwest
and Central Pacif:c.
Strike a 1900 mile radius half
circle from the Acknowledgement
that is short cruising range for
submarines and it covers the
whole sea span from north of the
Marianas, along the east coast of
Mindanao and down to the south
shore of the Celebes Sea. Enemy
surface craft nowhere in that wide
sweep can move except in deadly
danger from American planes and
submarines based in the Admiral
ties.
The toll already taken of Japa-
nese merchant shipping has been
heavy. 1t is estimated at no much
less than half the total enemy pre-
war tonnage. American submarines
have raided into Japan's own
home waters at extreme long
range to bring down their prey.
With neWly-Won bases, submarine
ravages must rise Their number
is increasing, the distance to their
targets is going down.
In addition there is every indi-
cation of impending British Sea &C
ton in the area of the Bay of Ben
gal. The day when Japan must
resort to conveys in the China Sea
itself to guard her troops carriers
and cargo ships, further weaken
ing her fleet strength, may not be
far distant.
Macarthur himself pointed out
that the closing of the Bismarck
trap opened the way back to the
Philippines. It also serves to link
his air-sea-ground forces arm in
arm with Admiral Nimitz' ponder
GUS fleet and auxiliaries in the Cen
trail Pacific for intimately coordi-
mated future action.
Both commanders have tested
