On one of the islands. Angaur,

4 DM. HALSEY'S bold raid
"A upon the Bisayan Islands
was directed principally against
the numerous airfields which the
enemy has established there.
Halsey'S task force, with its
carriers, probably remained in
the open sea off the coast of
northern Mindanao or off the
Island of Samar.
Here he had room for fleet
maneuver and for a general
naval engagement, if he should
be attacked.
But, if the Japanese had
naval force in the enclosed
waters of the BisayaS, it did not
choose to come out and chal-
lenge Halsey.
Besides devastating ground
defenses. more than 500 enemy
planes were destroyed, and 173
vessels, Of various types and
tonnage. were sunk or damaged.
Further to the south. by the
almost bloodleSS capture Of

where their resistance was very

In the second place he first

tured island as a "beachhead"
for an attack upon much
greater and more securely held

Again he has accomplished a
decisive result with the very

Women i'm Saloons

Cocktail room Respondent with
plate mirrors and chromium, or an
obscure hole in the wall gin mill.
Clearly, something must be done
to reaWaken our social conscience; to
open our eyes to the degrading ugli-
ness of the situation and its ineUi-
table consequences, and to return to
the usages of dignity and self-respect.
It is obviously wrong for women
to frequent saloons, especially when
alone.
It is wrong for them to drink with
strangers, to engage in lascivious
talk, to make hasty or questionable
connections.
Women know this, and men also
know it, and both despise each other
for it.
Their own sense of self respect
and decency, of course, should keep
women out of saloons
But if appeals to virtue and pro-
priety are not sufficient or effective,
then the community should act to
protect it's mothers and daughters
from their own folly by making
illegal their presence in public
drinking places.
1t is entirely matter of defense
against an enemy as vicious and de-
structive as the one our men are
fighting overseas.
Riotous misconduct and deprav
ity, inurement to obscenity, callous
ness to immortality and immodesty
can as surely destroy generation,
and the children of that generation,
as an epidemic of disease or annihila-
ton in the field.
1t is merely slower and more
painful process.

THE AMERICAN WAY of free
l. enterprise, personal liberty and
government as the executor of the
will of Congress, Or
The EUROPEAN N RUSSIAN
WAY of a state prison industrialism,
the abolition of all personal liberties
and government as the dictator and
goosestep captain of the people, with
Congress and the Supreme Court
mere rubber stamps in the hands of
a dictator?
Which way, America?
That was the essence of the
powerful opening campaign address
on domestic issues of Gov. Bricker
of Ohio, vice presidential candidate
on the Republican ticket, at French
Lick, Ind.
Gov. Bricker is one of the most
aggressive, fortnight and plain
speaking men that have appeared in
our political life since Theodore
Roosevelt.
In fact, there is much about Gov.
Bricker that recalls Teddy" at his
best.
He has the same dislike for
weasel words" that the Greater
Roosevelt had. He breaches the
sturdy American doctrine of the
strenuous life" and, like Theodore
Roosevelt also, he carries "hig
stick for the opponents of those
traditional American doctrines that
have made us the world-dynamo of
free production and the model for
-alEpeoples- of constitutional liberty.
GOV. BRICKER drew up, in effect,
" this indictment Of II years of
power of the Roosevelt administra-
ton:
The New Deal is REACTION
AIRY because it moves toward
ancient types of about government
control of the individual.
2-The President has grossly
abused his constitutional executive
powers.
3-The New Deal has attempted
to abolish the prerogatives of the
. states.
1T has broken the back of
private initiative in business by not
only instituting Russian controls but
by excessive taxation the New Deal
has sought to absorb all private en-
terprise into titanic state monopoly.

ONE need not visit battlefelds or
" devastated regions to see the
raVages of war upon human beings.
One needs only casual glance
into the dim, noisy, crowded saloons
that have sprung thickly in all
American towns and cities to realize
what havoc war has played with
moral fiber, with social decorum.
The preprohibition saloon was
exclusively a masculine center. It
had developed and enforced certain
standards of conduct. With infre-
quent exceptions, it was operated in
a seemly and quiet fashion.
But the modern version is some
thing else entirely.
The majority of customers are
women, many of whom are unes
corted. The talk is excessively free
and shockingly prurient. Young girls
who should be in school, and married
women who should be at home, &C
cept too many drinks from utter
strangers. Every decent restraint
and convention is either relaxed or
hooted down.
The result is obvious.
Criminal netUs and police blotters
are heavily loaded IDith accounts of
shameful braWis, indecent embroi-
nents, jealous reUenges and-Worst
of all-the noLD routine cases OF
abandoned children, broken homes
and juvenile outrages.
THIS is not pretty picture, but
L unfortunately it is an accurate
picture.
1t is picture that strikes the eye
everywhere-whether the locale is

WORLD IN REVIEW

WITHIN the last week Amer
w lean forces struck three
telling blows in the western
Pacific that indicate the liberia
ton of the Philippines is close
at hand. These are the invasion
by the u. S. Marines of the
Palau group of islands. the bonn
bardment by Adm. Halsey's task
force OF the islands of Leyte,
Cebu, Negros and Panay, the
central Bisayan islands Of the
Philippines, and Gen. MacAr-
thurs army landing on Morotai
Island, north of Halmahera.
These attacks illustrate once
more the effective power given
by the combination OF naval
vessels. air power and land
troops.
LNROM the military STANDPOINT,

Spaniards called Los Palaos."
are very important. They have
spacious harbors and they are
naturally adaptable to defense.
This makes their conquest by
the marines hard task, but
once gained they can be held.
Their location gives them ex-
ceptional naval worth. They
cover the whole stretch of sea
between New Guinea and Min

1.-The VIGOROUSLY Make PERMANENTLY PRON
Which Way, America?
By BENJAMIN DE CASSERES

This was the intent of the NRA,
which still rules this administration
as its theological pattern.
5-The New Deal has allied itself
with descriptive and subversive
forces, including the Communist
party and the Russian-bOrn Sidney
Hillman's CIO-PAC, which latter,
Gov. Bricker charges, is trying ito
buy this election"
6-Bureaucratic government by
commissions and "directives" has
taken the place of government by
congressional statute.
GOV. BRICKER has thus brought
VI the most tremendous and
EASILY PROVABLE indictment
against the Roosevelt dynasty that
has ever been levelled at any Ameri-
can administration.
To cure these 11-year-old diseases
Gov. Bricker proposes:
Business must be freed from its
shackles and government must be
taken out of competition with private
industry. RatiOning, price fixing and
all other emergency powers must be
terminated as quickly as possible.
Detailed regulation of farmers,
workers, business men and cOnsum-
ers must be avoided. Abundant pro-
ductiOn in agriculture and industry
must be substituted for the New
Deal program of scarcity.
"War contracts must be promptly
settled and surplus government
plants and property must be equit-
ably disposed Of. Small business
must be encouraged. Taxes must be
reduced. Economy in the federal
government must be cOnscientiOusly
practiced. The integrity of the
American dollar must be protected"
That program is inspirational. 1t
is American. 1t is Jeffersonian. 1t
has the ring of youth.
1t unfOlds future Of prosperity
without limits and return to con-
stitutional liberties under Dewey
and Bricker.
Both Governors Dewey and
Bricker have laid the accent on a
return to INDIVIDUALISTIC DE-
MOCRACY and away from reac-
tionary European feudalism.
The issue is, then - LIBERTY
versus GOOSE STEPPING.
