DISCHARGE BUTTONS

With more than million men now honorably discharged from the Army for wounds, health or age the question of honorable discharge buttons becomes more and more important.
 It took the Army some time to design discharge button, but now that it is designed, men and off cers have hard time getting it. unbroken. The buttons are made of plastic and when mailed to vet erans, usually arrive in broker pieces. %
 One discharged Air Forces cap tain got his discharge button all right in an envelope from Majoi Jesse c. Hicks, assistant quarter master, Hill Field, Ogden, Utah But there was no packing around it and it was in several pieces When he wrote back for new but ton, Major Hicks replied:
 There are no provisions for re- placing broken buttons. Therefore we are unable to comply with your request"

La Prensu's Birthday

SeVenty-flve years ago this week
a group of liberal-minded aristo-
Gratis, headed by the late DR.. Jose C.
Paz, founded in Buenos Aires what
was to become one of the greatest
forces for enlightenment and de-
mocracy in Latin America, the news
paper La Prensa.
From humble beginnings in q
small printing shop, La Prensa grew
to become one of the first five or
six ranking newspapers of the world.
Complete fairness in the presenta-
ton Of the news, vigorously DEM
ocratic editorial policy, a record of
public service to the poor and the
integrity of the Paz family, in which
the newspaper has remained since
its founding, in refusing all politi-
cal offices, combined to give it
unique place in the confidence of
Latin Americans generally, as well
as Argentinians.
In normal times La Prensa prints
what is probably the largest volume
OF foreign news Of any journal in
the world, usually six or eight pages
daily. In 1919 it created a sensation
in the newspaper world by having
its correspondent in Paris cable the
full text of the voluminous Versailles
treaty. The policy of the elder Paz,
as we'll as that of his son and sue
cessor, DR.. Ezequiel P. Paz, always
has been to give the people of Latin
America a complete, unbiased &C
count Of the day In world history.
In view of La Prensas history,
there is something sardonic in the
fact that 1t celebrated its seventy
fifth birthday anniversary with its
editorial voice muffled by censorship,
the first under which it has been
smothered during the three-quarters
OF a century of its life.
Shortly after the "colonels clique"
seized power last winter. La Prensa
dared to criticize the government.
It's plant was shut down completely
for five days. Its great neighbor,
La Nacion, suffered a worse indig-
nifty, being forced to print a 'front.'
page retraction of an editorial dis
pleasing to the colonels and to
dismiss its author. Today vigilant
censorS with blue pencils sit in the
Offices of both.
Despite censorship, however La
Prensa exercises a sort of negative
independence today by ignoring in
its editorial columns all issues
whereon 1t cannot speak honestly.
Its very silence is significant to
Latin Americans who are familiar
with it's pages.

Our Rules for the Reich

Codifled regulations for German
territory under Allied occupation
have been publicly announced by
Brig. Gen. Julius c. Holmes, deputy
assistant chief of staff for military
government. Both in scope and in
spirit, they constitute probably the
sternest and most drastic code for
the governance of conquered peo-
pie in modern times It should, of
course, be understood that this is
wartime law, designed specifically
for the period of active hostilities.
The regulation of postwar Germany
will be elaborated later on, presum-
ably as a joint decision of the West
ern Powers and Russia. The present
wartime code applies only to terri
tory occupied by the Allied armies,
leaving to Soviet Russia the military
regulation of German territory over
run by its forces.
The outstanding feature of the
Allied code is the utter expunging of
the Nazi state and all it's works. The
sovereignty of Germany ceases to
exist and the supreme power is
vested in General Eisenhower as
head of the Allied armies. Not only
are Nazi organs and institutions
summarily abolished, ordinary Ger
man law is likewise suspended, and
the population OF the occupied terri
tories is subjected to the provisions
of this new military code, enforced
entirely by Allied personnel. There
is no attempt to use German off,
cials, even when non-Nazi, except
under temporary circumstances. This

This and That

Dear Sir:

birds in August.

That is exactly what will happen, In

Permitting the birds and creatures to

1t means that one is taking into con-
sideration the one who puts out the food
as well as those winged and four legged
creatures that eat it.
To get red in the face over unwanted
guests is neither practical nor whole

We cannot forget the words of a good
and great man, who spent his last days
watching the birds at his estate.
He said, in regard to this matter: IF
a fellow runs ee-lunch stand, he
cannot be angry at any of the guests
who come
That certainly is the most wholesome
way OF looking at this matter

find the better birds driven away by the
more common ones.
This is small disappointment, how

On the Record
BY Dorothy THOMPSON

Assuming that Gov. Dewey thinks he
is going TO be the next President of the
United States, he is laying some dan
gerous traps for himself For as Presi-
dent he would have to deal with some
OF the greatest problems that ever faced
an administration. and he seems busy
cutting from under his own feet any
rational solutions of them.
Coy Dewey has been attacking ad-
ministration demobilization plans, and
quoting Frederic A. Delanos planning
board report as evidence for the accusa-
ton that the administration is planning
to hold men in the Army after hostilities
have ceased because it is incompetent to
deal with the unemployment problem.
This is only another of the Governors
assertions in which the truth is not only
distorted but meanings are diametrically
reversed.
For the Delano report is a thoughtful.
common-sense attempt to deal con-
structiyely with a gigantic problem
That Of releasing millions of servicemen
into civilian life under such conditions
that they will have reasonable expecta-
ton Of finding employment at decent
wages. The report recognizes what is
obvious, that there Is a connection be-
tween the rate of demobilization and the
rate Of Unemployment 1t recommends.
as the first measure. the stimulation of
employment opportunities with the OBJ
Ject OF making demobilization "as rapid
and smooth as possible" but recognizes
that rehabilitation will have to occur
IN proportion to the abSorptiye Dower of
industry.
Swift demobiliza ton is a very attrac-
tive slogan for all the families who want
their boys back-and that is every FAM
lly. 1t is certainly much more popu-
lar slogan than would be immediate
and drastic reduction of wages upon
the cessation Of hostilities"! But, in
fact, the two formulas are synonymous.
For If millions of servicemen were
demobiliZed en- masse to compete ruth
lessly with each other and the existing
labor force for an inadequate number
OF Jobs, what would inevitably happen
would be depression of wages to the
subsistence level. Such q huge influx
OF surplus and unorganized labor would
smash the trade union system. But it
would also crush the purchasing power
OF the Nation, bring depression, and
start the whole economy on a down.
ward spiral. And it would bring bit
ter disillusionment to millions of SOL
diers, who have not fought this war for
that kind of future.

Philippine Operation
By Maj. Georse Fieldins Eliot

1t has already been pointed out in
these articles that from the cold
blooded strategic point of view. the
recovery of the Philippines is but a
step toward the ultimate objective of
the present phase Of the Pacific war,
the preparatory offensive phase
This ultimate objective-as Admiral
Nimitz has repeatedly pointed outs
the establishment of Allied air power in
the continent of Asia, which is the only
place that Is big enough for the de-
ployment of the huge air forces at the
disposal of the United Nations, or which
will be at their disposal when the Eu-
ropean war is over. The time factor
is not only the urgency of coming to
decisive grips with the japanese but
also the much more pressing urgency
at this particular moment Of giving
such aid to our Chinese allies as shall
prevent military and political COL
lapse Of China.
A further gain in the retaking of the
Philippines will be, of course, the sew
erance Of the japanese lines of COM
munication with their southern garri-
Burma, Indo-China and Thailand, and
rubber, tin and other raw materials
which Japan draws from these regions.
The process of reducing the Philip
pines will undoubtedly be a piecemeal
one. beginning with operations for
establishing land-based aircraft within
the Philippine archipelago and then
the ousting of the inter-i island COM
munications of the Japanese so as to
isolate their various garrisons and per-
NIT their reduction one by one.
Some of these garrisons may be left,
as other Japanese garrisons have been,
to "wither on the bough":: but they will
not be so long in the whitening as the
Japanese garrisons in some of the Pa
cific islands, because the Philippines,
unlike the Pacific atolls, are inhabited
by numerous, brave and warlike popu-
lation which has not enjoyed the Japa-
nese occupation and will happily turn
to- to help In expelling or destroying
their unwelcome visitors, as soon as they
can be provided with arms for that
purpose.
Undoubtedly the Philippine operation,
considered by itself, ultimately will be
directed toward the recovery of the
island Of Luzon, the principal island of
the archipelago. It is also, of course,
the island In which the Japanese
strength is greatest. We may expect to
find that strength concentrated in the
area around Manila Bay and Lingayen
Gulf, the one part of the island which
has q reasonably good road net. and

Says 1t Was China "Alone'


To the Editor Of The Star:
In The Star for October Is you re-
ferred to the New York Times editorial
support OF President Roosevelt as q
news item. In the single greatest
crisis Of our times" you quoted in
part, Britain stood alone as
the outpost of civilization against the
dark forces that threatened to engulf
U.s."
Permit an American-born Chinese
girl to challenge that statement about
the English nation. The first dark
forces that threatened, to engulf us"
were the Nipponese; they were the
hrst ones to attack us and declare war
upon us. Great Britain was not standing
alone as the outpost of civilization"
at that time. Instead, she was doing
all in her imperial power to placate
and appease the Japanese.
The only nation at war with Hiro-
hito at that time was China, and the
fighting has been going on steadily
since July 7, 1887. England didn't get
into the world struggle until two years
and two months later. During that
period of over so months. China stood
alone as the outpost of civilization
against the dark forces that threatened
to engulf us" and we should remember
1t If we want to keep the record
straight and honest in our own minds.
