War Correspondent Of The Star and
WITH THE UNITED STATES
EXPEDITIONARY FORCES IN
THE PACIFIC, June 16.-The island
of Saipan, main japanese strong
hold in the Marianas, will be cap
tured. But its capture, initiated
by American troops, who fought
their way ashore on Wednesday, is
tough assignment.
The preparations have been In
the making ever since the successful
penetration of the Marshals.
The assault was spearheaded by
amphibious tanks, later to be re-
placed by land tanks as they can
be got ashore. The launching was
under cover of a smoke screen
through which rolled our naval ar
tillery and aerial barrage. with
planes strafng the beachheads
without a halt
Every effort is being made to spare
our men. There is no question of
our naval and aerial supremacy. In
the line of mechanical equipment
the Japs may turn up number OF
medium tanks with which we have
had little experience as yet and some
amphibious tanks. They have two
air strips, one at each end of the
island, but we expect to knock out
their air force on the ground early.
Admiral Turner Optimistic.
Admiral Turner before embarka-
ton described the details of the
campaign to correspondents. He left
no doubt in any OF our minds of the
toughness of the project, but stressed
the optimistic outlook He said the
amphibious force taking part was
composed of veterans of previous
Pacific battles.
Saipan is 1,450 miles from Toxic
and about 1850 from Manila. 1t is
also about 5000 miles from Pearl
Harbor. Guam, captured from us
by the Japs early in the Pacific war,
is only 149 miles away. The cap
ture of the island will push our
Pacific lines of offensive deeper

other natural obstacle which COM
plicates the task of the attacking
forces-the ridge of hills that runs
down the center of the island from
l,554-foot Mount Tapotchan, in the
geographical center of the island, to
879-foot Mount Marpi on the north
ern end. Until we can gain this
high ground the Japs will be in a
position to threaten us.
Town of 10000 on Island.
There is only one important town
on the island, Garapan. 1t has a
population of about 10000, the
largest Of any city thus far at

arena. There are approximately
5000 buildings there. This means

bases for future operations.
The island comprises u square
miles of land, stubbornly guarded
by nature against invasion. Cliffs
run along its eastern shore. There
are good beaches along the western
coast, but a long coral reef of shore
forms a difficult barrier between
beach and open sea.
Besides the coral reef there is an

1t remains to be seen just how
much of a problem the population
of the island will present. There are
approximately $4,000 civilians there
altogether of whom 1900 are Cha

Warning pamphlets are being
dropped on Garapan and it is hoped
that the population will follow di-

In 12-foot sugar cane, which covers
from half to two-thirds Of the land,

industry.
Although the southern end of the
island is low and fat, the northern
has some elevated points and, be-
tween these, on low, smooth areas,
the Japs have built airfields. The
ground is ideal for tank fighting.
Already the enemy is putting up a
stiff fight, and further fierce, bloody
combat Is expected as wave after

bad day for democracy when people don't
get excited about an election. But there is
a difference between excitement and ran
cor. The next President and the next Con-
gress will make the most fateful decisions
that have been made in America since the
DAYS of the Founding Fathers. Will they
have behind them country broken into
distrustful fragments. or country which
is a national community because every
part of it respects the other parts?
The British, who have fluid constitu-
ton, have been able to sidestep holding an
election in the midst of a neck or nothing
war They have paid heavy price. They
havetoday Parliament elected in 1895,
and probably no people on earth have
changed as much since 1895 as the British.
With our rigid Constitution, however. we
have no choice in the matter. The British
may be right or wrong to avoid the issue;
but we in America must hold Presidential
election no matter what is happening. The
only decision that is up to us is whether to
behave like adults during the prediction
months, or whether to behave like brats.
If WE behave like grown-up democrats,
if we argue with each other for the sake of
increasing our common stock of wisdom
and not for the sake of inventing new cpl
thets with which to annoy our neighbors,
the schoolbooks of the next century will
say we were great generation of Ameri
cans. They will say that We were capable
of meeting a hard test nobly, capable of
putting the health of our country above
the indulgence of our own habits, capable
of creating an unbreakable national unity
at the time of our severest national trial.
If we behave badly. if we permit our
selves to increase the divisions among ma
jor groups within the country, what will
the textbooks of the future say? Well, it is
just possible that those textbooks might
not be written by people who support the
old-fashioned American idea.

Wars are fought to determine who is to
have the chance to build the institutions
of the immediate future. By winning this
war we shall settle one thing only: that
the future will be made by the wisdom or
the folly of the United Nations, not by the
sayapery of the Axis Shall we be wise or
shall we be foolish, when the world d-creat-
ing decisions have to be made? So far as
America is concerned, that viii depend IN
part on the conduct of each one OF us be-
tween now and election day.
America is the only country which has
ever held a national election in the midst
of an all-out war We did it successfully IN
the Civil War and we shall do it success
fully again. Yet it imposes great RESPONSE
bilities upon every citizen. responsibilities
which are worth reviewing in advance.
As the political fever rises, we shall be
tempted to behave like spoiled children,
calling each other names, attributng 70
each other the most hoTid motives, di-
yiding our national community with un-
necessary hatreds- To whatever extent we
get viciously angry at each other. to what
ever extent we inflict upon each other un-
forgettable insults, to that same extent we
shall fail to pool our national wisdom. we
shall fail to make the great decisions which
lie before us in the light of the best intelli-
pence the whole nation can bring to bear.
il HE American people want to do what is
right; but we don't yet know in detail how
to define what is right. We want to play
our part in making world in which ma
tons can live without the incessant fear OF

economic want. We won chance to help

don't want to have to win still another
chance with the lives of third generation
These statements are true of all Ameri-
cans They are true of Republicans and
Democrats, of labor and business and
farmers, of blacks and whites, and of the
members of all religions. How can we
bridge the gap between our desire to do
right, and our human ignorance of how to
do it, unless we impose upon ourselves the
democratic self-discipline which will help
US to learn from one another?
j HE most difficult of all political tasks
is the task of being citizen of democra-
cy. 1t means that every morning when we
get up we must remind ourselves that 1t is
possible that our neighbor may be right,
that we may be wrong. or that we may both
be wrong and that if we talk to each other
without getting angry we may discover an
opinion which is better than either of us
could have devised alone.
That sounds like a school textbook de-
scription of democracy, which it is. But it
doesn't sound like the way we talk in real
life. We tend to talk as if we believed that
the other political party, or the other ra-
cial background, or the other way of max
ing a living, were something which made
our neighbors unfit to take part in sensi-
bic discussion of what we all ought to do.
We talk that way, when the election
hysteria overcomes us; but underneath all
the campaign froth, we still believe in each
other. Why not behave as if we did?
In quiet times we can afford to offend
the democratic code during our brief Pres
idential excitement. But when life is at
stake, and all our hopes, we had better not
get too angry, because the anger might last
beyond election day. If it did, we might
find ourselves divided people - divided
only because we had not taken the trouble
to curb our passions.
am not suggesting that we shouldn't
get excited about the election. 1t will be
