WHAT WAR BONDS MEAN Perfect Victories Start At Home
By LEFT ERICKSON AP Features

PEARL .HARBOR - When you read communiques from the front, and correspondents stories telling how our marines and army dough- boys storm, capture and shatter a death-s' mixing Pacific atoll, you folks at home feel hope-lightlng satisfaction, don't you?
 You think to yourself: We've licked the Japs again. We ought to be able now to keep right on rolling to the China coast, and pretty soon start showing the Japs what war is like right at home. v
 Militarily, the capture of kwa- jalein, Roi, and Namur in the Marshalls was as nearly perfect as an amphibious operation can be.
 But for individual American husbands, fathers and sons, the cost of he Kwajalein victory was great. Two hundred and sixty eight paid with their lives. Hun dreds were wounded. Many will remain physically damaged for the rest of their lives.
 Lives and bodies are the wea- pons of war. If all of you could see a hospital ship crowded with wounded men as they look com ing straight from the battle line you would know why the pri- mary consideration of Admiral Nimitz and his team of Army Navy and Marine commanders in their war planning is:
 The cost in American men mus be as small as humanely possible.
 The more power in ships, guns, planes, landing craft, bombs and shells Nimitz and his staff can

ATHENS, Dec. 22-(P)-The Left.
Wing ELIAS were reported tonight
to be forwarding q new three-point
peace proposal to 1t. Gen. R. M.
Scobie, British commander in
Greece, but the atmosphere in
Athens remained tense as Gen.
Napoleon Vervas, chieftain of the
Rightist Edes, charged that be-

was unoffcially understood to agree
to Scobie's terms, including dis
armament and Withdrawal of Ell
