Anent that island orientation
which we started last week, the
who's who among island atolls in
the Southwest Pacific war theatre
is herewith continued = and con-
cluded:
NEW GUINEA: Second largest
island in the world: Measures L.
500 miles from it's northwestern to
its southeastern tip; about 800 miles
in greatest width. Named by group
of Spanish explorers-about 1876
who observed that the natives pa
puanS) were darker than other Pa
cffic peoples, and more like the
Negroes of Africa'S Guinea coast
hence, New Guinea.
SOLOMON ISLANDS: Ten large
islands and many smaller ones,
forming a double row which extends
over an area 800 miles long and up
to 100 miles wide. Land area be-
tween 14,60O and 1900 square miles
Discovered by the Spanish explorer
Mendana. A legend that gold from
these islands had adorned Solomon'S
Temple at Jerusalem gave rise to
the term isles of Solomon"

largest island in the South Pacific
inferior in size only to the two
Islands of New Zealand and New
Guinea-215 miles long, 81 miles
wide. Called New Caledonia by
Captain Cook in 1774 because the

Islands, forming chain 535 miles
long. Total land area estimated to
be 5,700 square miles. Also discover

more than five square miles of land.

'CRUSR.ING TO YICTORY

In the Old Testament there are
only few accounts of actual mir
acles being performed by the Lord
between the time OF Moses, Aaron
and Joshua (who were contempor-
ariesl, and the time of Jesus.
These miracles occurred during
the lives Of Gideon, Elijah and
Elisha. One particular miracle
had to do with a widow living at
Zarephath Il Kings 17:10). She
had only "a handful of meal in a
barrel, and a little oil in a cruise" !"
She was going to bake a last cake
from the meal for herself and her
son, then both eat it. and die.
But Elijah. the great man of
God. commanded the woman to
make me thereof q little cake
first. and bring it TO me. and after
make for thee and thy son."
For the Lord had commanded
Elijah to say what he said, and the
woman courageously obeyed his
commandment.
In return for her obedience and
faith THE barrel of meal vast
ed not. neither did the cruise of oil
fail =" because the Lord HIM
self kept them filled for her. And
il was a wonderful miracle.
The United Nations today are
engaged in a different kind of a
"cruse"-ade: n showdown battle
between the forces of good and the
forces of evil. and We know Truth
and Right. which are attributes of
the Lord. are OH our side.
How do we know? just take the
initial letters of the four great
countries banded together sas the
United Nations. and read their in !
itials downward, as follows:
China
Russia
United
States

Eliminate China from our acros-
tic and what remains? Only
RUSE. But We can't eliminate
China: it is one of the oldest ma
tions on earth-and China was the
first country invaded by the ty-
rants. Nor are we three other
United Nations engaged in a
"ruse."
So we the people of the four
United Nations fervently pray that

AMERICAN TROOPS have land
ed in France. The battle for the
continent of Europe now enters a
new phase. 1t is the most foolish
of wishful thinking and the height
of folly to believe that the worse
is over. Hard. bloody fighting con-
fronts our armies as they attempt
to crush the NaZi military ma
chine. Death and terrible injuries
will be the fate of thousands of our
young men. Homes of high and
low estate throughout the length
and breadth of our nation will have
sorrowing news during the ensu-
ing weeks and months as the bat
ties increase in intensity. Now is
no time to be jubilant-nor is II
the occasion for deep gloom. Amer
lea, and our Allies. await the final
outcome with calm and with
growing conviction that our arms
will triumph. With this victory.
we all hope and pray. will come a
lasting peace which will assure JUS
tice to all; and from which world
will emerge in which democratic
and lawful means will be found so
that all peoples may live in peace
and harmony. Americans all--now
is the time for calm action and an
accelerated effort on the home
front that our boys in the battle
zone may have the material with
which to complete the task which
they have so nobly begun. We
cannot, we must not, let them
down.

WHEN THE WELL-KNOWN flu
ture historian. perhaps already
cooling in his bassinette, begins to
accumulate data for his monumen-
tai tome on the United States dur
ing the Second World War land,
one hopes. the LasU he may won
der how we did so well. He will
read the Congressional Record,
yellow, crumbling and dusty. Did
MT Congressman A hate Congress-
man Y more than he did the enc
my? Wasn't the war really be-
tween the legislative and executive
branches, and not, as supposed, be-
tween the United Nations and the
Axis Powers? Was anything done
right-domestic or foreign, eco
romic or military? The future his
torian will pick up local newspap-
ers, memoirs. letters. He will
trace opinion in the potato coun-
try, the cotton country, the cow
country, the steel country, in cities
and in small towns, and he will
find that millions and millions of
Americans didn't just say yes and
shut up when policies were prom
ulgated. No, they argued. objected
and criticized. When Government,
or any part of Government, did
wrong or made mistakes, as they
thought, they hOwled bloody MUIR
der.
Well, this is the way it is. Con-
temporaneously, it is often dis
heartening. Why. as each group of
us asks, can't people see things the
right way-our way? But the flu
ture historian will notice that we
did get things done. We didn't al
ways keep up to, schedules set in
advance. Our fighters didn't win
every skirmish. But the airplanes,
tanks, guns, jeeps, trucks, small
arms, ammunition. ships, and so
forth and so on, kept rolling out
and being put to use. No one ever
said that our fighters wouldn't
fight. 1t was harder to hold Them
back than to push them forward.
The people at home didn't like
taxes, didn't like ratiOning, didn't
like any kind of governmental reg
imentation, but most of them kept
on working So the war was won.
The future historian may come
to wise conclusion. He may con-
clude that we won for one big rea-
son, which, curiously enough, in
volved most of the things that held
us back. We won, he may decide.
because we were the sort of people !
who asked questions, wanted to
discuss issues, took time out to
hold a regular Presidential CAM
paign, and wouldn't, as a general |
rule, accept anything as true SIM
ply because some important person
told us in a loud voice that it was.
We were all Senator's, Repre-
sentatives, employers and indie
pendent-minded hired men. And it
didn't add up to anarchy. 1t added
pp to democracy. the big questions
all out in the open and everyone
willingly taking a hand in them.
One hopes this is what the fut-
ure historian will be able to say.
Certainly one would worry about

LIKE ANY MAN in uniform,
during the war the American free
press has given up some of its
freedom. 1t is essential not to pub
lish information which might help
the enemy. Sometimes there is
room for honest difference of Opin-
ion as to whether publishing an
item would actually help our enc
mics. when there is evidence that
they already have the information,
and when publishing it here might,
in fact, help the American public
to understand better the tremen-
dous difficulties before them. But
regardless of publishers thinking,
they have.and are, abiding even by
suggestions that items be withheld
from publication. Government and
the military are receiving fullest
cooperation from the men and wO-
men who, by training. are accus-
toned to dig out and know the
news and who. by instinct, strive
TO keep the people fully informed.
America has a right TO expect that
full freedom of the press will be
restored when removal of possible
hazards TO the safety of our armed
forces ends the need for censor
ship.
A completely free press is the
only safe foundation on which gov
ernment of the people can build all
other freedoms.
