A Thought for Today
Wendell L. Willkie

The sudden death of Wendell L. Willkie comes upon us in shocking manner not only because the man was in his prime, but more so because he reflected, during his public life, vlgor and stamina be- yond the average. His death unqueStion- ably is loss to the nation, particularly at time when men of such forceful action, stimulating mentality and pro- gressive ideas and ideals are so vitally necessary to its welfare.
 He was man of great scope of vision which was rooted in the fundamentals of the American way, yet was broad enough to extend out beyond the confines of our nations and It's habits and manners to touch upon the common pulse of all mankind He knew the people because he was of the people and that was his greated trait as leader.
 In public life he was on the American scene but five years and that Is a brief time In which to eValuate mans contri- button toward his generation and those to come. Yet in the brief time we gained one definite impression and that was of the mans integrity of purpose - the welfare of his country and It's people. He AlaO bSSAl NSAAlSNt Dy ODSSAVSASy aS V political paradox" because of his comet like rise in politics and world affairs, but we believe such observers were of narrow viAon Politics was but stepping stone for Wendell L. Willkie whose eager ag- gressive spirit of adventure mixed with idealism was too uninhibited to wear the stlfling cloak of e politician.
 An able attorney, an apt business leader and a new kind of American states. man, we think of him as q real man of this nation: an adventurous westerner, friendly and warm-hearted, voluble, eager, Independent, citizen, who, in typi- cal self-aSSured manner of an American sounded off to Adolph Hitler with the words: You have never met any people like us. And you had best implore what ever pagan God you believe in that you be spared that day"
 He was soldier of the people who died during wartime of the people.

What EIappens on lhe Inslde

"Will Americans lose the peace7" was the question discussed by tIreless, efler- getic and able Eugene W. Castle, out- standing business executive, before the Rotary Club of Pittsburgh one day last week. Castle has the unique distinction of being recognized as q plain business. man, who loves his country and is in the same class with Bobby Burns, enjoy ing "the glorious privilege of being ifl- dependent" That is why he is wel- come guest at SO many gatherings Of clubs, advertising men, and educational organizations.
 criSs-crossing this country talking to outstanding impression has been that many millions of anxious Americans be. lleve that our country has fallen to the role of being e one-way cash drawer, q moulder of fine but meaningless phrases, 6 portrayer of ideas and ideals that ir1 the end will not hold water and that will be buried and forgotten when full and final victory over our enemies has been achieved" said Castle, before express Ing the frank opinion that "wf1at hap- pens on the inside has been kept pretty much in the dark" He explained the "irsIde" as President RooseVelt'S meet ings with other Allied leaders with whom he has planned for the global peace This, apparently, is the way bus inessmen all over the country are think ing when they Ineasure-up the phrases and promises that come out Of the Big Top gatherings of Allies.
 Businessman Castle, brings is down to brass tackS and helps his countryn1en to sustain the basic policies of tine founders of our Government who made the charts and patterns for Democracy. Tt IS re- grettable that the diplomatic accomplish fnents are not oil par with the brilliant battle achievements of our Military Com. manders and the millions who serve uii- der then," Castle told the pittsburghers at the Fort Pitt Hotel and he threw ifl another firecracker, as follows: "As far as the average citizen can observe t would seem that these meetings for this 'dlobal design are the prolongation or the process Of losing OUT shirt. We have shed one garment after another ct eaeh meeting; it is to be hoped that before the really cold weather sets il this diploma tic StripteaSe will take c turn for the better for Americans"
 It is statement of fact that more than one-third million of Americans. the youngest. the strongest and the pest blood of our land-have been killed, inair1led, or wounded on the battleheldS of Europe. Asia and Africa. Our euei: fiessmafi said - and politician woula not say that "before these Americans went away none of them went of to war to get killed, maired, or wounded; for the purpose Of bringing personal ,ei glory to any political parsonage or clique Of tke present or the future" While ger; mans have died for their demented Fuehrer: Japs for their insipld Sun God Emperor Italians for their dumb puce. every American who fell "died only for his country" It is 6 relief, 6 treat, 70 hear and read what is in the heart afid sorl of businessmen. So, this report IS recorded as an invigorating and bracing uplift to the mind and soul Of the Afneri' can public.

HIGH PRRSsCRL AND LOW

 But venture to whisper Sttl Sttl sttl at the high pressure tactics Of the doctor, if the character tells tho truth--which Is always questionable, of course,

Land Route 10 China
Can Be Reopened,
StiIweII Declares
BY PRESTON GROVER,

@ksSvSAStcA ASe0 SVhLVepUA0chts
NEW DELHI, Feb. 3.-Fresh from
a visit to the Ledo front in Northern
Burma, 1t. Gen. Joseph W. stilwell
told press conference yesterday
that the reopening Of q land route to
China was 4 workable job and that
the Chinese and Americans were
fighting well to make 1t 10.
Asked whether the Chinese and
Americans are cooperating we'll,
Gen. Stilwell replied, they have
been associated together for Is
months. They have been killed to-
gether. Naturally they cooperate"
Gen. Stilwell conceived the project
OF building road through the North
Burma jungle to connect with the
old Burma land route which former
ly began at Rangoon, now In JapA-
nese hands.
The general said the road would
work and that critics who had said
1t would be impossible to build 4
highway through the India Burma
jungle had seen the impossible" ac-
complished. He declined to discuss
how big force it would support
when 1t was built or when it would
be finished.
A reporter commented that 1t was
presumed" that the road was de-
signed to support land movement
aimed at recapturing 4 workable
port on the China coast.
After a brief pause Gen. stilwell
answered, this is q start on an at
tempt to reopen communica tions
with China"
Taro on the far right fiank of the
Ledo operation was captured on
January 80 after the Chinese had
killed a considerable number Of JAP
anese, and the Chinese infantry are
now some distance ahead of the
road building gangs.
Asked about the morale of the
Japanese, Gen. stilwell said, you
have to kill them to get them out OF
their holes. They are tough and
they are good soldiers" He said the
Chinese tactics were to shell the
enemy's strongpoints If possible, and
then come in from behind and rush
them.
Asked how many japanese pris-
oners have been taken, Gen. stilwell
replied, two. and they were
wounded"
