Joke Wore Too Thin

The political censorship section of the soldier
vote bill was good for some laughs, but the
joke was beginning to wear thin. So now the
inevitable modification of the measure has
been voted by Congress.
The Senate amendments do just what should
have been done in the first place. They make
certain that the soldier or sailor will get the
same sort Of reading matter available to him
at home, limited only by the exigencies OF
war. They are going to let him see what movies
and plays are available, listen to the radio,
and receive his private mail-including poll
teal Neutrality-suspicious. interference.
And they are going to dispel some unflatter-
ing undemocratic differences that existed in
the original measure as drafted by Sen. Robert
A. Taft. 1t was hard to escape the conclusion
under Army execution OF the original law, that
Congress regarded citizen as radically chang
ed when he put on the uniform of his country.
Congress seemed to think that be abandoned
all independence Of judgment with his civilian
application that the man fighting his country s
battles should be protected from any writing
inclined to excite discussion. Congress ap-
parently felt that the servicemen's diet of in
formation should be extremely bland no
roughage, no condiments, and not much guam
tity.
Senator Taft consented to and co-operated
in the Senate amendments to the political
censorship law, which is to his credit But
in doing so he blamed the War Department
for failure of the first measure, and suggested
that the armys over-lteral application of the
law had been deliberately ridiculous, designed
to discredit Congress and sway the election.
This seems unlikely. If the original law had
not been vague, flexible and ill-advised, its in
tempretation would not have been SO silly. II
the original law had not carried some stiff
penalties for violation, the Army probably
would not have been so Jealous.
Senator Taft also voiced some doubts about
the War Departments political impartiality.
This also seems unlikely The War Department
is headed by distinguished, respected Republi
can statesman. The Army chief Of staff has
never voted It's officers are drawn from men
Of both parties
| No, the sad truth seems to be that Congress
pulled a legislative boner.

Wrong Tactics

Several thousand workers at the Electric
Boat Co., in Groton, Conn. where submarines
are built for the Navy, turned down strike
vote by a 4-to-1 majority. So their union
called the strike anyway. The union is the Ship
builders and Marine Union. an Independent.
The Independents have been asking for men,
hership on the National War Labor Board and
greater consideration generally. The request
is just one. But they can scarcely hope for
public or governmental sympathy by imped-
ing war production against the wishes Of the
workers.
The union officials should realize that re-
sponsibility and good will are often the pre-
requisites Of privilege.

Of Messina, figuratively speaking,
and concentrated on the Italian
mainland. This section of "Inva-
sion Diary" is much the better
part, less superficial and more di-
rect in its impact. 1t leads up to
the personal climax aforemention-
ed, and closes with a lot of ma
terlal on hospital life in the Amer
lean Army, on the psychological
attitudes of wounded men, n d
even some humor, although humor

Iregaskls. He appears to be a
very purposeful young Harvard
man.
l am not sure what Invasion
Diary adds up to. 1t is quietly
and effectively written, its materi-
al is very familiar, it deals with
a section OF the Battle for Europe
which is temporarily overshadow-
ca. There is little history in the
book that has not been read else
where long ago. Tregaskis has per-
maps overdone one of the hoariest
OF all newspaper maxims, which is
one about names selling papers.
Names probably sell books, too,

is gained by including hundreds of
them.

The taking Of Paris is not the major objec-
tive of the Allied campaign in France. The
real object is to destroy all enemy forces
therein.
At the same time the capture Of Paris is
not to be sneezed at It will represent another
major victory in the Battle of Europe and i'm
press the German people and the German
armed forces with the impossiblity of hating
the Allied juggernaut now that it is rolling
steadily toward Berlin.
Another advantage, which cannot be over
looked, is that with Paris taken American
and British forces will be freer to concentra ate
heavier forces upon the robot front, which
seems to have its focal point at or near
Calais but probably extends from the Low
Countries to La Harve. England must be
saved as quickly as possible from these de-
structive robot raids that have levied so heavily
upon human life and property in recent
months.
troops in combat with the enemy in northern
France. It's importance cannot be overesti-
mated. Allied supply must function from Eng
land without interruption or Interference. But
supply cannot function at par as long as Ger
man robots continue to pour across the chan
mel. They must be stopped and the only way
they can be stopped is to drive the Ger
mans away from the channel coast.
This, naturally, will be among the under
takings to be launched by some section Of

History Through Hats

Once again we are indebted to the hat
industry's trade journals for an item Of minor
but intriguing information. Early in the war
they informed us that most Panama hats
didn't come from Panama, but from the Far
East. Now, as the Allies push northward in
Italy, we learn that Leghorn straws don't
come from Leghorn at all, but from small
area near France
We also discover that the hat people, though
they view the war largely in terms of straws
and burl braid and buntal fibers, still are
taking what is known as the long view. The
publication HAT Life.'' for instance states
that 1.-The things the hat trade wants most lie
at the end Of the long road-Japan itself" To
which we outside the trade can say Amen.
Final victory and sennit braids, the end OF
the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere
and plenty OF Togo Panamas and Bangkoks-

Our Chief Aim
More Nurses

The. war news has been so good In recent
weeks that we at home are all too liable to
overlook part of the cost of victory which,
so far as Europe is concerned, seems not SO
far ahead.
This does not apply, Of course. to house
holds which have been stricken, but only to
the tens of thousands of other homes that
have been spared. In these the steadily
mounting casualty lists have little significance.
1t is time for everybody to recognize the
fact that with each days fighting on this
tremendously accelerated scale the number OF
troops wounded is on the increase Ultimate
victory is levyng a heavier price upon our
fighting forces with every advance.
These men who are struck down in battle
need the best of care if their lives are to
be saved The miracles of sulfa drugs and
penicillin, the marvellous skill of our surgeons,
alone cannot do this. Nursing still must be
depended upon to complete the job More and
more nurses are needed at the front.
If they are to take ptheir burdens more
women will have to take nurse training. 1t is
said that 10000 cadet nurses are needed i'm
mediately. AS they complete their courses and
are prepared to care for the sick at home
nurses with greater skill and more rounded
training may be released for the battlefronts.
The need is for large numbers OF volunteers
Any girls or young woman with average
schooling and in good physical condition is
eligible. Surely Wilmington, which has done
well in training nurses aides and cadets will
not fail in this increasing emergency Inquiries
addressed to Red Cross headquarters will bring
Ill information promptly

Nelson To China

The custom Of criticsing the Washington
administration has become 50 prevalent that
even the sending of Donald M. Nelson to con.
suit with Chang Kai-shek on war and economic
matters is being attacked before sufficient
time has passed to determine whether the
trip represents a wise move or not
The complaint is that Nelson had finally
made a start the reconversion Of industry
to peacetime requirements, and to take him
off that project now is like slap in the
face as one critic puts it. The fact may well
be that Mr.. Nelson's program is 30 well in
hand that subordinates may carry on without
loss to the program, whereas it is universally
known that China's position in the Pacific
war is becoming more vital all the time and
China's need for our aid greater with the
passage of every month
The Washington administration has bunder-
ed sadly and at heavy cost in the past and
we would not be interpreted as condoning any
one of its many mistakes. But it appears quite
probable that in the ease of Mr.. Nelson's trip

night when the enemy opened up
on them. Tommy leaped right
through a hidge and, spoting fox
hole, plunged into it.
To his amazement and fright,
there was German in the fox
hole, sitting pretty, holding a ma
chine pistol in his hands.
Clayton shot him three times in
the chest before you could say scat.
The German hardly moved. And
then Tommy realized the man had
been killed earlier. He had been
shooting a corpse.
All these experiences seem to
have left no effect on this mild
soldier from Indiana, unless to
make him even quieter than before.
The worst experience of all is just

Richard Tregaskis, one of our
better war diarists, is Johnny
come lately with his new book,
Invasion Diary" And for a good
reason. Tregaskis was wounded on
the Italian front few miles from
Cassie. He lost some of his skull,
and surgeons at the front picked
out fragments of bone buried as
deeply as two inches in his brain.
He was shipped from hospital to
hospital, some of them tents, some
comparatively luxurious, until at
last he reached the United States.
His wound paralyzed his right side,
and made his speech organs cease
accurate functioning. For days he
was able to formulate thoughts, but
quite unable to express them in
speech or in writing. This was not
a pleasant state for a newspaper
man.
This unpleasantness delayed his
book SO long that an incredible
amount of newsprint has told and
retold the story, almost to the linn

Minor Revolution

There are those among us who fear that our
Russian ally means to change the face and
political structure of postwar Europe. 1t may
comfort these fearful ones to learn Of some
changes that the Russians have begun at home:
have been given new names. Tarnopo, for
instance, has been changed to Ternopol And
Czertkow pronounced Chertkov) has become
Chortkov pronounced ChortkoW.
The revolution may be under way. But it
certainly is proceeding in low gear.
