Speaking of the Balkans

With the Russian armies sweeping into Southeastern Europe, and speculation rife as to the date when the joint British American forces will invade the continent enroute to Berlin, major attention is be- ing focused on the historic Balkan coun- tries. The cradle of World War I, the Balkans will undoubtedly be an import ant battle-ground in World War H. And to the peace-loving and picturesque peo- pie of these historic countries, the cur rent war is battle for their liberation.
 A real understanding of the people in the Balkans; the processes of Nazi irl- filtration and Fascist domination; the night admiration for Americans and ap- preciation for the peacetime and rendered in bringing to Greece and other nations benefits from the western world, and the hope for the United States to be potent force in bringing and maintaining world peace, is found in Laird Archer's new book, Balkan Journal" It is a graphic story of events in the Balkans during pre-war years and is a must" for those desiring behind-the-S scenes account of Hitler'S methods of conquest.
 Laird Archer lived for twenty-one years in the Balkans. Thirteen of these years were spent as foreign director of the Near East Foundation. It was in this capacity that he conferred with those in throne rooms and Embassies, ever keeping an attentive ear to the views of those in peasant cottages. With tolerance and sympathy for people he loved, the author has caught the spirit of the Bal kans and translated it into the printed word for all-time.
 Balkan Journal" one of the really worthwhile books of the year, is replete with stirring stories of the magnificent way in which the people of Greece glori- ously resisted the Italians and defied the Germans. The book is of importance to those who seek understanding of the Ball. kan people in a war-mad world.
 In an impressive foreword to Balkan Journal" Harry Scherman, President of the ook-of-the-M Month Club says of Laird Archer: "His zestful Kansas curiosity about every aspect of public affairs and everybody's private opinion is evident from the first lines of his journal. The expectable result is what one finds here, a stirring picture of great people in historic travail, but with such uncon- quered spirit, even at the lowest depths of suffering, that they will be as proud of it, in all the future as they are Of Marathon"

A Biz Job for MT. Wallace

There is a growing suspicion that per hapS Vice President Wallace's projected trip to China should be taken at face value. This is naive, of course. It vio- lates the tradition of interpreting any announcement which carries political overtoneS. But all the speculation upon this ju.nkets possible effect on MT. Wal 1ace'S chances for renomination have been inconcluSive. We shall just have to wait and see. Meanwhile, there is job to be done in China What is to be done, and how, is not clear. But there are vari- ouS points of friction between China and the other members of the Big Four war alliance that need repair. China's rela- tionS with Britain, for instance, have not been of duck-pond smoothness. The ques- tion of Hong Kong remains unsettled. The Chungking government has not been entirely sympathetic toward England's handling of Indian problems. And lately there was the rebuff of China in Eng lands drastic clamp-down on diplomatic immunity.
 There has also been recent border dispute between Russia and China. What happened in the remote western province of Sinkiang may not have seemed very important over here, but it was Sympto- u1dIlC Ol 1I1GCII1dl GIOuUAC III O4AAAAcI CAA@." might have far-reaching effect. Evl- deMtly there is lot more trouble in China than most of us know. The country IS tightly governed and tightly censored. The only opposition political party, the so- called Communists, are walled off by mil itary segregation Stories that come through from Chungking hint at hunger and great weariness, at an ill-equipped army, at imitation.
 China must be near exhaustion after 10 war years. She needs assurance and encouragement while she waits for help so long needed and so long promised. She undoubtedly needs some practical and immediate advice, and a frank discus sion of mutual points of dissatisfaction among the Allies. This job calls for an American, on the basis of the long, friend ly association and mutual respect between the two countries. It also calls for an American who can speak with wisdom and authority. In tackling it, MT. Wallace has an important and challenging opportunity for diplomatic service no matter what et- feet his journey to Chungking may have upon his ambitions at home.

 Beginning tomorrow, typewriters, both ancient and modern, viii Dc taken off the rationing list.

Thousands of venerable instruments, whose eccentricitieS in their declining days have driven operators to despair, will uten aw&i, we'll meritsc retire ment.

News that there is to be an infusion into the market of newer stock will be gratifying to thousands who. under difficulties, have ben committing to paper millions of words, some of which may prove to have been deathleSs, but which probably will be largely outnumbered by others more perishable. At any rate, we may have established @ principle no fourth terms for typewriters.

Japs, Scotch, and Soda Pop

The convenient fact that Major Rich ard l. Bong is teetotaler saved rather embarrassing situation after the Pacific ace broke Captain Eddie Rickenbacker's World War record. When Captain Rickenbacker started to send the record breaker case of Scotch, General Mac Arthur raised an objection. He did not think spirits an appropriate recogni- tion,' suggested that promotion to major was enough.
 General MacArthur may have been within the bounds of authority, but he conceivably exceeded those of good taste when he passed judgment upon the ap- propriateness of some other persons gilt.
 General Arnold's message with a git of soft drinks was more gracious: Under stand you prefer this type of refreshment to others. You thoroughly deserve to have the kind you want"

illustrative purposes, would seem to be enough confusion for one day.
 Of course, the obvious remedy would be for everyone to get together-Army, Navy, WING, WIPE and other departments concerned - and decide upon as con- certed and orderly course of action as the shifting demands of war will permit. But in the meantime, it might be well if OWI worked a little harder at one of its more publicized functions - that of clearing all government speeches and releases with view toward preventing violently opposed or contradictory state ments of official policy, at least on the same day.

WHAT A MAN!
(The Catholic Transcript

SSNtS1SASS
 "A great man and a great priestl'
 This is the comment repeatedly made, ill letters and orally, by offi- cers and men Of the Army unit with which the Rev. Richard F. Scully, priest of the Hartford Dio- cese, is serving somewhere in the Pacific.
 From the time that Father Scully volunteered for chaplain work, long before Pearl Harbor, he became something of 8 legend. Big and rugged, he impressed the soldiers as a genuine mans man. They were not long in finding out that he was also every inch a priest. He won them all. When they wrote home, they mentioned him in glowing terms. He was, tireleSs and amaz- ingly resourceful in meeting their every need. He was friend to each of them.
 When the unit was moving out for overseas duty, it spent some time at an authorization port. A priest stationed in the port city later paid visit to Hartford, called at this office, and spoke with gen. uine awe of Father Scully;S prestige with the fighting men. After tht unit had arrived at its foreign des. tination, stories about Father Scul. 1y kept pouring in here. One O them had 1t that the commanding ofncer directed that the chaplatl was not to be interfered with 1T any way. "He comes pretty near t' being the morale of this outfit, was his reported comment.
 What we are going to set dow now undoubtedly seems far nor important to us than 1t will t others. Certainly 1t does not com ] pare with many others of this grea chaplain's achievements. Last weel ! we had . letter from hAm-1EoE

Tragic Accidents

Recent events have reaffirmed the fact that war is a matter of tragic mistakes as well a straglc intentions. American airborne troops are shot down by their own comrades in Sicily; British flyers attack American cargo planes over the Atlantic; Liberators bomb a Swiss city. The fruitlessness of such waste of life is a double misfortune, but it must be put down as inevitable in a war marked by high speed and split7second decisions.
 There is, however, one consolation to be gained from these sad occurrences. That is the prompt disclosure of the last two after the public resentment over the long-delayed announcement of the Slcll- ian incident.
 Perhaps the handling of these two cases marks trend toward more prompt, frank and democratic disclosure of bad news as well as good, after too many ln- stances of pussyfooting

A GALLANT FIGURE
(New York 1hnsH)

(NeW York TGnsH)
 Thomas Hitchcock jr. won as a boy the regard, 1t is :aot too much to say the affection, of the public. He left St. Pauls School in the hope of getting into the British Air Force. He was an accomplished horsema1l who had begun his riding lessons at 3. He YVES @ boxer, ten- his player, football player. He was just the sort of chap that the British were looking for as a fighter in the air. They rejected him on account of his youth. The elder Theodore Rooseyclt came to his rescue and got him into the Laf- fayette Escadr!lle, where young Americans from the schools and collegts won their wings. He shot down three German planes. Forced to the ground in battle with three and taken prisoner, he stole a map from sleeping guard, jumped out of a window of a moving train and made his way into Switzerland and safety. A young gentleman of IS who took advantage of Q desperate chance and had hs wits about him.
 You thought of that in the surge and hurly- -burly of a polo game, when year after year he was the prize player. In the Seventies polo was barely existing as an exotic at Newport. It might about as well have been in its native Persia. That noble elder race, Milburn and Harry Whitney and the brothers Water bury. enlarged the vogu e of the game. Under the younger Hitchcock and his associates 1t grew really popular. The international competi- tions with the British and the Ar gentineS concentrated attention up- on 1t. It became national and ceaS- ed to be merely Eastern and fash- ionable.

A Slight Case of Confusion

War Manpower Commissioner McNutt made a speech and the owl issued re. port, both on the same day. That in itself is not unusual. MT. McNutt makes lots of speeches. OWI issues even more re- ports. On this particular day, however, Mr. McNutt told his listeners that the rnanpower situation was relatively good" and that labor shortages are cauS- ing less damage to war production than at any time in the past year. The OW! said that 100000 more women would ke needed in war work or War-Support- ing work by July. This in spite of the Census Bureaus statement that 100000 women who had been in such work were unemployed in January, and the War Manpower Commissions estimate that this figure might rise to 5OO,0OO by July right when owl says we shall need 100000 additions to the 16,4OO,OOO wo- men now employed
 Also on this same day, Brigadier- Gen. eral A. T. Brown, New York state draft director, estimated that about 95 per cent of New York registrants over 26 would be deferred because their jobs are in "War supporting activity" The announce ment must have looked little strange to the considerably more than 5 per cent of oyer-26 regiStrantS in New York and else where who have recently gone into service from jobs or businesses which undoubtedly 1ell within that almost all embracing term pf "War supporting activity" That. for
