things we must do to achieve
peace.
DEAR MISS ROBINSON:
"No one person can give the
world peace, man or woman.
1t is a job for all individuals,
men AND women.
DO we really want peace?
We say we do and we struggle
vanly through man-made meas
urcS intended TO insure peace
and yet We find no lasting
peace. Why? Because we re-
fuse TO pay the price! We
want peace but with as little
effort as we can put forth.
How long before we realize
that 10 have a truly lasting
peace We must first have ii in
our very own hearts? We must
work hard TO make our lives
over 10 FIT the ways Of peace.
We must rid our hearts OF so
many thingS-greed, SeltiShneSs,
race prejudice, to name a few.
"All the work of the great
San Francisco conference will
hc m vain if we as individuals
are not willing 10 adjust our
lives TO fit the ways of peace
instead of trying 10 get a peace
TO ht our way of life. We must
work harder for this peace than
We ever worked for war and
when il comes, who then can
say man or woman gave Us
peace -
Mrs. Dorothy \. LacOck. age 20.

Faith in Women

Thomas McDermott of Mil
waukee, doesn't underestimate
the power OF women. His fine
letter shows his unboundcd faith
in them.
IF women ruled the world
writes Tom, there would be
no more wars. Wars begin be-
cause some men want the
wealth. the power, glory and
fame which others have. But
women seek from life only
security, happiness, goodness.
love all of which can be OBJ
tained without wars.
Men forget and value too
lightly the pain and sacrifices
of bearing sons and rearing
them to manhood. Mothers
NivIdly remember through life
their pain and fear, their
anxiety and hardship. The
world itself cannot repay a
woman for the loss of her son.
The kindness and goodness
OF women have inspired and
made possible all the worth
while things that we glory in
and cherish. Through history.
women more idealistic and
spiritual have fought against

branches have been brought back
to tell the veterans of the Euro
pean and Mediterranean what
it's all about. Some of these lat
ter are pretty cortemptuous
about this retraining. After 20
odd months of the kind of bat
Ting they have been through,
they have a right to be. But
once in the Pacific, they will ap-
preciate the days and hours they
have sweated through learning
elementary things about killing
Japanese.
In the first place they will
learn that although Germans sur
render, japanese don't From the
first shot it's kill or be killed.
For every American who has
been killed in the Pacific about
SIS Japanese have gone to meet
their ancestors.
The number of prisoners taken
is practically nil. II was nearly
five months after the American
flag was run up to Tarawa that
the last japanese on the island
was killed. He was a sniper,
shooting from under the piles of
the very pier on which our troops
had first landed.
Combat in the Pacific theatre
is the most brutal thing the
American soldier has had to
learn. He must be taught every
thing from defending himself
against hand-to-hand treachery
when his adversary claims he is
dying to defense against the
butchery that might follow when
he goes into a cave to rescue d
child.
He has to learn about a new
enemy-tropical disease.
He has to pick up that adage
of his great-great grandfthers
about the Indians and regardless
of its unfairness then, convert it
into a present military truism:
THE only good japanese are
dead ones"
If there is anv doubt about
the war ahead, ask the bows who
are just back from Two Jima "a
Okinawa. That's what the Army
and Navy and Marines are say
ing to these lads en- route from
Europe to the Pacific.

Bv JACK sT1NNETT

Washington-AP - Not much
is said about it but if War De-
partment plans are carried out
to the letter, no one who has
fought in North Africa, italy or
Europe, will fight Japan without
retraining.
Some men will be RETAINED
here, others in the China-India-
Burma area, and still others in
Hawaii, where there's one of the
inest schools OF jungle fighting.
The other day l spent an hour
chatting with a colonel just
back from the European theatre
What's more, he is an armchair
colonel, close to retirement age
But when his furlough is fin
shed here, he's going to Missis-

a difference between warning on
Germans and warning en- Japan

Despite some Pacific area OBJ
servations to the contrary, the
Nazis weren't all fighting gentle
men by any means. There are
numerous authenticated reports
Of bloody treachery and stabs in

not add up to one-tenth OF one
per cent of necessary defense and
