THOUGHT FOR TODAY
yeI,,e He chose. and those He did no
Restrain Enthusiasm

In the irrepressible enthusiasm-Cau 1t OPP
timism if you will universally felt at the
decline of German fighting strength and IN
evitable defeat of the Reich armies within
Germany itself, at last, we are too ready
to foresee the end Of all fighting and the
restoration of world peace. And, along with
this vision, comes the impulse to let down the
barriers and throw off the restraints that have
been necessary since the battle started
Despite the approaching finish of Nazism
and Prussian war-making, this view could be
disastrous if allowed to grow. The greater
war-that in the Orient-is still to be fought
out Japan is still powerful, especially on the
Asiatic mainland. Not until the last Japanese
soldier has been killed or captured, not until
the war party in Nippon has been brought
to its knees, can we properly consider the
world conflict ended, and begin to let our
hair down.
To be sure, forces under Admiral Ninnitz
and General Macarthur have made phemom-
inal advances. Instead of Pearl Harbor, Ad-
miral Nimitz has moved his headquarters to
Guam-so near has the Navy approached ia
pan-that he may be near the actual COM
bat. His fleets are THAT much closer to Tokyo.
Instead of Australia General Macarthur is
in the Philippines, ready for carrying the bat
tie to China as quickly as the Navy has clear
ed the way, and it would appear that the day
of land attack on the mainland of Asia is not
so far distant.
But for all this, and the almost daily sue
cesses our forces are meeting in the Pacific
theater of war, the showdown is still ahead.
1t will involve very ounce of striking power
we can summon if vistory is to reward our
effort. 1t would be a sad mistake to begin
to ease off on the home front in the mistaken
belief that the wars end is in sight. Instead
there is every reason for us to redouble our
efforts in support OF the military effort and
restrain every impulse blindly to exult over
Germany's obvious collapse.
