Australia Mops Up

Far behind the main battle fronts
in the Pacific mop-up campaign is
proceeding which gets few head
lines yet which is an important fac
tor in the general strategy of the
war against Japan. This job has
been takens over by the Australian
forces and is now well under way.
Their field of action extends from
the northern Solomons through
New Britain and New Ireland to the
northern coasts of New Guinea.
Within that wide arc some 10000
Japanese troops still hold out, and
their elimination Is desirable for
various reasons.
When first by-passed it was
thought that they would soon with
er on the vine" But, with surprising
resourcefulness and tenacity, those
isolated Japanese forces made them
selves very much at home. Rice pad
dies were planted to supplement the
vegetables and fruits of their rich
tropical environment. Medicines
and concentrated foodstuffs shipped
in by submarines and occasional sur
face craft enabled them to keep
down disease and maintain a fair
degree of health and vigor. Most
serious of ALL from a long-range
point of view, they often fraternized
with the numerous natives, inter-
married, and began creating mixed
race. In short, the japanese are be-
coming colonists and threaten to
strike roots which. unless speedily
plucked up, may be hard to eradi-
cate.
Such considerations especially
concern Australia, since all these ter
ritories, with the exception of Dutch
New Guinea, are either integral out
posts of the commonwealth or man.
dates assigned to it by the League
of Nations over former German ter
ritory lost In World War One. Nei-
ther Australia nor New Zealand could
tolerate the existence of populations
Japanese in character and outlook
inhabitating regions so vital to the
postwar settlement which our antip-
odean allies have in mind.
Fortunately, the hardy, jungle-wise
Australian veterans, who are TAX
ing over from American garrisons,
are eininently fitted for the task and
are likewise imbued with a special
determination to fulfill a vital ma
tional mission. Those several. CAM
paigns may be prolonged and ar
duous. since the Japanese have had
three years to settle down and dig
In. But the job will eventually be
done, and one phase of Japan's bid
for Pacific domination will thereby
be decisively liquidated.

II Shall Not Die"
By Rabbi Solomon II. Metz,
RABBIT OF AdnS Israel COn0re0ntfon.

OF theodicy, hurled at Heaven by Job
Of old confronts the religious man.
II there is order, intelligence, pur-
posefulness and goodness in the uni
verse. how are we to reconcile the dis
integration and extinction Of that
precious personality at death? Man
must pass through the crucible Of
LIES agonies before his true char
acter Is refined, his inner personality
perfected, and then, when he Is ready
to fulfill his destiny he Is cut down.
What waste, what cruelty! Consider
the thousands upon thousands that
struggle through life In misery and
grief, in darkness and confusion,
whose lives are as bleak as gray
autumnal day, devoid Of sunshine,
who are the victims OF injustice. OF
persecution, and of physical ailments
and impediments; the countless
myriads Of lives that never experience
happiness, whose souls are never lift
ed UP, whose personalities, through
no fault Of their own are stunted and
crippled because Of lack Of opportu-
nifty and because of ignorance.
God, all-sustaining, omnipotent,
omniscient, loving and just, cannot be
Indifferent to the injustices of fate.
The religious man, therefore, Is sure
that somehow, somewhere. sometime,
the all merciful God will give the
stunted souls chance; that some
how, somewhere, all the wrongs will
be righted and all the roses will
bloom again. 1t cannot be otherwise.
OF necessity, there must be a here
after, where, liberated from the temp
tations and tortures of the flesh and
freed from the shackles of earthly
travail, the soul of man will exist and
receive its due need.
Says the Talmud, "As for the
world-to-come, there Is no eating nor
drinking, but the righteous, in beatific
radiance, with their crowns on their
heads, will be content that the inef-
fable joy of being close to the Pres
ence is theirs. What this Joy Is no
eye hath seen, for no man can see
God and live"
But even though we cannot picture
this incorporal existence any more
than the creeping caterpillar can
imagine the glories that await 1t in
the last phase Of its life's cycle as
beautiful butterfly among the wind
blown flowers, still we know that
justice will be done. Even though we
grope and stumble in the shadow of
the valley Of death, we know that
our Redeemer liveth. Pierced, and
bleeding in the depths, our faith re-
mains firm, and, with the exultant
Psalmist, we proclaim: II shall not
die but live and declare the works OF
the Lord"

It appears certain that the domain
Of science begins with the discovery
of natural forces and the knowledge
of their behavior and that it ends
with the perfecting Of technique
adequate for their manipulation and
utilization. Touching Upon the inner
meaning and understanding OF real
ity, science, the child of reason, has
nothing to say. When scientists
speculate on life's ultimates they
often mistake their personal opinions
for the voice Of pure science. As for
scientific theory, is it not funda-
mentally just an instrument for fur
ther reSearch-a spade, so to speak,
enabling mans mind to dig about
the roots Of the bafiling mystery OF
things? What is beyond the veil Of
phenomena passes human under
standing.
The intellect is only one OF the
facets Of the spirit within us. The
great religious spirits Of the race,
keenly aware of the time-and-space
limits of reason have never permitted
the jack Lanterns of intellectualism
to guide them in their quest for life's
redemptive truths. The pillar of light
of their pilgrimage to the Mountain
of the Lord was the intuitive wisdom
and mystic insight which the humility
and love Of their consecrated lives
released in the depths Of the soul.
In ethical Righteousness and moral
and spiritual pursuits they found the
all-encompassing power of faith-the
ladder of Jacobs vision that links
Heaven and earth, the visible and the
invisible, the temporal and the
eternal. THE righteous lives by his
faith"
In the faith of the righteous we
find the Enthusiastically clear answer
to the question of the immortality of
the soul.
To begin with, we know with an
absolute knowing that transcends all
knowledge that the self of man Is
real, that his personality Is distinct
and unique. This certainty which
comes to all mankind is at the bottom
of all our values that dif1erentiate
man from the brute and the spiritual
order from the tyranny of nature. It
is the foundation Of all religion. It
is the starting point of all philosophy.

Capital Sidelights

30 and 40 degrees below zero. Within
two years after arriving at the Capitol,
Mr.. Collier became chief page. He was
postmaster from 1921 to 1888 and by
habitual courtesy and zeal to be OF

The Third Fleet in Action

of French Indo-China has not yet
been completed, but If it continues
as auspiciously as it has started, the
Japanese will have suffered a mas
sacre likely to leave their troops on
Luzon starving for reinforcements.
According to reports from Pearl
Harbor, Admiral Halsey's objective
is made up of -four huge conveys"
massing along the coast between
Saigon and Camranh Bay and OBJ
viously scheduled for movement
northward through the South China
Sea to support Yamashita's armies
against General MacArthurs. On
the first day of the attack, appar-
emily taking the enemy by complete
surprise, aircraft from the Third
Fleets carriers, besides smashing at
land targets, sank twenty-five ships
and damaged thirteen others, the
sinkings including cruiser. several
destroyers and twelve transports
loaded with troops.
In relation to -four huge conveys"
twenty-five ships are perhaps not
very many, but they constitute a
spectacular one-day toll, and, since
Admiral Halsey's operations are con-
tinuing, the figures are likely to in
crease steadily until the Third
Fleets job is done. 1t seems quite
possible, indeed, that the conveys
may be virtually obliterated, for the
enemy appears to have such little
heavy naval strength to protect
them and has so far put up such
amazingly weak resistance in the air
that our carrier planes, surface ships
and submarines may we'll be able to
make the waters between Indo-
China and the Philippines a grave
yard for every major vessel in the
great japanese formation.
That the Third Fleet thus may
score an immense victory in the
South China Sea is the more re-
markable when we consider that
only last Monday it was striking
with deadly effect at Formosa, more
than 1000 miles north of Saigon.
On that day, at a cost to itself of
only four aircraft, it shattered nu-
merous important ground targets,
destroyed thirty-seven Japanese
planes, damaged sixty-one others
and sank thirty-th three ships (mostly
small ones, damaging an additional
eighty or more Then it turned
southwark, and by Thursday its
present attack on the Indo-China
conveys was going full blast-a turn
around that must set a record of
some sort for versatility and range
in offensive operations at sea.
But such feat is more or less
typical of the Third Fleet, which did
pretty much the same thing not
many weeks ago when it swung from
one great engagement off Northern
Luzon to give help to the Seventh
Fleet near Leyte Gulf in the Second
Battle of the Philippine Sea. If it
destroys the conveys around Saigon
and Camranh Bay, General Mac
Arthur's liberation of the Philip
pines will probably be completed
much more swiftly than was thought
possible heretofore-a prospect of
the gravest import to the japanese.
Now, as never before, it seems i'm
perative for Hirohito's badly bat
tered navy to come out and fight
with all the strength still left to it;
for unless it wants to lose all of the
Pacific by default, it cannot hesitate
any longer, even though it knows
that the American sea power wait
ing for it is made up of much more
than Admiral Halseys Third Fleet,
which in itself is apparently much
too much.

7ervicemen find themselves victims
of discrimination, he recommends
that they make prompt, intelligent
appeal to proper authorities rather
than waste their efforts with aim
less protests.

white people to blame the entire

General Directions
For Pruning Plants, Trees
BY ISABEL FUCKER
Detroit Times Garden Editor

NOW WE come to the how
Of pruning. Before deciding how.
we must 60 back to the reasons
why, discussed in the second and
third articles OF this series, from
which we will get the particu-
lars Of each pruning Job.
The generalities are very
simple. All cuts should be made
close to and parallel with the
branch that is left on the tree
or shrub. II a shoot Is cut to
the ground, make a straight
clean cut as close to the surface
as possible.
In shaping a plant, cut back
to just above a bud that is
pointing in the direction you
wish the branch TO grow.
1t is very easy TO see which
bud to leave IL you have the
general shape desired in mind.
And IL you don't know the
proper form of the plant, don't
prime 10 shape It unless you
first find a picture of II in
book or catalog. No one wants
to look at a freak.
Hedge pruning should be done
with due regard for future
growth of the plants. The lower
part of a hedge will die out II
sun cannot reach IL. Therefore
instead Of keeping the top wide
Detroit evening times., 1945-04-07

and the bottom narrow, reverse
this and shape the hedge so the
top Is narrower than the bot
tom. Thus the lower leaves will
receive sun as well as the upper
ones and all will be well.
In pruning large branches
from trees, II single cut were
made from top 10 bottom close
TO the trunk or the branch to be
left, the weight Of the branch
might tear the bark off the
tree, causing irreparable dam
age.
So the way to take off a large
branch is first 10 remove part
of il, the main weight, by cut
ting several feet out and from
the bottom up, then finishing by
completing the cut from the top
down.
This process is then repeated.
bottom. cut first, close TO the
trunk and there Is thus no
danger of tearing bark.
No one can teach all the
kinds of pruning and all the
pruning tricks that there are
without being able to see each
individual operation, but we
hope that this series has an
swered a number of your ques-
tions and given you sound
basis for your own pruning this
season.
