Caution In Balloon Stories

The Censorship Office has dis
tributed a joint statement by the
War and Navy Departments re-
questing editors to exerc S e
caution in handling stories of Jap
balloons. Argument is that "the

create hysteria, and at the same
time try the range. There is no
occasion for anyone to sprea d
panic. The balloons have accom-
plished no property d a m g e

war VETS NOT DiffY

II anybody is worried about
the mind or the N o a Of the
American fighting man he does
not know the American fighting
man very we'll and he b as not
read very carefully the reports
coming back from the fighting
fronts.
Montana's Senator Wheeler
had an experience in Rome which
illustrates our point. Senator
Wheeler. tog ether with other
members of the interstate COM
mittee was almost floored by the
questions asked by the doughboy
in a forum at q Red cross club.
The type of questions asked by
the GI's indicated clearly the
condition of tn cir minds. The
questions showed that the fight
ing men had been doing some
serious thinking on the complex
problems facing the world in the
wake of the war in Europe.
The talkfest with the Senators
is an excellent indication that
there isn't very much wrong with
their minds.
Those gloomy individuals who
have been predicting that dis
charged fighting men will have
to be put under the care of
psychiatrists seem to be the ones
who need mental attention. not
the soldiers.
For evidence concerning tn e
morals of the American fighting
men, we'll take you to the Fed
eral bureau of Investigation.
Edward E. Conway. head of the
New York office of the FBI. said
in q recent talk that the postwar
criminal will be = product Of ju-
veniIe delinquency and not Of
military training.
As q matter of fact, the score
sheet shows that the servicee-
men, having travelled widely and
associated with men from every
walk Of life, is bettr informed on
national and world affairs than
the aversge civilian.
There has been no scandal in
military circles to compare with
the black marketing and the tax
lodging Of the civilians for whom
the doughboys have been fight
ing. bleeding and dying.
Those who would cast aspers-
ions about the soldiers morals
h ad best look first at their own
