Colleges Preparing

Tremendous increases in enrolment in tho

Thousands will try to resume their work in

young men were taken away for sterner work
There will be the incentive to make IN the
lost time and fit themselves for peaceful pur.

the lost time, lost opportunities. War has
simply taken away some of the years Of their
lives.
College and university executives realize this
and are clamoring before legislative appro-
priations committees for increased sums in
order to expand their facilities Five institu.
items in South Carolina ask for combined
increase of twenty-three million dollars. These
include the University, the Medical college,
Clemson the Negro A. and NJ college and
Winthrop the last college for women. They
frankly say they expect to be swamped with
students.
The G. I. Bill OF rights will accelerate this
movement from uniform to college. Provision
is made for assisting the veteran in getting
his rights, and the right to get an education
from which he was rudely snatched is one
of the foremost. We shall see college enroll

cabin was heated, and even at
high altitude it became almost too
hot.
1t was after midnight when we
could sense by the motors tone
and the pressure in our ears that
we were coming down. We couldn't
feel that we were turning but we
were, for now the moon would be
high on one side of us, and a
few moments later it WOULD be
low on the other side of us.
And then suddenly there were
lights smack underneath us, lights
of what seemed a good sized little
town, and then at last Wer were on
the ground in an unbelievably
busting airport, teeming with men
and planes and lights. The place
was Kwajalei.
That's not hard to pronounce if
you don't try too hard. Just say
"kwa-juh-leen.'' It's in the Mar
shall Islands. There, during last
March and April, American SOL
diers and Marines killed 10000
Japanese, and opened our island
stepping-stone path straight across
the mid-Pacific.
Even today our Seabees can't
dig trench for a sewer pipe
without digging up dead Japanese.
But even SO the island is trans
formed, as we SO rapidly trans
form all our islands that are de-
stroyed in the taking. It is a great
air base now.
Naval officers met our plane de-
spite the hour, loaded us into
the jeeps, and drove us a few
hundred yards to a mess hall. A
cool night breeze was blowing, and
it seemed wonderful to be on the
ground again, even such scant and
sorrowed ground as this.
For an hour we sat around a
white-linened table and drank cof-
fee and slipped iced fruit juice.
You would hardly have known you
were not in America, And then
we were off again, to fly through
the sightless night, westward and
on westward.

crosses upon soldiers for heroism;
the boon we crave, o wise Father
in Heaven, is that we may wear
the cross Of faith and self-denlal
within our hearts. May we know
that in silently taking up the
cross of service and sacrifice we
are fulfilling the command OF
Christ, and proving ourselves HIS
loyal servants. We pray for grace
to endure and to overcome, In
all the small tests that this war
has brought into our daily lives,
and in the greater surrenders Of
life and of loved ones, may we
bear our crosses as imposed BY
the Saviour who was Himself
cross-bearer, and was at last up
borne upon a cross. We would be
sharers of the suffering OF cur

the weight of wars woe, So would
we be good soldiers of our Coun'

Even more important, they
were determined to keep their

source of great embarrassment to
de Gaulle. The central govern

But after de Gaulle's visit to

Ironically enough, he used al

Socialist, who had been urging
disarmament in the face of bitter
Communist opposition. The Com
munist leaders in the FIJI fell in
with the new line as laid down
by Thorez, and for the first time
disarmament of the underground
army became possible.

of resources and utilities. Ardent
Socialists such AS Tixier wanted
the process of naturalization to
begin at once.
Pleven, who seems to have the
backing Of de Gaulle, argued that
it should wait on the decision of
the people themselves, as ex-
pressed at elections. This, the
argument goes, is the democratic
way. Thorez took the side of eau
ton and delay in the controversy.
Thereby one of the principal pres
sures behind naturalization was
removed.
Certain of de Gaulle's followers
had worked out complete pro-
gram of specialization to be put
into effect almost immediately
after the provisional government
should take over. This group in
cluded not only Socialists, but
former business men disillusioned
with what seemed to them the
ineffectiveness and corruption of
the old system. These men are
now angry at what they interpret
as deliberate stalling on the part
of the de Gaulle government to
prevent naturalization.
1t may have been partly to
make them happier that Minister
OF Industrial Production Robert
Lacoste last week announced that
France was following the Russian
system OF state-managed economy
in an effort to cope with the grave
economic crisis. Lacoste said that
Individual producers were incapa-
BILE Of deciding what the country
needs most. and that therefore
the state would direct industry
under provisional commissioners
responsible to the minister of pro-
duction. If the system worked in
the war, it would be used after
the war, Lacoste said.

his war is the worst and the most

PARIS-Char-es de Gaulle, the
man who never smiles, has Sc
cured his position in France with
extraordinary fineese and skill.
When he escaped from fallen
France nearly five years ago, no
one except possibly de Gaulle
himself could have foreseen that
he would become the acknowl-
edged leader of the French peo-
pie. The political equation that
has buttressed his power is one
of the most fascinating of our
time. 1t illustrates all the COM
plexities of world politics in an
era of complications.
1t turns essentially on Soviet
Russia. Without the recent Rus
sian-French accord and the re-
suits that have flowed from it,
de Gaulle's position today might
be much less secure.
With the underground resistance
movement in France, the Commu-
nists supplied the important lead
ersnip. Theirs was very often the
initiative and courage which
made possible the large scale
sabotage that in turn helped ma
terially to prepare the way for
the invasion.
When France was liberated,
these Communists within the
French Forces of the Interior
were insistent on recognition of
their rights to power and deter
