Meat Substitutes

We are not quite reduced to synthetics, as
the Germans were under Hitler, but the OPA-
created food shortage has led the New York
State Emergency Food Commission to issue
a booklet listing fourteen combinations to
''pinch-hit'' for meat.
Among them these could be substituted for
a quarter-pound serving of meat Or chicken.
They are said to contain the equivalent amount
Of protein, iron and vitamin B, found in meat:
Two eggs, a halfcup of cottage cheese and
half-cup green leafy vegetable, two cups OF
milk and che cup cooked whole-grain cereal,
fourth-pound Goldfish and cup of milk, two
cups milk and one and-a-half tablespoons mo-
1asses.
And while the American people are putting
up with substitutes, the cattle on a thousand
hills roam at will and unmolested. What a
demonstration of inefficiency the food ad-
ministration has given from the very start
of the war.

ALessOn For Japan

The most significant thing about the war Ill
Germany was not that the German armies
were beaten They were defeated in 1918, and
had been defeated before, throughout incl
centuries of war-making.
What counts most is that their defeat this
time was on their own SOIL
To be sure, it started in Africa, continued in
France and the Low Countries. But the 1lnai
blow was struck in Germany itself, and for
wears to come the Germans, High Command
and all, must submit to be ruled by the
powers that knocked them out at home.
The land that Goering assured Hitler's dupes
could never be conquered is in ruins Never
before has nation equally well armed per
capita and in proportion to its resources been
so completely laid waste.
Whatever the aims of individual Germans
may now be or what plans they may be max
ing for later wars, the lesson OF defeat IN the
fatherland will not soon be forgotten by the
German people or their descendants.
Whereas they have previously been Wiling
enough to follow false leaders on the strength
of promises impossible to fulfill, they are
likely henceforth to weigh carefully any pro-
posal to so to war for conquest And without
support of the people no German, however
capable he may be as rabble rouser, could
lay the foundation for war as Hitler did when
he came to power.
From this we advance to the war in the
Pacific, and take opportunity to declare our
belief that as good results could be obtained by
reducing the Japanese home islands to a state
closely resembling that of Germany. BY no
other means, we believe, can the truth that
they cannot violate the sanctity of free gov
ernments without being destroyed themselves
be brought home to the Japanese, from the
mikado to the hunblest worker.
The final breakdown of japanese resistance
probably will have to be achieved on the
Asiatic mainland. But it is reasonably certain
that complete defeat at home, the destruc-
ton of cities and resources such as happened
in Germany, would go far to convince all
Japanese of the uselessness of further mill
ta~y effort for centuries to come.

Congressional Medalist

After reading that Captain Charles P. Muir
Medal of Honor, a member of the Star-NeWs
staff remarked Wilmington has a Sergeant
York of its own And so it has, for Captain
Murray achieved as notable success in battle
as the hero of the former World wa, and
suffered wounds besides.
Captain Murray began to make his presence
felt back III high school days when in his
senior year, he was manager of the boxing
team. Indicted into the infantry at Fort Bragg,
he won his commission in seven months. Later,
in action, he routed 200 Germans single-handeo
in France and broke up the enemy counter
commander, though only first lieutenant,
he personally killed 20 SIS troops, captured
ten more in their foxholes, and destroyed
many others with mortar fire.
His citation adds: although seriously
wounded by an enemy hand grenade, he con-
tinued forward until the rout of the enemy
was complete
Captain Murray's modesty is no less i'm
pressive than his battle achievements. His
wife learned of his promotion only when she
noted that the return address on an envelope
which arrived the same day the Star-News
notified he~ of his award showed him a cap
tain. Nor had he, in previous letters, dwelt on
his wounds.
Captain Murray is entitled to a discharge.
Whether he will accept it is not yet known.
Having done so well, Wlningtonians naturally
hope that he will and give his fellowtownsmen
opportunity TO celebrate his return fittingly.

Postoffice Pay Raise

The House of Representatives has approved
a raise in pay for postoffice employees. The
Postoffice Salary Reconsideration BILL passed
by 361 to l vote, would add $500 year to
the base pay of postal workers in lieu of the
present "cost of living bonus of $780,
The Senate will be doing it's duty toward
the overworked and underpaid postoffice staff
if it votes favorably upon the bill. Saying there
is little doubt the Senate will approve the
proposal, the New York Times adds:
Salaries of postal employees for many
years have been substandard by any formula,
including the Little Steel formula. The post
office, despite the fact that it is at present
operating al surplus, finds it hard to get
competent people for the money it is allowed
to pay. Postal workers are among the most
faithful and industrious of the civil service,
and the proposed small increase would be
the first they have had in twenty years"

Sometimes we said Gee. I wish

didn't. Mostly we talked b L t
those Joes who we definitely knew
still were around. 1t was e S
complicated that way.
Inevitably we got into arguments
over where C company was on
such-and-such a night, because
those are the debates which will
keep the war alive long after it
has become boresome to all those
who were not there and to many
of those who were.
Sitting here in the middle of this
half-wrecked German town pecking
away at a typewriter I can hear
sounds of revelry all around.
Over to the north someone is
playing an accordion and the men
who sit around him know only the
chorus of the song he is playing
for they are silent until he hits
that point and then they all join
in. West of this bomb shattered

It has been going on for weeks

And although everybody is glad

feeling of something too soon to

There is little good about war
but the companionship of good guys
caught in the same grinder is one

Indeed, the evil that destroyed Lidice we

ians are denied the responsibility
which the British, who retain it,
are unable to meet. For what pur-
pose do the British, with our sup
port, regain control of Italy and
put off making peace? No, as in
Germany, to prevent the renewal
of aggression or even to exti~pate
Fascism. Italy is not a military
problem, and as for Fascism-the
Italians are at least as likely to
exterminate it as any one else,
given the dignity of their political
freedom and the material means
to make life tolerable.
If what we are worrying about
is the spread of Communism into
western Europe, the sooner we de-
clare our desire to restore the Ital-
ian state, and to make peace with
Italy, the better. A new American
policy toward Italy is very much
needed, and the constructive policy
is to set in motion the machinery
for peace conference to end the
war with Italy.
We need also to move positively
ito bring about a settlement of the
Franco-British differences. The
Syrian affair, despite all the ap-
pearances and the assurances, is
not an isolated dispute between
France and the Arab states. There
is long Franco-British history
behind this lamentable affair, and
we shall do no good to any one by
making snap judgments and TAX
ing sides.
The armed conflict had to be
quelled. But beyond that the true
role of the United States is to press
for agreement between France and
their long-standing imperial diff
Britain, not only in respect to
ferences in the Middle East but
to their much more serious diff
1ai' ences about the western frontier
OF Germany and the security sys-
tenn Of western Europe. These lat
ter differences require a prompt
settlement if political stability is to
be restored in Europe, and If the
Allied government of Germany is
to have a decent chance of sue
ceeding. Moreover, a settlement of
their vital differences about Ger

differences in a very different per-

That this was the right view, the
one which took account of the great
realities and of the broad interests
of all the nations, there can be no
doubt at all.
In diplomacy as in war, the ini-
tiative, if it is wisely conceived
and astutely calculated, is the
best way of avoiding having to
make an unending series of dis
agreeable and doubtful choices. In
Germany the President took the
initiative, and of it one can say
not only so far so good, but by
taking this positive line he will, no
matter what the inevitable diff
culties to come, find them less
dangerously difficult than if he had
not taken it.
Agreement will not be reached
smoothly and easily in Berlin. Eut
that will be nothing to the trouble
we were in for if, before the next
winter comes, we were not firmly
established in Berlin and had not
gotten to working arrangements
among the four allies.
American initiative, of similar
kind, is strongly Indicated in re-
spect to Italy and in respect to
British relations. Mr.. Sum.
ner Welles has just published a
most important article on Italy.
His essential point can be summed
up by saying that it is high time
to make peace with Italy, to fiz
her frontiers, to arrange for the
evacuation of the Allied armies,
to restore her sovereignty, and to
give material and moral support tc
the liberal and democratic parties
in their effort, to recreate a free
Italy.
Just what the British policy in
Italy is, no one has ever explained
intelligently. But it gives the i'm
preston of being an effort to
maintain h e control of Italy
though Britain has not the means
to make Italy livable and work.

1t is not much of a secret that
the entry of General Eisenhower
into Berlin and the setting Up of
the Allied Military Government
might have been postponed much
longer if President Truman had
not given diplomatic backing to the
views of the Army.
Many arguments were advanced
for delay in carrying out the agree
ments which call for the four-poWer
control commission in Berlin. the
retirment of the British and Ameri-
can armies which are in the Soviet
zone of occupation, and the dis
solution of S. H. A. E. F. There
were practical administrative diff
ficulties. There were disputes about
the boundaries of the zones, parti-
cularly the Franco-British. There
were humanitarian considerations
affecting "stateless" persons in the
zone which the British and Ameri-
can armies are to evacuate. And
there were general considerations
to the effect that to maintain
combined Anglo-American force
would give the Western powers
more bargaining power with the
Soviets.
The opposite view was that as
we were not keeping an army in
Europe to fight Russia, it was silly
provocation to think that we could
impress the Russians by any argu-
ment based on military force. The
fact was that in order to fight ia
pan and to release the troops which
had seen long service, we are in
the next few months reducing our
forces in Europe to a relatively
smll army of occupation. 1t was
extremely dangerous not to be in
direct personal contact with the
Russians through the control coun-
