Letters to The Star
Mr.. Merrill Tells Why He Favors
Constitution Avenue Parades

To the Editor of The Star:
I note your editorial in The Star re-
garding the use of Pennsylvania avenue
as a parade route.
1t has been my hope that Constitution
avenue could be used generally rather
than Pennsylvania avenue, because we
can give much better service to the pub
lie before and after the parade if we
are permitted freedom of movement on
Pennsylvania avenue.
1t seems to me also that the public is
better accommodated on Constitution
avenue than they are on Pennsylvania
avenue. Steps leading to the public
buildings along Constitution avenue pro-
vide excellent observation posts.
AS I understand the original plan for
the Capitol Building, the east front waS
intended as the front Of the building,
and certainly the area there available
for spectators is better than is available
on the west front. Constitution avenue
leads very conveniently to the east front,
whereas route down Pennsylvania ave-
nue. comes to an end at the Peace Monu-
ment unless diverted to Constitution
avenue at it's crossing with PENNSYLVANIA
avenue.
While have much respect for tradi-
ton, I really feel that the public is bet
ter served in this matter by use of Con-
stitution avenue rather than Pennsyl-
vania avenue. E. D. MERRILL.

Thinks Experts Too Late

To the Editor of The Star:
In view Of the fact that I have been
definitely aware of the strategic value of
Okinawa Island since July, 1914. and
cognizant of the fact that this island
was definitely the keystone that held to-
gether the entire japanese Empire, I
must admit that I have been reading
David Lawrence's several columns on
Okinawa with great interest.
However, in reading Mr.. Lawrence's
comments upon this so called Okinawa
tragedy, which I presume is based on
cognizance Of military affairs by Mr..
Lawrence and the opinion of military
experts at his command, can reach but
one conclusion.
Just where were these so called mill
tary experts who now are endeavorinp
to tell us, through Mr. Lawrence, how
the Okinawa campaign should have
been handled during the time prepara-
tions were being made for the Okinawa
campaign and during the course of that
campaign?
Their opinion, If of any value should
have been offered before the campaign
started.
When preparing the Okinawa cam
paign, I am sure that both the Armv
and the Navy were we'll aware of the de-
fensive advantages that the enemy pos

Today Britain once more rules over
Singapore, and Mr.. Churchills S prophetic
forecast is fulfilled. There never was
any question but that sooner or later
the enemy would be driven from this
great stronghold, and that the Union

message to the people of Singapore

loyalty and affection between myself
and my Far Eastern peoples have never

tanned in darkness and suffering.

long and heavy, but it is a work in
which We should be united in pride and
in confidence. sure in the faith that Sc
curity and happiness will, with Gods
help, be fully restored"
That faith will be fully shared bv the
British subjects the world over who
realize that the empire is farther from

history
