 ''I have been thinking that this war will not last. America and Japan are two of the worlds strong countries, but ever since the Meiji era, Japan has been closely related to the United States and trade has fourished between the two coun- tries, has it not?

Providence

The hand Of Providence has appeared 50
er.ouentlv in the war that one cannot see
how there can be many disbelievers when
the great conflict is over.
Dailv. examples OF miraculous escapes OF
sery;cemen from apparently sure death come
to light Especially has this been true when
the survivors have lived to tell OF new tor
lures. new atrocities at the hands OF bar
barous enemy The evidence they give Will
be most valuable when the time comes 70
reckon with these criminals.
Latest example is the escape OF five Amer
lean soldiers out OF approximately 1,0OO VINO
persisted last October when japanese prls-
on ship was sunk after being torpeoded IN
the China sea. The men had gone through
30 months of hell as prisoners after the fall
of the Philippines and were apparently beng
taken to the Asistic mainland.
Providence first appeared when the torpedo
opened up the densely-packed ship and al
lowed many of the men to walk from her
sloping decks into the sea. But this look at
freedom was short lived as japanese destroy
ers attacked them when they cried for help.
OF the 1900 only the five survived the
ordeal.
They soon felt the hand of Divine guidance,
however A lifeboat from the torpedoed ship
dr;fted by and they climbed aboard. Soon
box floated by and one Of them pulled it in
It held a sail and mast that fitted the boat
Again Providence interviewed. They drifted the
rest Of that night. The next morning, one OF
the Jap destroyers cruised within 100 yards
OF their boat but they feigned exhaustion and
were not molested. This escape, too, could be
classed as an act Of Providence. Then they
broke out the sail and headed for what they
hoped was China One day they Landed IN
friendly territory and eventually they reach
ed an Army Air Force camp whose COM
mander soon got them aboard an air Trans
port that took them to New York and WASH
inston.
Today, their life, in comparison with mat
while prisoners, is heaven.
Deep morals may be drawn from the story.
For one, it may offer new hope for men re-
ported missing in action, may strengthen the
belief that they will eventually return. The
determination to live and resourcefulness Of
these five soldiers were no greater than that
of hundreds of others who have gone through
somewhat similar situations a d survived.
The lesson is that hope must never be aban-
doned, that there is always a Guiding hand
that often reduces the most tremendous odds
against man to nothing.

Two Jirna

OF all campaigns in the Pacific, the ter
rifle battle now raging for conquest Of Two
lima appears to have failed the most in
catching the public's imagination and acknow-
ledgment of its importance in not only taking
the war to Japan but keeping it there on a
24-hour basis.
While other islands have been stepping
stones, this is the first doorstep on the Nip
ponese front porch.
Perhaps Two Jima has not received the
advance publicity given Guam, Saipan and
other triunphs. Then, the assault comes at
time when the great conflict in Europe, with
mileage to Berlin the principal topic, looms
large in the overall war spotlight.
What will the capture Of Two lima mean?
The answer is simple: Milk-run bombing Of
Tokyo and many other war production centers
on the Japanese mainland. The enemy's in
ner defense bastion in the Volcano islands is
but $50 miles from the Japanese capital. In
be within range of American bombers based
on its eight square miles. Its capture would
relieve Saipan, Tinian and Guam, the latter
now Admiral Ninitz' new base, from air raids
which the enemy has been making since we
seized them.
And when the Rising Sun is hauled down
there, the Japanese will have lost mighty
valuable listening post, plus a station for in
terceptors to harass our Superfortresses en-
route from their bases in the Marianas to
blast the enemy's home.
That's why Two lima is so important, why
We must have it.
But it will not be at an easy price. The
Japs have been there for years, preparing
for such blow as they are receiving from the
Fourth and Fifth Marines. They are holed
up in literally thousands of natural hideouts,
therefore our casualties will be fairly high
Marine commanders report it is the hardest
fight in the Corps long history, comparing
the campaign to such bloody ones as Tarawa
in the Gilberts and Pelelu in the Palau is
lands.
The current campaign, with its fine prize
bears out what has been said all along That
is: The Pacific war will become harder and
harder, with corresponding increases in los
ses, as We near the heart Of Japan But it is
the only way. There is no short cut to VIC
tory, although Two lima will mean one of
the biggest strategic advantages we have won
in many, many months

Important Portfolio

Belgiun's new premier also took another
portfolio, as is often customary in formation
OF new cabinets during crises. Often the new
Mr.. Big in cabinet becomes in addition to
premier, minister of war or even shoulders
several administrative tasks, taking in the
navy too if there is one. AS side line he may
also become boss of agriculture. But the Bel
gan chief picked out for his extra work the
portfolio Of coal
Just now that is one Of the most important
things in most countries that find winter ar
irving regularly and lasting for about half

new administrator has an unerring sense of
