A S THE war in Europe came
"A TO an end Allied moves ac-
celerated for the defeat Of Japan.
American military authority
contemplates the building of our
army in the Far East 10 as
great a total as a 100000 men.
The greater part Of these men
will come from the European
theater, others will be the final
recruits inducted into this war.
Two million American soldiers
will be discharged by reason Of
long battle service, wounds, de-
bility, or family responsibilities.
They will be released both
from the European and the
Pacific theaters and will return
to us with honor.
The size of the force remain

patton has not been announced,

Fifteenth American Army.
THE American Navy is still
l. building ships for an aug
mented Pacific fleet.
The British have created q
strong task force in the Indian
Ocean, under Lord Mountbatten
and the bulk of their navy may
follow.
5 There may be exaggeration in
the extent and size of these pro-
jected movements. for there is
much to indicate that Japan
cannot make a prolonged resist
ance and that her fighting spirit
is rapidly deteriorating.
The japanese may collapse
without the full participation Of
the immense American and
British forces designated to
overwhelm them.
It should now be clear that
the early defeat of Japan be-
comes possible. by reason OF

THERE is no reason why the
Il American people should sub
NIT 10 faxed news and govern
ment propaganda.
Freedom of the press involves
the principle that the reporter
gets his news as il breaks, un-
censored and uncontrolled.
No government news report
need ever be accepted as the
exact truth or even as approx
mating the truth, as II is bound
to be slanted to serve the par
ticular purpose of a government
al a particular time.
News stories issued by such
agencies as OWL and Tass should
always be discounted. as the au-
thors OF those stories are gov
eminent employees.
Their only value lies in the
fact that they let the reader.
know what their governments
want the readers to think.
That gives us an idea Of the
line the government is pursuing.
But none OF IT is necessarily
true.

~ old Russian doctrine OF

sian people and II they are dumb
enough 10 submit 10 a Dictator
ship that is their business.
But this is clear: Russia con-
quered no country in Europe
exclusively by Russian might.
In every instance, she came into
possession Of her victories with
the aid OF American lend-lease,
food, clothing. munitions, money
and machinery.
All these victories are United
Nations victories on balance.
II might even. from a strictly
bookkeeping standpoint. be said.
that we paid the Russians
heavily for their support.
What right then has the Rus
sian 10 exclude the American
press from territories which are
in United Nations possession
through what at least are
American-Russian joint military
activities?
Our government should de-
mand that the truth be known
and that our reporters be ad-
mitted freely and on American
not Russian certification.
If we haven't the gumption
to do that, why not cut of
lend-lease and see where the
Russians land?
We can do without them:

that 1t delayed the operations
for regaining Burma, hut this
feat has now been achieved by
their Fourteenth Army under
Gen. Slim.
A year ago it was entirely on
the defensive, battling to hold
Manipur and relieve Bengal
from the threat of japanese in
vasion.
In recent months of this dry
season this British Indian army
emerged from India, crossed
difficult mountains, descended
the Chindwin River, and in
battles in which the Japanese
armies were completely OUT
fought, has taken Mandalay,
the whole long valley of the
Irawadi and the great port of
Rangoon.
IRON this position Allied
l. help can now 60 northwasd
to the Chinese, and an opera
ton can be launched for regain
ing the Malay Peninsula, the
city Of Singapore, and the
Netherlands Indies.
This British army has ad-
vanced from India over a dis
tance of a thousand miles,
through difficult terrain, to de-
stroy an enemy force that was
consolidated in Burma, had the
advantage of interior position,
a railroad line of supply in to
Siam, and that a year ago
seemed almost impregnable.
Great Britain and the United
States thus possess two mag
nificent forward positions. the
one continental, the other in
sular.
The Burma position may ex-
pand into a rapid war for the
liberation of all southeastern
Asia and the Indian Archi-
pelago.
The Philippine position, with
Two Jima and Okinawa secured
as advanced air bases, makes
possible direct thrusts to Japan
or to the Yellow Sea, q body Of
water that opens the territory
Of China, Manchuria and Korea.
The prospects are so unde-
niably good that they promise
a destruction OF Japan within
the period of a single year.

and British strength from the
battle in Europe.
There were sharp critics OF
any offensive action in the west
ern Pacific until Germany had
been overthrown.
Those who supported Allied
offensives against Japan, even
though the war in Europe was
reaching its critical and decisive
phase, may now find their justi-
fication.
The concentration of over
whelming streng against
Japan would not be possible
now, except for the fact that
two great positions have been
won simultaneously by the
United States and by Gre t
Britain. They are the Philip
pines and Burma.
Without these ample staging
areas there would be no suitable
positions to which American
and British soldiers could be
transported.
THE Philippines b com e an
l. advanced base from which
all subsequent army operations
can be launched against China
and Japan.
Our navy, by most daring and
brilliant operations, has carried
our naval and air power to the
very center OF the struggle.
1t has secured ports and land
fields which are indispensable
for Japan's overthrow.
It is of the highest signifi-
canoe that positions have been
gained already which make pos
sible an early finish of Japan.
Had they not. been won, the
war with Japan would now be
only at its beginning.
The same attitude of imme-
date readiness has been won for
British participation by the re-
capture of Burma and its indis-
pensable port of Rangoon.
British arms were so absorbed
by the close-at-hand danger in
Europe and the Mediterranean,

BETTER HEALTH
