Troop Shift TO the Pacific
Biz Job With Human Side
Need to Finish the Fight Against Japanese
Prevents Wholesale Release of Vets;
Move will Tax U. S. Shipping.
BY BAUKHAGE
Ne,vs Analyst and Commentator.

There is no question that the suf-
fering and the repercussions of the
lengthy separation of young men
from their normal life will become
greater, now that We Day has come
and gone. The army high command
knows this and that is why so much
time has been spent on taking every
possible step to minimize the suffer-
ing which this slash that cuts across
the heartstrings of Americas social
life, will cause.
I happen to know that busy with
the terrific burden of bringing Eu-
ropes war to a successful termina-
ton and beginning the final portion
of chapter two, General Marshall
himself for many long months has
spent hour after hour of his crowd
ed days and interrupted nights
working on this problem.

WNU Service, Union Trust Building,
Washington, d. C.
The American vocabulary has
been enriched by new word which
has burdened the notebooks OF war
department stenographers in Wash
ington for long time. When l was
in San Francisco saw its meaning
graphically illustrated.
The word is ''redeployment." No,
I didn't make a typographical err
ror. Unemployment we have heard
about before. ReDeployment is diff
ferent. And in that word, as in
Hauptmann's "tear," can sparkle
"all the Joy and all the sorrow OF
the world.'''
This new word isn't in any die
tionary. And in all the echoing acres
Of the Pentagon I could find no Of
fetal definition Of it but in its cur
rent application it simply means
shifting lot of American boys out
OF the European theater of war
where the curtain has gone down.
That process is causing many a
headache in the Pentagon. 1t will
cause many a heartache at home
and abroad. 1t will cause some hap
piness, too.
For the boys and the families of
the soldiers and sailors who are cast
for the second act in the tragedy OF
World War II (and that is most of
thenD redeployment means heart
aches. For the others it means hap
piness. But whether they 60 back
to Main street and take up the plow-
share or the pen, the hammer or the
school book, or whether they go on
to fresh batt1efields, it is a head
ache as well as a heartache for the
high command.

Everybody Must
Play the Game

There are some phases of this
shift Of our main war effort from
one side of the world to the other
which many do not realize but for
which they must be prepared. In
the first place, it will be no easy
task for those who have fought the
good fight in Europe to be trans
ferred to the Pacific without a
chance Of furlough in between. Some
will have that privilege but not all.
And even for the lucky ones the sec
ond parting will be hard unless the
families play the game.
There is another group who will
see Americas shore but will not be
allowed even to touch American soil.
They are the ones who will pass
through the Panama canal on non
stop trip to points in the East. That
will be a tough experience to see
Old Glory waving from f1agstaffs in
the Canal Zone and to watch it's
colors fade in the distance. 1t SIM
ply cannot be helped.
But perhaps, temporarily at least,
the hardest test Of patience and self
discipline will fall upon those
who know that they are to be dis
charged, but who, because war
takes the priority and the fighters
must 60 first, can only sit and wait
in Europe.

Crude Rope Bridges

Bridges consisting of a single
rope are still in use at points along
the rivers of western China where
only men and horses travel. To
get over them, a man hooks his
horse to the rope in an underslung
harness and, clutching the rope
with hands and feet, pulls himself
and animal across, few inches
at a time.

Heartache, Headache
For Officers

Before writing this article I had
a long conversation with one of the
highest of the high command and I
can tell you redeployment is both
headache and heartache for him. He
and all his officer comrades who
have sons and grandsons of their
own fighting at the front want them
back as much as any rear rank pr1-
Yates mother, dad, sweetheart or
wife, wants him.
But few outside those more or less
intimately concerned realize the me-
chanical implications of managing
this major migration Of history in
the moving of more than three mil
lion men.
Have you any idea how long the
mere physical process of simply
loading soldiers. one after another,
on ships and sending them back to
America would take?
I do not have official figures al
though they should be released
shortly, but I have an estimate on
good authority, OF the time which
would be required to transfer three
million men now in Europe across
the Atlantic to east coast ports. AS
Stunning that the transport facilities
available were devoted exclusively
to this mission, perhaps three hun
dred thousand men month could
be carried home. That would mean
that 10 months would be required
to transfer them all. And, of course,
that is a fantastic superstition, since
ships as well as men, are needed in
the Pacific and so are ships to carry
the endless supplies which the army
Of the Pacific will require to carry
on about warfare.
Redeployment, materially and
morally, is a tremendous task and,
as result of personal conversations
with the top men upon whom its
twin burdens rest, can assure you
that the question of morale is, if
anything, the greater of the two in
their consideration.

 Prince Konoye and one Jap senior statesmen, who is one of the Emperor's close advisers, said the Emperor was anxious for revision of the constitution to pro- vide the nation with a Diet strong enough to be guiding influence in the nations politics. Konoye, who at the command of the Elm peror followed General MacAr- thurs wishes in the matter of working on a draft of the revised constitution.
 Headquarters ruled Jap teach ing henceforth should concentrate on peaceful pursuits, eliminating military drill and other swash- buckling trappings of the militar- ist regime.
