no longer will mutter about being
the orphans of the war effort, get
ting help on a shoestring. They
can feel their war is big-time and
their day Of triumph and peace
much closer.
Only Half Of Picture.
The psychology Of the fighting
man Is only half the picture. The
other half, here on the home front,
may very well pose the more dim
cult problem.
War leaders see home front mo-
rale rs composed of two elements,
the attitude OF parents, wives and
sweethearts and the attitude OF war
plant workers.
With the approach Of victory in
Europe the Army began hearing
things like this: MY boy has been
overseas two years. Let some one
else carry on In that war way out
there In the Pacific. I need him to
help out down here on the farm"
The Army thinks those are good,
sound arguments. 1t has announced
it intends to do what it can about
them. Soldiers will be discharged,
but not now, nor all at once, nor
until after most OF them have seen
service in the Pacific. 49,.
One Way to End War.
OF equal concern to the high COM
mand is the psychology of the war
plant worker and his boss. Military
leaders say that II the management
worker team should decide the war
effort no longer needs its full serv-
ice, there would be no use in the
Army's redeploying its fighting men
in the Pacific. The war would in
deed be over before victory-a jap
anese victory.
These leaders want the home front
to feel what President Roosevelt has
said: America must be prepared for
a long and costly struggle in the Pa
cific."
