English Eisenhower"

In connection with Sir Harold Alexander's
appointment as governor general of Canada,
London comment dwells chiefly on his effici-
ency as military strategist and diplomatist
One article from the British capital goes
so far as to say: "Sir Harold might be called
the English Eisenhower Obviously, Bri-
tons have been no slower than we in recog-
nizing the Supreme Commanders outstand-
ing attributes.
In justification of its position, the London
article explains: LAS Commander in Chief
OF the Mediterranean Theater of War he had
to deal with the problems of co-ordins Alg
the military effort of the Allss and with the
complex politico-military crises arising in
Italy, In Greece, and in Yugoslavia, as well
as in North Africa and the Middle East, which
provided a series of severe tests of his nd.
mlnlstratve capacities.
He passed all these tests with flying
colors and did while at the same time
maintaining his remarkable popularity with
both the British and the American troops as
man and SOLDIER
His selection for the top position in Cana.
da is viewed in London as evidence of the in.
creaslng Importance attached to the links he.
tween Britain and the Dominions. Accenting
this as the probable cause of his appointnoen+
it would seem likely that the new Att,ee cav,
eminent will be making additional changes in

Editorial Comment
A STRAW IN THE WIND

Winston Churchill has turned down the offer
of King George to make him Knight of the
Garter which would have placed him in the
ranks of Britain's official nobility.
One report has it that Churchill declined this
appointment because he wished to stay in poll
tics and fight the new Labor Government On
the floor of the House of Commons and in
future British elections
But in view of the landslide which swept
him and his associates of the nobility out Of
power. it is safe guess that Mr. Churchill is
convinced that the nobility in Britain has about
run its course.
In the new era ahead for the British people
Mr.. Churchill evidently sees the beginning Of
the end of inherited power in England. I'm
doubtedly if the present trend continues. the
time is not far distant when there will be nc
official nobility in Britain, any more thar
there has been in this country since the Revo
luton of 177e.-Winston Salem Journal.

saying bitter things since receiving the ulti'
matum and Boosting loudly Of Japan's remain
ing military strength and increasing airplane
production. But it is possible that, if ne is
the puppet of the militarists as Won Dirckson
claims, the words were put in his mouth by
his masters, and that instead OF being actual
premier of Japan he is the robot OF the Army
In this case finish fight is the only way
to end the war in the Pacific, which is to be
regretted, for while Japan cannot win de-
spite her great army, her defeat will cost the
lives of many Allied men.
We're it not for the threat to world peace
that Japan's ambitious war involved at the
start and her waning resistance still consti.
tuteS Japan would not be worth the sacrifice
of a single American life.

Needs Explaining

Great Britain will employ against Japan
all of her naval, air and land forces which
can be advantageously used'' The announce.
ment is made by President Truman, en- route
home, as the decision of the American and
British chiefs of staff
While the British Air Force and Navy have
been cooperating with Admiral Halsey in the
recent bombing and Smelling of Japan's home
island centers the statement quoted above
leaves room for speculation. Who, for in
stance, is to determine how large a number
vantageously used' in achieving total defeat
OF Japan's armed forces?
We have felt, since the day Of the Pearl
Harbor attack, that the war in the Pacific
was peculiarly our war, that the decisions
should be made by our leaders, Is it to be in
1erred from the above statement that while
Britain is to take a hand in knocking japan
out, her contribution can be onlv token s1p.
port, If her leaders so decide?
While the war in Europe was in progress
II was left to the United States to fight the
japanese practically single-handed. Australian
and New Zealand troops had conspicuous
part on the island fighting of the southwest
racine but they have been integrated with
american forces and have been under the
American land commanding officer, General
macarthur. Otherwise, the battle on land and
sea and in the air has been carried on bv
Americans
Now that the war in Europe has been
won, 1t Is right to expect Britain to bring to
pear against Japan all of their naval, land
aoo air forces' without qualification. Or. if
there is to be any limit set upon Britain s
participation it should be fixed by the Ameri.
can commanders who have conducted the at.
tack and best know the needs.

University For Soldiers

In setting up it's own university IN Eng
land the United States Army is putting to
actual test its claim that a vast number OF
soldiers will want to continue their education
once they are out of uniform and may choose
their own course in life.
Obviously the claim has had some basis
in fact Students are pouring into class rooms
in far larger numbers than the rooms can
comfortably hold, and it is said that no closer
attention was ever observable among college
men at any school in peacetime.
1t is remarkable that young men who have
been so recently engaged in combat, and
whose emotional reserves must be nearly ex.
hausted, can settle down in the quietude Of
a classroom and turn their minds to things
that have nothing to do with war.
This school is a Shrvenham The faculty
is $50 strong, with ITS civilian members call
ed from the United States. The balance are
teachers already in the armed forces. By spe-
cial arrangement guest lecturers are to come
from Oxford and other British universities.
Only 1000 students can be accommodated at
a time, with a total of $4,000 taking courses
during the school year.
Two special attractions are expected to
prove especially interesting. One is that ath.
university is co-educational. Cupid will add
himself to the faculty without invitation. He's
terrible butter-nner.

If the world views the Potsdam
peace program for Germany as
harsh, it likely is in for a shock
when China declares her terms
for Japan.
Japan has plundered China and
the Chinese in this war with a
thoroughgoing ruthlessness here
tofore unknown in modern times,
both as to human life and material
goods. For all this China is pre-
pairing her bill.
Being in China the first few
years of the war and until after
Tokyo's reckless attack on Pearl
Harbor, l saw that virtually moth
ing of national or personal value
to the japanese was overlooked
by Japan's war machine and its
looting soldiery.
Thus far China has revealed Of

gain retribution for the destruc-
ton, chaos and suffering the Jap.

enough of her aspirations in this
respect is known to make clear

ALL BRAVE SAILORS, by John
Beecher Fisher: $3.50.

Warm, tender, moving, this is
really a romance; in some re-
spects, though women are minor
figures, it is one of the most ro-
mantle stories to come out Of this
war.
Written with a kind of naive
casualness through which passion
burns brightly, this is about love:
the love of men for their way oil
life, for their jobs, for one another
But since this is about war, too,
there is hate, a full-bodied, surg.
ing, fierce hatred for the enemy
at home and abroad.
Heroes of Beecher's tale are q

If such a program is executed,

China, of course, plans to re-
