TWO SIDES ALWAYS

If we were soldiers overseas we
would be anxious to come home, and it is
easy enough to understand how anxious
are loved at home in Key West and else
where to have their sons or brothers or
husbands back in civilian life, yet, as Gen.
eral Eisenhower chief of staff pointed out
in Washington Tuesday, there are two
sides to the question.
One of those sides, with which the
public generally is not familiar, is that,
as General Eisenhower declared, 1900
600 servicenen, who chad no right to be
home, have returned to the United
States since the Germans were knocked
out of the war.
He said further that between now
and July l, between 100000 and 1,200,-
600 other servicemen will be back in this
country.
General Eisenhower maintained, and
rightly, that, even though the war is over,
the United States still has much import
ant work to do in Japan and Europe if
we are to conserve the peace for which
100000 Americans gave their lives.
Japan and Germany must be placed
in position where they will no longer
be able to wage war, for many years to
come at least, and, by the issuing of direc-
tives by the Allies and enforcing them, as
they are being enforced, particularly in
Japana the 1militaristie Spirit @villlbe curb
ed among the oldsters s.agd ;eradAfed
among youths and childrehs2 sASS1EO
All textbooks in the schoeEsin :Tesseatn
B5bjehA contained stories or articles about
Imifitarism, have been banned and the
pursuits of peace have been stressed.
The United States needs soldiers in
Japan to attend to those matters, and all
the talk about endless red tape that must
be unraveled before servicemen could be-
gin their homeward trips had little basis
in fact, according to General Eisenhower,
who, pointed out that 100000 former
service men already were home who, I'M
der the regulations, had no right to be
home"

HATS MEAN A GREAT DEAL

The War- did something to mems hats.
.4i There was day when a man cher
ished an old hat for gear7upon END ess-
year-to the confused indignation of his
wife and the tolerant amusement of his
friends. He might have several compare
lively new hats on, the shelf. But one, that
grew steadily seedier and more disreput-
able, was dear to his heart; he wore it on
every conceivable occasion. However
many hats he had, he was still one hat
man. He looked it, too.
Then he went to war And he found
that the he-est men this nation has ever
produced were two, three, and four hat
men. He has come back from a world of
hats with meaning-a world of garrison
ofists, barracks caps, fatigue hats, fighting
hats. And the result is that now he feels
positively undressed unless ha9 has the
right outfit for the oceasi9n
Once he would go into a hat stoke
and ask for a hat that sWnl go with any
thing" Now he knows that one hat, re-
CARELESS of color, just won't Ego with
everything" His new knowledge has
made him little critical of personal ap-
pearance, too, perhaps The man who has
come back with an understanding of the
dignity of the hat has found that the girl
he left behind him is wearing overalls and
shirt with the tail hanging out For the
moment he is bewildered by this, but he'll
change her over, because he is a different
fellow from the one hat man she knew.
He has accomplished the transition
painlessly There is no nostalgia, no yearn-
ing for the cid days of the disreputable
head piece. He found out in the service
what good shoe shine and the right hat
will do for a mans morale He has also
found out that he is, in a large measure,
judged by his appearance. and that in
this his hat@is- important Ias-a very con-
siderable sense. the hat has again become
what it was many years ago-a symbol of
accomplishment.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, in The Auto
crat of the Breakfast Table, wrote: 1.-The
hat is the ultimum moriens of respectable
ity''-which is high brow for something
like: The last symbol of responsibility that
a man gives up is his hat
Maybe we just had to go through a
war to relearn what the poet knew by in
stinct.
