ONE OF TEN RETURNED The speeches delivered before the House of Com- mons by Prime Minister Winston Churchill ought to reveal interesting information about events connected with the war and almost always describes the woria situation in appropriate strategic terms. in his latest speech, delivered early in July, the Prime Minister calls attention to “splendid American achievements” which have not received the attention they deserve in Great Britain, He explained that “the balance of naval power in the Pacific had been definitely altered in our favor” relieving the position in Australia and in the In. dian theaters. Mr. Churchill said that “from some of their successful attacks on Japanese aircraft carriers,’ only one American aircraft returned out of ten. In others, he adds the loss was more than half, but the work was done. This is the first indication of the intensity of the engagement between American and Japanese carriers in the Coral Bea and around Midway, It should give Americans some idea of the heroie ser- vice being rendered by the men who fly our fight- ing alreraft, ONLY COWARDS FEAR THE FUTURE We have very little sympathy with the crocodile tears which are shed over what might happen to this country as a result of our participation in the present war. It is a popular pastime, practiced by some so- called leaders of public opinion, to reiterate the danger that Communists might undermine our in- stitutions. Fearful orators agonize in public over “the tragic, dreadful thing” if, “when our boys come back, they couldn't recognize the country.” The substance is that we must beware of com- munism and “watch out” for the Russians when peace arrives. It is subtle way of stirring up dis- cord which may lead to Indifference as to the fate of the Russian Government and its fighting Red Army. The “boys” who are fighting for their nation will be able to recognize their country “when they come back,” unless the Axis powers arrange it so that they won't come back. Nothing will greatly change the fundamental institutions of the United States except disastrous defeat In the present war Patriotic Americans could serve thelr nation better, in the present crisis, by being less alrald of ideas and more concerned with physical eflorts that we must make to defeat our enemies The attack on Pearl Harbor us that the United States is a of its power and responsibilities, and unafraid to stand erect in the world, ready to meet whatever the future brings Only cowards haunted by the spectres of what may arise and dastards cower In over imaginary evils may Ia us In the convinced most o nation consclow nre only fear that future ATTACK UPON SOVIET IS IMMINENT MOVE offensive against Russia, which gains, may be limited In the oil resources of the cope, dt JAP The German has scored cons purpose to the capture of Caucasus or it may be broad in eparate troy the Red armie The probability is that the Nazi have both in view, If pen cale, it will be sloped into the long-herald- ed. all-out effort the Soviet.

Together the two nations will endeavor to overthrow Anglo-American control of the world This outline will, we believe, emphasize the role that Russia plays in the war that this country must win. Should the Russians collapse under German attack, with or without Japanese assault, the United Btates and Gfeat Britain will face prolonged war- fare against powerful cnemies, immeasurably strengthened for the conflict Thus, FIVE YEARS OF WAR IN CHINA Pive years ago, on July 7th, 1837, Japanese soldiers attacked Chinese troops precipitating a bloody skirmish for control of the Marco Polo Bridge over the Yingting River, near Peiping. The “inckient” resulted in a war that has cost the lives of five million Chinese, the scattering ol 50,000,000 into the interior of the country and the loss of much of the richest provinces of China, in- cluding the vital seacoast areas, The people of the United States, now in the seventh month of their war should appreciate the desperate fight that has been waged by the Chinese, For more than two years, they withstood the Jap- anese assault, never losing hope or courage despite the fact that their friends of the Western world were giving considerable material assistance to the Japanese, Today, after five years of warfare, the position of China is becoming almost desperate, Her prin- cipal supply routes have been broken and her pow- erful enemy seems to be determined to remove all possible avenues of communication with her allies, The only comfort which buoys the confidence of Chinese leaders is the knowledge that Japan, hy attacking Pearl Harbor has arrayed against herself both the United States and Great Britain, ‘This means that to win the war against China, the Jap. anese must succeed in crushing the United States and Great Britain The hope that strengthens Chinese resolves may be far distant but it is nonetheless solid comfort, Civilians, Fombiing about rationing and price controls, ought to be on the front, where they would have something to worry about. People who worry about alr raids might take time out to be careful when driving automobiles, Jiob—and do it quick.
