It might be just 2 well to put a little fear into them, so that when the war brings defeat to their fighting fofces they will be more than willing to call it a war. Let the peopie of these nations know that they will share the guilt of their rotten leaders and when the suspicion en- ters their minds that they are on the losing side, some of them will begin to think about saving their own hides sidered wisdom should of their ways is to rime does not pay Germany and Italy are, to the same with THE SITUATION IN THE SOLOMONS It is rather difficult to pass judgment upon the Bolomons campaign up to this time without knowing more of the facts involved While some critics have suggested that our losses, especially cruisers, have been due to the adoption of a defense-patrol strategy there are others who believe that caution has enabled us to exact a heavy toll from the foe With the Japanese throwing greater strength into the campaign, it is plain that what began as a local offensive has developed into major warfare, which may have a tremendous effect upon the entire situation in the Pacific Foster Hailey, writing in the New York Times from Honolulu, refers to the belief that a more ag- gressive policy in fleet operations may have paid a bigger dividend in enemy ships sunk but wisely points out that the same policy may have resulted in heavier losses than the Pacific fleet can afford “It is a tough situation,” he comments, for the admirals and generals in the Pacific, charged with the responsibility of “holding the line.” Our fliers are outnumbered, our ships are outnumbered and shore operations, as upon Cuadalcanal are undertaken at heavy disadvantages LET EXPERTS RUN THE WAR There have been constant references in the press and on the alr, to what commentators de- scribed as a lack of an adequate war program and the inference has been rather freely promulgated that too much civilian control is hampering the miii- tary mén in the conduct of the war, We doubt if there is an official, in high public office today, either in Oreat Britain or the United States, who would attempt to tell the admirals and the generals exactly how the war must be won. The conbensus of opinion is that this war must be left to the experts who understand strategy and tactics and that civilian officials have other functions to perform. Much the same observation applies to helter- skelter efforts to hasten a second front, or any other venture on the field of battle, There was, not so many weeks ago, something like a persistent cam- paign to put the pressure on the Navy to “do some- thing In the Aleutians.” popular efforts to prod re- There will be similar sponsible officers and officials, in relation to specific objectives, but the average American will do well not to become “steamed up” over such issues, Proprietors Editor _,- BALDWIN ON THE FAR EAST Hanson W.

Rommel] The aerial offensive is apt to produce another Certainly it will tend to dispel the equanimity with which the Italians have regarded the bombing of German centers, For some strange reason there seems to exist an idea, not altogether missing in this country, that it is good strategy to treat the Italians as friends. The belief persists, in some quarters, that we can event- ually win Italian opinfon and, maybe, pave the way for a bloodless victory This is a foolish idea, it seems to us. The best way to put the fear of God into Italian hearts is to give them a taste of the medicine they doped out to the Spaniards, the Ethiopians, the Albanians and the Greeks 80 far ag we can see, successful strategy in war makes it necessary to take a declaration of war against us as a matter of business, requiring a busi- ness-like reply. The Italians decided to declare war upon the United States, in support of their allies, the Japanese, and it is our duty, Just as soon as pos- sible, to convince them that making war upon the United States is no munkey business. have result While we regret to see young men below the age of twenty called for military service, we neverthe- less believe that the lowering of the draft age would not have been requested unless those responsible for the successful conduct of our wars believed it neces. sary. As a layman, we cannot say that they are wrong and, as the nation must win both of ifs present wars, we have no choice but to support the President, the Chief-of -Staff and our Army officers in the creation of a successful army.
