Working night and day the Japs have been build- ing runways, gasoline tanks, anti- aircraft installations. Since the Solomons extend down near the supply route between Hawaii and Australia, they have been a direct menace to U. 8. ship- ping and the trans-Pacific air line. ‘Therefore it was up to the Navy to move before the Japs became too deeply entrenched. Moreover, Japanese activities in the Solomon Islands were typical of their zeal in other South Pacific Islands, in many of which they have been spending 24 hours a day with bull- dozers and tractors leveling run- |as Undersecretary of War to run |get back into the Marine Corps He s constantly being pat in| “the middle” of squabbles involv- ing policy, including the bitter one now raging among Price Adminis- | trator Leon Henderson, the War Labor Board and other agencies over proposals to freeze wages. But | that is another thing he doesn't complain about. In fact, Donald Nelson gripes about only one of the changes which the war has wrought in his life, “The worst thing,” he told a friend, “is that I'm seldom able to| get a haircut. I don’t have time| to get one before I go to work ln‘ the morning, and the barber shovs| are closed when I'm through at| night.” (Copyright, 1942, by United Fea-| ture Syndicate, Inc.) Breath of Life | [ of this “was golng on during the) lull after the battle of Midway and during the monsoon rains in| India. Some strategists figure that if the Japs were given one full year to fortify the South Pacific Islands, it would take three or four years to dislodge them. That is why the attack on the Solomon Islands was partly a race against time.
