CONSTITUTION—156 YEARS OLD It was just 156 years ago today that the Con- stitution of the United States of America was adopted in Philadelphia by a majority of,the 55 delegates from 12 States, present in convention. * The purposes of the Constitution, stated in the preamble, were: “To form a more perfect Union; to establish justice; insure domestic tranquility; provide for the common defense; promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” Thus was born the Supreme Law of the Land. All | of the work performed by the Government of me‘ United States, from the President on down to the village constable, is subject to this written instrument. No other document tells as much about a country. The original measure received its first ten amendments ‘ in 1791—the Bill of Rights. It is in this important addition that the doctrine known as states’ rights | evacuation ! invasion, Kiska showed that air and sea bombard- Constitution remains as firmly séatéd as évér. Other countries also have adopted constitutions. But none have lasted for 156 years, The Lesson at Kiska 4 L (New York Times) In a way the unoppbsed Mnding of American and Canadian troops on Kiska came as an anticlimax, but that should not blind us to the great gain that has been achieved, nor to the important lessons that have been learned. An offensive menace, for what it was worth, has been removed. Costly losses have been inflicted on the enemy. We have regained complete command of the Aleutians. We now recognize their strategic value in way that we failed to do before the | Japanese occupied them. They are taking-off points for bombing raids on the Japanese Kuriles, as we have already demonstrated in our attacks on the naval base at Paramushiru. The Japanese evacuation of Kiska symbolizes, finally, the completion of Japan’s shift from the strategic offensive to the strategic defensive. The evacuation was surprising in more ways than one. It marked, in connection with the Japanese re- treat at Salamaua, a dramatic reversal in Japanese strategy and perhaps psychology. No longer, it seems, are hopeless positions to be consistently defended to the last man. In some ways this change of strategy other ways more difficult. Japan’s obstinacy in defending hopeless causes at Guadalcanal, Munda and the Aleutians gained time and exacted a greater loss in American lives, but it did this at a cost o themselves in men, ships, planes and supplies that the Japanese could not afford to continue. The manner in which the evacuation was accom- plished, without the knowledge of American naval vessels or bombing or observation planes, has some- thing of the haunting mystery of the abandoned Mary Celeste. The island had been under mounting aerial and naval bombardment for weeks preceding the oc- cupation. Anti-aircraft fire was heavy as late as July 26; “light” anti-aircraft fire was reported a few days before thé Allied landing. General DeWitt, on the basis of evidence on the island, believes that the began as well-disciplined maneuver in about mid-June, but deterioriated by August 8 into a rout. Some materials of war were left unharmed and buildings were left standihg. Colonel Frederick re- ports that he found opened Japanhese milk tins in which the milk was still sweet, and believes that a few Japanese were on Kiska not more than twenty-four hours before our troops landed. Even with the heavy fogs, this unohserved evacuation was an -amazing achievement. But the evacuation is still a first-class defat; and, though the Japarese got awdy, General DeWitt is certain that we would have sufferea heavy casualties had the enemy elécted to fight to the end. The evacuation of Kiska is another victory for air power. Though aerial was supplemented by nayal bombardment, the ships did not move in in the last few weeks until air power had prepared the way.| While Pantelleria showed that air bombardment alone can force an island to surender without waiting Yor ment could also force abandonment before the arrival came into being, a part of the Bupreme Law of the Land that is being flaunted left and right today. Another amendment which stands out in the his- | tory of the'United States was ratified December 18, | 1885—the abolishment of slavery at the end of the | Civil War. In 1870, the former slaves, by another; amendthent, were given the right to vote, but that too | has not been enforced. | In 1913 came the amendment giving Congress‘ the “power to lay and collect taxes on incomes” for the financing of war, and in 1919 came prohibition, | followed the next year by woman’s suffrage.' The | ! last amendment was the repeal of prohibition in 1933. The United States is now engaged in its sevénth | war since the adoption of the Constitution, and the | of invading land forces—though the knowledge that superior land forces were available to us doubtless played its part in the Japanese decision. Secretary Knox declares that the recent creation | of the post of Deputy Chief of Naval Operations is “definitely a recognition of the growing importance of aviation.” It is to be hoped that this will be ac- complished, as Artemus L. Gates, Assistant Secretary | of the Navy for Air, has recommended, by thé bring- | ing of more air officers of high rank into the upel‘a-l tional planning staff of the Navy. We will not gét | the most out of air power if it is put under old- | | fashioned admirals as a tnére auxiliary tactical é weapon. More airmen should receive top positions in | the Navy, to participate in framing strategic plans on at least a basis of equality. | have been préssed into service on tural comthissioners at Chicago. | branch lines.

This does not mean ;bat homes will be deserted or mar- viages ,no longer numerous, the seers explain. Women will devote sertain years to the rearing of thek tfamilies while they perfect them- celves in professions or vocations for which they are trained in gitl- nood. Scientific methods will re- duce household drudgery. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Great manufacturing plants now occupied ny war industries are to be con- verted for peacetime needs which will be amazing in their derands. This country will provide for mahy foreign nations through a tohg per- jod of reconstruction and commer- cial agreements will reduce the cost of transportation, it is foretold. De- spite immigration restrictions of the past which influences many citizens of the United States, large numbers of refugees will be enabled to enter from the Atlahtic side. NATIONAL ISSUES: Discussion of the World War may be heated under this configuration which en- courages impatience.
