While the world awaits the moment when Allied troops will storm Hitler's Fortress Europe, the Yanks | in the Pacific are carrying out-no few invasions of | the Marshall Islands is offensives in the North their own. Occupation of well underway, and similar Pacific are indicated. Meanwhile, Col. Carlos Romulo, Filipino officer who was the last man off Bataan, pow aide to Presi- dent Manuel Quezon, comes out with the statement that America is losing the war in the Pacific He bases th atement partially upon the fact that after two years of fighting in the Pacific, Amer- icans still do not know the temperament of the Japanese. Romulo says the atrocity stories belatedly re- leased by our Government a few weeks ago are not exaggerations—“to understand the atrocity stories you must realize that America is fighting an enemy in the Pacific that makes his own rules—a trained killer.” Says Romulo: “When you have a nation which believes that its highest honor and manhood are ex- pressed by committing hara-Kiri, you can carry that belief to its logical conclusion, that to do the same thing to an enemy is less than nothing to a Jap.” Begging all Americans to face reality, he says: “Let us face facts and admit that after two years of war Japan is the victor. Out of 4,336,000 square miles of land she has grabbed, we have only recaptured 160,150 square miles. We have been fighting 3,000 from the Jepanese mainland, have advanced | “ |on only 200 miles and have taken only 377 Jap prisoners. “To Japan this is a life and death struggle—the Japs have put all their eggs into one basket and know it. By fair means or foul they are going to fight it through.” We believe this is carrying the fight against optimism a little too far. apan is not the victor. She cannot be the victor until the opponent she has attacked licked. And America is by no means licked. The Japs have made no gains for a long time. They are trying to hold what they have until America is tired of fighting. But before America is tired of fighting, our troops will be in Tokyo. 1t is silly also to believe that America is trying to win this war in the Pacific by a slow recapture of every inch of land the Japs seized at the beginning of the fight. Romulo is correct, however, in stating that Amer- icans are not familiar with the Jap as an enemy which follows no rules as far as warfare is concerned, no civilized rules. Withholding from publication of such juicy details as the treatment of American prisoners by the Nippons by our Government was mainly responsible for this lack of knowledge. is Bonds Buy Jobs (Cincinnati Enquirer) The men fighting for America in all of the world's climes desire one thing above all others—to return when the war is done to a nation in which there will be jobs and opportunity to live a happy and pros- perous life. . They want to come back here and make ana sell our automobiles, design and construct our wash- ‘xng machines, rear new skyscrapers into the peaceful | skies. They don't want to come back to sell apples | treet corners, nor to live on the niggardly benefi- | | cience of a Federal dole. No scheme of economic planning will quite ac- complish their ambition Tt is not a business of passing laws or authorizing future appropriations, The thing {to do is save some of the wealth that is gorging the |g save it until the boys | |channels of commerce today | come home and can have a share in earning it. And the ideal way to save it in War Bonds When you buy a War Bond, you are not only doing yourself and your nation a good turn and per- forming a very necessary service, but you are gwln;. the men now &ff fighting for you a better chance to come back to a nation in which they can get jobs | and enjoy economic security and prosperity. Perhaps | when your War Bonds mature you will buy a new | automobile, or clothing, or house—and when you do | you will be creating a job, in a manner more sound‘ than any government could create it, for not one | but a number of men home from the war. The money | you spend now for unnecessary articles cheats them, in a way, of their chance to earn it Probably you never before thought of War Bond sales in this light.
