PUNRBNSRERRU S OE SISSOMS L S0ei0 - S SRR WAR CASUALTIES The latest official account of American war casual- ties shows that we have already lost in killed, wound- ed, missing and prisoners 162,282 men. Among thes 37,853 are dead. It is, of course, a heavy toll—not to be minimized in any way by comparisons. It seems worth noting, however, that, although we have been [should be remembered that these were not delin- |sage great bencfits through scien- engaged in a conflict of greater scope and for a longer | gquents, but apparently normal boys from normal|tific planning which is to be car- period than the whole of our participation in World War I, the cost in human life has thus far been kept | would spontaneously suggest itself from the stuff ap- |businessmen. { Our casualties in all categories pearing in newspaper headlines, movies, radio xmrl{ considerably lower. during that earlier amounted to 364,800.

A few Americans have been so careless of the afcts, or so chauvinistic, as to declare that ur troops are bearing brunt of the fight- ing. The record scarcely beasr them out. No recent figures respecting British Empire casualties are avail- able. But it is known that for the first three years of the war—that is, up to September, 1942—more than half a million of the Empire’s soldiers and sailors were killed, wounded or missing. The United King- dom alone contributed 275844 of these casualties, more than half the total. These statistics do not take into account, more- over, the serious losses sustained by men from various parts of the British Commonwealth in the Tunisian, |of pblitics. Sicilian and Ttalian campaigns in 1943 and 1944. In all of these, Empire participation was considerably greater than our own. It is salutary to bear in mind, besides, that civilian casualties in England itself up to September, 1942, amounte dto 102,934 men, women and children. And even these, of course, represent but a tiny fraction of the tremendous and terrible losses suffered by the Russian people, military and civilian alike available as to Soviet casualties, but they are figured in millions, no dbubt It may be that victory can be purchased without great additional loss of life. But we bravely doubt it. We have set ourselves to a great and inescapable task and cannot now blench the it. No one knows what toll will be exacted in the supreme and » figures cost of final effort. But it is heartening to know that we fight shoulder to shoulder with stanch Allies who have not shirked or stinted in the devotion of their human resources to the common cause. We'ourselves can do no less. Delinquency (Washington Post) Dr. Peter Amoroso, Commissione of Correction in New York City, said the other day that the problem of juvenile delinquency has “become a sort of political football that everyone kicks all over the lot.” He did not elaborate on this statement, or, if he did, his remarks were not quoted. However, the implication seems reasonably clear. Juvenile delinquency is not an. isolated problem, but one phase of the general ethical and social confusion which has resulted from the war. There seems,to be general agreement that the principal contributing factors are, first, the ten- sions and excitements produced by the very climate of war, and, secondly, the break-up or alteration of | normal family life because of the necessities of. war. It is for this reason that a radical solution of the problem is well-nigh impossible. An instance of how wartime excitement influences the behavior of children is contained in a brief dis- patch from Irvington, N. J. Some schoolboys had been e | caught stealing hand grenades from a nearby war|of merchandising | plant in order to add a little more verisimilitude to | | mimic battles in which they were digging real fox- tanks.

It seems obvious that the difference between such !and provided with plenty of spending money, and permitted to move freely in dubious environments, is a difference mainly of degree. It is also apparent that ‘,programs and devices for preventing or arresting J‘youmful delinquency cannot be improvised rapidly ! enough to meet the conditions created by the general | social disruption. No effort to cope with the problem can be wholly successfully, and there is neither political glory nor personal profit in palliative efforts, ‘necessnry as they are. Nor are there, as far as we | know, very many persons or groups interested in | seeing that funds for the work are made available. | Many municipalties, harassed with the other problems | of war, have more or less ignored it. Possibly this is | what Dr. Amoroso meant by calling it the football Nashingion Meny- Go-Round Andre Kostelanetz, ~Lutheran Hour. -Lutheran Hour. Rebroadcast Radio Hour.

Harvi was reported missing this day by 1e other planes upon reaching Chignik after flying from Seward through slinding snow squalls and high winds. Major Martin was last seen near be Igvak and was believed to have descengled between Portage and <ialagvik bays on the roughest part of the coast of Alaska. The destroy- Hull and Corry, enroute to Bremerton after making soundings for the ew Alaska cable, turned back and were steaming toward. Portage Bay o search for the plane. Fearing that the Sutherland amendments to the White Bill would iterally ruin Alaska’s greatest industry and cut in two the volume of those engaged in the industry, cannerymen, fishermen, sxperts, bankers and business men were directing telegrams to the United tates Senate and President Coolidge protesting against the passage of he White Bill in its present form. Formal opening of the local baseball season was to be held May 11, he City League schedule being launched with a doubleheader attraction v all four teams on the bill. This was decided by President J.
