OF 1WO The battle of ITwo Jima has been won at a cost of 4,189 American Marines dead, 15,308 wounded and | 441 missing. was great When the Maines went on the island, as Admiral Nimitz said, “they fought with certain knowledge of the cost of an objective which had to be taken.” The valor our great Marines thrills all of America and shames many of us. It is a shocking thing for mothers to realize the horror of war as it was fought on that tiny little dot in the Pacific. One mother wrote a letter to Secretary of the | Navy Forrestal: } “Please for God's sake stop sending our finest youths to be murdered on places like Iwo Jima. It is too much for boys to stand, too much for mothers | and homes to take. It is driving some mothers crazy. Why can't objectives be accomplished some other way? It is most inhuman and awful—stop, stop!"” Secretary Forrestal replied that “we have no final means of winning battles except through the valor of the Marine or Army soldier who, with rifles and grenades, storms enemy- positions, takes them and holds them. There is no short cut or easy way. I wish there were.” In this war our men have gone from the offices and schools and the peaceul pursuits of an easy and gracious life, straight into the cannon's mouth and the roar of explosives. Perhaps in another age men loved battle, but now they hate it. They fight bravely as the do because there is no other way to protect their homeland and The cost was terrific, but the victory | | police have been arresting proprietors and guests TUESDAY, APRIL 3, 1945 |the Axis powers that democracy “is something that can be taken by any man or any nation at the point of a tommy gun.” P et HAPPY BIRTHDAY TUESDAY, APRIL 3, 1945 Henry G.

Evidence is rapidl accumulating that Mr. Byrnes’ curfew edict is giving rise to more evils than those it is designed to correct. Certainly this seems to be the case in New York City, where the principal con- comitants of the curfew are said to be an increase in prostitution, promiscuity and clandestine drinking after midnight. That least sensational of newspapers, the New York Times, sent one of its reporters to make a survey of the situation. This reporter, Mr. Alexander | Feinberg, after a series of personal inspections and of interviews with military poice and naval shore patrol officials, all-night restauranteurs and service- 'men on leave, wrote that among the more readily visible effects of the curfew are: 1 . drunken brawls induced by unpaced | drinking before midnight with one eye on the clock, flask and bottle toting, the sur- ‘ reptitious “spiking” of coffee and soft drinks | at all-night restaurants, cafeterias, coffee-pots ‘ and diners, drinking and “necking” in dark : hallways and soldiers and sailers pacing the | | ~ WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4 Benefic and malefic aspects con- flict today which may be marked by bitter oppositlon among legislators. | HEART AND HOME Women should benefit under this configuration which stimulates do- mestic interest.

BUSINESS AFFAIRS Cooperation among members of |the United Nations will promote | trade and commerce. Competition is lto be regulated fairly and anxiety | regarding effort through balance | of power will prove unwarranted, the |seers foretell. There is a sign, streets looking for a “pick-up.” Further, they report that “house parties” are becoming standard “business” in hotel, | apartment, flat and rooming houses; that the P “steerer” who knows a “good place” to get a | drink after hours is being followed out of a | tavern at midnight by many youths in uni- | form. The “good place,” as often as not, turns | out to be one where a juke-box or phonograph is going, with dim lights, shoddy women and “scotch” and “rye” that may have serious effects on the drinker. These places reputedly | are as dangerous as the “clip joints” of pro- hibition days, where life was cheap and money was meant to be stolen, and infinitely worse than the ordinary speakeasy of that era. | Some of these conseauences were readily fore- | seen by the New York police, who, in an effort to keep the situation under control, undertook a series of raids on clandestine and illicit drinking places al- most as soon as the curfew went into effect. With this | idea of discouraging patronage of such places, the inations among foreign traders. NATIONAL ISSUES Partisan prejudices will be man- ifest in Washington as peace plans are discussed. While this year marks the beginning of a new cycle in world history, astrologers warn that the next century may not be free from wars. However, it is pos- sible to delay future conflicts. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Indications for China’s future seem to point to amazing recovery alike. Magistrates have been threatening to send | speakeasy patrons to jail. It is unlikely, however, ; that many soldiers and sailors in search of entertain- | ment or excitement would be deterred by such threats. | And this method of proceeding against speakeasies has lone serious disadvantage.

Note—The British also demanded of Tito that they send more than a thousand British officers to handle 'UNRRA relief inside Jugo- slavia, but Tito refused. Finally Russia backed him up and Tito got his UNRRA relief without British troops—only 40 UNRRA workers and 60 British workers. UNRRA officials are hoping that the British will make some similar compromise in regard to Albania. BYRNES AND BATTLESHIPS Secretary of the Navy Forrestal was irked when War Mobilizer Byrnes chopped 72 warships off the Navy's program, but the Admirals were not merely irked. They were fighting mad—especially Admiral Ernie King. Byrnes had found out that the Navy was planning these ships for post-war, not this war. He knew their construction would take away valuable steel from the Army and other strategic uses. For instance, the tractor and farm-machinery program is sched- uled for a cut of about 40 per cent because the Army claims it is already short of steel. This, despite the desperate need of producing more food. So Byrnes figured the post-war ships could wait until afier the war, since they won't be finished for two years or so any- way. Also he figured that it was perhaps the job of Congress — not the Admirals—to decide how big the post-war Navy should be. All of which nearly broke the hLeart of Admiral King. He had been talking for months of starting now to build a post-war Navy; also had been indiscreet regarding the| country — now an ally — against which those ships might be used. Maybe this also got back to Byrnes. CIRCUS GOES TO JAIL The Circus stopped in Washing- ton to water the animals the other day on its regular trip north. It stopped a little sorrowfully. There was none of the blare and fanfare and braggadocio of the old days. It was going north to open a new season and try to pay several million dollars to the victims of the Hartford fire, after which its vice- president, its manager, its canvas- man, its seatman, and several others will swrender in Hartford to go to jail, * * Haley, vice-president and director, |is a long, slab-sided chap from Ala- bama, who is called “Slim” and is| thin anyway., But now he has lost 130 pounds and is literally wasting 'away. | Twenty years ago he came down |to Sarasota, Florida, from the Ala- bama sandhills without a nickel in slaved his way up until he was appointed general manager of the |Ringling estate.
