He declares that this period will be 1 more critical than the battles now being fought. Once hostilities in Europe end, man in that area will have “an overwhelming urge” to go troc every home. “Yet at that very moment it is imperative that | we start the movement of troops through the Suez | and through the Panama Canal of the units needed | in highest priority for the acceleration of the cam- | paign in the Pacific. Any delay, any loss of momentum | in that campaign means the unnecessary loss or | mutilation of more young Americans.” | Not all of the men now in Europe will be needed Asia undoubtedly there will be a par demobilization of our European forces. But the War Department is not announcing what plans it has, for the very good reason that they depend so much on factors outside its control or the control of anyone in the United States. They depend upon the enemy. No military commander today can do more than hazard an intelligent guess as to when the war in Germany will be over. Not even the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington, the supreme Allied military authorit w how much more fighting is necessary in the Pacific to bring about the complete defeat of Japan, nor how long it will take. They must plan for the worst No one can blame any American mother or wife | or setheart or father or brother other relative for hoping that their son or husband or fiance will be the to be sent home, the one who won't be needed in the Pacific. On V-E Day that hope and longing will assume an even greater urgency than they have today, when the war in Europe is not yet won The hard fact is that for many months after V-E | Day the men in uniform will still have many jobs to do in addition to whipping Japan: Germany will have in and entirely or one TUESDAY, MAY [, 194 mentally alert living quarters, How many syllables are there in the word “Niagara”?
