Deserters at the front are few and far between. The number of votes polled here | morrow, compared with the nuniber of zens eligible to vote, will tell how many de- serters we have here. ENCOURAGING WAR OBSERVATIONS | The war outlook is not calculated to | but its assured unless Hitler can pull a few rabbits out of his hat. There are several velopments, including: (1) The clear fact that Germany has not yet won her campaign against Russia and that the Nazis must accomplish more in the !ast half of the fighting season than | they have in the first period to make the 1942 campaign a success. (2) The fact that the United States encouraging de- Navy is now strong enough to risk a deci-| sive sea battle with the Japanese fleet. This was the plain invitation extended to the | Japanese by the attack upon the Solomon | Islands. The quick sweep of the Japs through the Far East was the result of over. whelming sea control, as much as air pow and trained soldiers. (8) The increasing activity of Amer- ican aerial forces all over the globe. . This | means that certain preliminary work has been accomplished, that bases, etc., have been established and that, from now on, our aircraft will help beat down and Japanese superiority at places of con- tact. (4) The clearer understanding and | growing solidarity that exists between ihe United States, Great Britain, Russia China as to the strategy of the war and ihe goals of the peace to be enforced and main- tained. Moreover, the U-Boat campaign seems te be less dangerous, our shipyards are fz constructing tonnage, our war productior is increasing and our soldiers and sailors are becoming hardened and ready for any eventuality that may face them. LET EXPERTS RUN THE WAR There have been constant references, in the press and on the air, to what com mentators described as a lack of an ade- quate war program and the inference has been rather freely promulgated that much civilian control is hampering the n tary men in the conduct of the war. We doubt if there is an official, too in | high public office today, either in Great | Britain or the United States, who would at- | tempt to tell the admirals and the generals exactly how the war must be won. The con- sensus of opinion is that this war must be other functions to perform. Much the same observation applies to | helter-skelter efforts to hasten a second front, or any ather venture on the field of battle. There was, not so many weeks ago, something like a persistent campaign io put the pressure on the Navy to “do some- thing in the Ajleutians.” There will be similar popular efforts to prod responsible officers and officials, in | telation to specific objectives, but the aver- age American will do wel! not to become “steamed up” over such issues, | | Teto, \ jmecessary in the case of R.
