But we cannot cpunt the cost pf war, "We can mpM!'n pur lierpic dead, but we must realistjpaly bear in mind the mili tary axiom that men and materials are pxpendabp. Military leaders cat Visually forecast in advance the prpb r.blo cost, both in materiel and men, pf apy combat operation. They do not often gamble. They venture pnly when they have definitely ascertained that the accomplishment is of greater importance than the prqbable Joss involved. Thp United Nations have one powerful factor in their favor. That is the factor qf production capacity. The whole war to dale has been fought with that one thought pre dominating. Our strategy has been planned to force our enemips to use their production resources to the fullest ex tent. The axis powers are definitely limited with regard to vital materials and prpduclipn capacity. The United Na tions in recent months have been outproducing the enemy I in every phase of manufacture. At the same time we have been crippling German war plants, gradually reducing their capacity yhjle buiding up our own. Tuesday's raid is definite evidence our leaders feel the utmost confidence we have reached the stage where we can lake full advantage of pur position. Germany's plane losses were, at least, fully equal to ours. We doubtless have more planes available for replacements than has Germany.

A lot of people, who are neither members nor officials of labor unions, will Join In, rpslstlng such a move. T HERE Is rising anger against the growing number of strikes In tills country. This rising anger is being reflected significantly In an increasing number of bitter letters from the men on (ho fighting fronts. This swelling tide of public opinion can't be ignored. This writer, however, believes there arp better ways than con scription of handling the admit tedly bad labor situation. We might, for pxample, overhaul the Wagner, act and similar laws In such a manner as to make them fairer, broader-minded, more lib eral and LESS PROVOCATIVE OF STRIKES.
