WAR SECRETARY STIMSON, who seldom tells us anything but can nearly always be believed when he dors talk, tells his press conference in Washington that nt Cassino "the simple fact Is that the Germans STOPPED us." He adds: "Cassino would be a severe set back ONLY if we did not profit from pur lessons. We have learn ed u groat many things since the war began and we have put our learning Into practice. There is ho reason lo believe thai our ability to profit from experience has ended now." BK FORE becoming loo critical of Cassino, It will be- well for us to remember that ul bloody Tarawa we learned the lessons that served us so well in the high ly successful taking of the stra tegic Marshall Islands. SO far as we uninformed specta tors here at home can see, the battle In Hurnfa is still a broken field with no certainty as to where the ball may be. The Japs are still hilling hard above Imphal at our China sup ply route, l.utest available dis patches say there is "heavy and continuous fighting" there, with "lillle change In the situation." At the same time, we're hitting hard at their tail supply line to their big base at Myilkyinn, in northern Burma.

Stanton WHAT do the boys overseas think of the folks back home? We have seen a great number of letters from service men and it seems their complaints of the home front are increasing alarmingly. In place of the unity we need at home and abroad and the spirit of cooperation and support that should exist between the fighting forces and the homo folk, we seem to have in creasing disunity, suspicion, selfishness and greed. Much of our domestic division is purposely created by political leaders, hoping, through factionalism, to maintain them selves in power. But when lack of harmony on the home front begins to stir suspicion in the minds of fighting men overseas, a dangerous and critical condition is in the making. As an illustration of the thoughts in the minds of service men, wc quote briefly from letters written from combat areas. Pf'C 31. N. Eastman writes from the South Pacific to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. It. A. Kastnian, of Winston : "I just read in the paper about another strike in a defense plant. Jt seems to me that all those people who are striking do not care if tins war never comes to an end. Every time they strike they are helping out the Japs. For all those who are doing something to help w in and get this war over, (here always are some who are trying to make more money, find they are helping the Japs every time by thinking ex clusively of themselves. Every time they strike they are holding up equipment, and we sure can't fight wilh our bare hands. Hut maybe they think we can." From another theater writes Sergeant Peter W. Todd, who, in a letter to his brother, Francis Todd, Oakland, Ore., tells of combat with the Japanese, in which the enemy, fac ing death from the advancing Americans, "sounded like a bunch of goats bawling." j "Our boys took everything like real soldiers. When a j man got hurt he kept a smile on his face. If only the peo- j pie back home could have witnessed a lot of those things, j they wouldn't be squawking for higher wages. It really j is a beautiful picture the people at home striking for j higher wages. They are already getting more than we are, but we can't strike. We must pay a very high price with j good American blood. Yes, it really makes us feel mighty I proud of our dear old home country when the people let us down and go on strike for a four-cent raise." In a different vein, but still critical of the attitude of the home front, Lieutenant Leland Russell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph L. Russell of Roseburg, writing from England, says: "Today I read something that sort of made mo mad. People at home, some people, arc criticizing the army for using flame throwers against the Japs. That is going too far. Against certain kinds of emplacements a flame throw er is indispensable. Without them those boys might have been thrown back into the Pacific with terrific losses. "There is nothing pretty about war. There never will he. Most of us have come lo the point where we are willlne to use most anything to win. Alter all, which Is worse, a bullet or the flame? Both are deadly, both hideous. Hoth are means to an end. In our hands and properly used, both will aid in gelling Ibis thing over sooner. On'e'tlmv j. one falls, so we must use the oilier. K "It you could take a poll today, I imagine that you would bo surprised by the number of soldiers who would tell you to use anything Just o get this over and get home. "Those home front sob sisters had better mend their ways. This bunch of soldiers will not forget." "Soldiers will not form't!" Therein lies the great danger. When they liave seen war prolonged lor political purposes; when they have seen com rades fall in frenzied battle because equipment was not available, yet hearing of strikes in production plants; when Ihey hear and read of the vapoutings of the super idealists, the brotherly-love individuals, listening all the while lo the groans of comrades who have been torn by shrapnel or mu tilated by barbarous booby traps, it is plain to see why the lighting forces are losing confidence in the home front. They aie not aoie to comprehend the behind-the-scenes forces j which are at work smearing, dividing, sowing seeds of dis- J unity and factionalism. Such things should not exist in I these perilous times. The soldier cannot realize thai his j sacrifice is being betrayed by political leaders and selfish pressure groups and (hat a complacent public is not uniting j to combat such insidious influences.
