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.

THEY WILjL
By Charles V. 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.
