Hittoiy's mightiest fleets are pouring men aid supplies Into Pa
cific island ports such as this one for the final crushing blow
. against Japan,
By THOMAS M. JOHNSON
WASHINGTON, (NEA) While
the world gazed in fascination
toward Europe and the greatest
victory in military annals, allied
commanders wore quietly solving
a vast problem in logistics
transportation and- supply j
which is the buildup for D day in
Asia. '
From six continents and seven
seas we arc assembling, mostly
around a few islands, what will
be the most powerful triphibious
forces ever deployed. By air, sea
and land they are assuming posi
tion to crush Japan as Germany
was crushed.
The pressure will come partly
from British, Indians, Anzacs,
French; Dutch, Chinese, and pro
bably Russians. But the direc
tion copies largely from our joint
chiefs of staff in Washington, the
execution from American admir
als and generals and from Am
erican forces which will .be per
haps twice our present Pacific
strength of around 2,500,000.
Army alone may send 2,000,000
from here and Europe, using improved-
shipping methods.
Already Pacific bases arc being
prepared by engineers newly ar
rived with materials from Eng
land. .' Air fprcc ground and
bomber crews arc also leaving
there. Bombers, freed by the
Luftwaffe's debacle, will be fol
lowing soon. Astronomical quan
tities, of bombs already are go
ing. Next will come armored
divisions, which the Japs have
never faced.
Successful invasion of sacred
Honshu would doom Japan. For
Japan, despite reports, cannot
long support her armies on .in
dustries outside the home islands.
In Manchukuo, in China, and
farther south, the limbs could be
chopped off more easily if the
heart had sloped. So this might
be the quickest, hence the cheap
est, route to victory.
Stuffs Sort Plans
Both plans and several vari
ants have been mulled over by
the Joint and combined chiefs of
staff in their Washington head
quarters. They have also con
sulted the Russians who, In mili
tary matters, hard-headedly ask
"Why?" but, once convinced are
terrific.
The Japs know that. And they
arc concentrating so strongly in
Manchukuo that international
law would call it a provocation
justifying Russia in taking steps.
Aand it appears that she may
take them.
By then we should have
achieved our logistic miracle and
built up troops and supplies for
D day in the Pacific. Then the
world will be set for the greatest
last act ever staged by. Mars.
Labor and Farmers
Join Opposition to
Peacetime Draft
WASHINGTON, June 13 (UP)
The nation's major labor or
ganizations and two lending farm
groups lined up with church and
educational leaders today in op
posing a permanent peacetime
draft.
Statements opposing a postwar
compulsory military training pro
gram were submitted to the house
postwar military policy commit
tee by the American Federation
of labor and th-j nation grange.
Similiar statements were slated
to be offered by the congress of
industrial organizations, t h e
United automobile workers (CIO)
and lha national farmers union.
Lewis G. Hines, AFL legisla
tive representative, told the com
mitter that his organization
stands on a motion it adopted last
February which said:
"We are opposed to compulsory
military training and in no event
should the mutter be considered
until after demobilization of the
armed forces. In the meantime
this federation advocates a com
prehensive program of improved
education and health service lor
the youth of the nation,"
Albei t S. Goss, grange master,
said his organization opposed any
action "until the terms of any in
ternational agreement are known
and until the men at the front
have ample opportunity to par
ticipate in the determination or
policies so far-reaching." The
grange also is opposed to main
taining n large standing army.

CJn the loft sleeve of the uniform worn by

The proud possessors of "stars and bars" help
io form the solid foundation of a railroad's per
sonnel. Because of their intimate knowledge of
operating rules, equipment and facilities . . . the
many situations and problems they have met
and solved . . . they are of tremendous assist
ance to younger men.
Among the 65,000 Union Pacific employes
there are approximately 7,000 "old timers"
representing all departments with twenty or
more years of service. These experienced em-
ployes have, in a largo measure, been respon
sible for the enviable record maintained by
Union Pacific in the face of wartime conditions.

The transportation of many thousand trainloads
of troops and materials over the Strategic Mid
dle Route, uniting the East with the West Coast,
calls for the wisdom and cool judgment of ma
turity coupled with the ambition and tireless
enorgy of younger employes.
Union Pacific is proud of all its employes, re-'
gardless of length of service, for the job they
are doing to help speed the hour of victory.
