Nar rf transcendent im portance are the comments of the various per sons or organizations involved. 1 . It is the cleavage hetween our -armed forces and the home, front that is disturbing beyond aU - words. " J . . , , . Servicemen from the combat rones, mostly in private conversations, lor many months liave made no secret of a belief that their companions in arms . were becoming inreasingly discour aged, irked or just plain mad. At the present time, particularly in -wax in dustries, strikes, lockouts or work-stoppages of ! any kind, or for any reason whatsoever, not on , ly are inexcusable bxtf traitoristic mo matter the provocation. The jproper recourse from ill-treatment, lies in our federal agencies, as slow as some of them may Jae. , And to the lasting credit 4if labor, by far its; larger proportion has carried on. with the same premise uppermost in mind. It has tamed in a record of unremitting effort and production far which, some of the boys on the ship Coos Bay itself, I from which letter purportedly came, al ready may owe their lives, t But! it Is beyond expectation that men in. the blood ! and flames of battle should sot literally see red when jthey hear even of an isolated in stance of a variation from the path of supreme effort to back them up; ; ' -j j : Some of the strikes to which the letter alludes so scathmgly have been conducted within labor ' unions. ; ;" : . ---j'-'- j ; ': -' - . ! And yet millions of our men: in uniform are i union members themselves. They know there make in regard to the blanket contention that I should be nothing whatever anomalous between a stale can control its own crops; H i unionism and patriotism as such. But as in all i. ; i- '4 " - other situations of 'conflicting views, there is a minute minority of die-hards who can't put - first things first. ' ; If labor is to take full advantage of its own , unquestioned contribution to the winning of this ' war, it has no, recourse but to reject and de nounce instantly every deviation from the un qualified no-strike pledge it took two years ago. It has done 'so in many -cases. In others, it has had no organized control. f ' No' good end; has been served by vindictive , 'statements against the press as a whole for pub , lishing. news, of strikes . or, tie-ups; The strikers . " or the employers made the news, not the press. Fairminded newspapers, and 'mere are many, have tried to deal fairly with the problem at hand. -i- :-v; ' " K . ' r y': : But under thepresent circumstances, it might be to the benefit of America and Americans were newspapers to re-value and balance the news at hand for a truer perspective. In other' words, it always has been the prac tice to record the fact that Joe Doakes shot Rob Roe., It. seldom is headlined that millions of other John Q. Citizens spent an industrious day without sinning, gave of their blood, prayed for their friends far away. . . Maybeuiow more stress than ever should be laidon the fact hat by far the biggest home front news is that more than 60,000,000 men and women today worked unceasingly in trying to give the .boys on the front lines the imple ments of war--not that 1000 lay down on the job, although the latter by no means should be ignored or in any sense condoned. -. -We've the greatest sympathy for the men of . the Coos Bay..

As a whole, they ' were definitely third rate. f . . . This1 is of highest importance because the war now has be come 'a taut rubber band. It is being Constantly stretched far ther; and farther. : It is Impos sible to say exactly; when and where it will break; yet the break certainly will be forced by the impetus of weakening morale. And it is at least clear now nazi fighting power is no more than a patchwork. If I -.--v -:. t- ' " This measure also gives the over-all picture of the battle. Dnly at certain points Was the conflict tough, but at these points, our casualties' were heavy. The Germans offered two strong tank bat tles against the British at Caen and Tilly. These at tacks were repeated, and the British were repulsed before they were able; to retake Tilly. At'Mohtebourg and Carentan in the American sector, we encountered costly fighting. At Monte bourg our men were driven back by superior pow er, yet in the end were able to retake the town. The famed ninth, division, which cut' across, the Cherbourg isthmus and Choked that city fought this isolated , bitter engagement. The nazia had cleverly defended orchards; wooded hills, anil particularly hedges along the roads.! After we had spanned the isthmus the going was easier, but we had trouble at Valognes. The Germans; tried hard to fight their way out of the Cherbourg entrapment, (but, 23,000 or rnora remnants of I three divisions were finally wall in Tunisia. While bttaera mat across, it was the nihth alone which Oierboufg U destroyed, 'it will be no toiore difficult lor us to use! than was KapleM There, we were able to re-esUbUsh docking facUiUes fn an In short, the .nazis now are tough only in spots. ' In the Pacific also, Jap morale is being "noticeably v stretched. If she had any airplane production com-, parable to ours, we would; not have dared go into , Saipan.-The bulk of what she has, is concentrated in. southern Japan, for home protection, ; and in north China. , v. j. '. 1 i ' The shock ,of losing : 300 naval : planes in our first landing operation, was a terrific blow, the ex- ' tent of which could be detected in the Jap broad casts. Their radioed accounts to their people seemed that "the importance of Saipan will not be over looked." . - , t r . But she would not have used these navy planes if she had had i what she primarily needed for the defense of Saipan-land-based air armadas sta tioned at the nearby islands, she controls In Burma and south China,- she likewise has not been able to 'show much strength above ground, and everyone knows the extensive losses to her ocean shipping. The desperttehess of her situation ii evident als6 behind the factihat she had to -send her fleet ta contest our Saipan operations. She could well risk " her entire sea battlepower at that point,' for if we get -Saipan andestablish our land-based bombers' there, we caa reduce j the nearby bases of Tinian (jusf about as well fortified as Saipan); Guam and Yap. Defense of her.homeland r her -shipping routes against those, bases would be impossible. ; Consequently," authoritif $ here have scaled for ward their various estimates as to when Japan will ; crack. The average estimate is that she will not last ' long enough to suffer "the final concentration of our fleet and air force after the defeat cf Gerrcary, but will surrender before Jthese forecs c''rej hr. ...... f tti Getting the Range!

The , custornarr -nicture kef Washington today is of a mad h o u s e confusion everywhere. Maybe that condition exists, but it is not evident to a superficial observer. : There are swarms of 'persons in military uniform; army khaki, navy khaki, light or dark lue and white, and quite ' a miscellany of uniforms for the women's 'military organization! '.with the summer seersucker of the WAVES perhaps the most comfortable though the least at tractive. Approaches ' to the Whites House . are blocked off. There! are : many posters and flags and war bond advertising, ' and civilian defense notices " V Very -little building- is going on, either s public , pr Z private, which! is quite unusual; and an other strikinz change is the . lack of summer tourists" 'who usually flock here In the vaca tion season. These are the chief visible; . indications " that Wash ington! is at war. I saw no signs ' of ; blundering bewilderment or distraught nerves; but that may be due to the fact that I wasn't ' trying i to land a contract or re negotiate one or get A priority, and didn't seek the lowdown from any of the political gos sips . kI v " I Liviag conditions in Washings , ton have not been particularly unpleasant, I was ;. informed. Housing has. been no more of a problem than in many other war-boom areas. I found buses and street' cars crowded, but so is 'our iChemeketa stree't bias in Salem.

There -are occasional political flareups -the minister to - Finland .was ,. given his walking papers one day. But the frantic scramble of 1942, the sudden burgeoning of war agencies and the descent of the i Coxey's army : of business smelling war profits this has pretty (well leveled off. Of course the good "war news eases the tension greatly. . 4 , . Recently a book was published giving-' an excellent picture of .' the nation's capital during the Civil war. I suppose a similar . task wul be attempted after this 1 war and maybe it -w i 1 1 take " three quarters of a century for the scene to be given its -proper perspective.
