U. 5. Superority in the Air
The most cheering feature of the war at present,
is U. S. superiority in the air.
This is particularly noticeable in the Pacific area,
and has been generally true from the outset
Yesterday in what General MacArthur's headquar
ters termed the "biggest outburst of aerial warfare in
the Australian area since the Coral Sea battle,"
U. S. airmen shot down nine Jap raiding planes, set
a Jap transport afire, shot up its destroyer escort,
downed a couple of Jap fighting planes, and all with
the loss of only one American plane, the pilot of
which parachuted to safety.
WE have no official statistics at hand, but that
certainly has been more or less the consistent
aerial pattern since December 7th last. And as Amer
ican plane production increases and fighting skill as
well, the superiority of the 'Yanks" should become
even more outstanding.
In fact if this war is to be finally determined in
the air, and that has been the contention of most
military experts from the outset, we fail to see how
a decisive allied victory can be avoided.
Certainly war news today is bad only from the
Russian front, where German airmen apparently still
hold an edge, a superiority which is difficult to
overcome only because of the obstacles in U. S. trans
Dort. Undoubtedly when the Red Army DOES gain
air superiority, and eventually ' it should, there,
too, we will read a very different story.
In Africa even the Axis admits the allies nave
control in the air, during
German and Italian planes,
skies, entirely.
OF course no war can be won by air fighting
ALONE.
But if that combat-arm IS the most important fac
tor in successful modern warfare, then the worm
which has been turning with monotonous regularity
against the United Nations of late, should soon be
turning back again.

A Great War Movie
If the aim of creative art is to hold a mirror up to
nature then M-G-M's "Mrs. Miniver" is a thoroughly
artistic moving picture, and considering its source
a great one.
tor its source is Hollywood.
And Hollywood except in rare moments of inspira
tion, makes no effort to hold a mirror up to nature,
but only up to artificial eye-lashes, osculatory fade-
outs, and naval battles in a
MOT so with "Mrs. Miniver."
11 Here is a mirror held up to embattled England
.s it is, or was around the time of Dunkirk, a
sincere artistic and as a result, extremely convincing
job of putting typiaal British upper-class war psychol
ogy on the silver screen.
And, as we see it at least, it IS typical, from re
sourceful and competent Mrs. Miniver through the
obsequious, hat-tipping station master, to the haughty
and arrogant Lady Beklen, who doesn t need a lorg
nette or a pearl dog-collar to make her the perfect
up-stage "DUCHESS".
COME may feel the absence of "blood and sweat" in
" this film, There is neither, nothing so crude.
But that we feel is after all highly characteristic of
the upper middle-class England which is depicted.
They endure bombings and they DIE, but all with a
certain detachment and decorum and good taste, the
"blood and sweat" are observed in other, and more
thickly populated, also less conventional, quarters.
DUT plenty of "tears".
" And the more copious for the restraint observed
in both action and direction. One of the most natural
and sweetest young girls ever to "make good" in
Hollywood, has to die; but there are no melo
dramatics, not even DRAMATICS in the conven
tional theatrical sense of the term, it is all done in
the best possible manner, and those who feel the trag
edy most keenly, rise above the immediate heart
break and in true BRITISH FASHION cany onl
Such restraint may appear to some not typical of
what is generally termed a "people's" war, but cer
tainly lb typical of the people in Lngland at the time
of Dunkirk, who could, as these people could
afford new convertible motor cars, prize rose gar
dens, and a "nice little place" in the country.
In fact it is literally holding up a minor to that
section of England, as we see it, holding it with
steady hand and a keen eye, that has resulted in
(i.M.G. producing the best war film of the season
thus far.
AS for the cast, only superlatives are here in order.
" Walter Pigeon and Miss Greer G arson take the
leads, and they are excellent as usual, but youth and
old age steal the show, Lady Belden for the latter,
her daughter and Young Miniver just out of Oxford,
the former.
In fact these CHILDREN are so good, and so
UN-Hollywoodish, that one is only troubled by the
fear, that their simplicity and naturalness and charm
will not last, if they are acclaimed for their work
in this film as they deserve to be, and remain in the
t nervating and effete atmosphere of the movie Mecca
of Southern California very long.

plicated traffic problems of put
ting as mnny as a thousand
ships Into the air over a single
city at different levels and in
consecutive attacking squadrons.
When you figure that the
Germans have hundreds of in
dustrial cities spread all through
Europe, over a much wider area
than the industry of England,
and face all other practical limi
tations, you will see fully the
difficulty of wiping out Ger
many by this means.
It is easy to talk of mustering
the 5.000 bombers necessary for
sustained super bombing at
tacks, but quite another thing to
get a thousand of them In the
air half the time.
. .
THERE is no question about
the damage done when they
hit. The British have accurate
reports of damage done, these
hovina seeDed out through Swit
zerland from the accounts of
neutral consuls (largely Latin
American) in the German cities
which have been attacked, and
from travelers and German
newspapers reaching neutral
ground. No neutral report is
necessary, however.
Everyone knows the damage
the Germans did in Britain and
they never put into the air more
than 300 planes at night. The
nazis leveled Coventry in a few
nights, never using a third as
many bombers as the British can
occasionally put into the air
now.
Thus while this aerial battle
ground, sometimes called the
second front (first in this col
umn) can be accounted a sub
stantial success so far. there are
few who believe It will be able
to take the place of a second
front by land invasion, ni. mat
ter how greatly it is expanded.
British losses have averaged
slightly less than five per cent,
which makes raiding entirely
successful from that standpoint,
but it Is difficult to believe
super bombing can do more than
soften Germany frr invasion.

From Washington. D. C
Congressmen Face
Question Flood
Japs Continue
Aleut Landings
Northwest Has
Dandelion Soil
By John W. g.lly
Washington, D. C. July 31
There Is welling up in the
country a series of questions,
which congressmen report as
they go home and return to the
national capital, and which are
coming with increasing persist
ence in congressional mail. Sam
ples: What has been done with
the billions of dollars that have
been appropriated? Why are
American soldiers and mater
ial being scattered broadcast
over the face of the earth and
the United States being neglect
ed? The Aleutians and Alaska
are our possessions; the Japa
nese have gained a foothold
the first enemy to invade our
land why doesn't the army or
navy, or both, send a force to
eject them instead of mobilizing
an army in England and north
ern Ireland to invade Europe?
Why does the United States
give so much attention to Hitler
when the Japanese are our im
mediate enemy? Why do we
have to wait a month or more
before a communique is issued
on an engagement, and this
never gives the whole story?
Senators and representatives
either dodge the questions or
admit that they are as much
in the dark as the general pub
lic. All that a member of con
gress knows is what appears in
the press, and what between
army and navy Information bu
reaus and the office of the cen
sor, press reports are sketchy.
There are restrictions on pub
lishing the casualty lists and if
the list is a long one it Is cut
up into "takes," released on
different dates in different parts
of the country, apparently on
the theory that these grim re
minders of war will have a bad
effect on the morale of the peo
ple. All the facts of Pearl Har
bor have never been revealed.
United Nations forces have
consistently been taking a beat
ing, with the exception of the
Coral sea and the Midway en
gagements. The United States
has been given the task of
fighting the battle of the Paci
fic alone without having a large
body of troops anywhere and
with most of the fleet in the
Atlantic convoying troops and
material to the allies. People
want to know why high ad
ministration officials are an
nouncing plans for remaking the
world when there is no prospect
in sight of an early peace and
things are not going too well
for the allies.
AS these inquiries are pro
pounded, the hobnail shoes of
Japanese invaders are crushing
violets, buttercups, larkspur
and anemones on at least three
islands of the Aleutians as they
prepare bases and flying fields
and transports disembark more
of the armed little people. They
keep Inching toward the main
