The Navy and the War
TOMORROW Ja Navy Day.
Each year, the birthday of Theodore Roosevelt
is set aside in recognition of the role of the American
Navy in the history of this nation. It is a time to re
call the exploits of John Paul Jones, Lawrence, Far
ragut and Dewey.
But today a new and glorious chapter in American
naval history is being written. It is a chapter of high
courage, supreme adventure. It is a story which, in
the words of Stanley Johnson, has "more action, more
thrills than the wildest pulp magazine thriller."
Indeed, this second wartime Navy Day has greater
significance than at any time since it was first ob
served in 1922." Today, the Navy and Marines are
carrying the fight to the foe attaching vigorously
and effectively on the seven seas.
"TWO major blows were dealt the American Navy
since the first Navy Day observance.' The first
was at the treaty table, the second at f earl Harbor.
Because of both, the early days of this war were dark,
indeed. In those first days the Navy had little but
supreme courage with which'to combat a well pre
pared and dangerous enemy. With bitter tenacity
our sea forces battled against overwhelming odds
from Manila down through the Dutch East Indies to
the very shores of Australia. They were "expend
able" while we marshalled our new naval might.
We have come a long way since Navy Day a year
ago.
Then we were fighting the Japanese on Guadal
canal. It was on May 7th of that year, however, when
the real turning point in South Pacific naval action
took place in the Coral Sea. One month later, close on
the heels of the Coral Sea victory, came the crushing
defeat of the Nipponese fleet at Midway. The Navy
had come into its own. Then began the inexorable
surge against the foe that is slowly and surely driving
him back an attack born of a new and mighty naval
strength.
Yankee courage, production and ingenuity had
turned the tide I
fUR pre-war fleet comprised 1076 vessels. Today
the Navy is waging war upon five oceans with
the greatest fleet in the history of the world 14,072
fighting ships with a total displacement of five mil
lion tons. Today's naval air force boasts thousands
of planes, in fact eleven times the strength of Pre
Pearl Harbor days. What a tribute to American pro
duction I
In an address before Oregon newspaper publish
ers last summer, James Forrestal, undersecretary of
the Navy revealed that a new engineering achieve
ment enables American warships to consume 35 per
cent less fuel through "adaption of high pressure,
high temprature steam.". That gave our fighting
ships insuperable advantage in maneuvering on the
broad Pacific. Kadar has been another factor in our
sea victories. Helicopters, operating from small car
riers, are helping to hold the enemy -U-boats at bay.
These are tributes to American ingenuity!
America is heartened by the exploits of this
greater Navy. We have much to celebrate this year
so much more than a year ago. Today the Navy
IS a "Spearhead ot Victory."
AND, as a post-script to these comments, let us

Pass the Senate Resolution
Article 10 killed the League of Nations as far as
U. S. participation was concerned.
Had it not been for" this article or if President
Wilson had been willing to compromise regarding
it the United States probably would have joined
the League and the present war might well have been
avoided.
Undoubtedly to avoid a similar tragedy the Sen
ate resolution now being debated in the Upper House,
favoring international action to maintain post-war
peace, is very brief and general in its terms.
Here it is:
"Resolved, that the war against all our enemies be waged
until complete victory Is achieved.
"That tha United States cooperate with Its comrades-in-arms
in securing a just and honorable peace.
"That the United States, acting through Its constitutional
processes, join with free and sovereign nations in the estab
lishment and maintenance of international authority, with
power to prevent aggression and to preserve the peace of
the world."
A hot verbal fire is being directed against the pro
posal, not as yet by the isolationists, or the Republican
"die-hards," but by radical anti-isolationists like Sen
ator Ball of Minnesota, and radical Anglophiles like
benator fepper of Florida, one of the administra
tion's most vehement supporters. All the left-wingers
are apparently against the proposal also, wishing a
more explicit and binding agreement
THE Mail Tribune "'fit and'bled" for the first
League of Nations and will do whatever it can to
secure congressional support for a similar covenant
following this war.
But we agree entirely with those who want only a :
brief and indefinite commitment AT THIS TIME, the j
details to be worked out later.
Such action would remove the fear of our allies j
that this country is at heart isolationist and after tho
war would shy at any "foreign entanglements" as it :
did two decades ago, and at the same time such a '
measure can be passed now, and the real danger of
imposing terms and regulations which might not fit
the post war conditions at all, can be avoided. i

If Mr. Brown saw these things
coming, he chose the right time
to leave, while his OPA has es
tablished at least a semblance
of orderly price restraints.
The whole price-wage Ques
tion now has been thrown into
a battle of statistics. Mr. Brown
says prices have gone up only
12 per cent, weekly wages 33
per cent, corporate profits 13
per cent since Pearl Harbor
implying labor has received
more than Its share already.
nTHE United States Chamber of
Commerce has figures show
ing wages are up 214 timet (a.
most tripled) since" 1939.
But the labor leaders say that
15 per cent increase allowance
of the littlir steel formula it not
enough to pay the increased cost
of living since January 1942 and
they must have more money.
Thus, figures do lie. Statistics
are like rubber-bands which can
be stretched to nearly any de
sired reasonable length. You can
make them say practically any
thing you want by two methods
commonly practiced now in and
out of the government.
The first Is to choose a 'past
period for comparison which
will Justify your political atti
tude. Next, you can stretch your
figures perhaps 00 per cent or
more either way by a choice se
lection of items to be considered.
(These are never made public.)
For instance, you can still
count furniture, new automo
biles, washing machines and re
frigerators In the cost of living,
although no one can get any.
You can prove wages hava not
increased much by including
white collar workers outside th
unions, or you can prove they
hava quadrupled by counting

ous increases have been granted
