Although her army now numbers only around 75,000 men, whose training appears to the observer inferior to that of our pre-war national guard outfits and whose equipment is scanty, the southerly neigh bor can be extremely helpful. The zone of belligerency against Hitler would be made unbroken from the North Pole to and through the vital Panama Canal, including the islands of the Caribbean. Thus there would remain no haven for axis spies, saboteurs and propagandists; increased control could be exercised over spots physically suitable for secret axis flying fields. Don't Envy the WPB A HEN you have to sit at home for lack of gas, and your t coffee tastes bitter, and you hear there may be a shortage of golf balls, and life seems hardly worth the living, don t envy the war Production Board. That group's latest undertaking is to standardize cosmet Ics. They propose to ban some as non-essential and curtail others. They talk of eliminating certain shades and colors. Ye gods! Think of the howl that will go up when a thous and women who have doted each on her distinctive per fume go to the store, and find let us say only two dozen different odors to be had. We'd hate to be in the WPB s Division of Industry Operations on that terrible day. Nurses Needed THE Red Cross is faced with the task of finding about a thousand nurses a month, for the rest of this year, for the Army and Navy. The rapid expansion of our armed forces, and their movement into the fighting zones, make it certain that a tremendous expansion of the nursing service will be re quired. If this is to be orderly, with the minimum of upset to civilian institutions, it must be planned now. The Red Cross must learn upon whom our soldiers and sailors can count. Aussies Run 2V2 Miles Per Week in Full Equipment And li's Just for Practice By BRYDON C. TAVES SOMEWHERE IN AUSTRALIA, May 30 (UP) The Aus tralians are ready to roll into battle with a crack mechanized division, its equipment all American and its tactics based on in telligence reports of the great Russ ian tank engagements. Its men are tough as nails members of an old Australian lighthorse cavalry regiment. Once a week, to keep tbem fit for the terrific pounding they take in mechanized warfare. they must run miles cross country in battle dress. The course record is 15 minutes, 45 seconds. Any man failing to finish in 25 minutes, must dig an air-raid slit trench as a pen alty. Every man in the division must wear his gas mask one hour each day, I toured this important Joint Australian-American camp area today in a Jeep, medium tank, and Bren gun carrier. The Australians man the mechanized division and the Americans are learning other lorms oi warfare. The mechanized force, accord ing to Brigade Commander Mai. M. H. McArthur, is built around American medium tanks, which mount heavy cannon and machine-guns, and light tanks with small cannon and machine guns. The tanks I saw were built by Chrysler, Baldwin Lo comotive and Standard-Pullman. The division is now seeking Its own aerial support force which must be obtained from the Royal Australian air force, McArthur said. The technicians are leaning toward American methods in keeping their equipment in shape and the division works three eight-hour shifts daily to be ready to hit the road ar.r- where at a moment's notice. I rode around the camp in a light tank, sitting in the turret behind a cannon and peering out through the gunner's peri scope. The din inside was like that of a boiler factory. Later, riding a Bren gun car rier, I followed 100 tankmen on their weekly cross-country trip acrou a muddy meadow and over ; and around hills in their heavy shoes and carrying full packs. Despite the gruelling stretch, all returned unexhaust ed, lined up smartly and marched briskly to their tents for a shower before dinner. Before touring the Australian section of the camp, Lieut. Col. J. C. Downing of Spokane, Wash., took me on a hair-raising 30-mile Jeep ride through the American training area. He Jockeyed the jeep over tortuous, muddy country, driv ing it through hub-deep mud and plunging through creeks with the water cascading over the jeep's top. Downing halted the Jeep and we watched Col. William G. Purdy, veteran professional sol dier formerly with the Oregon national guard, put a heavy weapons company through a mortar drill from a ridge over looking flat pastures from which the sheep only recently had been driven.

This year we pause in war work to look upon the in spirations left us by our war dead. There is nothing unusual about death. Like birth, it is the commonest of all natural heritages. No one will escape it. Even the son of God chose to experience it in its harshest form. Our mourning, therefore, is tempered by the knowledge that there is only one thing we. ourselves, can do about it. We can die well, according to our beliefs, the democratic beliefs of our country and our personal re ligious beliefs. From these inevitable thoughts, all of us turn on this day to the obvious conclusion that our active duty is to the living, or as Lincoln expressed it, to dedicate ourselves to the cause that these shall not have died in vain. There will be many sugges tions urged in news of this day, in speeches and statements of important people as to how we can insure the future in this re spect, how we can now with our modern enlightenment, finally achieve a permanency of peace atter this war. But the most important con sideration is likely to be forgot ten. FUNNY BUSINESS "He used lo be a trailer snlf!snuin.and he simply can't forget business 1" LESSON OF WAR If we can always remember what we, as a unified nation, thought when we were plunged into this conflict, what we knew then (in the dismal failure of our freshly discovered error) was the only sure way to keep the peace, if we can engrave it on every stone in the land so that it will always be in the minds of our children and children's chil dren that never again may they stray off the path into soft peace time delusions of unwarranted safety, then we will have achieved the proper goal of this day. Remember what we all thought December 7. Here we were attacked. We had chosen to believe that after six thousand years, human na ture throughout the world had suddenly changed after 1917 and that all men henceforth would live up to the angelic Christian goals of peace through prom ises. We had treaties with Drac- iicany everyone. "No nation," they said, "will ever be cruel enough to plunge the world into war again. They haye promised." So we plugged along with a one-ocean fleet and an army of isu.ooo men, believing in the se curity of oceans, the safety of treaties (remember the Kellogg pact renouncing war) and "the universal brotherhood of man." We were unprepared to de fend ourselves. We let ourselves become passive, soft, foolish and weak. We let others believe they could beat us. So thev tried. You may only keep the peace by keeping the greatest army and navy in the world, our ex perience tells us. Trust not in treaties. Keep your powder 'dry and keep more of it than any one else has. Keep this nation ever afterward supreme on land, sea and in the air. Safeguard your Christian virtues and ideals with armor not with words. NOBLE IDEAS Now if you want to use your world position to spread prin ciples of humanity (which mny or not be accepted) if you want new and better league of nations (which may or not work) if you want everyone to have a quart of milk a day around the world at our expense, all right. Those ideas are noble, beauti ful, inspiring. No doubt the world will some day come to them, when fully enlightened man has ceased to be envious of his neighbor or ceased to covet his neighbor's goods, when all his nations are pleased with their lot in the world and want no more of anything. Then this will be a peaceful, happy world. Unfortunately there is no evi dence that any man or any lnrge group of men anywhere In the world have reached that benign state yet. Until they do, you cannot depend on benignancy In any form to keep the peace unless, perchance, it mny have a bigger gun, a bigger airplane, a stronger tank behind it. Remember first that no one quarrels with Joe Louis. Keep a strong right arm. Trade with all. Be friendly and just to all but first be just to yourself. There are still 30.000 Ameri can soldiers buried on foreign fields (England, France. Bel gium) from the last World war that was to end all war. They remember that we were unpre pared then, just as we were un prepared this time. Better spend your monev for guns that you may keep your butter. Radio Day by Day PEACE PLANS Fortune magazine conducted a poll (June issue) on post-war considerations, asking many questions, but not one about whether people thought secur ity should be sought in this new way through benign strength. The largest portion but still a minority of the people (34.3 -per cent) told Fortune they favored trying "to form a new league or association with all the differ ent nations of the world," in preference to the five alterna tives which Fortune submitted. However, a larger number than that (44.2 per cent) wanted eith er to stay at home hereafter, concentrate on hemispheric de fense or refrain from "actual ties with any other country." The people rouRhly seem I equally divided on the subject of to be or not to be an interna tional peace leader by the com monly discussed means, with the 0.6 per cent of "don't knows" holding the balance of power to decide. Obviously any political peace plan is going to have hard sled ding acquiring the necessary na tional unity for Its success.

May 30 (UP The bureau of immigra tion today received a telographic warrant for the arrest of Harry Bridges, CIO longshore louder, whoso deportation hna been or- ooreo rjy Attorney General Fran cis Biddle. Bridges will be asked to ap pear Monday at the Immigra tion office. It was announced. The warrant was cxnrrtrH tn oo me signal for the starting of a long legal fight which will un doubtedly lead to the U. S. su preme court, in line with Bld dle'i expressed wish. Simultaneous with the release of a 500-word statement In which he termed tho deportation order "outrageous," Bridges wired Donald Nelson, chairman of the war production board, that he would urge "all workers and I unions 1 can Influence to re double efforts In speeding pro duction to win the main fight the fight against the axis." The deportation order was based on three conclusions: That the communist party of the United Stutes advocutos over throw of this government by force and violence; that Bridges, since his entry Into this country in 1920 has been a member of tho communist party, and that he has been affiliated with the Marine Workers Industrial un ion, at one time dominated by the communist party.
