Paris newspapers used the term "ultimatum" in describing Churchill's note asking Sen. De Gaulle to halt French military activity- in Syria, but discussed the situation in generally moder ate terms. Some French newspapers did not comment at all. Others cau tioned Britain that "appease ment" of the Arabs in the case of Syria held dangerous poten tialities for Britain elsewhere in the middle east. Some criticized Gen. De Gaulle for taking a more aggressive attitude than French strength justifies. The general tone. . however, was of injured French pride, rather than concern.

"By maintaining our army at this size," the president said, ,"we shall be able to more than double the force we now have in the Pacific and hurl against the Japanese an overseas force larger than the 3,500,000 men who united with our allies to crush the wehrmacht and the luftwaffe." The president said the strength of 7,000,000 men was decided on by the joint chiefs of staff after a consultation with General Douglas MacArthur and Admiral Chester Nimitz.

EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Past One) thing short of unconditional sur render. They ought to know better, he aaaa grimly. SO far, Churchill has been the great war reporter. But even Churchill, as his troubles multi ply and his opposition rises, is slipping a lituc. He informs less, and preaches more, Truman today seems Intent only on telling us what we are entitled to know and what he alone can disclose. He seems to realize that only the MAN AT THE TOP can cut through the mazes (and ottcn tho absurd ities) of the censorship and give the American people a clear and understandable picture of what is going on. If he keeps it up, he may in time overcome the skepticism, the cynicism and the utter lack of belief in ANYTHING the government tells us that are now and for a long time have been hampering so gravely the home front conduct of the war. THERE is little of a startling nature in tne dispatches to day. x jap opposition on Okinawa is beginning to crumble. We make gains ot up to half a mile in spots. Shurl tails to us.

The Chinese claim to be chasing the Japs north ward from Foochow, A Chinese army spokesman says Chiang's forces are inten sifying their preparations for a GRAND GENERAL OFFEN SIVE, and predicts that this will be .launched "earlier than planned." The Paris radio says both the Russians and the Japs are CONCENTRATING TROOPS on the Manchurian border. We hit Osaka with a 600 plane raid 450 B-29s escorted from Iwo by 150 fighters and drop 3200 tons of fire bombs on the city's war industries, shipyards and .harbor facilities and rail yards. THE situation in Syria looks - a little less menacing at the moment. The British bluff seems to have worked, at least temporarily, and the French nave quit shooting. French public - opinion, ' as nearly as can be judged by cen sored dispatches, doesn't seem unduly indignant over the Brit ish action. It is a fair guess that the ruckus isn't entirely over. It's a certainly that there will be plenty more like it before the European business is settled. Woman's Home .
