STRATEGY OF ATTACKING THE
AXIS WHILE HOLDING JAPAN
LOOKS LIKE WAY TO WIN
WAR
Major engagements in Africa,
Russia and the Solomons high
light the war news and emphasize
the two wars in which the United
Nations engage powerful enemies.
Here is a background study of the
position of the United States, with
an attempt to outline our broad
strategic problems.
The United States, after nearly
eleven months of war, has done lit
tle more than prepare for bitter
fighting ahead. Participation in
two wars on widely distant fronts,
involves the vast problems of mob
ilization and training millions of
men, the production of weapons,
equipment and supplies for allies
as well as our own growing forces
and, in addition, the transporta
tion of men and material across
thousands of miles of ocean, de
spite a determined enemy assault
at sea.
When one considers the magni
tude of our task and the long start
that our enemies had there is no
reason for any American to be dis
couraged and much ground for
solid satisfaction. Our areas of na
tional defense, after Pearl Harbor,
were located in Europe, Africa and
the Far East but, unfortunately,
this belated recognition did not
give us the army, navy and air
force required by our precarious
plight.
We Had to Get Ready to Fight
In appraising the war, from
week to week, it is essential to real
ize that our contribution, for many
months, was restricted by pre-ex
isting conditions. Meanwhile, un
til we could create and transport
strong striking forces, we were com
pelled to put our trust in the Brit
ish and Russians in Europe and on
the thin line that, with our allies,
we had arranged in the Far East.
Our task, in the beginning of a
double war, was essentially one of
defense and preparation but, to
understand the nature of our pres
ent position, it is vital to consider
the two wars separately. There is
no unity between the axis nations
in Europe and Japan in the Far
East except that which springs
from the advantages that accrue
to them.
The Situation in Our Two Wars
We must realize that this rela
tionship pis selfish and opportunist
and that we therefore wage two
unrelated wars. In Europe there
has been some improvement this
year, due almost exclusively to the
stubborn resistance of the Red
army, which has killed German sol
diers in large numbers. Regardless
of Russian losses, this means that
our enemy in Europe has been
weakened. „

To the Editor of The News:
For the benefit of Robert Donald
Allison’s many relatives, will you
please print this in your next issue.
He was on the U.S.S. Wasp, the
airplane carrier that sank on Sept.
15. He went overboard, but was
picked up five hours later by a de
stroyer and was brought to shore
in San Diego, Cal., unharmed. He
came home on the 20th of October,
but we didn’t’ know of the sinking
of the Wasp until we heard it an
nounced on the radio. We thought
something was wrong by him com
ing home. We hadn’t heard from
him in five months, but he wouldn’t
tell us. So will you please print
this so his relatives will know he
is safe. He was born in Summer
ville and lived there till he was 8
years old. He has lived in Sagi
naw, Mich., for the past twelve
years. His parents are Mr. and
Mrs. Ray Allison. He is the grand
son of Mrs. W. E. Bynum, of Sum
merville, Ga., and his grandfather,
Mr. J. C. Allison, is also in Sum
merville.
Respectively,
MRS. PEARL ALLISON.

Squids and Titbits
BY THE COUNTRY PARSON
If we would work as hard at our
task today as we worry about what
i may come tomorrow we would be
| much happier.
: This Country Parson has found
out that it is impossible to kill a
real live church with poor preach
ing.
The fellow who walks in the best
light he has today will some day
be able to walk in the sunlight of
real truth.
This war will never be won by
J SLOGANS and pretty SPEECHES;
I the sad part of it is: those who
j make such don’t care how long the
| war lasts for they are getting big
pay for it.
■ It is a great thing to attend to
| your own busines, but you have to
i do more than that if we win this
| war.
, We have too many people who
I want a freedom FROM service rath
, er than a fredom OF service.
No honest man can expect help
which he is unwilling to give,
j You can put it down that the
man who is always ready to boast
1 of his large giving is stingy, for the
generous are always sorry they
can’t give more.
To the narrow-minded those who
agree with them are broad-minded.
