LEADERS—In Wartime
In times of peace, a democratic na
tion is inclin^ to look on its army
and navy with pride, and even af
fection, blit with little curiosity. But
when war comes, as it has now come
for us, the people of that nation want
to know “Who are our leaders?”
“Who are these men to whom we
have entrusted the lives of our sol
diers and sailors, the safety of our
homes, our success in battle?”
The men in command of our arm
ed forces in the Far East saw ser
vice in Europe, or in European wat
ers, in the last war, and were hand
picked by President Roosevelt for
their present positions with the
knowledge that ^e day would prob
ably come when our safety and suc
cess would depend upon their lead
ership.
Lieut. Gen. Douglas MacArthiu,
commander of all U. S. armed forces
in the Far East, was graduated from
West Point at the head of the class
of 1903. His scholastic record was the
highest made at the military acade
my in 25 years. After a spectacular
performance as commander of the
Rainbow division in France in the
last war he was, in 1919, appointed
superintendent of West Point. He
was the youngest man ever to hold
that position. In 1925. he became the
youngest active major general in the
army, and when, in 1930, Hoover
made him chief of staff, he added
another “youngest” to his record by
becoming the youngest chief of staff
the country had ever had. His re
appointment for an additional year
gave him the longest term in that
topflight army office. And, at the age
of 60, he was the youngest living
four-star general, a rank previously
held only by Grant, Sherman, Sheri
dan, Pershing, Bliss, March and
Summerall.
In 1935, while U. S. isolationism
was gaining momentum and war
seemed a long way off, MacArthur
retired and sailed for the Philip
pines. President Quezon of the Phil
ippines, however, was not so opti
mistic. With an eye on the “complete
independence” of the islands in 1946,
he named MacArthur, with President
Roosevelt’s approval, “fleld marshal
of the Philippines,” and MacArthur
set about the task of making the is
lands impregnable by 1946. He
fought political snipers, Filipino so
cialists and Japane^ insistence that
he was a “Japanopbobe.” Meanwhile,
he created a “little native army,”
founded a military academy modeled
on West Point and formed the nu
cleus of an air force. Then, last July,
President Roosevelt, declaring the
Far East unsafe, appointed MacAr
thur commanding general of all the
armed forces in the Far East.
(Continued fro mpage three)
ing only one meeting were J. H.
Pitts, Joe Delaney and L. E. Bishop.
Group ‘singing was led during the
evening, with Dr. John G. Barden as
leader, and Mrs. Owens accompaifist.
The club rooms were beautifully
decorated throughout with impress
ive Christmas scenes. The dinhig
room was exquisite in a blue and
silver color scheme carried out in
detail. Each table was centered with
groups of reindeers and sleighs. The
room was lii^ted by myriads of soft
ly glowing candles. Kiwanis “wel
come” placards arranged in the
building added to the effective set
ting. In front of the club house the
guests were greeted with several
gaily lighted Christmas trees.

attending the party were: Mr. and
Mrs. W. E. Monts, Mr. and Mrs. R.
