I Our Great Power Now Beginning To Be Fsb a r 1 For the first time in its history, this country is fighting a war on all the continents and all the oceans. American troops andjor eqiupment are now engaged in every battlefront from Russia to Africa. And the numbers so engaged will increase vastly and swiftly in the future. It has taken us a long time to move from the defensive to the offensive stage in our war strategy, but we are gradually getting there. This is the first real “global war” history has ever known. By com parison, the wars of the past were localized operations. The master plan laid down by Hitler at the be ginning should now be clear to every one. First, it was necessary for him to conquer all of Europe, and to make it as invulnerable to inva sion as possible. Second, if was nec essary for him to obtain the vast oil and grain resources of Russia, and to eliminate the Russian army as a first-rate fighting • force. Third, his ally, Japan, was to take command and dominate in the Pacific. Fourth, his armies, working in concert with those of Japan, were to take over the Middle East and India. The United States would then, in effect, be an island surrounded by unfriend ly waters and cut off from all rela tions with the balance of the world. Then, at his leisure, Hitler could set about the job of finally defeating us. This must be the picture that was in Hitler’s mind when he sent his troops into Poland in 1939. The first step has been takeni—all Europe is in his power, and Allied raids such as that made against Dieppe show that he has built formidable defenses. The balance of the steps have not been taken—and the magnificent fight put up by the Ruaaians must bs given much of the credit for that. Rommel’s Afrika Korps Wight have driven through to Sue*'%cd not it been necessary to divert more and more Axis troops, planes and sup plies to the Russ’-!*'! f^nt- Japan might have gdne laitther yet in the Pacific had not the superb Russian resistance made it nece.isary fc.' her to maintain big garrisons facing the borders of Asiatic Russia. And Rus sia’s stand must have had a depress ing effect on the German masses at home. Long ago, Hitler promised them a quick and easy victory in Russia. That was the first promise of conquest to his own people that he has not been able to live up to. A dictator who cannot keep his word no longer wears the aura of invinci bility. This does not mean that the Unit ed Nations yet have the upper hand in the war. They have not. They have lost much and taken almost nothing. Whether or not Russia can continue as an effective, hard-hitting belligerent is the gravest of today’s unanswered questions. The great battle of the Pacific is as yet in the •preliminary stages. The obvious re luctance of United Nations leaders to deal frankly with the all-import ant issue of the second front indi cates that we are still a long way from being really ready to carry the war home to the enemy. The problem of shipping is not solved—though there has been an encouraging de cline in U-boat depredations. And no one yet knows whether the faith placed in air power by some Allied commanders is justified. In short, we have not stopped the Axis—but we have slowed it. Japan is finding her long Pacific supply line costly—we have taken a tre mendous toll of Jap ships and planes and seamen. German losses in Rus sia, even if we greatly minimize the Moscow accounts, must be enormoqs, and a large part of the casualties consist of first-line veterans. The Axis to sum up, has spent much of its strength in the war to date—we have spent little of ours. Here at home, the domestic situa tion is clearing. The problems of supply and production are being handled better. Some effort is be ing made to deal effectively with the crucial manpower situation. The drafting of 18 and 19 year-olds will give the military forces about 1,- 500.000 first class soldiers. There’s plenty of confusion, plenty of waste motion still, but it is gradually les sening—and heaven knows it’s time. Recent reports from all the battle- fronts indicate that new American equipmnet is vastly superior to that of the past. The Flying Fortress has proven itself the best plane in the world of its kind. It carries a smaller bomb load than the British Sterling, but it is much less vulner able to attack. American tanks of the General Grant class are excellent, and earlv bugs in design have been eliminated.' And great advancemen has taken place in our pursuit planes, which originally were no match at all for Axis types. Our latent power is beginning to be felt—and felt on the six continents Now it remains to be seen how swiftly we can increase that power, and put it to work.

LEAVES CODE OF LIFE FOR HIS SMALL SON • Arlington, Mass., Oct. 28.—Sturdy, five-year-old Jackie Shea, whose warrior father sent him an inspiring code of life—in case “I don’t come back”—clung hard tonight to a be lief that “My daddy will come home, I don’t care what anybody says.” Listed as “missing in action” and last seen leading a hopeless fight against the flames that consumed the airpkme carrier Wasp, Comman der John Joseph Shea sent his son a letter from the Pacific war thea tre—a letter so touching that many felt it would live as a part of the history of the current war. The full and exact text follows: “Dear Jackie: “This is the first letter I have written directly to my little son. I am thrilled to know you can read it all by yourself. If you miss some of the words it will be because I do not write very plainly. Mothei will help you in that case, I am sure. “I was certainly glad to hear your voice over the long distance tele phone. It sounded as though I were right in the living room with you. You sounded as though you missed your daddy very much. I miss you, too, more than anyone will ever know. It is too bad that this war could not have been delayed a few more years so that I could grow up again with you and do all the things I planned to do when you were old enough to go to school. “I though how nice it would be to come home early in the afternoon and play ball with you and go moun tain climbing and see the trees, brooks, and learn all about wood craft, hunting, fishing, swimming, and other things that, I suppose we must be brave and put these things off now f6r a while. “When you are a little bigger you will know why your daddy ^ is not home so much any more. You know we have a big country and we have ideals as to how people should live and enjoy the riches of it and how each is born with equal rights to life, freedom and the pursuit of happiness. Unfortunately there are some countries in the wcrld where they do not believe in these ideals, where a boy cannot grow up to be what he wants to be with no limit on his opportunities to be a great man such as a great priest, states man, doctor, soldier, businessman, etc. “Because there are people in countries who want to change our nation, its ideals, its form of gov ernment and way of life we must leave our homes and families to fight. Fighting for the defense of our country, ideals, homes and hon or is an honor and a duty which your daddy has to do before he can come home and settle down with you and mother. ’ When it is done he is coming home to be with you always and forever. So wait just a little while longer. I am afraid jt will be a little more than the two weeks you told me on the phone. “In the meantime take good care of mother, be a good boy and grow up to be a good young man. Study hard when you go to school. Be a leader in everything good in life. Be a good Catholic and you can’t help being good American. Piay fair al ways. Strive to win but if you must Mrs. Mae A. Aull, Junior Red Cross chairman, announced that the Junior Red Cross enrollment for the city and county schools began Nov ember 1 and will run through Nov ember 15th.l Last year the schools made a good record, with a 100 per cent enrollment for the white schools and 20 per cent for the Negro schools.

She knows what is best and will never let you down or lead you away from the right and honorable things of life. “If I don’t get back you will have to be mother’s protector because you will be the only one she has.
