NORTH AFRICA (By Wireless)—The fond mothof WACs in Africa may have visions of their ) le girls all alone over here in this big bad off olive-skinned rogues with one and snakes with the other. They needn't worry. The girls are perfectly safe. The city they are in is as modern, though in a European way, as cities back home. Thousands of French women and girls, dressed just as Americans dress, crowd the streets at all hours. here are American army nurses, and British nurses, WAAFs, WRENs and ATS girls, and five different kinds of French service girls in uniform.

'HE COST of war, even in the restricted sense intwhichh I have been seeing it, is amazing to me. I hear that congress has appropriated the incredible sum of 100 billion dollars for next year—which is far more than the total income of the whole American people in the best vears before the war. We spent some T0 billion dollars on war in the last Yiccal year, But the dollar is only part of it. Think of the exhausted resources, irreplaceable natural wealth which all nations are pouring into the conflict. useful careers interrupted for millions of men, loss of health and 'ife for thousands of them,

Traveling around Britain and here in North Africa, IT have seen acres of ammunition dumps, sometimes driving for miles along roads lined with piles of big shells, bombs, landmines, stacks of metal boxes filled with machine gun ammunition. I have seen acres of trucks, jeeps and other vehicles, warehouses packed with all kinds of merchandise. Nobody should think I am suggesting that we be niggardly in outfitting and equipping our men. That is not the point at all. The point is that to fight modern war the whole of civilization must consecrate itself to the task of mass slaughter and mass destruction. Nor am I suggesting this war was] unnecessary. It obviously was inescapable after international anarchy was permitted to continue and aggressors were allowed to grow strong enough to resort to force without being confronted with an effective opposition.

CHAPTER TEN

IN CHUNG

KING. on Oct.

7. 1942, I made a statement

to the Chinese and foreign press in which I tried to state some of the conclusions I had reached on my trip around

the world.

I have traveled through 13 countries, soviets, republics, mandated areas, colonies and dependencies

In part, this is what I said:

I have seen kingdoms,

I have

seen an almost bewildering variety of ways of living and ways of ruling

and of being ruled.

But I have found certain things common to all the countries I have visited and to all the ordinary people in those countries with

whom I have talked:

They all want the united nations to win the war.

They all want

a chance at the end of the war to live in liberty and Indepenaence.

They all doubt, in varying degrees, the readiness of the leading democracies of the world to stand up and be counted for freedom for others after the war is ever, This doubt kills their enthusiastic participation on our side. Now, without the real support of these common people, the winning of the war will be enormously difThe winning of the peace will be nearly impossible. This war is not a simple, technical problem for task forces. It is also a war for men’s minds. We must organize on our side simply the sympathies but the active, aggressive, offensive spirit of nearly three-fourths of the people of the world who live in South America, Africa, eastern Europe, and Asia. We have not done this and at present are not doing this. We have got to do it : « Men need more than arms with which to fight and win this kind of war, They need enthusiasm for the future and a conviction that the flags they fight under are in bright clean colors.

the fact remains that the mail can take considerable time every day, and reading the papers and enjoying what youthful guests turn up and occasionally talking to a few adults who appear, as well, with just a little reading thrown in, seems to fill a day. Of course, I have not mentioned that we swim and lie in the sun every day and that we do take a little exercise and see something of our neighbors, either on foot or on a bicycle.

I do not propose to discuss that tangled question. But it has one aspect in the East, which I should report. From Cairo on, confronted me at every turn, The wisest man in China said to me: “When the aspiration of India for freedom was put aside to some future date, it was not Great Britain that suffered in public esteem in the Far East. It was the United States.” We are learning In this wap that the test of a people is their aim and not their color.

White Race Is Learning

IN THE EAST, we have a plain example. Japan is our enemy because of her wanton and barbariec aggression upon weaker nations and because of the imperialistic doctrine by which she seeks to rule and enslave the world. Japan is our enemy because of the treacherous and unprovoked attacks by which she has launched each of her assaults in carrving forward her scheme of conquest. China is our friend because like us she nourishes no dream of conquest and because she values liberty. She is our ally because, fire. among the nations, she resisted aggression and enslavement. Here are two oriental peoples One is our enemy; one is our friend. Race and color have nothing to do with what we are fighting for today.

Seek Rooms for Soldiers’ Wives

Wives come to Indianapolis from many parts of the country to visit their soldier husbands stationed at Ft. Benjamin Harrison. Due to housing conditions, many of them have great difficulty in finding suitable aecommodations. Rooms and light housekeeping rooms accessible to the Ft. Harrison bus line are needed for thdse guests. Some of the visitors remain only over the week-end, and others for longer periods. You may have rooms in your home which are not in use. It is hospitable—and patriotic —to make them available to the families of the men in our armed forces. Your rooms will be put to good use if you will list them with the Homes Registry bureau, 114 WW.

Our Race Imperialism

IT HAS BEEN a long while since the United States had any imperialistic designs toward the outside world. But we have practiced within our own boundaries something that amounts to race imperialism, The attitude of the white citizens of this country toward the Negroes has undeniably had some of the unlovely characteristics of an alien imperialism-—a smug racial superiority, a willingness to exploit an unprotected people. We are, in addition, already witnessing a crawling, insidious anti-Semitism in our own country. It will be well to bear in mind continuously that we are fighting

today against intolerance and op-,

pression, and that we shall get them in abundance if we lose. It was only a short time ago— less than a quarter of a century—

that the allied nations gained an

BUT AFTER that shut ourselves away trade by excessive tariff barriers. We washed our hands of the continent of Europe and displayed no interest in its fate while Germany rearmed. We torpedoed the London economic conference when the European democracies, with France lagging in the rear, were just beginning to recover from the economic depression that had sapped their vitality, and when the instability of foreign exchange remained the principal obstacle to full revival. And in so doing, we sacrificed a magnificent opportunity for leadership in strengthening and rehabilitating the democratic nations, in fortifying them against assault by the forces of aggression which at that very moment were beginning te gather.
