Stewart Says:
MacArthur I*
Made to Order
For Offensive
In the Philippines and now

Central Press Columnist

area, of course
is recognized as
one of history's
"m o s t brilliant
soldiers. How-
ever. the utility
of his actual
fighting leader-
ship wasn't the
only reason for
his assignment
to his present
post “s o m e-
Gen. MacArthur where in Aus-
tralia."
His all-around personality is
spoken of in Washington as a tre-
| mendous asset in the stimulation of
boundless enthusiasm and confi-
■ dence tn the rank and file of his
officers and men.
He’s got dash: a theatrical qual-
ity It wouldn’t be sufficient if he
I hadn’t martial ability, too. but he
has.
He’s defensively super-compe-
( tent, but an offensive campaign is
what he was made to order for. A
first-rate chance for his genius to
assert itself was lacking while he
remained pretty effectively ma-
rooned. with the Japs outnumber-
ing him ten to one. on southern
Luzon, though even there he took
a frequent telling jab into the
enemy’s front. Loose in the open,
it's accepted as a foregone conclu-
sion that his raiding will begin
scoring against the Axis before
hostilities are many days older.
Outnumbered, but—
He s outnumbered yet. Still, a'
larger proportion of Australia’s
military strength is said to be en-
rolled and in training than is the
case in any other area on earth. j
He'll have Dutch help also. |
From America it appears that' he |
needs equipment more than man 1
power, but he'll get some of that
likewise. *
And the anti-Jap Filipinos will
continue to be useful, if he can
keep them armed.
Finally, not only are the Austra-
I lians. the Dutch and the Filipinos I
I all rarin’ to fight, but Generalissimo

A Japanese family In I-os Angeles' "Little Tokyo” goes on a last
shopping expedition to Japanese-owned stores displaying large
' -vs that proclaim they are "going out of business." All Japanese
_ '.tic vital areas of the Pacific coast are being moved Inland to
prevent possible sabotage and spying.
The nation with the most reserve manpower eventually emerges
victorious if that nation’s power of production can equip and
supply this fighting manpower.
America has the reserve electric power to keep its defense indus-
tries running day and night . . . the production lines moving
constantly turning out war equipment. The fact that America has
this reserve electric powei is no accident. It is the result of the
planning and looking ahead, anticipating possible future needs,
by good sound business men. These men, the leaders of America’s
electric industry are going all out for defense of America. The
companies they represent arc ready with the necessary electric pow-
er available. If the necessity arises they are ready today to go ahead
with construction of added capacity planned for several years
in the future. And America’s taxpayers won't be out one cent.

describe as the edge of Burma’s
"Shan states."
Parenthetically "shan" is a Chi-
nese word meaning a "mountain
chain."
We hear of Shantung and Shansi
provinces in northern China.
“Tung” means east "Si" means
west Accordingly Shantung is east
of a. certain "shan.” or mountain
range and Shansi is west of it. And
Burma's "shan states" (the "S" in
"shan" isn't entitled to be capital-
ized) are its mountain states
We might as well learn a little
Chinese as a by-product of the war
Strategists generally agree that
General MacArthur’s problem
would be immensely simplified for
him if we had had the forethought
to build a railroad across Canada,
from our northern border to Alas-
ka. before World War No 2 began
The Canadians were quite willing
to grant us a right-of-way. but we
postponed the job too long
Had it been attended to at the
time it originally was suggested,
we could be air-raiding Japanese
cities into heaps of ashes today,
from the Aleutians What it would
do to the Japs’ production of war

phasizing
By Water Is Slow
It's true, we still can get equip-
ment to an Alaskan base by water
or by plane, but it's slower work
than it would be to rush it up
northward, in sufficient volume, by
rail.
Meantime it’s taken for granted

The Axis powers naturally are
broadcasting their version that the
general "abandoned" the Philip-
pines because he realized that he
I was licked there Their hope, it
> goes almost without saying, is to
! demoralize the democracies’ morale,
and particularly to Impress the
Latin Americas Their story doesn't
seem to he taking very well,
though.
Japanese morale apparently isn’t
altogether fireproof, either
Jap generals have a habit of
committing hari-kiri in fits of dis-

Homma, in charge of the Mikados
troops in the Philippines, is report-
ed to have done it the other day

Arthur’s meanness to him. tn refus-

General Yamashita to follow suit
