1943 The Tribune Ls a member of the Associsted Press The Associated Proms le exclusively entitled to the um for reproductiou of all news dispatches credited tr It or not otherwise credited in this paper sno also the local news published herein Winning the Global War And Perfecting a Global Peace It is difficult to discuss with a strict sense of consistency the ideals of democracy and the strategies of war Here in the United States the people although believers in freedom in its widest form have been able to compromise their love of liberty with more or less dictatorial measures taken by the government in furwar program They therance of the all-ohave willingly done this because they realize that in time of war many desirable things must be given up if speedy victory is to be won This victory they believe is important enough in the long run to demand sacrifices which are temporary Most of them concede that segments of liberty thus surrendered for the duration will be recovered after the war Also they are convinced that if victory is not secured If Hitler wins and the world is overrun by nazis these liberties and many others will be lost to them forever—or at least - ut for Hitler's "thousand years" But even with such possibilities before them it is sometimes difficult for Americans to make up their minds what sacrifices and which compromises are necessary Thus it is doubly difficult for them to judge actions and policies of this country in foreign fields The confusion which exists in the United States over our political position in north Africa is not hard to understand under the circumstances Many persons admit of the soundness who military policies which preserved the lives of many American soldiers in the occupation of French Morocco and Algeria question diplomatic moves such as our acquiescence in the appointment of Peyrouton as political chief of the French African colonies Many Americans think that the United States has lost prestige as a democratic power in the world among oppressed and subjugated peoples as a result of espousing profascist leaders in a country occupied by our military forces They even go a step farther—at least in their thoughts it so appears—and believe that It Is this country's job to tell the civil population of north Africa what sort of government they must have If this type of thinking rules the deliberations of the peacemakers after the war it will wreck the most carefully laid plans for a free and durable world strucfor all peoples ture If be to an of the earth is integral part of new the united nations' order then neither nor Great Britain can the United States will upon the inhabiimpose its political tants of other sections of the earth not now under allied protection On the other hand this certainly does not mean that the united nations strictly speaking are going to keep hands off Germany Japan and Italy in the matter of disarming ideological education and other internal affairs America and her allies are ' determined that any truce which will be offered the axis enemies will be couched in terms and guarantees to preclude any such travesty on peace as that produced by the treaty of Versailles With each criminal disturber of world peace the united nations must be uncompromising they must insure the future peace if necessary by announcing and enforcing harsh terms they must fumigate the minds of such people and they must take away their tools of murder But If we Americans are to be consistent among ourselves we must permit the inhabitants of the various geographical units to choose their own form of government One of our greatest allies is now and will no doubt emerge from the war as communistic in government Other peoples may choose some variant of the fascistic plan The United States and Britain have operated successfully for some time as democracies and will retain their forms of government Dictatorships have fostered war but only because the democracies were too complacent and too fearful to suppress the bellicose spirit when it first emerged Americans do not like dictatorship and will have none of it but it is conceivable that another people might find it the most comfortable system under which to Live If dictatorships cannot survive in a World of peace then so much the worse for them If fascism and naziism cannot xsurvive without war then they are -- doomed ' Two things upon which we of the nations are determined and agreed united war and making every hu—winning the man effort possible afterward toward eatallishing an indestructible peace New Names on the List of Celebrated Villages Explaining that Casablanca is Spanish for White House the Los Angeles Times calls attention to the significance of that designation in view of the recent conference held there "It has taken a special place in world history" says the Times writer "as the destination of the most amazing trip ever taken by an American president" True Woodrow Wilson went to France at the close of the first World war Franklin D Roosevelt attended a Pan-Americ- an conference in Buenos Aires and President Taft met Diaz on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande But these were peacetime journeys—not taken in the middle of a war when planes and submarines were patrolling the earth nor were those earlier meetings held on battlefields which dislodged and desperate enemies were trying to recapture The article in the times proceeds to record predictions regarding Casablanca as follows: It has taken on a permanent importance as "the place where the final downfall of Hitler and Hirohito was worked out It will be known as the name which struck dark terror to the souls of Germans and Japanese and even to unfortunate misled Italians because its message is not bluffing but the stark announcement of bloody retribution and doom to come" conclusion the writer says that "down the months these names have marched forth to glory—Dunkerque Tobruk Bataan Corregidor Coral sea Midway Stalingrad Guadalcanal Casablanca —the list will continue to grow in intensity and success for us" This distant and hitherto obscure spot —this beautiful town of the tropics—this stoutly defended seaport now a prize won by the allies will be mentioned in future histories as "a symbol of bravery ideals aspirations and achievements" ' Heroism of a Little Girl Who Aided Injured Aviators Heroism may be defined as a triumph of soul over self of duty over danger According to Thomas Carlyle "society is founded on hen? worship" It is a healthy devotion as it stimulates the young and stirs the old to renewed faith in mankind "To admire heroism makes heroic people" said Disraeli But the peril of warfare is not the only incentive to daring deeds nor is the blaze of a battlefield the only crucible in which heroic natures are developed As Gray pointed out in his immortal "Elegy" every scene may have its "Village Hamden" its local "Cromwell guiltless of his country's blood" In localities in rural homes in simple lives t the spirit of service and sacrifice—sometimes igno-re- d by fate is passed up by opportunity which does not knock at every door Take the exemplary behavior of little Marylynn 'Winkler of southern California She heard an army plane crash on a hilltop five miles from her home and set out for the wreckage to see if she could be of help She found two badly injured survivors and four dead soldiers Although but 9 years old she went to work and built a fire and did what was possible to make the men more comfortable For hours until rescuers arrived she carried brush and wood up the rugged slope with the solicitude of a saint and of a marine But she waved all compliments aside saying: "It was something anyone would do I just couldn't leave them there alone and hurt like that" lass— Long live that little Marylynn Winkler of Castaic Cal!
