Bis resources are limited and he can ot throw in the fighter protection that the boal,ers need. However, he said, nfter an air field has be n established at Empress Augusta Bay the Americana and Auctraliane could put plenty of fighters within range of New Britain. MacArthur went on to say that if he had his way he would hit the Jape at two, three or four ' points all at once, but for that he has not the necessary forces and equipment. The Jap soldier he explained is tough in body and s p i · t, but low in his thinking apparatus. He h a~ l o t some of the cocksureness that he hcrl some years ago.

The fir t of the Moscow declarations is signed not only by Secretary Hull, British Foreign Minister Anthony Eden and Soviet Minister M. V. Molotov, but also by the Chinese Ambassador to the Soviet&. In that one all four governments pledge themselves to cooperate, and fight this war to a finsih until we lave the unconditional surrender of the enemy. hat is more, they swear to cooperate after the war, cooperate for the or g anization and maintenance of peace and security. The Forei 6 n Ministers also put themselves definitel on record in favor of a ne kind of a Leagu• of Nations They call it a general international organization, based on the principles o the soverei g n equality of all peace-lovin st tes.

Also, th crimes are to be punish~d in the countries where they ere oommitted--exce p t int e c e of those men who did the pl annin g at home in G ermany. More or less in lin e with this, Yarshal Badoglio, Premier of Italy, today offered a suggestion for the punishment of Mussolini and Hitler. Badoglio propose• that they both be put int e same cage and t ken around Europe as a side-show ex~ibit. He is reported to have chuckled as he surmised that the money collected in admission fees might be used to pay off war debts. Thia has been suggested by others. But coming from Uatsbal Badoglio it's startling indeed. In still !a2~h!! declaration, the three powers, Britain, Russia and the U. S. A., agree that Austria shall be l iberated from German domination. They regard th e Anschluss of March Fifteenth, Nineteen Thirty- ei g ht as null and void. This declar ation ends with a reminder to Austria th a t sh by th e way cannot evade fQ_ftB_ ~ gE --5 all blame for ta in part in t h ·ar at t e side of Ritlerite Germany. The same ttree po ers not o nly vow the restorition of democratic o ernment in Italy, but they insist that the Italian government must be made more democrati by including those Italian people who have always opposed Fascism. And, they st teas a fundamental principle, that Fascism and all its evil influence and configuartion shall be completely destroyed• Democratic government in both Austria •nd Italy to be restored by joint action of the three po ere. How about a Secone Front? No announcement was aade about th t. W icb ias explained by a statement that any such news might help the Nazis and do the United Nations no good.
