Some four years ago when the first foreign planes flew over Japan, they dropped propaganda leaflets to the Japanese people, pointing out to them the . folly ,of war and the cruelty of their . "sons and brothers in the battle on the vAsiaffe mainland. The planes were Chinese1 and the fact that they carried leaf letC 'instead of bombs was noted widely in the world's press though none rose to declare that the action would in any way hasten victory as would have a broadside of blockbusters. Today the military bombing of Japan has become a reality and the world now leans back and asks itself how and how long the Japanese can take it. This is a fair question and though even the military don't know the answer, some factors are clear to anyone. In the first place, Japan is in a different situation from Germany when the Allies began bombing the Reich in force. Germany had air superiority, she had the advantage of poising the threat of invasion on Britain, whence came the bombs at her vitals, so part of the RAF had to stand by for possible defense action Japan has no visible air cover and her anti-aircraft firing . is ineffective. In the second place, two things have been demonstrated by air power in this war. One is that airplanes do not occupy territory or even break civilian morale. Fear of the latter was the dominant line of thinking done before this war bp the so-called military experts. The second is that air power can forestall amphibious invasion. It was air power that saved Britain from German occupation. Knowing this, it is probable the Japs are saving part of their dwindling air force for the expected Allied landing attempt. . These things being true, tije next factor is to know at what time the Allies concentrate enough air, sea and land power at any one point to make a landing in Japan. And if such a concentration cannot be made soon, then certainly the thing to do is to go where the enemy has his main army, China, and there to battle with him. Seizure of Japan will not be like invasion of Germany, either. The Japanese "mainland" consists of four majorjslands. No certain one of these can contain all the defending forces, or theothers would be left undefended. iTojjimove defending forces from one to another, merely because the Allies had landed on the other would be folly. Thus by threatening landings on UNITY BEGINS WITH "U" Ve all realize, now, that we mast have unity between the United Nations if we are to win this war and prevent .another. But do we realize that we cannot have unity bet worn the nations without unity within them? Unity does not mean that we must all think alike. It does mean that we must respect the thoughts and rights of others, and that we must be prepared to stick together. Unity, like charity, begins at home! What you and I say over the back fence multiplied by what all Canadians like us are saying that is public opinion. Are we personally building or breaking down unity? Do we like to pick holes in our fellow citizens who go to different churches, belong to different races, believe in different political creeds? Do we like to repeat funny (but malicious) stories about the British, the Americans, the Russians and our other allies? Ottawa, Washington, London, Moscow cannot make us united unless we truly want to be. Nations are groups of people- -you and me multiplied, We. are a democracy. It's up to us. Unity begins with "U." "THE MEN'S STORE" two or three of the islands, ve may' be able to minimize the defending force where the main landing is made. Then when we have seized some ground we shall be able to provide air cover for invasion of the other islands. This air cover likewise can help forestall Jap movements from one island to the other for defense purposes, though the waterways are narrow and not hard to traverse. . We do not expect the real landing in Japan for some months but there well may be a "Dieppe" type of experimental raid any time, now that air power has moved into Japan's backyard. Before the greatest military operation of the war can be undertaken, some such type of test may be expected, and then is when the world may gain some indication of the probable length of the war. Ontario's Botfibshell . . . Ontario, which has ere this often done unusual things politically, has had a provincial government defeated on a direct want of confidence issue in the Legislature and Premier George Drew, who has been operating with a minority Progressive - Conservative government, will takehis challenge for a mandate to the people at an early election. No doubt, it would be desirable for Ontario to have its provincial political atmosphere cleared up but whether a provincial election thrown into the midst of a federal campaign will do so is something that is much to be doubted. In fact, from this distance, it seems that it might have been in the better interests of Canada's greatest province if such a. contest could have been staved off at this time. Of course, there have leen certain political difficulties in Ontario. One of the chief has'been Col. Drew's own individualism which has aroused not only his political opponents but certain sections of his own normal party support. The fact that he chose to force an issue in the face of obvious defeat was just an illustration. And, of course, there are those elements in the Ontario -Opposition who must play their political game and who could hardly be expected not to rise to the Premier's own challenge. Winston Churchill might be al;le to make a jo of thpse kjnd of challenges "in his Parliament but George Drew, egotistical as he may be, should never have expected he could get away with it in Ontario- where they always take their politics so seriously. With Mitchell Hepburn "back as king pin of the Liberals and the C.C.F. now a factor to be reckoned with there, we can look forward to a political dogfight in Ontario which will possibly eclipse the interest in the more important federal election within the province itself and will command attention throughout the country. And what will nrobablv come nf it ! will be a continuation of an unsettled ' ponucai siuation in Ontario -just as there is there now. GREEN SPOT TAXI 65 TAXI Better English By D. C. WILLIAMS 1.
