"If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knotrvs no fear, then I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are' frightened. The courageous man is the man who forces himself, in spite of his fears, to carry on. Discipline, pride, self-respect, self-confidence, and the love of glory, are attributes which will make a man courageous, even if he is afraid."

-C;n1at *Georse S. Patton.

The most interesting book based on World War Two that has come my way is "Lucky Forward," written by Col. Robert S. Allen, concerning the campaign of the Third Army under General Patton. It is nothing if not terrific.

I recommend it. Col. Allen throughout the campaign, and the story is told at first hand. The opening quotation is from that book. :1.** was General Patton's aide

If Patton were still alive today, I arn not dead sure which I would prefer to have representing the United States in a head-and-head conference with the Godless men of Russia-Patton or MacArthur. MacArthur would do the smoothest job'-Patton the most rugged. Either would make himself thoroughly understood by such as Molotov, Vishinsky, or Stalin. Can you imagine those venomous Ruskies looking either of those men in the face and uttering their favorite insults to the United States? Even though backed by all the armies of the Soviet or all the legions of hell-they wouldn't dare. These are the sort of men I would like to see speaking for this country. And, since Patton isn't here, I have only one choicethe Magnificent MacArthur. *,k* fsn't it an impressive fact that the Russians have never made the assaults against this nation in the Japanese territory that they have in Europe? To stick their nose into MacArthur's business, would simply mean the certain loss of a nose. They are toughbut not that tough; they are stupid but not that stupid. They have let us practically alone in that area for just one reason

Had we kept our entire military strength in Europe and Asia, Russia would have been iust as friendly to us today as she was when we were pouring into her hands the tools with which she made her immortal stand against the Nazi hordes. With each shipload of American troops that came home, Russia grew less friendly. With each gun that we silenced, her good will disappeared. With each plane that we grounded, snarls replaced her smiles. Our trouble is that we don't read enough history. WE FORGET THAT HAWKS EVADE EAGLES. BUT EAT PIGEONS. command Americans in the great conflict. And where cuss words were to be used, he used them. Being a rough-neck myself, I enjoyed his remarks. There is nothing gentle about war, or war language. * *

If, by chance, you are inclined to be an admirer of British High Commander Montgomery; or if y o u shrink from robust language; don't tackle this book. The writer had a mighty poor opinion of "Monty." In fact, he hadn't too good an opinion of some of our high

The general opinion of the writer of the book is that General Patton had two mighty jobs over there; first, to whip the Germans; second, to get the high command to allow him to whip the Germans. The latter job was as big as the first. Read it, and see for yourself. The publisher is the Vanguard Press, New York.

To me, one of the highiiglit" l, ,n" entire book, is General Patton's favorits maxim, or piece of practical advice. The writer sayb datton gave trimself this advice frequently: "DOI:NOT, TAKE COUNSEL WITH YOUR FEARS." In other words, don't let your fears affect your judgment. That belongs in a class with that older philosophy of the same sort: "Never strike a sail to fear; come into port preudly, or sail with God the seas.!'

-MacArthur. **t<

My idea of the most perfect set-up in creation would be General MacArthur facing that unholy trio, Vishinsky, Stalin and Molotov, and telling them in his own original fashion just exactly what he thought of them. That would be something to make the mountain-tops rock in the heavens, the stars fall flashing from the sky. We all know what we THINK about the Ruskies. But MacArthur could put it in words. ***

Here are a few facts about General MacArthur you may not recall: In World War One he was gassed, he was wounded twice, he was decorated THIRTEEN TIMES for extreme braver5r under fire; he was cited seven additional times for bravery. One of those citations read: "fle displayed indomitable resolution and great courage in rallying broken lines and in reforming attacks, thereby making victory possible. On a field where.courage was the rule, his courage was the dominant feature." ***

There is an old saying in Scotland that "there is nothing (Continued on Page 8)
