In Rome he made a vow to lib erate his country from Sdsii:. K;s country was South America.

Mac Arthur's Australian Campaign Heightens Spirit of All Ameriea General Douglas MacArthur A fipliting General for fiphtin/i mail people is he . . . "^T OW you are going to see some real fighting. That is what thousands of persons said, some of whom might have said it to you, when word was flashed from Aus tralia that General Douglas MacArthur was down there to as sume the supreme United Nations command in that region. Ever since the war in the Pacific region began, the story of the ground warfare has been continually, and dishearteningly the same but with one exception. Newspaper and radio accounts have related of continual retreats and, finally, surrenders by the Allied armies. But the brilliant exception to all this defensive warfare is and was the activity of General MacArthur, his aides, and his native and American troops fighting on the Bataan pen insula. Not only did MacArthur stop the Japs? and thereby causing the com mander. Gen. Masaharu Homma, to commit hara kiri ? but he also put through two brilliant, strategical of fensives which prevented further enemy advances at the time. Reason for Australians' Respect. Such immediate background of j this brilliant general, this Number : One officer of the United Nations, j was the cause for the increasing j clamor of the Australians to have ! MacArthur come down there and help them, with American, British, Australian, and native soldiers, re sist the Japs in the last Pacific re gion stand. So, after receiving or ders on Washington's birthday from the President to go to Australia, MacArthur made plans with his suc cessor, Maj. Gen. Jonathan May hew Wainwright, a brilliant tacti cian, for further defense at 3ataan. 'Mac's the Man.' When a "roving reporter" for one o i iiie uuUt5R-isg Midwest newspa pers went out to interview pedes trians as to how they felt about the new shakeup in military control in the Pacific region whereby General MacArthur was given complete mil itary control, the consensus of opin ion was. "Mac's the Man." One fellow said that it was the best news he heard since the U. S. entered the war. A housewife said that, "MacArthur is the man for the job." A student on his way to his class at university said that if anyone can successfully "Slap the Japs." MacArthur is the one that can do it. A not too busy auto salesman said that the general's appointment was the most impor tant move since the United States was stabbed in the back. Such opinions as these of Mr. and Mrs. America reflect ? it is almost certain to say ? the opinion of this nation, and all Allied nations as a whole. Even in London, the news papers there, commenting on the first time that a foreign general has taken command of defense in Brit ish dominions, had nothing but en couraging, hopeful, and optimistic words. Fame After Career Ended. Fame came to General MacAr thur after his career had ended! For it was in 1935 that he retired from the army after making a "name" for himself as officer of World War I, and decorated for con spicuous courage. His decorations are reportedly more numerous than any other officer in the service. Back in 1903 he was graduated from military academy, heading his class. Ever since then he has been showing his fellow officers and his men under him that he is "one of the men" who knows how to fight. Son of a Civil war hero, Lieut. Gen. Arthur MacArthur, General Douglas went with his father as an 1 aide when he went to Tokyo on a Since General MacArthur has taken his new command in Australia to stop, and then push back, the Japanese drive, Maj. Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwricht (left), shnwn talking with Gen. MacArthur. has been ap pointed to uie command of the forccs that outfought, despite 20 to I odds, the Jap forces on the Bataan peninsula in the Philippine Islands. Futurr General?? Little four-yea'-old Arthur Muc Arthur. son of General and Mrs. MiicArthur. is starting rarlv in a possible war career. Bi ,r..des having a famous general as a father, Arthur's grandfather, a Civil war veteran after whom he is named, commanded a Manila brigade in 1898 when U. S. forces captured that city. When war broke out in the Philippines little Arthur and his mother, the former Miss Jean Faircloth of Murfreesboro. Tenn.. were reported safe on the isla.**d. The next word that came through as to their whereabouts was when their arrival in Australia with the general and his stufT was an nounced. mission in 1905-'06. On three dif ferent occasions he saw extended army service in the Philippines. In 1935 he went to Manila as the commonwealth's president, Manuel Quezon's military adviser. That his advisory capacity to President Quezon was of a success ful nature is now seen in the suc cessful manner in which American troens, Philippine scout profession als, a^d Filipino reservists, under his comi..=?nd. fought. So, at the a^c of 50, after many years of active service, it looked as though General MacAriiiu^'s mili tary life was at an end. It seemed that he was then destined for ob scurity after being chief of stafT for five years. But, it has often been stated, that it is the seemingly lit tle incidents in a person's life which eventually develop into significant, extremely important matters. What would have happened had MacAr thur, upon being "retired," not been sent to the Philippines to shape lip a military force there is impossible to say. Once again, MacArthur's life is showing that fart is oftentimes more interesting than fiction. Here, in MacArthur, you see a story book Mrs. Douglas Mac Arthur It is now up to her husband . . . soldier, cool, even tempered, poised, admired by his staff and men, pre paring to do a tiianic job despite heavy odds against it. Even the general's air-flight of 2,000 miles to Australia had a touch of the dramatic to it. For the zone over which he and his officers and aides flew in two planes, has been conceded as being the "hot er?M" nf the southwest Pacific. This is the zone where both enemy and Allied planes are continually on the alert. Fighters, bombers, and in terceptors, always ready for bat tle. When you look at a map and see the territory you will fully real ize that MacArthur has not lost any of his boldness. It is such dar ing, skill, and calm that has put all the confidence of the Allied nations' peop'e directly on his shoulders. The Yanks, and Aussies, being what they are in temperament, and dis position as to being ready for a fight at all times, now hove a man as their leader they know will not fail them. Congressmen Behind ilim, Too. That this attitude even goes lor officials and congressmen in the na tion's capital is noted in the com ment of various congressmen on the day that MacArthur's safe arrival was announced in a special official war department communique. Sen. Millard E. Tydings. (D., Md.) said that Australia now has real leader | ship . . that he was very happy to i know that MacArthur was down there where a man such as he is i needed. Rep. Joseph J. Mansfield, (D., Texas) put in a comment which all Americans fully understand. He said that MacArthur is sure going to "raise hell" with the Japs pro viding we can keep him supplied with a continuous line of supplies and men. House Minority Leader Joseph W. i Martin (R., Mass.), said he was happy to hear of the famous sol dier's appointment. He further add ed thai such ar. sppc-.r.tir.cnt will add to the confidence of the Ameri can people. Gem m of Thought T^HE willingness to take risks * is our grasp of faith.
