That the expedition was success ful attests not only the thoroughness , i defeats inflicted upon the Japan-e-e Navy, but the growing impunity itn which our fleet disregards lu.,d-hased aircraft. The carrier ship strength of the American lleet has reached such proportions in the Pacific that it is now possible for tamer-based air cr...t to overwhelm Japanese land based aiitraft. .Striking from the decks of their carriers, American planes blast Japanese aircraft sta tioned at island bases and manage to maintain aerial supremacy despite frantic Japanese efforts to send in aerial reinforcements. It should be noted that the use of amphibious tactics alone has made puss;ble the steady advance of Am erican ground forces into the Philip pine islands. Such tactics are only possible to the nation which con t,.is the surrounding waters. In telligently and boldly utilized, as in thi present instance, amphibious of fenses catch the enemy unaware, in his weak places, and move forward, with slight losses, to inevitable vic tory. Britain And The Greeks The debate in the House of Com mons on Britain's Greek policy should be noted by American critics of that policy. Then it will be clear that no single nation has a monopoly on liberalism and humaneness, or need set itself up as the only guard ian of genuine freedom. Things were said in Commons that were both sharper and more di rectly effective than pin pricking from the American side of the At lantic could be. Mr, Eden's reply to the critics was somewhat reassuring. Moreover, these criticisms moved to ward their abjective without disturb ing Allied unity and without giving comfort to an enemy watching for every sign of discord among the Al lies, to bolster the morale of his own soldiers and home front. It is not widely enough known in the Lnited States that British pol icy in Greece has been under attack in Britain itself, not for the last few days only, as it has in America, but 'for months.

But it is doubtful if anything that can be said three thousand miles away will prove more salutary, unless the speakers are in a position themselves to sat isfy the Greek hunger for food as well as liberty and able to offer de pendable guarantees for the security of Britain's which is to say, at this moment, the Allies' Mediterranean life line. It is quite in order for the United States Government to make clear that it has no hand in policies suspected of aiming at a return of the mon archy to Greece despite evident widespread opposition among the Greeks to such a government It is useful for liberal elements every where to get behind those in Britain to insure progressive policies in in ternational affairs. But it is essen tial that these pressures shall not become an influence for division among the nations who have been forced to fight together for their freedom in a Nazi-menaced world.
