THE RETURN TO TOKYO
The second raid on Tokyo must have turned the thoughts.
of mattv of us back to the first attack on the Japanese capital j
and to the momentous events of the intervening two yeflrs
and seVen months which set the two missions in such sharp,
contrast. It is a backward glance that illuminates this
country’s Strength and spirit with particular clarity.
The dav’s outlook on April 18, 1942. was dark. Bataan
had fallen.'And for nine days enemy planes and artillery
had been blasting incessantly at our last Philippine foothold i
on Corregidor, where a few survivors of Bataan fought a |
hopeless Battle with surpassing bravery Elsewhere in the
Philippines the Japs were striking at will. They were over-,
running the British in Burma, and roaming the seas, and j
skies almost unopposed. , , ,
Then suddenly there came the first bit of good new s
that this country had wanted so long and needed so desperate- j
lv Jimmy Doolittle and his squadron had shown the Japs that;
an apparently beaten opponent was still on its feet, and had NATURAL EXPLANATION
begun to fight back. , . , .__
The Doolittle mission was an audacious undertaking,
boldly planned and brilliantly executed in the face of many
difficulties. The cost, weighed against the damage done, was
heavy But it was one of the telling blows of the war. r or
as the bomhs"exploded in Tokyo, there exploded with them
the Japs’ belief in their impregnability and early victory.
On Nov. 24, 1944, the outlook by comparison was bright
But it was bright only because thousands of Americans had
fought ana il&d on obscure islands, and in steaming, treacher-
artfHnmrles. and on and over the endless wastes

It must have been a shock when Mrs. Gladys Doherty,
wife of a soldier, strolled around to collect the rent on her
newly-acquired house behind a Brooklyn police station and
found no house there.
The shock could have been lessened very little when a

Indubitably the weather, as a topic of conversation, is
overworked and tends to become boring. However, that
