"EUROPE IS FINISHED"
IMACARTHUR'S BELIEF
General Mac Arthur's point of view on the Far East is* extremely interesting Almost everyone who has talked with him during his long sojourn in the Pacific has come back with the same report, writes Marquis Childs in the "Washington Post." It is MacArthur's, belief that if the United States has a future as a nation, it lies in the Pacific. It lies in raising the sub-standards of millions of Asiatics who have lived near or even below the subsistence .level. He believes that Europe is finished. In talking with his visitors he often expressed this in a. fierce resentment of the fact that a preponderance of material was going to the European war theatre. Partly, of course, this could be put down to the understandable resentment of a theatre commander jealous of the advancement of his own forces, but it went deeper than that.
The principle of paying back pay as from April 1, 1945, 'to the laboratory, X-ray massage, dispensary, dental, and house surgeons' staff was adopted by the Wellington Hospital Board last night.
